I like the signing, I said that when it happened,even if Ahmad doesn't see the field that much, he can give Ryan Grant some great veteran knowledge.

My other thought is that Ted Thompson realizes a good portion of The Packer Nation is not happy with the way the season has started, and is hoping Green flashes some of that magic he had in his prime and that will quiet a few for at least a little while.

If anything Green is a workout fanatic, he and Hawk can be in the weight room working out 24/7 since neither of them at this point, are seeing much playng time!!! :icon_smile: :icon_smile: :icon_smile:

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

The fumbling decreased, and he didn't have any in Houston.

You know that if he does fumble even once, there is going to be talk on all of the radio stations about the black sleeves vs. the white sleeves vs. no sleeves. :lol:

Exactly. If i recall correctly, he played better with the white sleeve :)

He only carries the ball in his left hand. I think he blamed it on those elbow pad things, when he was sweating or something. He did cost us a game or two that year we went 4-12, iirc.
Statistically, he fumbled almost exactly as often as Jim Taylor. Basically, it just seems like he fumbled alot.

If we were signing Ahman as our feature back, you'd have a point. We are using him as a 3rd RB. I don't see that as being desperate at all. Injuries can force these types of moves too.

I would think that in 5 years of drafting by Ted, we wouldn't have to be digging through the scrap heaps for players.

"MassPackersFan" wrote:

Requirements to fill out the roster mid-season due to injuries are a completely separate issue.

"yooperfan" wrote:

Oh really, explain that to me please.
Why do we have a taxi squad (practice squad to you youngsters)?

Are the guys that Ted drafted that are on there not good enough to play ( Lumpkin for example)?

"wils0646" wrote:

Lumpy wasn't drafted was he? They signed Green because he can catch the ball and run screens. He is also a proven pass protector.

I can think of one game, the Chiefs game that could be put onto Ahman's fumbling.

And as for him having a problem with fumbling, it was predominately in the first half of the season. Which makes sense, because the fumbles are attributed to his intense perspiration problem. The rubber sleeves were useless because sweat on rubber is slick. The white ones soaked the sweat up a bit.

Sleeves or no sleeves. Or if he wears sleeves, will he go with rubber or the white w/ green stripe? lol

snip from Jason Wilde on Ahman Green on the podcast from ESPN Milwaukee...

Jackson or Wynn being used on kick offs instead of Tramon Williams..He plays over half of plays on defense, and is important there, they feel he is more important for the defense than being on special teams....

Sounds like they want to use Wynn or Jackson on kick offs..This way bringing in Green, would help the back up Rb situation..Not sure on Wynns injury..

Brett Swain has been mentioned for kick offs..Not sure if the team likes his body type for kick offs..

looks like that was true

beast (2h) : Oh yes, sometimes they make using a cellphone tough. I just wanted to make sure it was the correct article, & thank you for pointing it out.

jdlax (3h) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight

dfosterf (8h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (8h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.

beast (8h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (13h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (14h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (14h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

Zero2Cool (14h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh

Zero2Cool (15h) : That is fair by me.

buckeyepackfan (16h) : Kenny Clark is the player, 2 1st rnd picks

Zero2Cool (16h) : umm... what?

buckeyepackfan (16h) : MICAH IS COMING TO GREEN BAY!!!!!!!!!

wpr (23h) : Me do-ed it gooderly,

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : 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 (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 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 (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 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 (27-Aug) : 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 (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 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 (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
