[QUOTE="Incubes12, post: 315292, member: 1689"] I don't see anywhere that he said that. The way I see it is that, yes, we are a pass first team because we have a solid QB and a great WR corps. HOWEVER, when we face a stout defense like that of the Falcons, we simply cannot turn the ball over as much as we did with 1, 2, or 3 yards left to go to get the first down. You say that some key reasons that we lost are because of ST play and a Rodgers fumble. I can just as easily say those goal line carries SHOULD have gone to a RB who can punch it in for a yard, especially the 2nd sneak, which followed a failed sneak to begin with. In conclusion, no we don't need to go out and get a superstar and no we don't need to waste high draft picks on a proven back. BUT, we need someone we can call on to get a yard or two on 3rd down and I simply didn't see that on Sunday. When we get Finley back, we'll have that guy drawing coverage over the top. When we get Grant back, we'll have a consistent runner who can get us those tough yards. We can't do anything about the situation right now except sit back, relax and enjoy the Packer team that we have now. When Starks is healthy enough, lets give him some carries in fluffy games, just to see what he can do. Maybe give Nance some chances in tough yardage situations. Nevertheless, if people get excited about these possibilities, what's the use in giving everyone **** for it? [/QUOTE]
