Lots of doom and gloom this week. Lets talk about the game Ty had. Hopefully McCarthy finally gives him and others consistently playing time. Ty has earned it. He's fun to watch.

yeah if his last name was Spiller and he had the exact same game people wouldn't be freaking out so bad about our back up RB.

Ty is a big, strong dude and has more upside than Abby. Would like to see Davis make more of his opportunities, and of course Aaron to get his house in order. But yeah, always been a huge fan of Montgomery.

I absolutely love this guy. He needs to stay on the field.

Montgomery has been practicing as RB for over a month now and Aaron Rodgers says that Montgomery is "now a RB" lol

It doesn't say "RB" next to his name on the roster though therefore he can't be a good back up RB and we need to sign a FA that has one of those "RB" things next to his name.

I'm just happy he's making catches and being part of the offense. Between his ankle injury last year and quiet year (TC+first couple of games) I feared he was just a flash in the pan.

Edit: Oh, and I was worried when I heard he had micro-fracture surgery

What do you not like about Montgomery at RB? He has the size for it and looks like a dang RB lol

Ripowski has the heft but not the speed. Monty has the speed but not the heft.
