I really would like to see Tretter back as well. So that probably means he won't be.

After reading that description somewhere in the JSO about how fat Eddie Lacy is now, I am glad Montgomery is becoming a full-time running back. Sign ol' Eddie to a one-year deal with (weight) incentives, and pair them up. As ripped as Montgomery is, you could call them "Muscle & Fat."

A designated RB yes. But there is no way he can handle being a 3 down back. Well in Stubby's O he maybe could, as the most he will have to run in any game would be 10 times.
I think the Packers could be better off looking in the draft for back to complement Monty. Lacy has had his moments with the Packers but both sides should move on unless a favorable deal would be in the works, but even then the Packers would look to secure the position by drafting another back.
Personally I would look to draft a back in the mid rounds depending on how the draft shakes out. I like DOnta Foreman from Texas. He is a big back over 240 pounds, he doesn't have very good top end speed on films, but he hits top gear within the first 5 yards of the LOS. He has good vision, in fact he reminds me a lot of Eddie Lacy. Hopefully he keeps his diet in check.
Also Samaje Perine from Oklahoma is also a bigger back (235) that has a better top end speed than Foreman, he is a very strong runner looking to deliver a blow to tacklers. He has some fancy balance and changes levels well, although he runs high at times.
I saw more of Perine and agree he'd be a nice mid round back to get.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
Lacy's production was nearly ideal for what the Packers needed: someone who can get you the third-and-one strictly based on power, yet has enough burst to get those all-important seven or eight yard gains, too. But if they can get that from someone else, okay by me. Still, I'd rather see them re-sign Lacy for a year, which affords them the luxury of drafting a guy down into the middle rounds who can develop.

it all depends on how big he's gotten
if he's pushing 300 then his career might be over
sounds like he has a lot of weight to lose in a small amount of time before anyone signs him. and he doesn't have a lot of time to do it
if he can get back to that 240 range, then bring him back. but if he's just as big as he started this year at, he's probably just gonna get hurt again, or wear down

Lacy did show he could come to camp and produce after an offseason of conditioning. He was averaging over 5 yards a carry last fall before he screwed up that ankle of his.
Worried about the up and down pattern. He clearly can train and be disciplined, but on his own he obviously eats/trains in a way to put on bad weight.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
I don't much like Perine - or that whole type of RB. The success of Montgomery more than Lacy ought to demonstrate that we need somebody with a quick start and better cutting ability. From that perspective, Perine is not even the top pro prospect on his team. That would be Mixon, who I would very much like to see the Packers get.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Does it really matter who they get? Stubby won't run the ball anyway, especially if they get someone that is good.
He runs early, and sticks with it if he has success. Its when we fail a few times he decides throwing 40 passes is ideal.
I would see monty in a sproles type role. Throw him some dumps, some designed screens. Before MM will do that though he needs to become 100% on his blitz pick up. He was the worst we have had at that in a long time (because he had been playing WR and hadn't worked on recognition....I hope).
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
put on IR today and they activated wr michael clark. cool.
can Michael Clark run the ball?

can't do anything on practice squad. i'm guessing some team was sniffing around clark so they decided to do this.
3 years in and Monty really hasn't done much. Dang, I thought he'd be a good player for us.
Monty apparently aggravated a wrist injury and it was not the ribs that knocked him off roster.

Interesting that Montgomery is on IR with wrist. Was on Week 4 injury report with it before the ribs.

Shocker that Ty is on IR. I'm pretty sure someone said he would miss a lot of playing time this year. He's just fragile.
