go.pack.go gushed

Don’t know if this deserves its own topic or not, but Danny Vitale just signed with the Patriots.

Fine with me...I was completely underwhelmed by his performance...not at all Kuhn like. Let's sign some more TEs and stick them back there occasionally.

And when they did use him as a receiver out of the backfield, Rodgers either didn't look his way or could throw a good short pass... and Vitale at time got wide freaking open! (Partly scheme, partly defense forgetting about the FB and partly good route running)... problem is Rodgers would forget about him too, or forget how to throw a pass on target when targeting him.

Don't expect another Kuhn... Kuhn took years to prove his worth, and they tried to go with Korey Hall and Quinn Johnson over him before they realized Kuhn's versatility.

The thing is, Vitale had even more versatility and they never used it...

Vitale so should have been used as a WR and RB at least twice each...

Rodgers over threw Vitale and missed big plays like 4 games in a row. Could not connect.

a fullbacks primary job is to block esp in short yardage situations. IMO, he was well below average in this primary function...if you can't fulfill the basic function. the rest doesn't matter.

Jimmy Graham has always been a super large WR, but they call him a TE.

Vitale has always been a verstile H-Back but they call him a FB.

Labels are wrong, which is way you can't limited your mind to just the label...

Also, this just in, none of the NFL teams are primary a 3-4 not 4-3 defense anymore! Those labels are all false too, as all teams primary run nickel based defenses with 5 DBs.

I don't care what you call them or label them, Graham couldn't block well enough and neither could Vitale. I am not the one who labelled Vitale a fullback, he was acquired to be a FB (check the Packers website)

Irrespective of his position or label...neither got it done. Good bye.

I never claimed you out the label anything, I said "they", which is not "you".

Vitale was acquired to do as he was told and help the team in anyway he possibly could... not just as a blocker (as that's never been his strength as an H-Back /WR in college).

10.4

His acquisition, for the role he was playing, was a mistake.

Letting him go is not a mistake.

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.

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