Where Are The Miree Backers Now?

[Packnut]

When I was bitchin and moanin about the failure to get Griffith, was'nt there a few of you telling me I was wrong cause Miree would be good enough? Now he might not even make the team. Yeah, pat yourselves on the back for that one........

So what are we left with? A converted LB who's gonna start at FB. So explain to me again how Thompson is doing such an incredible job. We have 13 mill in cap space and could have easily gotten Griffith by offering more cash, but no, God forbid we spend money on a position of serious need. Here is a little blurb from PFW:

• Word out of Oakland is that FB Justin Griffith is expected to make a big difference in the running game, and his versatility as a runner, receiver and blocker should be put to good use by Lane Kiffin and Co.

Another Teddy mistake. Another missed chance. Another position of weakness that will come back to haunt us. Yeah, yeah, I know the reply. He's our GM and we should support him with no questions asked......

Although I thought Miree would mature into a better fullback in time, he wasn't even close to being better then Henderson. Henderson got the shaft for whatever reason. It sure wasn't his play, his heart or his leadership because all of those were still top notch in the NFL. A lot of people say he was washed up, lost a step, and a whole slew of other excuses. Yet, no one was able to show me where his game dropped off. I have heard "he wasn't a fit for the ZBS" which is BS reason to get rid of him. It's really hard to block the first person you see (the ZBS for a FB). It's harder to know your assigned person to block which is the norm for a FB. So that excuse doesn't fly. 3T should suck up his pride and re-sign Henderson and let him battle it out for the job.

How many 36 year old fullbacks do you see in the NFL?

How many 36-year-old fullbacks have EVER played in the NFL?

I am still waiting for any clips from last season showing he couldn't do the job. I don't care how old the guy is, he was doing the job. Age is irrelevant provided the performance is there and to use that as an excuse is naive. Just because no other team has one doesn't mean that there shouldn't be one.

He got the shaft.

IMO - this is really crappy. quite honestly, you want to criticize when you don't agree, but when a point is made the other way instead of acknowledging it, you want to ridicule it.

This says more about you than the original poster...

Look out Harv. The Mod is not happy with you.

Henderson's performance WASN'T there in 2006, which is why he is gone.

Henderson 2005: 30 receptions, 264 yards, 3 for 20+ yards, 13 for first down, 8 tackles/4 assists on special teams.

Henderson 2006: 12 receptions (previous lowest was 21), 62 yards (previous low was 168), 0 for 20+ yards, 3 for first down (previous low was 8). 2 tackles/1 assist on special teams.

He did not even win the starting FB job coming out of camp last year. Claiming someone has to post "clips" is ridiculous. Go back and look at the grade he got from McGinn...who looks at PLENTY of clips.

Anyone claiming that Henderson should still be in Green Bay is thinking foolishly.

I guess I'm confused as to what sarcastic comments are acceptable when you disagree then.

[Carolina_Packer]

Yeah, it's probably not what some of us would do to build a team, and you respect that there are differences of opinion. But, that said, what is happening, is happening, and there's not much you can do about it, but hope for the best.

What would you have said if we picked up Griffin or some other "stud" well-known player and they came in and had nagging injuries and couldn't get on the field? Would it still be TT's fault?

Obviously if Miree was considered a liability or couldn't play football, they wouldn't just put a player on the field to spite second-guessing fans. They obviously thought enough of him to let him come back for another go. It's disappointing as hell that we've had so many injuries in a position that was a question mark. What if there hadn't been the injuries and the outlook was better? Would you still be demanding different players just because you thought you knew better?

Cool. A battle of the moderators.

Nah no battles. But if some sarcastic remarks are deems OK, all of them should be.

Is that a part or illustration. . of HATE? A weak attempt to discredit another in the face of some fear?

A weak effort to de-value an opposing or determined stance to a commonly accepted policy stance, by a self perceived or otherwise branch of assumed power?

It's form is obvious and shameful. Often a percusor to and as negatively valueless towords a positive result. As a teens immature and frustrated reaction of using violence to resolve a matter of discontent between parties.

IT shouts EGO ECCENTRICITY.

It may be excused as it's often born of delusion,fear of the results of adopted ignorance and repressed helplessness.

You stooped below where you need to go Harvey.

Blah blah blah

Woody, I thought you were ragging on Retail until I got to your last line.

Lets see, whose side should I be on? I guess I'll be on Retail's side. No not exactly, I choose to be against Zool for butting-in to a perfectly good catfight. But the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so guess Retail's my bud after all.
