I assure you this won't happen, but listed are some of the changes and non changes I'd like to see.

Wynn for Grant (I like them both, but Wynn is far more talented) and 20 carries a game.

Colledge needs to stay at LG until Clifton retires and I'm not even so sure about that, but LG for sure. We felt that Spitz was better than Wells at C, and Colledge was better than Spitz at LG. So why did we weaken TWO spots PLUS the LT position at the same time? I'd prefer to use Lang and let the kid show us what he can do. And if he gets ran over, well, so is Colledge! And then we just run to the right or bootleg to the right a bit more. The OL shuffle = LOSE

Bishop for Barnett, I'm tired of the samari I want to see a sledge hammer.

Nelson/Tramon for Blackmon on returns and get rid of Blackmon, too injury prone for my tastes now.

More blitz's from the defense. Against the Bears the defense was fucking exciting to watch because you could see the defenders roaming around damn near taunting the QB. Now? Everyone is sitting still waiting for the snap. I prefer the aggressive nature instead of the reactive nature.

Rodgers, STOP HOLDING ONTO THE BALL SO LONG! I know you're freaked out when you count to 4 and still haven't gotten laid out, but shit bro chuck that shit away!

We should have Brandon Jackson and Atari Bigby back after the BYE week. That should make us better.

Wynn has an injury and as people said, can't catch.

Bump him.

Move Lumpkin up.

I'd like to see the Packers split the carries in the backfield in general. Grant hasn't performed to his contract for a year and a half now (rating him by his yards per carry). Despite Wynn's reasonably stout blocking on third downs, I'd prefer Jackson to be back there when fit because he can actually catch the football.

Other than that I agree with Bishop for Barnett, I can't remember Barnett making too many plays this season, in fact I've seen him run over numerous times.

I'd like to see Kampman rushing with his hand down a fair few times every game.

Maybe Giordano at safety, I've got no idea how good he is, but he can't be worse than Martin looked last night. To be honest, Bush didn't look too bad back there, even though I still think he's a better corner than safety.

You didn't read did ya? He's got a bum wrist now and as others have pointed out, can't catch.

Recap, bum limb, can't catch = good bye. :)

Although, it's probably best to stand pat until we have some solid OL play first THEN worry about who should be running the ball. I'd just prefer to see someone else get some carries at the RB position. They won't give many to Grant, maybe they'll give them to someone else??? lol

I just do not know!!

If they won't give Grant 20 carries, put someone in that they will give 20 carries to ... I guess that's my main point. I just don't believe any RB can get it going on 10-15 carries on a regular basis. I think you need 20 or more to get into a good grove for the RB and the OL.

It is and I explained why the drastic change. Heck, I didn't say it made sense! lol

I said it better in my post previous to this regarding the RB position.

Haha ok.

Anywho, I'm really looking forward to BJackson returning. Hopefully his return will bring back some of the focus to the running game. He seems to specialize in the screens/dump off passes, along with a good change of pace from Grant. Maybe with him in there it will make things easier for grant to get going.

Of course, this is all for nothing if our offensive line continues to play like garbage. That needs to be changed first and fore-most.

Geez here I thought I was the only one on these boards with these opinions/feelings (made a whole thread last week about the above also - only got a few responses.)

Concerning grant, barnett, jackson/wynn and a new return guy.

To be honest I liked Mike McCarthy play calling alot more in this game then some of his others. Meaning more screens and short passes to stop the pressure.
It was a start ...

-edit- if jackson is gtg; I agree with the part about bumping wynn; lets get woodhead from the jets practice squad (ya Im going to keep hammering that till I see a good back on our team). (btw this guy returns well also).

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

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.

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.
