I think as long as Jackson proves he can run the ball well he will be the starter. Picking up blitzes won't get him on the bench in my opinion. It's just a flaw the Pack will have to live with. Meaning Morency won't start a game in my opinion.
However I did read Morency had a heck of an off season so maybe when he gets back he'll continue with that.
Jackson is terrible at picking up blitz's. Probably Herron.

Do you think that he is going to stay healthy all year? Or do you think even if Jackson does get hurt that it will be Herron will be the #2 RB?
Well I think we will have a bad season regarding RB´s I dont expect Morency nor BJ to get more than 300-400 yards, I wont be surprised to find both on IR before week 5 or 6.... Just my 2 cents..

This is one of the more ridiculous statements I've heard here in a while. Not only do you leave out why both will be terrible (injuries do not count), you also fail to mention someone that will step up. You basically cut our total run yards in half without any details or facts.
I am hoping Morency can carry half the load. His ypc was decent last year, granted it was behind Ahman. But if Jackson and Morency are splitting time, I don't see why this would drop too much. We will have more answers after the first couple of preseason games.

With how secretive the Packers are being about Morency's injury, do you think they are clouding it for a reason? For say, because of a potential trade?
I'm not saying they ARE, I'm just throwing it out there.
If other teams new our 'projected' starter at HB was injured, they'd know the Packers are in a bit of a squeeze and could cost the Packers in the trade.
Before the injury they may have been able get only a 4th rd for the player to be traded where as if they know Morency is out for a month or more, the ball is in their court and they can say we want a 3rd rd or nothing.
I think there's a lot better chance that Morency will start every game and get every carry than there is of the Packers making any sort of major moves to shore up the position yet this offseason/season.
