[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 685125, member: 9033"] I'm REALLY hoping that McCarthy lets Montgomery play the majority of snaps at RB and not Knile Davis. Montgomery is a very versatile player that can really put a defense in a bind with his versatility; like the Patriots with Vereen or Dion Lewis. Some seem to believe that Montgomery at RB is similar to playing Cobb at RB but Montgomery has almost 30lbs on Cobb and is really built like a RB. Davis has a career average yards per carry of 3.3 and it's not like you can blame the offense he was playing on for the terrible average; if anything it should tell you a lot about his actual running ability that he only averaged 3.3 yards per carry on an offense that appears to be able to churn out great runners. Plus, Davis isn't nearly the threat to catch the ball out of the backfield. Putting Davis in allows the Falcons to stay closer to a base defense which is not good considering Neal, one of their better secondary players, is basically a young Kam Chancellor; if the Packers put Montgomery in the game you have a good chance of forcing Neal to cover Montgomery one-on-one in the passing game, which is a major advantage for the Packers. Montgomery forces the defense to commit to more coverage players or more front-seven guys and that gives the offense a lot more flexibility. As for the defense, I'm really not holding out a ton of hope for stopping the Falcons so much as I'm just hoping that the Packers can keep the Falcons to field goals. Packers defense is going against the most physically dominant receiver in the NFL. Gunter, stature-wise, should allow the Packers to play decent defense against Jones in the red zone, where Jones' huge advantage in speed won't be as devastating, but the issue is going to be making sure that Jones doesn't hit the big play.
