Why is this a surprise? It's been telegraphed for over a week. Green can't go full speed right now and until he does and runs better than Benson, it's his gig to lose.

Starks currently unowned in my 12 team, 20 roster spots PPR league. It's gotten that bad, apparently.

Actually, if you look up the stats, the Packers do run - they are about the middle of the NFL in the Pass/Run split

knock knock - hello? Packers depth chart shows Green as the #1 rb. And he was the one that started the game. Which doesn't mean that much, but clearly the Packers see Green as their RB of the future. I would see Benson getting most plays early, then Green getting more (as the season moves on), in particular since he can catch a pass.

The Packers ranked 26 in Rushing attempts last year but if you took away Rogers' 60 rush attempts they wouldve ranked 32 in rush attempts last year...
Rogers lead the lead by a wide margin in Checking-Out of Run calls at the line.. He audibles out of a ton of run calls...

What do we know about Green that makes you think he'll succeed?
Other than his name isn't James Starks...
------------
Wouldn't be surprised if Starks were waived/injured.
And Isaac Redman is this year's 2011 version of James Starks.
Have a good day.

I dunno that much guys. Ive read that some, can do a tape-job for turf-toe for starters.
Coach has said, dont read much into depth chart!
Its possible Jene may post in the future about risk's for Alex (if needed)
heres a link on turf-toe http://www.footeducation.com/turf-toe Ive seen tweets mentioning no limping noticed (leads one to believe Starks is doing better?) Coach says things are movin slow!
whoever plays in the first game, may be tested (SF D aint no joke)
btw for potentail points (add RG & JS total from last Season together) Im not implyin no split, just postin two cents

“James Starks, just talking to the medical staff, is coming along slow," coach Mike McCarthy said after practice Tuesday. "So we’ll just continue to treat him. He hasn’t made a whole of progress here of late.”
Starks has been out since the Packers' exhibition opener at San Diego on Aug. 9. Judging by McCarthy's latest update, there's a good chance the third-year back will not be ready for the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers -- possibly longer.

Yes...the depth chart that is shown as "unofficial" lists him there.And yes, he started that game...as Benson had been practicing all of a few days at that point with the team.I do agree that Benson will likely get the most plays early and Green could get more as the season goes on...but obviously that depends on Green being more effective than he has been so far.If Benson is rolling...it simply won't happen.
