Benson - Out Eight Weeks

[Freak Out]

Green will be the man....the Benson Era in GB is officially over. The Stark Plug will get some time but Green is going to step it up baby! JH will be a very proud Papa.

Green can be the man. He will no longer be on the Taxi squad, so he will get real practice snaps. Run between the tackles, read those blocks, pass pro, and catch out of the backfield. He can do it!

[Cheesehead Craig]

So, they lost a back averaging 3.5 yards per carry. Shouldn't be hard to find a replacement.

Or, they can quit running so much, and just throw the ball.

Screw 'em Patler. I thought this was funny as hell.

I think its a matter of a different game plan offensively ( I know captain obvious) we could see Cobb back there more.

For every man there comes that special moment when he is physically tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing - unique to him and fitted to his talents.
What a tragedy if that moment finds him unprepared or unqualified for the work which would be his finest hour.

Anyone bring up Ryan Grants name yet?

[Joemailman]

Time for Green to prove whether or not he deserved to be a third round pick.

[Freak Out]

According to 494 he was signed by the Skins.

Didn't Robert Ferguson have that injury? Or am I misremembering?

And never played again for the Packers. Though he caught on elsewhere I believe.

Whammy.

[Joemailman]

According to 494 he was signed by the Skins.

Grant averaged 5.0 YPC Sunday. Of course, it was only 1 carry.

[King Friday]

Reggie Bush would've been a nice pickup for the Packers...he's the perfect RB for our non-running offensive attack.

[sharpe1027]

I think he has a chance. He showed change of direction that I haven't seen out of a GB RB in a long time.

He is faster than Benson, but ran too much parallel to the LOS for my taste. Not as bad a parallel Darrell, but enough to make me worry about his ability to see the cutback lanes.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Green is good in the open field. No instincts in traffic. He is a third down back.

[Pugger]

And never played again for the Packers. Though he caught on elsewhere I believe.

Whammy.

Didn't Ferguson go to MN?

Didn't Ferguson go to MN?

just for a cup of coffee

I think Cobb is incredibly talented and is able to do those things. I just worry about the little guy taking hits. He seems small on the field when being engulfed by linebackers and safeties. So I don't think you can feed him so much that he has a target on his back every time he steps on the field.
