CMike couldn't learn the playbook and was inconsistent with his ability to pick up his blocking assignments, jeff janis of running backs. I still see us going after a veteran as i don't trust 3 rooks with the starting job.


Starting job is supposed to be T-Mont's no?

Kind of hard to say. Lot of Packers fans are excited about him but he has a tiny sample size. Only 1 game with more than 10 carries. He's got a few big carries but there really isn't enough there to be confident that he can be a feature back.

Ideally, he would be used in a similar role to last season, perhaps splitting out wide a bit more often to create mismatches with our TE's and the opposing secondary. The more he's used regularly in the backfield, the less likely he'll make it through the season. Regardless of who makes the team, we'll have a rotational backfield aka RB by committee

sure he might get the title "starter" but i'd imagine the hard nose running and blocking will be someone else's duty whereas he's catching passes and running sweeps.

I hope they keep Ty in the backfield as much as they did last season. It worked extremely well. If he split out for a pass it was a mismatch and if he ran the ball and got outside he broke off huge chunks of yardage.

I am excited to see these rookies in the rotation.

He'll have to do it some. Otherwise he's always predictable

For Kazium:

Mike McCarthy on undrafted free-agent quarterback Taysom Hill of BYU: "He belongs." Packers likely will take four QBs into the offseason program and training camp.

Which rookie are you guys rooting for? 5th round-Undrafted.

The way DeAngelo Yancey interviews makes me root for the guy, seems like a super down to earth dude and just a Packer guy. Out of a talent perspective, I can't wait to see what Malachi Dupre can do. I haven't looked into the UDFA yet, been working my tail off this week.

All the ones who start the season on the practice squad but due to injury inevitably end up starting for half the season.
