Starting Running Back

[Willard]

Alex Van Frickin Pelt is such a gifted RB coach that his players are attending QB meetings to learn the offense? Perhaps a sign of another little problem with the development of our running game?

Benson has a lot to learn in a short amount of time. I don't see this as a reflection on the coaching.

It usually takes at least a year for a RB to pick up all the subtleties of blitz pickup and protection. Brandon Jackson took a lot of time to become good. He started off decidedly mediocre. I have nothing to judge Van Pelt on, but Benson might just be trying to shorten the learning period. Jackson eventually became so good at it he and Rodgers would make the same gestures in the backfield together.

Awesome.

It's possible that Stark's turf toe is going to linger for a month. Gosh, I'd hate to be wrong so early in the season.

This poll is looking like a tallest midget contest.

Don't worry. We'll all have a chance to be wrong later in the season.

Benson will start providing MM is confident in this blitz pickups.

Starks otherwise, if he's healthy.

Still intrigued by the kids, Green and Saine, but not sold, yet.

Crabtree is a lunchpail guy you keep on your team..Solid ST and like Lurker reminded us, dude has an edge to him that we don't see until the flags fly.

Crabtree is the only TE who has not missed a practice.

Voted Benson and I actually expect good things from him; remember those run, run then pass three and outs (especially during second halves)?? We might have some 3rd and 5 scenarios to look forward to! Wuhuu!!

How about getting three yards when it's third and two? Yeah, baby!

Look at that ragtag bunch to choose as a starting RB. Dreadful.

Will any of them even be standing Vs San Fran? Bringing in C. Benson was simply a logical move. I hope he can start because not much else has worked the past couple of years and not that it even has to giving A Rod's play.

Your posts are like 80% really insightful, 15% fucking around with Packer fan and 5%, I wonder what the hell you're thinking.

You taken a look at our interior line lately? I probably completely missed the sarcasm, but seriously, TT has drafted 3 of the top 12 paid guards in the league at the moment. Two of them play (and are paid well) for our team. The other one, while we couldn't stand him, is being paid in Arizona for a very experienced OL coach (Wisenhunt -spelling sucks.) We might not like him, at all, but apparently he has some value in the NFL.

TT got lucky with all those picks - Lang and Sitton (and College for that matter) fell right into his lap.

JustinHarrell - same with Newhouse and Bulaga.

What, are you black now????

Guess we can shut this poll down. Can you imagine, the very first game Benson plays after rudely being showed the door, and he lights up his old team. Nice.

Do you think the PAckers can keep all five guys in this poll?

The popular pick now is that Starks will get cut, forget being the starter. I think if Green wasn't a high draft pick, he would get the axe. But I am basing that on his limited game showings. Maybe he shows true talent in practice.
