lol I thought you were just trying to truck with my head

I think Brandon Jackson is the future at Packers RB personally.

I think Ryan Grant's contract will be holding back BJ's oppurtunities though.

---

I wanna see a healty Grant AND Lumpkin next year.


If we keep Lumpkin that is, I hope we do.

---

Grant's contract ought to do the opposite, because it's full of incentives. But limiting a guy's carries just so he doesn't earn incentives is dirty pool. On the other hand, limiting his carries because the #2 guy is just as good, and is a great change of pace, is fine. I still can't figure out why McCarthy is so stuck on this one-back system.

My problem with the Green Bay running game is that when we play a team that is good at shutting the run down, we don't stick with running long enough. I understand that we have to ge the first downs, but I'd like to see the running attack we had under Lombardi, where it didn't matter who you played because it was about execution not what players were there.

I like all our running backs because each brings a little something different to the table. The problem is that none of them have really arrived yet, but they are young. Wynn needs to get in shape though. I thought he was pulling a trailor on that long one against the Kitties.

---

There's probably some remembering of how awful our running game was when we weren't a one back running team. We didn't start to have a run game until we selected Grant and used him as our primary RB.

---

The big plays were really absent in a number of games this year, but what also hurt his YPC and total yardage were the negative runs, which there seemed to be a TON of. Blame for that can fall on a lot of people, from the O-line to Grant himself, to the coaches calling the plays, and even to Rodgers not recognizing the run blitzes that blew up so many of Grant's runs. I think the big plays will come next season. I'm not so worried. What I want to see are the corrections to prevent so many negative runs. Those really limit our play calling and probably stalled a heaping handful of drives throughout the year.

I am VERY curious to see who our starting O-line will be next season. Sitton has a good change to start, I think. And it's entirely possible we draft an OT at #9 if one of the big 3 falls to us.

If they give Brandon Jackson a legitimate shot next year, he is going to be pushing Grant hard for carries as well.

---

I think it's safe to say we won't be able to keep Grant, Jackson, Wynn and Lumpkin on the 53-man roster, and they certainly all won't be active in the same game even if we could. I've noticed a lot of support for both Wynn and Lumpkin on this site. What is the best strategy for retaining both of their services, and if that is not possible, who should stay?

---

I wouldn't put it past the staff to activate Grant, Jackson, Lumpkin and Wynn on a gameday. Wynn of course would be activated as a FB.

---

I don't believe we ever had three running backs activated in the same game last season. It seems to me kind of a risky move. What other position would you go light on to have that many backs active?
