[QUOTE="realoatesman, post: 250206, member: 1777"] Ok, I'm wondering about the healthy scratches on the O-Line and other areas. Does anyone know why Breno Giacomini, and Evan Dietrich-Smith were inactive? This has been two games in a row with no explanation that I can find. The O-Line is banged up and beat down. They even activated Jamon Merideth from the practice squad, which still only leaves 3 backups... Quinn Johnson, Brandon Underwood, and Brad Jones were also inactive. Idc about Underwood and Jones, but maybe Johnson could help out the atrocious running game. Other frustrations Desmond Bishop-MM talked last week about getting Bishop involved in the linebacker rotation. This guy is a huge playmaker and needs to see more time. Jeremy Thompson-Was picked to be the starter opposite Kampman until he missed time with a stinger. Now he doesn't see the field. What happened? Derrick Martin-OK I have no problem with this guy yet, but I am disappointed that we let go Anthony Smith who had a good enough preseason to challenge for the starting spot, and now we have Safety injuries. I hate when a good player like this gets traded for someone unproven. Like when John Ryan got traded for Derrick Frost...Smart move Recievers-The pack have arguably the best receiving corps in the entire league, so what's the problem? -Passes are getting dropped (2 weeks in a row and even from hands man Donald Driver) -Guys aren't getting Open (Granted Rodgers isn't getting enough time to throw, but even when he did, apparently there was no one open against the Bengals secondary which isn't bad necessarily but nowhere as good as the Packs practice partners. -Jennings getting shut out -This cannot happen. So maybe they shifted a safety over to his side quite a bit. I'm sure it happens with other teams number one receivers. Other guys have got to step up and the coaches have to design some plays to get him open!!! -Shifting the line-What did MM say at the beginning of the season?
