Gone are the days of the RB who averages 30 - 35 touches a game.
The Packers are going to need both these guys, plus a Brandon Jackson( or BJ type).

Ryan Grant stays healthy, he will be the starter, contrary to the views of some, RG is a tough one cut, grind it out type of guy who has averaged 1200+ yds when healthy.

James Starks is going to be a star, but he does need to improve his blocking skills, also teams will have a little film on him after last years playoff run, so he will not be surprising anyone.

Not a bad thing to have more than one option at starting RB.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

I've played several games with James Starks in Madden and he never got caught from behind!!!

Okay, seriously, I know what you're saying, but I wonder how many times he's broken one and he was caught from behind? I don't recall any, not saying there wasn't, just haven't seen any. I could see how he'd be caught from behind because I think he kind of runs bow-legged... if that makes sense. It's almost like he's stomping down hard, rather than being fleet of foot.

Seriously???

A - 1 for my first post?

I really don't give a cr*p about the #s (as evidence by my - 1 ing myself in the "Packers take time to help sick kids" thread), but I do try and figure out which posts have generated negative feedback so I can improve next time, but this one has me stumped.

If whoever -1'd me was just messing around, that's fine, but if you really had an issue with the post I'd truly appreciate knowing why, and maybe I can avoid repeating it next time.

He probably used up most of his -1s available from the other thread...

It would be kinda nice if you could see who was de-slapnutting you on a post...

beast (1h) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

Mucky Tundra (6h) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (6h) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (7h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (7h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (7h) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

dfosterf (11h) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : watch it!! lol

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : you're right, we never did leave, the site just went down :P

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Rock claims to have never eaten a cheese curd

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : We did not leave.

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin
