[QUOTE="7thFloorRA, post: 515019, member: 3717"] You don't need a stud back. You need a back that can contribute in the passing game. The packers have had a huge problem with getting the backs into the passing game under MM. One of the greatest plays many teams use involves keeping the back in for a moment for protection if needed and then letting him float 7 or so yards down the middle of the field and catching a wide open pass. This is how you counter teams that have everyone back in coverage. Many of the Packers attempts at passing to the running back involve them shooting out to the wing and catching a ball for no gain or not catching it at all. It all seems so forced. Rodgers and the running backs look very uncomfortable playing catch. Their bodies are never in the right position for them to catch the ball in stride. There is also no screen game to speak of and hasn't been for years. I don't know why MM does not like to use the skilled running backs in the passing game. He lets Kuhn do it but he nets 3 yards at best. Watch how the bears utilize Forte. He isn't anything special but they get a ton out of him. Their offensive line blows or at least used to and he still would chip and go out for a pass. [/QUOTE]
