But, he wont stay on the field weighing more than Jabba the Hut and there in no OL in Seattle, so he's gonna have to do it on its own.

Agreed it i'd be nice to have more than Monty. But, we could thrive with Ripkowski as single back, RBs are a dime a dozen and rookies can play right away. Oh, and Starks still isn't signed 😊.

And btw, Don Jackson is gonna YOTTO!

I still kind of wish they'd give Christian Michael a chance to compete for a roster spot. The guy is pretty explosive.

I liked him and his mad bull running style. But it's true he couldn't stay healthy or push himself away from the dessert tray.

I know one thing, if everything remains the same, if I'm a priority UDFA, I'm goin' to GB. Michael is a guy that's just gonna take alot longer to "get it," and not only is he explosive, he doesn't have a lot of mileage on the wheels.

After being publicly declared a fatty last year. And since week 5 under the care of a rehab trainer constantly telling you the less weight the better and faster you will heal; and knowing that every pound over 230 is going to cost you 100K and he still has to have a full prime rib dipped in chocolate sauce for dessert after every meal; Lacy is just a loser.

Oh and I'd bet for the last week or 2 Lacy scarfed a dump truck full of diuretics and dropped 10-15-20 lbs of water weight. As we speak I'd bet he's 10lbs heavier. And with the $3M bonus he can now buy 875,145 more hot fudge sundays.

Do Apete or Jamal Charles have more left than Don Jackson can give?

Dunno man. I'd bring one of them in and let them compete, if the price is right. 👍

Peterson is toast. Jamaal Charles is a speed back who is now 30 coming off two ACL tears. Don Jackson should never see a starting lineup in his career.

The Packers can get by with what they have at RB along with a rookie, but they can't get by with what they have on defense. I'm not optimistic they are going to do anything more than plug rookies in to fill the gigantic holes. The defense will continue to be horrible and people will continue to blame Aaron Rodgers.

I agree with what you on Lacy. I'm helping drive the fat joke train but I'm not happy seeing him go to a key NFC rival. He's still an effective back that defenders in the second level don't want to see coming at them. As maddening as his apathy can be, he can be good.

Michael is apparently one of the dimmer bulbs in the aisle at Lowes but he's still a hell of an athlete I feel the Packers could have utilized better last year. Would like to see him back as well, as frustrating as he can be.

Don Jackson gets 4.5 per carry, book it!
