Can anyone comment on these young RBs, either from having watched them in college (Beach Kentucky, Pope Bowling Green), or from training camp last year (Pope was in TC with da Bears). They both seem to fit the one cut running style we are looking for, and based on college stats they appear to both be capable receivers out of the backfield. I can't find any information on whether either has kick or punt returning experience. I'm hopeful one of the two can make a meaningful contribution this year.

Both have a chance to be on the Packers Opening Day Roster. I think Pope more than Beach."I've got one word for you- Dallas, Texas, Super Bowl"- Jermichael Finley -
Beach was well on his way to making the team last year before the high ankle sprain. The Bears liked Pope quite a bit but had so much depth at RB they tried to keep him stashed on their practice squad.Originally posted by BallHawk
I'm curious if the Pack sees Lynch as a dramatically better option, especially to use #16 on him. When we debated the switch to the ZBS last year the ability to plug in lesser known RBs and still be productive was thought to be one of the benefits. We will likely see that theory tested if we bypass a RB in the early rounds in a couple of weeks.Comment

Pope
I'm a big Pope fan but I have no clue how well he would run in a pro set offense. At BG, he basically ran draws and option plays out of the shotgun formation. He does have some pass catching ability.Comment

If I had the opportunity I would call Al a hell of a lot more than darkhorse, but thats a story for another day.Originally posted by the_idle_threatDon't let Al Sharpton hear you calling him a "dark horse."

I predict that Arliss Beach will become a stud for the Pack.

Ah, the offseason. It's all about hope, baby.
I read that the coaching staff liked Beach, I read that the ZBS can plug in a certain kind of runner, and poof! Arliss Beach will be a stud."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
