Iv noticed over the years that the packers do not run that many gadget plays over the course of the year (ie. wr reverse, half back throw) the last half back throw i remember is Ahman Green to Bubba Franks a couple of years ago. I do believe that throw a gadget play in there against a aggressive defense like the Bears will keep them honest on defense.

I would think Jennings could run a reverse pretty well with his speed. I am not a hug fan of gadget plays though, the risk is greater than the reward in most respects. I would rather see Rodgers throw the ball 50 yards, or watch Driver break 6 tackles on the way to the end zone.

I've been begging for them to run a gadget play.

Now IMO you shouldn't run a gadget play unless it's in an important time where it could put all (or most) the momentum in your favor. In other words if the offense isn't moving and you need a kick start... or to tie the game up... to take the lead.... or kick the flood gates open and kill the momentum of the other team by getting the point out of reach (or almost out of reach) for the other team to catch up.

Or right after the other team scores. There is almost nothing harder to watch... your team scratch and claw for a hard fought points... only for the other team to score a TD in the first four plays after it. It's even worse when the hard fought points was a FG and then the other team scores a TD. Talk about momentum killers....

But they shouldn't be running one every game... but at least 3 a year IMO. And the Packers did run one... they got Flynn in on the punting play as a blocker... and snapped the ball to him and he run for a first down. I like that play... but there needs to be a couple of more... I would like to see a Nelson or Jones pass...

there is always room for a wrinkle or two.

I'd rather have Dr. Rodgers methodically slice up and carve open the opposition than to run a play which is such high risk.

When you have Rodgers, Drivers, Jennings, and Grant...you don't need wrinkles.

Grant is our wrinkle as of now, when he runs the ball for big gains take that as a wrinkle play. And Packers don't need wrinkles and if we ever ran a wrinkle play I would have driver do that because he has got some moves and major speed.

I'd like to see more screens, although I don't think our RBs necessarily fit that mode. I always liked the old "enema draw" too. And I hated Rosseley's little shuffle pass up the middle.
Ahman Green and Bubba Franks were both left handed, which makes HB/TE option passes VERY unexpected. Mike McCarthy is an offensive genius though. I'm sure he's got plenty up his sleeve.

When you have Jennings you actually need to run wrinkle plays. How on earth will we utilize all his talents otherwise?

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) : 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) : 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 (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
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!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
