The only way Ty Montgomery is going to become a three-down back for the Green Bay Packers is if he can pass protect. That's what the team is focusing on.

Remember Brandon Jackson? 2nd round pick, iirc and his specialty was pass pro. This is what Ty has to work on, and more importantly, what Jamal Williams needs to work on. Because Williams is gonna be the bell cow.

I was reading this article a little while ago, really like the idea of bringing in Brandon Jackson to help mentor the young guys. At 31 I think he's probably a little easier for the rookies to relate to and as you said pass protection was his specialty.

Also although I like all 3 of the RBs Green Bay drafted and am excited to see who steps up, this is Ty Montgomery's backfield this year. Assuming he stays healthy he's going to get more plays/carries than all 3 rookies combined.

Pass protection was/is the primary reason that John Kuhn was replaced with Aaron Ripkowski . GB has used a FB to pass block for years . Kuhn was also known to occasionally rip off a good run as Ripkowski also does .
Training the RBs to pass block is a good thing also. It adds versatility to to the offense on 1st and 2nd Downs. It could weigh into the mix of who makes the roster and who gets cut . RBs usually have good power in their legs, so upper body strength for holding on to the football and for effective pass blocking may see the RBs building up that part of their body's in the weight room . I will be looking to here reports on who has excelled in the off season weight training program .

ALL RB's need to be able to pass protect. It keeps the defense honest.
Otherwise, if you only bring in certain guys, it tips your hand on what you are going to do.
Like, "Ty is in, they are going to run, not pass".

Always thought with Ty they would be better off having him for a dump off rather than blocking. Ty with the ball in space against a LBer. We should win that battle most of the time.

On a little swing pass to the flat as a check down/blitz breaker, we should have good success with Ty one on one with a LBer in the flat.

TheKanataThrilla (45m) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (50m) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (1h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (4h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (4h) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (4h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (4h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (5h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (5h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (5h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (6h) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (8h) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (9h) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (9h) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (9h) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (15h) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (15h) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (21h) : *Orzech*

dfosterf (21h) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension

Zero2Cool (22h) : Packers signed someone for three year deal

Zero2Cool (22h) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know

wpr (22h) : YES!!!!!!

Mucky Tundra (22h) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!

Zero2Cool (23h) : @JJLahey · 2m Holy crap, Packers, where the heck is the list?

Zero2Cool (23h) : haha folks on Tweeter every year this time ... 'where is list Packers!!" hahaha

wpr (23h) : He played pretty good.

Zero2Cool (23h) : NAZIR STACKHOUSE HAS MADE THE 53

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NOOOOO KALEN IS GONE

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Kalen King and Kamal Hadden making it. me thinks

schroeder84 (26-Aug) : @dfosterf I suspect Elgersma WILL be hard to hide. Raw, but talented

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : pp.com is broken, halt testing, gotta go do work things for a bit

hardrocker950 (26-Aug) : Mecole Hardman was released, to the surprise of few

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : It's older technology, resource hog, cannot be upgraded/changed. That's to start.

packerfanoutwest (25-Aug) : Ok, but what is wrong with this site?

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : check out packerpeople.com

Mucky Tundra (25-Aug) : Oh crap I missed that! I thought it was a 2026 pick

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : It wasn't even next year pick, it's two years away. old dog food value

Mucky Tundra (25-Aug) : Yep! Everytime a team trades with Howie that team is the loser (so says the media)
