I watched that video, George. I don't get it.
Josh Jacobs - let's hope he can carry the load!
A nice article about Jacobs in the Athletic today.

I like the underdog mentality. I've been a Jacobs fan all along. I miss Jones, but I understand it was time.
It's been a strange offseason/preseason. Packers sign two top free agents in Jacobs and McKinney and what most people are talking about is the kicker and backup quarterback.
Jacobs probably is a lateral move quality-wise and hopefully a major long term plus.
The way I see it, this Packer team had very very few if any weaknesses, mediocre kicking being about the only one, and there's a strong chance they fixed that big time. Back up QB is irrelevant UNLESS ....... We should be better there too, but probably not enough to deal with that UNLESS. I'm thinking the main difference Willis makes is a few trick plays and wildcat stuff.
I liked the part just before that quote, regarding the Chiefs pursuing him in free agency:Quote:

Hear that, Aaron Jones? :) You really do look wrong in purple!!
Maybe we won't see Jacobs on the Vikings, Bears or Lions as we have so many others.
I was really, really bummed that the Packers didn't retain Aaron Jones. He's a great guy and a dynamic back.
But I'm warming to the new guy.
Both would have been incredible. Jacobs is a 1/2 ton pickup and Jones is a sports car....ah the possibilities.Quote:
