Now we have Bennett, Rodgers and Milwaukee native Lance Kendricks as Tight Ends.
Lance Kendricks played for the Wisconsin Badgers and was drafted by Rams in 2011. He's a capable blocker who surely must be thrilled to be signed by the Packers.

TT is out of control!
LIGHTING STRIKES
I do like Kendricks and feel he's a step up from the Plodder who continues to be a sorry draft pick for the 3rd round..
This is nice insurance. Would be funny if TT did opposite of what we think. All offense in FA. Signs Land and Lacy.
And leaves all defense for the draft.
nice addition
unexpected
still not fixing the broken part of the team
he peaked my interest when i heard he was available, but i figured the door was closed with the bunnett signing
he's a talented guy who was on a very shitty team, could give us a great TE group
he was making 4.5 for the rams, we pry gave him 4-4.5 a year
Perhaps not but might be fixing still existing problem on offense.
More TEs means more running and play action, more space in middle of field for the most common type of McCarthy short passing game (that isn't a screen pass).
Might be fixing the problem with man under coverage on offense.
see, i was just thinking the opposite
do we now completely ditch the run game and go with the all out pass attack?
we got a legit catching TE's and dick rod didn't do too bad last year monty at RB who is really a WR, jordy, adams, cobb (if we now don't cut him to fix the defense), geronimo, and davis
a-rod might now have more weapons then any packer QB ever
i think TT needs to adjust the playbook some now to get the TE's more involved
Both Kendricks and Bennett are decent or better as blockers.
Tough day for Dick Rod.
They plan to try Bennett and Kendricks out as running backs to compete with Montgomery
It's a great pick up. Too bad having two great blocking TE's will be wasted in a stubby run offense.
How about some 12 personnel? With those two tight ends being both pass catchers and blockers, the D wouldn't necessarily know which one (or both) is staying in to block and which one is going out on a route.
These guys help diversify the offense for sure. If the Packers can make the run game a consistent threat, that will help the defense by moving the chains and winning time of possession.

Well, Richard Rodgers, nice guy as he really does seem to be, was just not a good pick by TT. His best asset is his hands, but he's the classic Wist nightmare: soft n' slow. Can't block for shit, can't run for shit. Goes down like a goddamn sack of potatoes when a 175 lb cornerback hits him.
