He was great during the pre-season. I'd like to see him a battle a roster spot this year, and then over-take Grant as the starter. I loved watching him play.

Funny how you seem to forget about last season, and Grant had 1200 yards this year. I hate it when people think that Grant isn't starting material, when he's one of the premeir backs in this league.

I agree to an extent and disagree, Yes I agree Grant is Definitely starting material, This coming season he is going to fully establish that as long as he stays healthy IMO. I don't think he's a premier back in this league though at least not yet, Guys like Adrian Peterson, DeAngelo Williams, Michael Turner, etc were the real Premier backs this year, Grant isn't too far off but he needs to get his YPC back up and get some of those game breaking runs going again. Hopefully this coming season the offensive line finally takes that step in the runblocking department and we see a 1600-1800 yard rushing season from our backs.

Yes, I think a lot of the problem is our offensive line...

Just a little side note to the guys you named and that is they are all in pretty much a 2 back system. AP has Taylor that comes in on passing downs, Turner has Norwood, and Williams has Stewart.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

1200 yards isn't really that great when thats pretty much all you got at RB position. That comes out to about 75 yards a game. Thats not much.

Back when it was a 14 game season, 1200 yards was more impressive.
Also you have to consider how many 'big" game changing runs he had. I can't think of one this past season. Plus a low yards per carry average.
I'm not saying he;s lousy, just that his production didn't seem very good to me at least.

I think you misinterpreted my post there. I didn't mean Grant is not starting material, and I do think he should start next year. But in my post I meant Lumpkin would develop into a better back, because I like his running style, much more so than Grant's (not that I don't think Grant would is better or would give us a better chance to win)

He had some "game changing" runs. Against the Vikings in Week 1, he had that 50+ yard run that got us inside the 5 yard line which set up the deciding TD. Against the Bears, he had a 35 yard run at the beginning of the game which set the tone for the rest of the game.

Lumpkin looked great in Training camp. I went for a couple days last year and there was something about his running style that looked like he just belonged. He ran tough and kept his pad level low (just like Mike McCarthy likes). I had know idea who he was then but he definitely stood out the same way Jordy Nelson did.

GBs 1,2,3 will be Grant, Jackson, and Lumpkin. The only change to that would be if Ted picks somebody up and and beats him out of that #3 spot. RBs always get hurt so I could see Lumpkin showing us a thing or 2.

I could see Jackson beating out Grant for the #1 spot.
