    Go Sam!!

    Packers | Gado No. 2; Herron No. 3
    Sun, 3 Sep 2006 06:36:38 -0700

    The Wisconsin State Journal reports Green Bay Packers RB Samkon Gado, who rushed for a team-high 582 yards and six touchdowns last season, will be the backup to starting RB Ahman Green. RB Noah Herron, also in his second season, is the third running back.

      if sam works hard enough and tries hard enough to excel in this offense he could possibly become the starter if ahman green struggles (or gets hurt again)

      i know samkon has the right mindset and drive to excel, now he just has to execute on the field...

        he doesn't "get" the zone concept...i'm personally surprised he made the team over Najeh...don't get too many hopes up, he doesn't fit the blocking scheme.

          He works extremely hard and does whatever they tell him to do. He just needs to learn to turn that overachieving brain off and run.

            it's seriously not that easy...zone concepts for RB's are very difficult, and if you don't have it, you just don't have it. When I played at Winona State, our best running back in my class, could never get on the field, cause he just didn't understand the zone concept. i know that's a lot different than a pro running back, but still. Ahman Green gets the zone concept, you can see the difference when he runs in it as opposed to when Najeh, or Samkon ran it. I"m just very wary of our backups to Ahman, I really think TT needs to bring in a zone running back.

              Gado

              Gado is brutal. We're in deep shit if this guy is playing.

                Najeh got the zone scheme even worse. Gado flashed. Najeh looked like a fish out of water. Gado is 235 and runs a 4.3 40, and had more success in 1/2 season than Da Poop ever had. I'd rather have kept Gado, but I wouldn't be surprised if Da Poop has some success elsewhere. I wish him well.

                  Harv...not to burst your bubble, but Gado ran a 4.59 40, according to the draft report a couple years ago, and reportedly ran a 4.57 when he reported to camp this year. Najeh ran a 4.58.

                    That's not what I read. I'll research. Have you watched the two? There's no way in hell Da Poop is faster than Gado.

                      this is why i hate 40 times, they don't mean crap. a player can be fast going in a straight line against himself...40 yard dashes mean nothing, they are just a number. and honestly, in a zone running scheme, you will rarely see an extremely fast running back behind it...they are guys that take their time and can read the zone, not just fly through it.

                        Okay, 4.3s was an exaggeration, but here's an article about Gado from the USA Today. I also found another article that stated ran in the 4.4s for the Patriots also. I don't know where you got your numbers, but they are either wrong or he's increased his speed since then.

                            Samkon ran a 4.43. I remember them interviewing him after the Pittsburgh game and they asked him what his time was when he tried out, and that's exactly what he said.

                              I'm not sure this is true. I think I Patlerized him. He said Gado ran a 4.57 40.


                              We both got Patlerized.
