At his current YPG he should hit that sometime in 2012.
Favre must be next .... oh wait, now that is a joke on the Packers
Oh my....
Classy
Do you have to remind me? Anyway what happened to that endless stable of RBs Jackson, Lumpkin, Wynn, (thinking I am missing one or two)...any of whom were to push Grant out of a job as soon as they got a few carries.He and Tauscher in back-to-back weeks. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
At least Thompson didn't get suckered into paying Ahman Green like the Texans did!
He might be good as an RB2.
Custodians at St. Norbert College ix-nayed that one...didn't want to run the risk of having to clean any more poop out of any more closets during Training Camp in 2010.
You think Sarah Jessica Parker could get more yards than Green?"
Buffalo thought their starting 5 would be competitive this year too, I don't know that their OL evaluation is much better. Meredith couldn't even get through summer practices in GB.
This has nothing to do with Grant or Jackson. If they sign Green, it will be because D. Wynn is out for the year, a decision which will reportedly be made tomorrow. I would guess Lumpkin is a better running back, but Green may still have an edge in protection.
It doesn't necessarily have to due with Grant or Jackson, but when you have one of the worst backfields in the NFL signing someone isn't surprising, that was my only point.Watching Ryan Grant is painful as a fan, and if BJ hasn't been given a shot he must be even worse which is scary.
ummm ... of course, not even close. that and she wouldn't fumble.You think Sarah Jessica Parker could get more yards than Green?"
Doesn't he have a 4-game suspension hanging over his head? That could scare off a lot of teams.
I doubt whether they want Green in terms of his running ability. But he is an experienced and excellent pass blocker, and given the problems that the Packers have had keeping Rodgers upright, he might be just the ticket.
They also got a back who can catch a screen pass.
He's not going to be replacing Grant (I assume), except maybe in passing situations where Grant is well below average. The Packers needed a 3rd down guy.
Grant isn't bad at catching, but how often do they even run designed screens these days?
There were two nice screens to Grant against the Vikings that went for about 15 yards each, and he even broke a tackle (very rare) on one of them. There was also at least one check-down play where he gained about 20 yards. Last weekend he dropped at least one easy catch that was a screen pass or a short check-down, and I recall one screen play where it looked like he had some room but he slammed into the defender and went down easy.I do not agree that Grant is a bad RB or is among the worst starters in the league as some say, but he is not much better than average. As one Packer beat writer recently said (paraphrasing), Grant consistently gets the yards that are there for the taking, but rarely gets anything more.I know that McCarthy has often abandoned the run in the past, but I haven't seen it this season. Against the Rams he ran more than he passed, and I believe Grant had 100% of the carries in that game. Last week they rammed him into 8 man fronts all game long and used him effectively at the end to run the clock. As noted, Rodgers audibled out of at least 6 runs to take advantage of the soft corners.
paging OtisYou think Sarah Jessica Parker could get more yards than Green?"
Dorsey Levin was average, but more than good enough when there was a O line blocking.
Levens was a much, much better receiver than Grant.smackdaddies said:
