Packers v Cardinals Discussion Thread

Didn't I read that Shields also tweaked his knee in addition to his shin? I don't remember the ankle being mentioned after the game.

Until Nov. 2, JSO was referring to Shields' injury as shin/knee. By the 3rd (actually by 3:00 PM on the 2nd to judge by comments), it was reported as an ankle. Did he practice and get hurt again or was this a correction?

L. Tomilinson likes Starks a lot.

Expect good stuff from Starks including becoming the starter.

No Zombo. Nelson seems to be playing.

#Packers inactives: Zombo, Worthy, Perry, Shields, Jennings, Woodson, Kuhn. All injured guys except Zombo, activated off PUP yesterday.

I heard that Nelson was starting but I could have swore they mentioned Zombo was as well.

I think its the line too and this runs counter to the quasi-professional opinion of Eric Baranczyk writing with Christl. Benson was averaging 3.2 yards behind the same group. Its only going to get better to a degree even with more competent running from Starks (who will need time to get back to speed) and Green is going to start.

Lang being hurt and Saturday needing an adjustment to the blocking schemes means this could get better later in the season, but I ma not expecting them to average 4.0 a game Weeks 10-17.

The announcers were saying during the game that McCarthy was putting Green's struggles on him not being patient at the line. He's used to running at full speed from the moment he gets the ball. Once the game slows down for him, he should be better.

That being said, Starks did seem to have better vision than Green. Too bad he's hit or miss on a game by game basis on this...
