Josh Jacobs, rushing game give Packers something to rely on
 

According to ESPN Research, Jacobs has averaged 80.6 yards per game between the tackles this season, which ranks second in the NFL behind only Saquon Barkley. No Packers player has averaged that many yards between the tackles since ESPN began tracking rush direction in 2006.

"You know that No. 8 out there?" LaFleur said referring to Jacobs by his number. "Did you see how many people he made miss? It was pretty impressive."






It's always a gamble moving on from a beloved player and teammate like Aaron Jones but Josh Jacobs is answering the call so far this season.

I don't think the offense changes much, nor improves much. And this is coming from a huge Aaron Jones fan. I am just of the mindset that Wilson and Brooks do pretty damn good as RB2 role.

If we have to get rid of someone we signed (which we don't, but if you want me to name someone) then don't re-sign AJ Dillon.

I think Jacobs and Jones would do a much better job of keeping each other fresh.

I feel like one of the problems on offense this year is that we have a volume RB and a volume QB who both get better the more they get the ball. Both need touches to get going and they've slowly been getting better at knowing who to lean on and at what time.

Jones worked well with Love because he didn't need a large volume of carries to be effective. You can bottle up Jones on four straight carries and he would rip off a 50 yard run on the 5th carry.

If we had all 3, I feel either we would be doing the same song and dance about Jones' touches ("MLF forgot about Jones again!") or Jacobs wouldn't get enough carries to be effective ("Why did we pay this guy?!")
