    [QUOTE=Smidgeon;900769]Trying to figure out if the name reference in that rant was intended to be meta.

    But probably not.]

    A little of that, but more like doxing. Which is strange little scumbags who root around on the net trying to bother people who don't want to be bothered. Like Tank.

    He does a little reveal in the post. He spent THREE years trying to scope out who Nutz is? Nutz is cool. Nutz is real. He's a real cool guy and doesn't want to be bugged by a dillweed like Tank.

    One of the big reasons this place got started was some goof doxed Harlan on JSO big time. We soon went over to PR to get out of JSO.

    Now it's a lot easier than that. We just get rid of the dox artist.

    Which would be Tank.

    He was banned, now is the time to enforce it before he causes even more shit to rain down.
    Have to agree with you on this KY.

    To me Davis is a younger version of Starks. Good move to basically get a guy 5 years younger to do the same thing.

    Based on what, just size?

    Starks was a beast in college when we drafted him averaging like 7ypc.

    This guy is a nothing that had 2 hundred yard games

    Well, I'll be. TT doesn't sign Don Jackson and actually trades with Dorsey for an established player. I always thought that Davis had potential. The year they gacked the playoff game to Indy after getting a big lead, I thought Davis looked good as a fill in. Hopefully he can find some magic. You read conflicting reports about his pass catching ability out of the backfield. He looks the part. Hopefully he can deliver the goods. You never know with Lacy's bum ankle or Starks being out 4 weeks. Davis will certainly get a good opportunity. I'm rooting for him for sure.

    The talking heads on ESPN and NFL network say Lacy will be a longshot to play Thursday.

    Davis isn't overly impressive. I agree with the sentiment that he's a younger Starks. He doesn't have the talent to be a capable #1 RB in the NFL.

    He's probably fine to use as a stopgap this season, since we don't have many other choices...but the Packers need to do some serious work at the skill positions this offseason.

    This guy sounds like shit. This is suppose to be one of the easier spots to fill. And we trade for a 3ypa fumbler

    hey, at least wait till Thursday night to say he looks like shit. Get your hopes up a little now, it will make the bitter pleasure all that much greater.

    I say the guy has some NFL experience, made a roster - he's already gotta be an upgrade over a PS guy or Jukin James.

    Actually, he only made the roster so KC wouldn't have to release him. The plan was to put him on the roster anticipating that a sucker would show up to trade for him. At least that's the story I heard.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    At this point in the season I can't believe there is a lot to choose from.

    It should have never gotten to this point. Just another TT fuck up.

    Let me see, the GM is at fault because both RBs get injured and need surgery. Probably true, because we don't have a first round draft pick sitting on the bench and two 3rd rounders that every other team wanted on the practice squad. Also the GMs fault that our top 3 CBs are unavailable because of injury and we don't have a couple of first rounders on the practice squad that we can call up for this very eventuality. Probably should have a Tony Romo type on the bench waiting to play if AR has accuracy issues against Atlanta. The GM also forgot to get that 2nd fast TE during the offseason in case Cook hurts his ankle. Pretty sure that the GM should have picked up 2 all pro WRs so that we could have 9 WRs on the roster in case Abby gets hurt or Davis and Janis don't progress.

    Yes, why wasn't Ted clairvoyant enough to see all of these injuries last summer?

    Yeah except it was known Starks was missing a few weeks, and that Lacy was banged up before the Dallas game. And no moves were made to supplement the roster. So we attempted to play a game with a one legged tailback and two of our 4 best receivers at running back. Lacy is ran into the ground and requires surgery after the game. Of course that is a huge fuckup by TT/MM. No way to sugarcoat that. Your other points are mostly debateable. Obviously not about having 9 receivers on the roster, but our production from TE s , 2nd string running back, and our 5-7 receivers has been pathetic this season even when healthy. Largely what TT has created.

    Hey, maybe a sucker will show up for Starks!

    KC thought he was worth a roster spot.
    TT thought he was better than any PS guy around the league.

    Lets give him a chance. In two days we can hang TT in effigy the fist time the guy gets tackled behind line of scrimmage.

    The guy has good straight ahead speed for a big guy. The knock against him is he's not very shifty in close quarters. And he doesn't break a lot of tackles despite his size. He has returned kickoffs.
