Have to agree with you on this KY.

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.
To me Davis is a younger version of Starks. Good move to basically get a guy 5 years younger to do the same thing.
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.
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.
Seemed kind of gimpy but were they trotting him out with an extremely fucked up ankle or did he make it worse?

They made it worse. I said during the game I feared that would happen.
By the way, sources tell me that they'll soon sign Don Jackson off the PS.

As others reported earlier, #Packers sent #Chiefs a 2018 conditional 7th-round pick for Knile Davis, per #NFL's official transaction wire.
Getting him that cheap is definitely a good move. I like the idea of a speed back. Basically, Davis has the time Starks is out to show he is a better player. I think he is and will prove it on the field.
One year my fantasy backs were decimated. Jamal Charles was one of 'em and I drafted his back-up. Then I cut the back-up (he was hurt)
and drafted Davis. He immediately had a big game & I had him on the bench. When I played him he was good for about 3 pts. Back to the bench and he puts up a 20 spot. But I watched him some. He has some skills. He's short, very strong, fast, and muscular. He's kinda like Doug Martin, maybe he's the muscle gopher or something. he pretty good at rainbow routes and has decent hands. Running outside? He has real problems getting to the outside. He starts slowly and those fill guys catch him a good bit of the time and stone him. If he can spring wide, he creates problems for the D. He's faster than backers and is a load for any DB to tackle. I disagree with the "not shifty inside" deal. he has quick feet and can jab step one way and hit a gap going like a crazy man
Pass pro? He has issues. He's strong like a bull and can nail the shit out of an inside blitz from an ILB. When blitz pick-up is needed on an outside man like a Ware or Peppers style dude? He's usually physically outgunned. Those tall, long armed buggers just guzzle him. He needs some help, like keep Rodgers in to chip the long tall boys and let Davis pick up the ILB's or circle him out of the backfield. He knows the job and is good at making adjustments.
he didn't fumble much when I had him, maybe that was a later development.
There can be some upside to this kid, lets hope we get more than our fair share.
I like the optimism, KY. We ought to get this settled pre-emptively: IS DAVIS ELIGIBLE FOR THE FUCKDOGGLE???
He is going to be Samkon Gado 2.0.
Does anyone know what became of the Packer's interest in Jhurell Pressley? They must like Don Jackson as much or more than him. Strange, they liked him well enough to sign him to the 53-man right after the Vikings cut him, but as soon as they needed the roster spot, they cut Pressley. That part is understandable for a young guy. What doesn't make sense is when they got short-handed, why didn't they once again show interest? Perhaps in the limited sample-size they had of him, the determined that Jackson was just as promising, but I don't know if they would have signed Jackson like they did Pressley, which is the curious part.
Where is Zac Crockett?
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.

I wonder who they are targeting to bring back later. Hopefully, either Shields or Lacy will be back. I haven't heard anything about Linsley. He should be getting off the PUP list soon.
Linsley is practicing.
ray rice:whist:
:doh:
what about brandon burks?
he led the team in carries in preseason and is available
never mind (I made a ray lewis joke. )
hard to keep the murderers and wife beaters straight.
Montgomery was a high school running back, converted to WR in college.
During the draft some said his NFL future was a running back
MM was dabbling with him in the backfield last year.
Why do so many talk about this as a gimmick now?
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.
