Yea, it looked pretty serious at the time & with the other injuries, clouds up the North pretty good.

 

Screw!

There goes our running game.....

 

there's about to be a mad FF rush on Brandon Jackson

 

Article updated.....Grant has a torn ligament in his ankle and will be on crutches for 10-12 weeks. He'll also have a screw inserted into his lower leg.

Tough blow for the Pack.....

 

Good luck on this. I doubt he can replace Grant

 

do you think the pack will go after someone?

 

Ouch

 

Damn... 18 games FTL

 

There goes our season...I hope B Jax is able to handle this. From what ive seen hes fast and powerful as all hell. Hes got a lower body kind of like turner's...so we shall see.

 

willie parker?

 

Jackson is a stud. He doesn't have the vision that Grant does, but more talent overall. I see him having a rough start but picking it up every game.


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

Do you guys really think that little of Jackson that you'd want to go after Willie Parker???

 

The talent to run in to every random defender....

 

WHAT? Have you even watched the end of last year or this preseason dude!? Hes looked soooo much this preseason especially...his lower body is JACKED now too.. and he put up good numbers against the eagles on barely any touches. We should be fine

 

he had two decent runs against the Eagles on missed tackles. other than that he ran into players over and over.

he is almost as injury prone as bob sanders and he's a part time player. You can be sure the packers will sign someone soon.

 

Looks like we saw a different game, that he did

This

Dude, stop wearing this

 

Olly, you cannot blame me for giving him credit..hes better than anyone available to us at this point..unless we trade for someone which wont happen..and hes a VERY good pass blocking rb...way better than grant..Point is....Im just sick of everyone just bashing the packers for stupid crap EVERY year...Everyone this year was CRYING during the draft at us drafting defensive lineman...but if we hadnt..wed be in a much worse position now especially with jolly and harrell out, and jenkins in a club. Im sorry if i have hope for this team?

Theres definitely a difference between being hopeful and having confidence in our players...and wearing sunglasses. All i ever see from most people on here is negativity toward SOMETHING/Anything with the packers.. and them crying that the team isn't run right...

I bleed green and gold..win or lose, bad or good..not like the bandwagon patriot or viking fans


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

Also, most of the times he "RAN" into people..were on three and outs at the end of the game when we were just running to try and chew up clock..they knew we weren't throwing and wed most likely play safe like normal.


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

and when has he ever had a season ending injury? Or any amount of significant injuries like sanders? LOL at comparing him to sanders

 

When did he ever play a full season? Just because "hes better than anyone available to us at this point" doesn't mean crap.

Why did we keep Harrell? He's just another bust TT brought in and should have erased from the roster last season.

 

We kept harrel because of how much he was payed and what was invested in him...it would have made NO sense to cut him even with his injuries..because of his contract

I dont like thompson any more than you or the next guy..but you forget again that hes drafted rodgers, matthews, collins, jolly, and greg jennings..also signed woodson, pickett. among others. How can you say hes that bad when hes brought in so much amazing talent?

 

How about the roster spot? Would that make sense to you?

Harrell, Jackson, Brohm......
