Must sign Jackson off PS.
So they did not promote Jackson. Its Eddie and a lot of one back Monty/Cobb. Bet its more Monty than Cobb.
Have to say I'm surprised at this. Lacy could not finish last game because of the ankle, and they're going into this game without a backup? Cobb/Montgomery in the backfield are a gimmick, and you certainly don't want them doing a blitz pickup. Could Ripkowski carry the load for a half or more?
Demovsky says Starks may be out "several" weeks. We gonna go that long without a real RB backing up Lacy?
Vince Lombardi is turning over in his grave. 7 WRs and 1 RB with a bum ankle.
They can still make roster moves on Sunday.
We might see a RB added and someone released before the game.
Play action is going to be a real threat this week.
Fuck the run. Throw the rock 60 times a game. The Great Arm of Butte needs the reps to regain his long lost mojo.
Montgomery flashed one good run from the backfield against the Cowboys. I wouldn't be surprised if TT and Stubby have decided to turn Monty into their regular 3rd down RB. It kinda makes sense when you think about it. Monty is kind of a fifth wheel in the receiver corps that has probably one too many positions on the roster (although now if Cobb is hurt that could change).
Anyways, we know Monty can run routes and catch. So why not convert him and save a roster spot? The big questions are: Can Monty cut the mustard as an NFL RB? And if this is the intent of the organization, isn't it kind of a bad time to be experimenting with him? You would think it should have happened in the preseason. Strange.
tt needs his ass kicked for this inexcusable decision to go with one back today...an injured one at that.
Packers trade for kc's Knile Davis!
never heard of him.
This article says it all: http://kckingdom.com/2016/09/21/kans...r-knile-davis/
3.3 ypc and lots of fumbles... awesome. hope we gave up nothing more than a 7th
And then there's this:
And this:Quote:
Heading into Thursday night's division tilt versus the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field, Packers fans shouldn't expect a lot from Davis, who has averaged just 3.3 yards per carry for his career. He's got open field speed, but isn't shifty in tight spaces and mediocre in the passing game. Still, Davis is better than not having a running back at all and can help on special teams.
Davis is 5'10", 227 lbs., 25 years oldQuote:

Strengths
Big-bodied north-south runner. Has a thick lower-body build and runs with enough forward lean to run through arm tackles. Agile enough to spin off tackles inside and hurdle would-be tacklers in the open field. Can use the strength he builds in the weight room to be a physical pass protector, aware enough to hit multiple targets. Provides some receiving skills as a check-down option over the middle and handling good throws in the flat.
Weaknesses
Has a long injury history, missing time or playing hurt in every season of his college career, in addition to the final two years of his of his high school career. Runs a bit top-heavy, gets tripped up easily in space, especially before he gets his head of steam. Inconsistent taking on tacklers at the second level, will try to run around them instead of using his strength. Inconsistent protecting his quarterback, resorts to (and misses) cut blocks. Lack of hip flexibility hurts his ability to adjust to poor throws as a receiver. Was unable to display adequete foot quickness in his final season.
