Am I the only one that thought Rodgers and his new 70's porn-star look, played a pretty good game? His poise was really good and so was his timing.BigSteelThrill said:

For a layover on his way to Canada?

Just brutal. That last drive was pure incompetence. I'm not sure he could even start for the Chiefs.

Come on now. You and I could start for the Chiefs.

Well the good news is that it doesn't seem like he will be out for the year. When he'll play seems to be the big question. The Packers are tight on players with all the injuries. If its 2 weeks he probably stays. If its 4 or 5 weeks with a 7th week bye they could PUP him to save the space. We should know soon.
He was out there in the 4th quarter, but I don't think he got a single target.

Why are MJD owners so sensitive? He looked terrible tonight, so be it. It's preseason!!Okay, MJD looked good on his FIRST short yardage run. And he looked pretty darn good all last year too. Geez some of you guys are d!ckholes.

I think "he sucks" is the concise phrase for Jackson.
No he didn't look goodI didn't think Sharon looked very good either. Sharon though was part of Leftwich's crew of WRs and I thought Leftwich was horrible. I would give Sharon a mulligan there but NFL coaches never do that. It's all about making the most of opportunities to them. IIRC each WR has had a start now except for Broussard. I don't believe Sharon or Mike Walker did well with their start. That's probably something to remember.If they went on just preseason, I figure, they would start Wilford and Northcutt with Broussard as the top backup. As you know they don't just do that. In practice, from reading, it's obvious Wilford and Northcutt have been two of the better WRs there as well. IMO it seems they started preseason as the faves to start and have solidified that. I imagine Del Rio would prefer to be analyzing production and not lack of to evaluate starters but I think it's a stretch for anyone to think another player is starting week 1 besides those two.Sorry to go off on tangents but most lead right back to those twDiamond said:
ne sidenote-I bet JDR loved Reggie going back over the middle after that hit. As bad as the press has been on Reggie, I think he earned some points with JDR last night. I don't think many NFL WRs would have with such tenacity and Del Rio "eats up" all that tough guy shtick.

He sure sucked scoring that touchdown...switz said:

The line didn't create great gaping holes, that's for sure.But that was the first I'd seen of Jackson, and he looked awfully slow in getting to/through the holes when they were there...
Like he was taking an extra split-second to decide where he was going...just long enough for the hole to slam shut.

My thinking all along has been if healthy, Morency will be the starter at the beginning of the season at least.I still think Morency ends up getting the majority of the carries for the year.

i think last year's performance by Morency and the 2nd round drafting of Jackson shows what the Packers intend for Vernand.
he's a change of pace guy. a nice backup option. not an every down guy.
he has superior quickness and probably elusiveness but he hasn't proven that he can start. he didn't in Houston and most probably won't here. if they thought Morency was the guy they wouldn't have grabbed Jackson in rd 2.

I think that's right. In fact his timing was off everywhere from what little you can see on TV. Stepping up too early to block, releasing with the wrong timing on screens and then pausing just a split second too long when picking his holes.

Jackson has not proven he could start either.And I hate the old "if they thought X was the guy they would not have grabbed X in round 2".
How much does round 2 mean next year?
So should we say the same thing about Jennings. If they thought he was the guy, they would not have drafted Jones....and so on.
That is how teams end up with no depth. While they like Morency, Jackson was drafted to try to eventually be the guy...but for this year, I don't think he will be.
Morency showed last year he could handle the offense and handle it well.
mr. furley
Footballguy
no doubt he's thinking too much and is a split second late or early on some of his decisions but that's to be expected. i think the staff might be forcing a lot down his throat early because he's the #1 right now and needs to be ready for Sept 9. expect a rocky go of it early, particularly against the Vikings, Chargers and Bears.

difference of opinion. i think Morency is an injury waiting to happen if you feed him the ball and he couldn't start in Houston ahead of Lundy, Davis or Dayne. difference between RBs and WRs is, you start 1 running back and you have one primary backup. with WR's you start 2 (some teams 3) and you need backups at each spot. drafting a WR in the 3rd rd doesn't mean you're trying to displace the starter.. particularly when you have no depth there.though i suppose the same could be said of drafting Jackson with the "depth" they had at RB.
we'll see how it plays out. i just hope they both stay healthy, the line play picks up and they can be a viable weapon.

Actually LT spent a few years putting up excellent stats behind a line that couldn't open holes. You weren't seriously trying to compare Jackson to LT though, were you?
Jackson looked AWFUL last night, even if he DID get a TD.

Its definitely all opinion. I just like what I did see out of Morency last year.And Jackson has not exactly been a picture of perfect health his college career.difference of opinion. i think Morency is an injury waiting to happen if you feed him the ball and he couldn't start in Houston ahead of Lundy, Davis or Dayne. difference between RBs and WRs is, you start 1 running back and you have one primary backup. with WR's you start 2 (some teams 3) and you need backups at each spot. drafting a WR in the 3rd rd doesn't mean you're trying to displace the starter.. particularly when you have no depth there.

The line play definitely needs to pick up. That effort last night was pathetic.

Umm...no, not trying to compare him to LT at all...just using the analogy to describe how I felt about how poorly the line run blocked last night.Jackson looked ok in the pass game. Missed the one blitz pick up, and did about all he could do running the ball.Looked ok on the TD run, as they announcers noticed, he got his pads low and went on in.Actually LT spent a few years putting up excellent stats behind a line that couldn't open holes. You weren't seriously trying to compare Jackson to LT though, were you?

this is my chief concern as well.but as a friend of mine said "Wells is always going to struggle against the really, really bigtackles, and Jax has two of the best." that, Spitz being out w/ Coston in there and Colledge not really being a great drive run-blocker yet makes for a rough go against a team like Jax.

Yeah...will have the same concerns when we play Minny.

RBBC. That's what I see. Morency will be the third down guy and receiving back and Jackson will play first and second and goal line.

Right now Herron is actually the 3rd down guy.

Right now Morency is out

yupand Jamaal (sp?) Williams in San Diego as well.

Umm...yes, and I have yet to see a single credible source or quote from a coach whereas Morency becomes the 3rd down back.Herron did fine in that role last year (while Morency was getting the start with Green out).So take yourswitz said:Right now Morency is outsho nuff said:

He got stopped on a couple of short yardage plays.
