I don't understand starks. Some games he hits the holes so amazing and others like today and last week it's like he put beer goggles on..


Starks doesn't run as low as Grant that's why he doesn't hit the holes like Grant for one and other he's still developing his true skills yet imo. Grant has way better field vision imo also ,but their both great backs in there own way!

It's because Starks doesn't have great vision, so when there's no defined hole in the zone blocking scheme, he has trouble finding his cut.



Something I didn't know - Woodson is now tied with Sharper for second most INT returns all time at 11, one shy of tying Rod Woodson for 1st all time.

Favorite stat of the season so far - only five QBs have more TDs than the Packers' defense has INTs.

Grant cleared to play against Atlanta already. Driver expected to miss some practice, but will play Sunday. Haven't heard anything on Bulaga yet.

I don't expect an update until late Tuesday or sometime before practice on Wednesday. He should be fine though.

As much as you guys may be worried about the Line, I think it will be fine because Newhouse is playing lights out. He could be the future LT if Sherrod can't do it if and when Clifton gets hurt/retires. I'm just saying but he looked pretty good the last two games for just being thrown in there.

Not worried about the line as much as I am about Starks. Sacks are going to happen, but more of them are on the backs than the line, tbh. And we all know Starks can't pass block to save his life. I'd like to see Aaron hit a little less, but as long as he's healthy, no complaints here.

My worries are all on the secondary right now, especially Shields. He has completely lost the ability to tackle.

Same the defense especially the secondary scares me atm. I dont want to have to outscore everyone we play.
