Anyone notice Poppinga constantly being in the backfield with pressure? I think he is drinking some of Matthews muscle milk. He also had a nice pass breakup

He did lok good when I noticed him. He was on his way to sacking Seneca Wallace but got held by the RT a little on the second Browns TD. (See 1:10 in this clip)-

I find it funny how little some of you know about football....

Ryan Grant fumbles one time in the first preseason game after not fumbling once last season running the ball and now you guys want a rookie to start over him. ::roll:

Look at the basics. The Packers had 2 QB's and a slappy and the Browns had 4 QB's. The Browns are better built for preseason.

Harrell is a learning project that will play more than a 1/3 of the preseason snaps.

Over half of a preseason game does not translate to the regular season.

There's a difference between football knowledge and over reacting.

Also, speaking on football knowledge, Grant fumbled once last year and it was lost. Therefore, your comment is incorrect. Is that irony?


All being a dick aside, we don't expect Ryan to be the sexy runner, breaking off a 50 plus yarder every game, or taking a screen pass 80 yards, or running through three potential blockers.... we don't expect that. We do expect him to hold onto the ball, as he's proven very stout at doing and get 4 or 5 fives a carry.

The fumble he had against the Browns, was not his fault. It was an excellent hit on the ball. Sure, he could have protected a little better, but its not as if Grant was careless and that's why the ball was knocked out.


Brandon, hopefully you'll post more, but without the attempts at insulting the members are not scared to share their thoughts. :)

I said he did not have one fumble last season running the ball. His fumble can on a reception against the Bengals. Maybe you should stop being so sensative. I wasnt trying to insult them, I just find it funny how they think a rookie would do better than Grant.

Jennings had that awesome td, I'm a little skeptical of Grant's condition though, I hope he can manage to recuperate!

Like Foster said, Twinkie overreacts a little or just totally hates Grant. We have a couple of members like that. Tromadz comes to mind. Some people just don't like Grant's style. He doesn't fumble, but he doesn't do anything spectacular either. He's like the VW of running backs. Solid, dependable, but not flashy.

I'm a huge Quinn Porter fan and I liked what I saw in this game when he got the chance to actually carry or catch the ball, but I'm not calling for him to start over Grant. Or Jackson for that matter. I would love for him to make the team as the 3rd string RB. Which might result in 2nd string, as Jackson has a tendency to get hurt sooner or later.

Lastly, if there's one position where a rookie could take over for a veteran, it's at the RB position. Just look at all these guys coming into the league the last few years. There's not that much of an adjustment period as there is with WR, DT, DE etc. Steve Slaton, Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Knowshon Moreno, LDT etc. Even Ryan Grant was as close to a rookie as you can get without actually being one. Most were high draft picks, but they did make more of an impact than most players on other positions.

I'm not expecting Quinn Porter to take over the starting spot, but if he actually gets a chance, he could very well be our Tashard Choice this year.

Your right, I should have said I find it funny that some think Lumpkin or Porter would be better starters than Grant because RBs can def. make a impact their rookie season.

1. Twinkie just likes to bitch. His comments are not necessarily reflective of how he actually feels.

Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (20h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (23h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (23h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
