Montgomery to Ravens

[Harlan Huckleby]

There were doing that, not with Cobb but with Monty. And a few nice runs or catches, but overall it wasn't working well. But screens, blocking first than catch the ball out of the backfield, running occasionally from shotgun, he was doing all this stuff.

I don't remember Monty catching passes - maybe they flipped him some screens or checkdowns. I barely remember those plays. Why not occasionally send him down field on pass routes?

I agree with SavedbyGrace that the Packers mostly tried to use him like a traditional running back, which Monty certainly is not.

They do, though last year I think they liked passing to Wiliams most. But the most common route is to check pass pro then leak out to a route. Rodgers rarely takes that option though.

There is a simple scheme fix for the Montgomery problem.

TT was not a guru, and destroyed this team

I wonder how many of those players no longer on the roster from previous drafts were scouted and recommended by Gutey when he was working for TT. Doh!

A safety? Looks like Monty’s feet crossed the end zone before the teammate tackle.

Once again showing you have no football knowledge. It's the ball dumbass not the feet that have to cross the plane.

It even says that in the video.

Now i ain’t a fuckin Queen fan, but in my glorious youth, I saw plenty of Cris Carter sideline catches where the rock flew OB, but were ruled complete cos Carter had both feet inbounds.

Oh my fucking God. That is precious.

There may have been some helmet-to-helmet on the hit, otherwise excellent judgement and execution.

I remember even old thunder thighs Edgar Bennett would run pass routes 20 yards downfield. Why not let ex-WR Monty do some sophisticated patterns downfield with some linebacker trying to cover? I suppose the answer may be that the pass protection is not good enough to risk it.

The west coast offense used to feature fullbacks who could block for the running game, plus run some short pass patterns. Not sure why I mention this now. Wish we had triple threat, athletic fullbacks back in the game. I always like teams that use backs outta the backfield on patterns, not just a slot guy who has a safety spying him. Element of surprise.

Unless he can do the William Henderson hurdle, no thanks.

If any RB could catch 20 yard routes, it should have been Monty. He was drafted and made an NFL roster as a WR. Not only that, but he was also getting playing time on a Rodgers' led team as a WR. I usually refrain from questioning play calls and design because I'm not knowledgeable enough to critique those, but Monty seems like a huge missed opportunity.

I tend to agree that we haven’t maxed Ty or people like Cobb. But - with where this team is at - Ty never fit in. They used him as a traditional Rb for a period and he was oft injured. I hope he does well with the Ravens.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'll wish him luck the old showbiz way, "Break a leg!"

Plenty of TT picks that arent' utilized by MM go on and are successful elsewhere.
