He didn't return after his long run. Did he get hurt?

no, i think they kept trying to force jackson in there, and he got stuffed behind the line every time

Man, he is a good runner though. I'm becoming more and more sold. Fast, and powerful, and that stiff arm he had is what opened up the field!

No, but he's still recovering from his hammy injury. I'm sure the coaches just told him he was done for security reasons. All Jackson did was run down the clock anyway, so no real importance to Grant being in there.

Stats?

Stats?

Grant had 92 yards on 12 carries.

I would say trying to get a first down to ice the game is fairly important!

Not worth the chance of injury. Better to give it to the defense to win, especially this early in the season.

I've said it consistently: the difference between Grant and Jackson is HUGE. Grant is right there with Adrian Peterson in quality, while Jackson doesn't even come up to ordinary.

I generally agree with you, Tex, except Grant is a notch below Peterson.

Packers have no depth at QB or RB.

That's why Grant is starting and Jackson is not. People have to remember that they are keeping Grant's carries to a minimum until he's fully healed. He only had 12 carries tonight. Jackson is going to see plenty of PT until Grant is 100%.

This doesn't even make sense.

Disagree. QB true. I'm not so sure about RB, although I'm respecting you more and more (and I always respected you). You could be right on like you are many times.

absolutely

i couldn't believe all the folks that said during the offseason that we could plug anyone in and they would be as good as grant. they said it was the o-line getting better.

for me i saw grant as a much much much better runner then anyone else we had or have

he is very important to this team
