[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 790132"] He's been injured. A lot. There may be residual affects. He may be making adjustments to protect himself. And the O-Line and Graham have not been helping matters any. It's still early, but his chances will be going down. He looks good running routes, though. McCarthy has never been keen on keeping backs in to block. In some past seasons, 6 a game from all the running backs would have been on the high side. Necessity is the mother of invention, I suppose. Lets break that 17 down a little. Williams has taken 114 snaps (55.3%). He's run the ball 36 time, which leaves 78 pass play snaps. So he's thrown a block on 22% of his pass plays assuming that unvetted 17 count is correct. As for those other 61 pass plays, a certain percentage would be staying in to spy the blitz, seeing none, then releasing. Those snaps would not be included in the 17 but nontheless relevant. Then there are chip blocks in the release? Are those included? Montgomery is not a good blocker at all. He often picks up the wrong guy or doesn't get squared up. Last season, Jones showed he was good on effort but poor on technique. He has a habit of dipping a shoulder into the guy or gets pushed off his point when he squares up. I checked to see if arm length or hand size might be an issue causing him to shoulder block, but that's not it. His arm length measured 32 1/2" which is very long for a guy 5'9" and in fact long for running backs in general and his hand size is decent at 9+ inches. Since going after the guy that matters most is Job #1 (no free runs at the QB, please), I'd grade Jones over Montgomery, but still not anthing I'd call "good". Of course many running backs don't block very well so that's about par for the course. With Rodgers mobility limited and O-Line issue, I would not think now is the time to discount the value of pass blocking. And we've yet to see Jones run against a defense that had much interest in stopping it. If he gets a hot hand he'll see more ball. [/QUOTE]
