Ryan Grant Placed On IR· Page 9

I don't think this ends our season at all. I really like B-jax he just needs an opportunity he is a solid RB and should be able to carry the load. The only concern is he is somewhat injury prone himself. Provided he stays healthy himself we will be fine IMHO. I actually think RB is the easiest position on the field to replace.

RB is completely dependent on the line to block well. If they open up holes any RB can run through them. What does Ryan Grant do that is so irreplaceable? I don't ever see him make many people miss, he takes exactly what the line gets him. It's not like we are losing a Chris Johnson type player.

I like the Jets' RB/WR Danny Woodhead... he's on their 53 man roster so probably have to trade a late round pick but the kid has good speed and hits holes with out dancing too much like Jackson does at times...

I think he will stay healthy,I watched his locker room interview and he said he didn't take better care of himself and didn't do the little things in 2007,08,maybe 09.This year he got stronger according to him and does the little things to stay upright.But of course it football injures can happen but its good to see him committing to things like this.

I love Clay, but he's slower'n mud - he'll be a FB in the NFL. White's just a freshman, but he looks like a good one.

Take a look at the RBs at Virginia Tech. Ryan Williams is a sophomore this year, and he is one of the best backs in the country.

Just got home from work and got the bad news. That injury looked bad to me when it happened, like maybe even 6-8 weeks, but a whole season? What a drag. He was such a perfect RB for this offense. Not hugely talented, but just a really nice fit wit his running style.

Jackson is almost as good as Grant, but there's a huge void behind him now. It's lucky that Jackson has had such a good off season. He picked a good time to step up his game. If he stays healthy, which is a big if, he should put up the same kind of numbers as Grant did.

Zero mentioned screen passes. The Packers ran a couple of really nice screens in the preseason. I would love to see them run a couple of those per game.

What I like best about Brandon Jackson is how he fights for yardage at the end of a carry. He picked up a first down that way late in the game against the Eagles.

I was sure this was going to be season ending when I saw him hobble off on Sunday.

When Mike said it was a "Significant Injury" that made me all the more convinced he was done. It is a shame.

dfosterf (5h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (11h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (11h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (11h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

Zero2Cool (11h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh

Zero2Cool (13h) : That is fair by me.

buckeyepackfan (13h) : Kenny Clark is the player, 2 1st rnd picks

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

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
