Many teams carry 3rd down RB's that can either block, run, or, catch a pass/screen and it is important that they can do ALL of it otherwise the opposition will know why that RB is in there.

Your going to normally carry three RB's and you better have on that can do all three of these things equally well. Right now Jackson is that guy and he's actually better than most when you combine the skills needed.

When Jackson is in there on 3rd down the defense simply cannot know whether he is going to block, receive, or, carry the ball. If they did it would be much simpler to defend the play.

There are times people here say "when I see that lineup I know exactly what they are going to do" but you can't say that when Jackson is the lone back on 3rd down. There is no way to know.

I'm likely being overly complimentary, but I was impressed by how he (and Colledge/Sitton) made something out of what appeared to be nothing.

Scott Wells was the true blocking champion of this play, at least from the Oline, once colledge got out running he didn't get any contact. I guess you could give him credit for getting in the way of defenders though.

So was Colledge supposed to abandon Jackson and run halfway across the field to find a guy to block?

He was perfect on that play, even though he didn't need to block anyone. He helped make amends for the holding penalty that he committed a play or two earlier.

As for Jackson, he's been doing this for four years now, and it is a very valuable role. Nonstop makes an interesting point, though: Maybe Starks could play that role next year. If he can, then Jackson might become expendable. But I would prefer to have all three of them.

We should trade Grant now. Starks is obviously our back of the future. Grant is getting older and he's injury prone. Pawn him off on someone else while he still has some value.

Don't think we can get anything for that old broken down nag. Maybe we can trade him to MN for a Brett Favre bobble head.

Or at least a chartreuse font color.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

Yes, I think I overreacted a bit there. Sorry about that.

I thought he was great on that play too. I did NOT think he was gonna get even close to the endzone. He grabbed onto the shirt of one of his blockers, and when the time was right, made his move. He's done that ALOT in his time here. yes, he's not a great runner, but he IS valuable, if you ask me.

I thought so too Cheesey. At first I thought he would get a couple of yards then he slowed down and ducked in behind his wall of blockers and they made something out of nothing. good job guys.

A 3rrd down back doesn't have to be "pass only". I think it was Tony Fisher who was a pretty good receiver out of the backfield but got some pretty good yards when they went to 4 WR and spread the defense then ran him up the middle.

beast (49m) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (7h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (7h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (8h) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (15h) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
