Concussion for Jackson

[Partial]

I think this strengthens the argument that the Packers will keep 4 RB's. Wynn, White and Herron will be battling on Thursday Night for 2 spots.

I don't doubt that by any means, but I am not so sure that 4th back comes from the Packers roster.

Well, the fourth preseason game is for letting bubble guys show they deserve a spot. Right now Wynn's not even on the bubble, he'd better be thankful for his opportunity.

He's only still here because they are shorthanded. He's bound to be cut.

Ceteris paribus he's absolutely going to get cut, but if he runs for 150 yards against the Titan's first stringers, he won't be. This gives him an opportunity that he should be thankful for.

All the TT bashers will be out in full force if the running game tanks the first couple of weeks. Seems like some on the OL think the running game will be ok as they are doing vanilla schemes and haven't done cut blocking or anything else. I hope Jackson takes a week to clear his head and breaks out for 120 yds his first game.

Re: Concussion for Jackson

Just when the Packers running game couldn't afford to get anymore bad news, Packers rookie Brandon Jackson suffered what appears to be a concussion today at practice. His availability against the Titans is in doubt after the grogginess he displayed after practice today. The running game will be the achilles heal of the 2007 Packers imo.

Do we know if he has had any concussions in the past?

I don't think Wynn is in shape to do a lot battling. Herron has made the team. White is not good enough for NFL.

well, i had wynn as my pick to be the surprise of the draft. of course, by surprise i meant through his contributions not his inability to stay healthy. has he even suited up to play since the family night game?

getting back to jackson. i was watching the 1st half of the jax game last night. jackson has absolutely no burst around end. looks to me the sack of favre could be attributed to him as well. if you get a chance to watvch a denver exhibition watch out for this selvin young character. i haven't seen a guy with that kind of burst since.....well, since ahman was exploding thru the line on the way to one of his long td runs.....

I like the thoughts of Morency, Jackson, Herron and White in the backfield. Morency is a great ZBS runner although his duribility may come into question. Jackson is learning and will continue to do so. He should have a great season. Herron does what is asked of him and White, he just runs people over and we need that for short yardage.

How about Morencey, Jackson, Herron, and somebody else's cut?

'07 RB = '05 OL

I'm sure Jackson will be fine, but it's a long season, and the cupboard is pretty bare.

we definitely need to bring another back in. I thought Corey white had a pretty good outing last game. Allthough it was my first time seeing him in action. Can anybody else say how good he has looked in other games if played at all?

[Him8123]

also young maybe very good, an uncovered gem. But also Denver has a knack for making any RB look good.

[4and12to12and4]

Well, just to cheer things up a little, do you realize that when the Bears got rid of Thomas Jones they left themselves with Benson and Peterson, and after that, their third string RB will be a little fella out of NWU that stands 5'7" and weighs 175 lbs. He looks like Maurice Drew Jones without the strong lower body. So, I think they messed up real good, if either Benson or Adrian go down.

[Him8123]

very true. I just hope morency has a good year as well as jackson. Morency showed some flashes that he could be pretty decent.

[4and12to12and4]

Him, you nailed it on the head. The success of our running game will have more to do with this new blocking scheme being successful. We have the young athletes to run it, now they just have to gel. And gel quick.
