Sharing: Are Grant & Starks really about the same?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Has anyone seen a highlight of the block Starks was reported to have missed yesterday? I don't remember it.

Where was it reported that he missed a block yesterday?

[Harlan Huckleby]

No, but I can think of 2 occasions last week when he missed.

There was the debatable play where Starks stuck with play action. And the second play was ...... I didn't see anything. Nothing mentioned by analysts.


Starks is the victim of a smear campaign by disgruntled Grant loyalists. I want Pugger placed on a lie detector machine.

I thought pugger was confirming what CaptainD said he posted previously.

Its apparently a one man newswire agency about Starks blown pass blocking assignments.

I made my decision on how I'll decide who I like better.

If a Starks fumble happens first, I'm a Grant fan. I love Grant's ball security and feel its a severely underrated aspect of his game.

If Starks catches a ball more than 10 yards down the field first, I'm a Starks fan. I love a versatile weapon.

CaptainD was repeating what pugger posted concerning a memory he had after reading a CaptainD post

The Game Day thread and I are behind this sound reasoning 100%.

But I thought Pugger was a she? Or do I have him confused with someone else?

I say hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
I say hey mama, take a walk on the wild side

And the colored girls go, "Doo dee dooo, dooo dooo dee dooo dooo"

Yes, I'm a she. I remember a couple of times against NO when Starks whiffed on a blitzer and Rodgers got nailed. But I don't know if it really matters who the starter is here. Both guys bring good stuff to the table and they can spell each other and keep each other fresh.

[pbmax]

This is just a manifestation of being a fan. Too much depth to name a starter? Bad.

Too little depth to replace Collins? Bad.

The right amount of depth is a tricky thing.

Bob McGinn:

Starks has entrenched himself as the shotgun-spread formation back. Because of it, he more than doubled the snap count of Ryan Grant (36-17) for the second week in a row. Starks didn't have any obvious poor plays in protection, and he seems to have a better feel when to leak out as a last-ditch receiver. For such a young player, Starks is exhibiting more patience. He is developing cutback eyes as he presses the line. As one of the two or three tallest backs in the league, Starks is able to see over things that the now-prototypical shorter backs cannot. He showed burst cutting to daylight when his blockers washed down the back side. On screens, he is letting things come to him. There's nothing wrong with Grant. He's running hard and generally getting what's blocked. Now he needs to start making the safety miss.

Pugger is the girl and LEWCA (with the pretty flower avatar) is the guy. They are both pretty good posters and tend to maintain gender neutrality. As do I in real life.
