Packers Gado takes snaps at FB (1 Viewer)

Not open for further replies.
Davenport was also taking snaps at fullback a few weeks ago...he still started the past couple of pre-season games at tailback, and looked extremely unimpressive.

 
GNB uses their fullback as a receiver quite often, yes?

It's probably a case of trying to get the best 11 guys they can on the field on offense. Given Najeh's injury history, it's not totally inconceivable that Gado will still be taking HB snaps at some point during the season. Even if he doesn't, Gado and Najeh in the backfield should give GNB some matchup options.

 
So is Najeh the starting tailback?

I know he hasn't looked great in the preseason this year, but before his unfortunate broken bone last year, guy was halfway through his first start and had over 50 yards rushing and 2 TDs. Potentially enormous upside there.

 
Given the always healthy nature of Green and Davenport, I do not think Gado owners should not worry too much.

Why do people talk about this guy like he will ever do anything?He has had a chance to shine the last three years (I think?) and EVERYtime he gets hurt within a game or so of playing. I dont see why anyone would expect difference. Poop makes Suggs look like an iron man.
 
I would think this signals that the team expects Green to be able to contribute at tailback.
That's clearly what they want to happen. Whether Green can stay healthy is another question. With regard to Davenport, I haven't been very impressed with him in the first two pre-season games. He's been given a huge chance and didn't show much IMO. Green is expected to play next Monday night against the Bengals so we'll see if Davenport looks better when he gets a shot. I wouldn't rule Gado out just yet. As was posted before, Davenport has also practiced at fullback and he's obviously a major durability risk. Gado could still get a shot here at some point assuming he can stay healthy and show something in the remainder of camp and pre-season.I still think the Packers' RB situation is a mess and I don't believe anything has happened yet to clarify things.

I wouldn't be surprised if Davenport wasn't on the team when the team breaks camp. He will either be cut or traded. :yes:

I could see him getting traded. I doubt the Packers would get anything more than a 5th for him but I'd take that and move on.

Agreed. They've been showcasing him for 2 weeks now and he hasn't shown much. I could definitely see them cutting him too.

I definitely got the "showcase" vibe here too. Gado's not helping himself by getting hurt but Davenport hasn't done anything IMO to show he's clearly the superior RB right now. So I wouldn't rule Gado out of anything -- downgrade him if you're not comfortable or had him a little higher but I'd still keep him slightly ahead of Davenport. The Packers' RB plan has been clear for months. Green is the starter. That has never been in dispute. The questions are whether Green can get healthy and subsequently stay healthy. My personal feeling is that while the former looks possible the latter is unlikely.
 
I think I might have to disagree.

I think the Packers have learned they need to keep a stable of RBs.

But if push came to shove between Najeh and Herron, I would guess I woud go with Herron. But I would want both at this point.

Don't discount Beech either. Word I'm hearing is that they were VERY impressed with this kid.

What's the info on Beach? I haven't heard anything on this guy...
 
So Gado won't be the starting RB??? That's a shocker!

It's only been known for a few months now that he hasn't been the most impressive and needed quite a bit of work. The Gado faithful here just didn't want to believe it.

 
Gado is just taking snaps at FB because Henderson is Questionable for week 1.

Don't read into this too much. Leach isn't a good reciever out of the backfield, so they may use Gado or Heron as a FB in those situations.

Not much to downgrade Gado for. If anything it boosts his value. Imagine a Green/Gado backfield. Who's going to get the ball!? Better he gets on the field as a FB than sit the bench as a HB... He'll still see carries as a HB

 
well, this did not take long:

Packers | Davenport injured at practice Tuesday

Published Tue Aug 22 11:30:00 p.m. ET 2006

(KFFL) Cliff Christl, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports Green Bay Packers RB Najeh Davenport (hip) pulled up on a running play and left practice Tuesday evening, Aug. 22, with a hip injury.

Davenport getting hurt is a certain like death and taxes.

Samkon Gado-RB-Packers Aug. 24 - 8:56 am et

Samkon Gado won't be used at fullback again.

Green Bay experimented with the move after the injury to William Henderson, but Gado isn't a natural blocker. Staying at running back full-time, where Gado is currently behind Ahman Green, helps his fantasy value. The Packers will try some of their tight ends at fullback now.

Source: Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Story here: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=487345

If you don't feel like reading the whole thing, basically it sounds like GB lost Henderson for a few weeks, Gado said he'd try it out, he did so for one practice, and the coaches said thanks but no thanks.

Gado is still valuable backing up Green especially with Davenport getting hurt.

 
I'm curious about how a purported move to fullback signals fantasy death when a team has so many question marks at RB. The ultimate decisions will be based on need when injuries arise or when the starters falter. For example, Denver once moved M. Anderson to fullback, but when the need arose, they moved him to starting RB last year - we know the rest. Gado's situation revolves around the future injuries of those ahead of him, not his present place on the depth chart. The real question is whether he has to talent to put up the numbers again when Green and Davenport can't play.

 
Semej may have been the one to start this thread, but a LOT of people have been giving their opinion that Davenport would be the #2 behind Green and talking Gado down big time.

There's a quite a bit of crow pie to go around.

Davenport got cut. So now is Gado still taking snaps at FB?? Who's gonna take most of the carries for GB?

The Gado/FB experiment ended after one week, and he's the backup to Green. If Green goes down (which would seem likely at some point), Gado will be the guy.

Try reading the entire thread. Then look at the post you've just quoted. Notice it talks about who is Green's #2?

(KFFL) The Wisconsin State Journal reports Green Bay Packers RB Samkon Gado, who rushed for a team-high 582 yards and six touchdowns last season, will be the backup to starting RB Ahman Green. RB Noah Herron, also in his second season, is the third running back.

Hard to let this one die when you made a pretty black and white conclusion that was premature, when you concluded that Gado was out of the picture as the #2RB. It's the fact that your conclusion was so sure that prompted me to bump the thread, to see to what extent you would acklowedge your error. There is nothing wrong with being wrong on these boards. Sometimes the Staff themselves are pretty wrong about some things. I would like to see more people around here man up an admit their mistakes rather than make these face saving remarks. Again, there is nothing wrong with being wrong about something. I have respect for people on these boards who can admit their mistakes.
 
Henderson is out for at least 2 weeks. What happens if Vonta Leach gets hurt in a game situation? I think McCarthey was just Covering his A when he had Gado take some snaps at FB. Check to see if Gado can be an emergency FB, and if he doesnt look capable, try someone else.

Taking snaps at FB does not a position switch mean - Yoda.

Once again you can't ignore me and you are well known for "doing that cutsie little fixing thingy". :rolleyes: I didn't get owned. The point is that Gado may be the backup now but that doesn't mean that Herron can't take over as the backup. For those that follow the Packers it is well known that Gado has struggled with the new blocking scheme AND hasn't looked good in exhibition games. So if Green does go down at some point it isn't a lock that Gado will be in position to be #2. Some of you guys are pathetic. :rolleyes:

How? Show me where it states the Gado has a lock on the backup spot to Green for the entire season?He doesn't. Gado has not looked good this preseason and you can't ignore the fact that Herron can take over as the backup as well considering how Gado has struggled with the new blocking scheme. :rolleyes:

The best way for you to enhance your reputation on the board would be to refrain from posting. You're starting to sound like the 35-year-old ######ed kid in the neighborhood, the one with the backwards baseball hat and 2 days of stubble on his face, zooming down the sidewalk with training wheels yelling at the other kids.
