Gado/Lundy In For Week 7 (1 Viewer)

[packersfan]

For those who may be interested:

(on running back situation for this weekend) “Our plan is, right now, to play Samkon (Gado) and Wali (Lundy). Our big question is if we suit three then Ronnie (Dayne) will still be available to play. With some of the things that have been going on with our team on game day, with eight offensive linemen being suited up we’ve been playing games with two running backs as you all have noticed. We might have to do that again because we’ve got some other issues we’ve got to handle.”

(on reasoning behind choosing Gado and Lundy as opposed to Lundy and Dayne) “Well…I could sit here and tell you that Ronnie bruised his knee last week, which he did, but in all honesty is we’re going to keep searching and keep looking. You can’t look when you’re playing three guys and Samkon, we’ve come out of games and we have not ran the ball well and he’s had, I think I want to say four or five touches last week. I’ve got to play him, I’ve got to see what he can do and Wali deserves an opportunity to come out and play. So we’re going to keep searching for those guys and give them a chance and somebody’s going to step up and do it and take it and run with it. In fairness to them you’ve got to put them on the field so we you can see. So I’m going to find out.”

I'd go with Gado, given that they traded for him and they've been wanting to give him at least 15 carries but have yet to do so. He was huge last season filling in for Ahman Green in GB, so you know he can succeed at least for a few games at a time in the NFL. Reading between the lines, it seems to me like they want to start Gado and give Lundy some playing time as well. It would be weird for them to keep saying they want to give Gado at least 15 carries and then have Lundy jump in front of him from 3rd string inactive before they even give Gado more than a few touches in a game.
