How much do we miss Kuhn right now?

[Brandon494]

After watching Ty miss chip block after chip block last week how much do we miss him in the certain situation we're in. I know he's pretty old now but wish we kept him over Rip looking back at it now if for nothing but for his pass protection.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I remember lots of games where Kuhn got few snaps, much like RIP. Of course I remember nothing, but you get the theory.

Didn't Kuhn mostly play in 4th quarter, or am I making that up too?

[pbmax]

If that is the concern, stick Ripkowski out there. He was fine last year blocking.

Or put Williams out there.

[ND72]

ZERO. He was a very average player. If you could yell KUUUUUUHHHHHHNNNN, he wouldn't have been noticed.

[Brandon494]

Guess people forget his block on Peppers that set up the game winning TD to Cobb on 4th down to send us into the playoffs. As for Rip I don't trust him running the ball at all, wish we could bring in a more complete FB. Maybe that's the question I should have asked.

He was actually a very underrated blocker.

I remember. I remember Jeff Thomasen scoring a TD once too.

Packers can't survive with Ripkowski. He always fumbles in NFC Championship games. Always.

Can Kuhn play T?

[3irty1]

Kuhn did become a good pass blocker for us, probably better than anything we have now. Brandon Jackson was even better than Kuhn. I'd still rather ride out some lumps with Ty though. The only way to make a viable RB out of him is to have him on the field for 3rd down. In our first week he had some excellent blitz pickups. Count on the Standford guy to learn.

NO ! Kuhn was a solid Pass Blocker.

I am surprised that there is any question and his ability and value to the Packers and his Blocking skills.

Who?

No shit. Guy has 1 bad play in a season and he's the worst thing ever.

Ripkowski in 2016
Regular Season
34 carries
150 yards
2 TD
0 Fumbles

9 catches on 10 targets
46 yards
1 TD
0 Fumbles

Playoffs

1 TD
1 Fumble

4 catches on 5 targets
39 yards
0 TD

John Kuhn was a horrible ball carrier. If you needed 1 yard he would get 1 yard. If you needed 2 yards he would get 1 yard. That fucking fullback dive was an absolute waste of a down every time for years. There didn't appear to be any drop off in blitz pickup when Rip came in, plus I can't outrun Rip. I am almost positive I could outrun Kuhn. He looked slow getting into place for a screen. Guy has been living off his friendship with Rodgers and that fucking chant for 6 years. Good riddance.

Put Rip in to block if needed.

Kuhn just went to IR: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/09/28/saints-place-john-kuhn-on-ir-to-activate-willie-snead/

He'd fit right in!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Bring back Quinn Johnson, that guy is the full package.

[run pMc]

Not unless you mean the Kuhn from about 5 seasons ago. Can't imagine he's got much in the tank.
Ripkowski can do pass pro, the other backs will learn it too.

[pbmax]

I miss Korey Hall.

[run pMc]

I'm guessing a lot of us miss William Henderson.

[texaspackerbacker]

Answer: We don't miss Kuhn one bit. Ripkowski is very decent and can do more things than Kuhn. Also, with the very limited use of the fullback in general and the ability of TEs to play there if needed, we barely need a FB at all.

[Fritz]

If only Torrance Marshall had been given more time to convert from linebacker to fullback.

At least, that's what his girlfriend said.

[red]

though call

kuhn was good for about 1ypc, but could block

i think rip can do that, we just gotta let him play, which means finally giving up on the run game

[smuggler]

I have actually been very frustrated with the lack of Ripkowski to start the season. He's not explosive but he's good at everything and I don't see how he's not worthy of snaps in our offense.
