  • Franklin

    Well, Johnathan Franklin & Alex Green have identical stat lines for the season: 0 plays.

    I hope Franklin can do something, they might need him now. I think they should have kept Green instead, but we shall see.

    Franklin might still turn out to be someone. Green, he's a coulda been.

      Actually, Franklin was a somebody as a child. More of a backup than a featured player.



      "In a Weekend Update commentary on a 1992 episode of Saturday Night Live, Chris Rock, who incorrectly stated that Franklin had not said a single word for 25 years, related his own childhood experience as the only black student in his grade school class."

        Franklin said something politically incorrect in the Thanksgiving episode and the sound has been scrubbed from all video and television versions. (Franklin can bee seen giving a "high five" and probably says "Charlie Brown, you're a great guy for inviting me over, but you are one pathetic baseball playing cracker"

        Actually, in a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, one scene got slammed due to perceived racism. In the scene, six kids and Snoopy celebrate Thanksgiving at a ping pong table, but Franklin is alone on one side of the table, in a beach chair below the level of others. Racial watchdogs saw it as Franklin being depicted as a racial outcast, but if you knew Charles Schultz, that wasn't how he rolled. He even fought with people to have Franklin included. He would have made a good NFL agent.

              Uh, THIS is Franklin. And he has his own show, and his own theme song.



              This song will be in your head every time Jonathon Franklin steps on the field. If he ever does.

                  As for Jonathon Franklin, if the guy can't get into a game when Lacy is out, Kuhn is out, the team is up by 3 and 4 scores, Starks has had a full load of carries and there is no other back on the roster, will he ever get into a game? If they trust him that little, they should have kept someone else.

                  They could be without Lacy and Kuhn this week. Will they sign someone else? Cedric Benson maybe?

                    Maybe we should call him roosevelt franklin. As an aside that was one of the better tangents I had seen in awhile here before someone had to bring us on to the original subject...

                            Ross, his only value is on returns, and he has not been doing that very well.
                            Maybe Franklin himself, then sign him to PS if he clears waivers.

                            I don't know how significant their injuries are, but the most injured of Hayward, Burnett or Kuhn could be sent to IR Return.

                              I do wonder if Alex Green will ever get his cutting ability back. I'm wondering if the Pack gave up on him too soon. It's hard not to imagine he would've gotten at least a couple carries or passes last Sunday.

                              And you'd have an option for replacing Jeremy "Disappearing" Ross on kickoffs.
