Well.....truth is....we need someone that can gain more then 2 yards. Yes, Grant got yards at the end of the game. But did NOTHING when the game was still on the line. And it's been that way all year. He just runs into the blockers and goes down. I REALLY thought he was gonna be something good.
Looks like it's not that way though.

It's amazing what consistent carries can do for a running game isn't it? End of the game, Lions knew we'd run, but we did it over and over and we get yards.

Yes, more me preaching we need MORE carries to have a running game before we can bitch about not having one. Give the running game a chance before burying it.

I agree with this. I just looked back at the drive summaries from the game and any time Grant got stopped for no gain or a loss, McCarthy completely abandoned the run for the rest of the drive. This happened three times before garbage time when Grant gained most of his yardage. I'm not saying Grant is going to add another 3 or 4 ypc if McCarthy gives him the ball more, but it's kind of hard to complain about the running game when you don't give it a chance to gather any steam.

Ahman Green was my favorite player. I want him back so I can wear his jersey again. Green didn't do good away from green bay because hes only good as a packer.

Maybe there is some truth behind the "RUMOR" of trading for Jackson

This is the Packers way of thinking, we need more in here and before we do the Jackson deal lets see what else is around

Or they are going to trade some RB depth for another position, so they need to replace the depth there. They've got Lumpy on the PS, though.
What we need is a third down guy who can CATCH THE BALL.
Screens. Dump offs.

I agree with Zero to a point..

But I think another factor is that the Lions knew the game was over, so their effort was not there a sit was in the beginning..

Plus Lang was in there. Cliffy can't run block to save his life. Maybe they knew Lang couldn't pass protect. The official explanation is that they wanted to run out the clock.

I think Dominic Rhodes could be a good pick-up. It's not happening, but I would be so stoked if we got Steven Jackson. I'd be jumping up and down for joy. [-o<

McFadden is a guy that I think could become special with a change of scenery. He seems really injury and fumble prone though.

Lost 3 fumbles in 160 carries. Not the greatest by any stretch.
Injury prone? He's in his second year and played in 13 games last season and started four games this year.

People so quick to label the hate, damn.

    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) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.
    Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

    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) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
    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 (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
