T.J. Duckett

[HarveyWallbangers]

I wouldn't give up the draft pick Atlanta is looking for (3rd round pick) to get a serviceable backup. I'd rather keep the pick and hope to hit on an eventual solid starter in the draft next year. I wouldn't give up higher than a 6th round pick for him. Maybe a 5th, but that won't be enough.

I'd rather use a 3rd round pick to try to get Lelie than Duckett. Duckett is someone who would've fit our old running philosophy much better.

My position today is one of relegation to accept what we have.

After hearing Brett Favre I am impressed with his confidence, though it seems guarded - yet realistic.

We received great news on Ahman Green yesterday and we can hope that he shows us that he is indeed recovered from a serious leg injury. Otherwise, we now have concerns about Samkon Gado ( reported out for some time yesterday) and will Najeh Davenport answer the call after his injury history?

We have also been concerned with Gado's hesitation and difficulty grasping the ZBS. He works very hard - he is very intelligent and dedicated. I trust he'll be fine, given what he showed us in 2005.

I see Noah Herron making OUR team, and William Henderson coming on very soon. Age may be a factor there but he compensates well, as a reliable pass option out of the backfield, and his blocking will improve. He's in solid shape for his age, and he plays this season because of those plus's.

On Offense I'll go with Brett Favre . The OL. Inexperienced and not yet at a solid NFL caliber, but maybe they'll jell sooner than we expect.

Favre said it:

They (the OL) have to get there.

Also - as Favre said. . .

Mike McCarthy and the OC and Offensive Coach's have to feature an offense that is based on the RUN - not passing the ball. That second option, would be folly.

Plus's:

Ahman Green's athletic ability and experience, along with his heart, determination and leadership.

Brett Favre's leadership and attitude appears solid. He's definitely on board for this season.

These are OUR men on Offense, and they will assist the inexperienced Coach's on OUR team to help prepare the OL - I trust. Then we have the experience and skills of Donald Driver and Bubba Franks and William Henderson, who's taken Sankon Gado under his wing, and will instill confidence in him.

We have hope and we have talent as well, and we wait for the rest to fall in place.

There isn't alot of sense, as it is now , to go out and bring in another RB, when we have capable players already at that position who full well understand the challenges with the Green Bay Packers. It's going to be one game at a time, and we hope to see growth and muturity on OUR Offense.

One game at a time. Put the BEST out there and fight like hell. Never give up this season on both sides of the ball.Will it be easy?

No ! We only can do OUR best, and that will be OK for me.

GO PACKERS! HOLD FAITH FOR 2006 and BEYOND !!

My Lord, Woodbuck, did you major in Drama?

There is no way in hell that TT is going to give up a third round pick for a running back who has seemingly failed in the same zone we are running. I'm not saying he wouldn't be an able backup, and to be honest, I think there is a chance he'd do a better job than Davenport, I just don't like Najeh, but it seems like he is Najeh's clone. Bad vision, big guy that runs pretty good downhill, but won't be breaking any speed laws. But if TT gave up his third round pick, he might later realize what he's done and hang himself with a jock strap in the showers.

The point here is simple really, regardless of what you think of TJ Duckett as a player or person... Ain't going to happen.

TT isn't going to part with one of his precious draft picks to acquire a player. That's not his MO. He would rather have his 'nads hit 10 times with a ball-peen hammer than part with a pick. Any pick.

Hell, if he was apt to trade for a vet to provide relief, wouldn't he have done it early last year when the receiving corp included Andre Thurman, Jamil Jones & Taco Wallace? And this year with green as grass rookies, two of whom are playing a new position for the first time and struggling...perhaps trade for a vet guard to lend stability? Not going to happen. Certainly TJ Duckett's not going to happen.

Don't you mean a ball-peepee hammer?


Sometimes I should just read and leave it at that!
