Bring Hendo Back?

[Joemailman]

It rained in Green Bay today and they had to move the practice inside, so it was closed to the public. TT is an idiot.

Griffith was the perfect fit for this. He was customer built to what the Packers need. Already knew the ZBS and he wasnt too old, practically in his prime.

As a TT supporter I hold this one against him because money talks and TT had a lot of talking he could have done with the big bankroll. Unless Griffith didnt want to come. We can't say it was to go to a contender because he went to oakland so I think TT dropped the ball.

[Joemailman]

Oakland was able to lure him there because a couple of Griffith's former coaches in Atlanta had been hired by Kiffin in Oakland.

[MadtownPacker]

Did that coach have millions of dolla bills like that damn turtle? Hell no! TT just had to break the bank for a moment and he still would have been sitting $pretty$ after acquiring a premium player for the offensive scheme of his hand picked 2nd year HC. Of all the players that TT might have got this is the one I thought made the most sense and surprised me when it didn't happen.

If Ahman went to Houston for more $$$ why wouldn't Griffith have came to GB for more??

[Packnut]

Money

It's all about the big green. Had Teddy trumped Oakland's offer, we'd have a good FB right now. It's amazing how some here defend Thompson at all costs to logic and reason. It's suppossed to be about making this a better football team period.

Now if anyone thinks we're better off with a guy who can't stay healthy or his back-ups than Griffith, well never mind.

thats the spirit! I knew you'd come around.

Can't we blame him for famine in Africa? No, wait, Gilbert had already been cut before he got here. Nevermind.

Brandon Miree returned to practice today.

[FritzDontBlitz]

This is a rumor that I am not proud to have started. The fact is we just lost another fullback, albeit a camp body, but still the starter has not played and is still out another week, at least.

i am for bringing hendo back to give the younguns time to heal, too. maybe they could find him a spot in the organization similar to what they did for edgar and leroy butler. henderson's work ethic alone is something the younger guys need to see and emulate.

[The Leaper]

They should never have released him to begin with.

Henderson was mostly ineffective last season as a FB. He looked very slow and often hesitant trying to learn the ZBS.

It would've been stupid to keep Henderson around. He didn't have any more experience in the ZBS than the young guys did, so I don't know where anyone comes off with the notion that Henderson was going to be some beacon of knowledge for the kids.

We aren't running the Sherman power run attack anymore kiddos.

What?

They don't have Favre or Driver to emulate?

Henderson was a great Packer...his time has come and gone. Hanging on to some broken down relic is hardly my idea of moving forward.

While William is not what he was, and retiring is a good thing, he is NOT 'some broken down relic'.

Clearly, you weren't watching closely last season at how poorly Henderson played. He had more or less lost his starting job by the end of training camp last year to Leach, although it seemed the coaches were content to bring Leach around slowly and still utilize Henderson to some extent. Then Leach got hurt and Henderson stepped back in as the starter...only to be beat out AGAIN by Miree, who was signed to the practice squad FOLLOWING CAMP!

Henderson was beat out by a guy who had about 3 weeks of experience in the ENTIRE ORGANIZATION, yet some of you are wetting your pants over the prospect of sticking Henderson back on the field?!?

Bottom line...Henderson was average at best as a blocker last year and the one remaining strength he had shown in his twilight, receiving, plummeted to an abysmal 12 catches for 62 yards.

He was a broken down relic last year. Get over it.

[Jerry Tagge]

I think TT should sign Barty Smith.

[Zool]

I think TT should sign Barty Smith.

And that dude who played Willow. Warwick Davis.

In no way was I advocating bringing Henderson back . And the "yet some of you are wetting your pants", comment was rather crude.

I just don't happen to agree with your depiction of him being a "broken down relic ".
