You do need to be able to run. Once we were one dimensional, Atlanta pinned back the ears and had Rodgers scrambling for his life.
I think I've posted once or twice (or 100x) my preference for a TE who can actually..you know...block someone in the run game otherwise you have a glorified fat WR.
I know its just my pipe dream going on 5 years now, but I still am dreaming of taking advantage of the skill set we have on this team and going with no true RB, but having Monte or Cobb on the field with a Joe Mixon (yea, I went there, but he fits the role) mixed in. If the D doesn't honor the run, use those new TEs to crush it, wear them down and force them to honor it, then when they do, split the "RB" out wide with the TE inline, but upright and throw it.
Ellington would have fit that role, McCaffrey probably does, but Eddie certainly did not.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Not only suffice but better - give Montgomery or Michael or whatever speed back the same blocking that it takes to get a plodder like Lacy yardage, and the speed guy will get you a lot more yards. Miss blocks or get pushed back, and most everybody this side of Jim Brown will lose yardage.
And how long has it been since the turf was so frozen that it really affected things? I mean Ice Bowl bad.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Neither is TT. He still thinks you can have a quality defense in this era of football using ILB's with pedestrian speed.
Who cares if McGinn changes with the times, he's just a journalist. He has no impact on what the team does. Unlike the GM.
Packers defense needs an injection of speed. Hopefully this draft will put some salve on that weeping sore.
I dunno. Joe Thomas is on the roster and its not because he is a Guard destroyer. Same with Signing Chillar a long time ago.
Its not the point of emphasis that QB, CB or Tackle is.
But say if Shazier and Ha-Ha were available at the Packers pick that year, you don't think he at least considers Shazier?

LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
