    hey, at least wait till Thursday night to say he looks like shit. Get your hopes up a little now, it will make the bitter pleasure all that much greater.

    I say the guy has some NFL experience, made a roster - he's already gotta be an upgrade over a PS guy or Jukin James.

      Actually, he only made the roster so KC wouldn't have to release him. The plan was to put him on the roster anticipating that a sucker would show up to trade for him. At least that's the story I heard.
      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.

        Hey, maybe a sucker will show up for Starks!

        KC thought he was worth a roster spot.
        TT thought he was better than any PS guy around the league.

        Lets give him a chance. In two days we can hang TT in effigy the fist time the guy gets tackled behind line of scrimmage.

          The guy has good straight ahead speed for a big guy. The knock against him is he's not very shifty in close quarters. And he doesn't break a lot of tackles despite his size. He has returned kickoffs.

            Seemed kind of gimpy but were they trotting him out with an extremely fucked up ankle or did he make it worse?

            Report: Lacy will miss several weeks
            http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/10/18/report-lacy-will-miss-several-weeks/
            Packers running back Eddie Lacy has an ankle injury that will keep him out for several weeks, NFL Network reported Tuesday night.

              They made it worse. I said during the game I feared that would happen.

              By the way, sources tell me that they'll soon sign Don Jackson off the PS.

                As others reported earlier, #Packers sent #Chiefs a 2018 conditional 7th-round pick for Knile Davis, per #NFL's official transaction wire.
                Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                  Getting him that cheap is definitely a good move. I like the idea of a speed back. Basically, Davis has the time Starks is out to show he is a better player. I think he is and will prove it on the field.
                  What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                    One year my fantasy backs were decimated. Jamal Charles was one of 'em and I drafted his back-up. Then I cut the back-up (he was hurt)
                    and drafted Davis. He immediately had a big game & I had him on the bench. When I played him he was good for about 3 pts. Back to the bench and he puts up a 20 spot. But I watched him some. He has some skills. He's short, very strong, fast, and muscular. He's kinda like Doug Martin, maybe he's the muscle gopher or something. he pretty good at rainbow routes and has decent hands. Running outside? He has real problems getting to the outside. He starts slowly and those fill guys catch him a good bit of the time and stone him. If he can spring wide, he creates problems for the D. He's faster than backers and is a load for any DB to tackle. I disagree with the "not shifty inside" deal. he has quick feet and can jab step one way and hit a gap going like a crazy man

                    Pass pro? He has issues. He's strong like a bull and can nail the shit out of an inside blitz from an ILB. When blitz pick-up is needed on an outside man like a Ware or Peppers style dude? He's usually physically outgunned. Those tall, long armed buggers just guzzle him. He needs some help, like keep Rodgers in to chip the long tall boys and let Davis pick up the ILB's or circle him out of the backfield. He knows the job and is good at making adjustments.

                    he didn't fumble much when I had him, maybe that was a later development.

                    There can be some upside to this kid, lets hope we get more than our fair share.

                      I like the optimism, KY. We ought to get this settled pre-emptively: IS DAVIS ELIGIBLE FOR THE FUCKDOGGLE???

                        He is going to be Samkon Gado 2.0.
                        But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

                          He is first inline this week if he scores a TD and we win.

                            Does anyone know what became of the Packer's interest in Jhurell Pressley? They must like Don Jackson as much or more than him. Strange, they liked him well enough to sign him to the 53-man right after the Vikings cut him, but as soon as they needed the roster spot, they cut Pressley. That part is understandable for a young guy. What doesn't make sense is when they got short-handed, why didn't they once again show interest? Perhaps in the limited sample-size they had of him, the determined that Jackson was just as promising, but I don't know if they would have signed Jackson like they did Pressley, which is the curious part.

                              They wanted Pressley for the Vikings scouting report.
                              No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

                                At this point in the season I can't believe there is a lot to choose from.
