Jordy was one of the best, if not the best run blocking WR's on the team, i sure hope his absence doesn't result in more running! =)

More than anything i think this will result in more opportunities for Finley(using finley instead of that 4th WR), which may be a blessing.

I agree with earthquake. It'll mean more balls to Finley, and I now think it won't effect the running game.

+1 Great point. We all saw a little bit of what he can do against the Queens. I would love to see a singleback formation (since Grant is not exactly great at following his blocker) with Lee, Finley, Driver, and Jennings. We could do a lot out of that but we lose the extra help of a blocking back. So maybe that drawback is too major to do that formation, just saying we would have some great talent on the field.

I'd love to see that too. I think it would give us a lot of flexibility from a playcalling perspective. Especially with Finley since he can play like a slot receiver or block on the edge (just ask Ogunleye about that). It creates a real mismatch. Not only that but we can run draw or a play action out of them because depending on what we do with the tight ends, the run or the pass seem just as likely. Fuck, we could even max protect and maybe buy Rodgers a whole 4 seconds!

That said, I think both Jones and Finley will see increased production in Jordy's absence and it will be good for both of them: Jones with respect to getting back on track and Finley with respect to his continued growth.

Finley and Lee are capable receivers, so Jordy's loss hurts more on special teams than it does as a receiver.

I dont know about Lee being considered a "capable reciever" after that drop on 4th and 1 in the MN game.. haha but I am excited to see what Finley can do.

Put it in his hands, good things happen. He is quietly one of our best playmakers. This kid is impressive, to me.

I've always liked Jones, but he's been disappointing this season up until the Lions game. We should see a lot more of him now.

I agree with Rockmolder that the Packers should not run the ball any more than they have been. Our average RB is not good enough to overcome the crappy blocking of our OL, but our well-above-average QB and receivers are good enough to overcome it at least some of the time.

Any player on the field needs to be relyed on for success. Jones will get more opportunities now for sure. Make his routes, and stick the catch and he can play his part.
