Ryan Grant Placed On IR· Page 9

I don't think this ends our season at all. I really like B-jax he just needs an opportunity he is a solid RB and should be able to carry the load. The only concern is he is somewhat injury prone himself. Provided he stays healthy himself we will be fine IMHO. I actually think RB is the easiest position on the field to replace.

RB is completely dependent on the line to block well. If they open up holes any RB can run through them. What does Ryan Grant do that is so irreplaceable? I don't ever see him make many people miss, he takes exactly what the line gets him. It's not like we are losing a Chris Johnson type player.

I like the Jets' RB/WR Danny Woodhead... he's on their 53 man roster so probably have to trade a late round pick but the kid has good speed and hits holes with out dancing too much like Jackson does at times...

I think he will stay healthy,I watched his locker room interview and he said he didn't take better care of himself and didn't do the little things in 2007,08,maybe 09.This year he got stronger according to him and does the little things to stay upright.But of course it football injures can happen but its good to see him committing to things like this.

I love Clay, but he's slower'n mud - he'll be a FB in the NFL. White's just a freshman, but he looks like a good one.

Take a look at the RBs at Virginia Tech. Ryan Williams is a sophomore this year, and he is one of the best backs in the country.

Just got home from work and got the bad news. That injury looked bad to me when it happened, like maybe even 6-8 weeks, but a whole season? What a drag. He was such a perfect RB for this offense. Not hugely talented, but just a really nice fit wit his running style.

Jackson is almost as good as Grant, but there's a huge void behind him now. It's lucky that Jackson has had such a good off season. He picked a good time to step up his game. If he stays healthy, which is a big if, he should put up the same kind of numbers as Grant did.

Zero mentioned screen passes. The Packers ran a couple of really nice screens in the preseason. I would love to see them run a couple of those per game.

What I like best about Brandon Jackson is how he fights for yardage at the end of a carry. He picked up a first down that way late in the game against the Eagles.

I was sure this was going to be season ending when I saw him hobble off on Sunday.

When Mike said it was a "Significant Injury" that made me all the more convinced he was done. It is a shame.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills

Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
