Green Bay Packers @packers 1h1 hour ago

McCarthy on @813Geronimo: No surprise on Geronimo. You could see it coming in preseason. Taking the leap, plays with a lot of confidence.

McCarthy on @AaronRodgers12: He was tremendous today. Had a lot to deal with, lot of adjustments going on. #CINvsGB

McCarthy: Excellent win. We knew this was going to be a tough one. Very good win for us today. #CINvsGB

A huge OT win !

A tough TNF game Vs Da Bears up next.

Man, I dunno. I realize the O-Line is down a couple of starters, but Ty Montgomery just doesn't look like an NFL running back. To my eye there is a lack of cut back and/or outside burst of speed and swerve.

I applaud his willingness to accept his reassignment in the offense, but I haven't seen any flash, gash or dash over the first three games.

+1 He just seems slow to hit the hole and very little after contact yards. Disappointing.

I hoped that TT would bring in LaGarrette Blount. I watched some of the Giants @ Eagles game today and Blount does some nice things.

He didn't have a lot of room to run today and was tackled often before he could turn up-field. But he still stinks at blocking back there. Until our tackles return I hope MM puts Rip in there instead on obvious passing downs before Rodgers gets killed.

Yeah, I agree with your assessment. On a couple plays, one in particular, he missed a gaping hole and turned a run of a yard. He's far from an instinctive runner and leaves some plays on the field for us.

there isn't a hole big enough to stick your - finger - in out there.

Monty's problems: - no TOP in the first half, team got down and 'had' to pass, and the O-line bites right now.
Honestly, the Cincy defenders were just sprinting to Rodgers. No one was even thinking run at all, and when the Packers tried, the defenders were disrupting everything. That was a clusterfavre out there.

He runs like Bell. He scrapes the line looking for a lane. It just so happens that this OL isn't providing a lane. He isn't your typical guy who puts his head down for 4 yards. It has strengths and weaknesses. For my money he is right there with any back we have had in the last decade. Get our OL back in tact and I think you will all change your opinion.

I have stated for eternity that the OL makes the back not vice versa with about 2 exceptions in the entire league at any moment. It always amazes me that great OLs are blessed with 3-4 good RBs on a team at a time, but McCray, Patrick and Pancky are stuck with a stiff like Monty. Think how good they would look if we had Tony Fischer and Najeh Davenport back there@!!@!

Stubby is high on Geronimo.
