Gado!!

[Tony Oday]

Love the guy. The press on him seems VERY good and he is still humble. I would love to see him win the #1 spot and have Green play a 'Marshall Faulk' style vet running as a change of pace Back and keep Davenport in for strictly back-up duties.

I can't wait to see him run for over 1,000 yards and 12 TDs that would be a nice year behind the new zone blocking o line.

Sam's Club lives!! Yeah!

Sam's Club lives!! Yeah!

No it doesn't. Because non of the damned Club Officials have stopped having their lunch break long enough to call the Club back to order. These people are even worse than the front office people running that new NFL expansion team.

I know, nobody thinks that's possible, but clearly, the evidence supports this most outlandish claim!

[Tony Oday]

Well when a lunch hour goes into happy hour there are just so many hours in the day!!!

[MJZiggy]

Who's in charge of this group anyway. I was late to the party so only accepted as a scrub even though I loved the kid from the get-go. My gut still sings to me when I think about him.

My gut still sings to me when I think about him.

Sure its not a lil lower then your gut?

Can someone go to the wasteland and get the original Sam's Club list? We can turn this into the new one.

[MJZiggy]

My knees have nothing to do with this.

[MJZiggy]

Ugh. Now I need a shower. Looks like there'll have to be some substitutions.

I forgot I was a member of the club. When is the next meeting? Hawaii I hope. Does the club pay the bill?

i'm the thread killer. only way this guy is on the team this year is because we didn't get anyone else. Ahman will be the starter, with Gado as a backup, maybe even to Najeh. I know he had good numbers, but he also wasn't consistant, soem games he didn't even show up for, and more importantly, he has a higher fumble to carry average than ahman green does.

Think back to Ahman's early years. Remember the horrid fumble problem?

[ND72]

um....ahman was putting up HUGE numbers his first few years in green bay, not 500 yards...he was putting up 1200 and 600 and 20 TD yearly...i know gado played in 5 or 6 games, and of those 5 or 6, he only played well in like 3 of them. Gado reminds me nothing of ahman. PLUS, the big "knock" on Gado coming out of college was he did not understand and could not run in a zone blocking scheme....what scheme are we running now?

College Career

As a senior at Liberty, saw action in nine games … Carried the ball 138 times for a career-high 901 yards (6.5 avg.) with a team-high 11 TDs … Added 12 catches for 95 yards (7.9 avg.) … Returned 10 kickoffs for 269 yards (26.9 avg.) with a TD and recorded nine special teams tackles … Appeared in 11 games as a junior, rushing 47 times for 337 yards (7.2 avg.) with three TDs, and catching 13 passes for 182 yards (14.0 avg.) with three scores … Added two kickoff returns for 26 yards (13.0 avg.) … As sophomore played in all 11 games … Carried the ball 36 times for 136 yards (3.8 avg.) with a TD and caught 11 passes for 190 yards (17.3 avg.) with three touchdowns … Also returned one kickoff for 11 yards and recorded eight special teams tackles … Saw duty in eight games as a true freshman … Rushed 52 times for 257 yards (4.5 avg.) with a TD and added two receptions for 19 yards (9.5 avg.).





It would appear that Gado got better as he gained more experience at Liberty. As a Packer, he certainly had more success running behind a suspect line than anyone else. You say he only had 3 good games. Well, that's 3 more than Green had. I hope Ahman makes it back, but right now, Gado is clearly our best back.
