Grant is close. I'm okay with him carrying a big workload. (Few backs can carry it 30+ times every game, so I doubt that continues.) I like the way they use Jackson. He's good in space. His hands are getting better. Until he shows that he won't dance behind the line of scrimmage, he should be used like they are using him. I'm good with a 25/5 split on carries. However, I'd like to see them throw to Grant and run with Jackson once in awhile. They are getting close to being predictable.

I'd rather the carry go to Lumpy than Jackson. He's more explosive in hitting the hole. I am very satisfied with the way Jackson has been playing on third down.

Isn't he out for the year?

Of course he is, but that won't stop partial from making dumbass posts.

C'mon, partial....extol the virtues of money morency.

Jackson has avg over 5 ypc when called on and he should be getting about 5-6 carries a game at least. I think he's more explosive to the hole than Harv gives him credit for.

Miniscule sample size--since he only has 20 carries and he got the most carries against the Lions. Take away the Lions game, and he's averaged 3.3 yards/carry on his other 13 carries. He averaged 3.6 yards/carry last year. I like how they are using him--although I'd like to see him bumped up to 5 carries/game. That's only a couple more carries/game. Stats aside, I don't see that he's improved at running the ball that much in his limited carries. I think it's easier for a guy to start seeing the holes better (especially one that showed he could do it last year) than a guy changing his running style to being a one-cut runner. Again, I was big on Jackson's bandwagon coming out of college, but he is what he is. A good change of pace, third down RB right now. Hopefully, he starts running more decisively.

My point is that Jackson has done a good job when in there and should get more carries. Hell, I choose to throw out the MN game. That gives Jackson a 7.07 ypc. Same argument but now how good do the numbers look Harv? I don't see the stutter stepping you do, I see more explosiveness from him.

You're proving my point. It's 20 carries--many on third down in passing situations. Those are easier to gain yards on.

Nope, just throwing out games that improve my argument, just like you are.

Dumbass post because I don't live and breath the Packers enough to know a third string back is out? I actually... ahh.. have a life guy.

Partial, you seem like a good guy, so nothing personal, but don't you have like the second or third most posts here?

Also, I'd guess 50% of the posters here know Lumpkin is out for the year. I guess there's a lot of us that don't have a life then.

Then, perhaps you shouldn't comment. Better to remain silent and thought a fool, then to open your mouth and confirm it.

Life: Really? Yet, you have 12K posts.

How is Money Morency doing? Can't believe all those teams have passed on signing him...despite your scouting report.
