Brady might have something to do with it.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Well, I did say "something."Originally posted by Patler View PostExcept, of course, for the year Brady was out and Belicheat managed to win 11 games without him.

Two words: Ty MontgomeryOriginally posted by Patler View PostJones was with Favre as a rookie, and played due to an injury riddled receiving group. And again, that was with Favre..
Cobb didn't do a lot as a rookie WR, did his second year however.
Abbrederis got a positive comment for two days of camp work - doesn't mean much.
Adams wasn't promoted ahead of Boykins as much as Boykins gave it away. Boyknins was awful for three games when he was ahead of Adams, then was hurt and didn't play for three more. He wasn't any better when he got back. Adams had no competition last year for #3. Essentially, he moved ahead of a guy who was cut by Carolina this year and now can't find a job.
Rookie WRs who have figured significantly in the offense have been there due to attrition more than anything else. I look at Janis as being a year behind many of the rookies they brought in other years, just due to his background. I'm not suggesting he will be a saviour, but what they have been doing so far this year hasn't been working all that well. Sometimes in all sports a spark comes not from a better player, but from a player that offers something different than those who have been playing.
Janis might fail miserably; but I think it might be time to find out.
Randall is a first round pick, selected specifically to fill in a role due to losses in FA. HaHa same deal but for talent drain (other) not FA. Janis had no such role. He stepped into a team that had its top three (Nelson, Coob and higher round pick Adams).
Bach started as a rookie because of Bulaga's injury. Does this mean Campen doesn't like rookie starters? Barclay got starts because Bach was otherwise occupied and Newhouse and Sherrod were terrible. Which category does Barclay fall into?
RichRod starts because Quarless is hurt. But he also received significant snaps despite blocking deficiencies as a rookie. Rodgers trusts him.
When there was a spot open, Janis got a start and made two plays, both on QB scrambles. I don't think this is much of a mystery.
But I do agree, even at 6-2, the time to wait before tweaking the offense to Janis is running short. However, I bet we are at least two weeks away as they wait for Monty (a rookie who somehow got snaps without injuries) and Adams to get healthy and back up to speed.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

I wouldn't judge Janis based on the offenses he played in, including the play of Rodgers.
...and I again, I'm not arguing Janis is the solution, but something needs to happen and Janis is about all there is to effect change with.
Find a way to get him the ball and see what happens.

This will be a interesting week to see what happens just read a article in Rotoworld with Mike saying he has worked with the offense almost all week he still wont be calling the plays but he has focused and worked with them all week this should show plenty I think.
