Tell me again how the Packers have faith in Ty Montgomery.

I hope that Monty never gets hurt, has an awesome season and that all the new backs are studs. If you are TT, have you done enough for the position at this point? I think if he stands pat at the position, he is taking a bit of a risk. Don't get me wrong, they all look good and bring different things to the table, but they are all rookies and as of right now and they are the backups. Is that enough?

Runningback is one position where rookies can contribute right away. Williams might not be the most dynamic prospect out there, but he seems pretty solid overall. I wouldn't be surprised if he's playing as much or More than Monty by the end of the year. Packers have had recent success with rookie runningbacks (Lacy, Starks in the playoffs, Brandon Jackson). If it appears at the end of training camp that the rookies aren't ready, there will be veterans available to be picked up.

The most critical thing Packers RB's have to learn to be able to contribute is blitz pick-up. If they can do that, they have a shot at playing. Otherwise the Packers will be limited to Monty and Rip for passing plays, and it will be harder to disguise what play they are planning to run.
