Josh Jacobs facing charges…

Oh yeah @rmontro i didn’t mean you were sorry about that . I think we’re on better terms than that. I was just kinda posing that as a generic question. Probably shouldn’t have replied to a post it makes it look directed at you. Not meant that way at all.

No worries, I didn't take it that way at all, or feel targeted. Perhaps I'm the one who should have been more clear.

It is hard to know what to make of this. And it is very difficult for the Packers as well. I am sure everyone wishes that the truth will set us free. Suppose they just suspend him now. I imagine the Packers had to consult the League and the Legal Departments, too. If he is convicted it is a done deal. If he is acquitted we are looking at not only back pay but some major lawsuits because PT is paramount to an NFL player since the life span is so short. A year or two out of the sport can essentially end someones career or greatly subtract from future performance.
It is safe to say that although Paul Hornung came back to play 3 more seasons with the Packers after his suspension, and they were not bad years, it is safe to say that he was not the same player he was before. The one year of age was not the difference but the absence of game repetition and conditioning certainly had a major impact.

Could the same be said about Lloyd? He was not suspended. He is still young. He has basically missed 2 full years of football. What do the Saints want for Alvin Kamara?

Yes, Lloyd is as much a question mark for other reasons. Very difficult for the coaches and the front office. Historically, the need creates opportunity. It will be there for the taking if someone wants it.

In 2007 the Packers lost Ahman Green in free agency to Houston. The story was that TT left us with no running game and Favre would be throw, throw, throw. In fact we were throwing the ball at the one yard line. But a number of weeks into the season Ryan Grant, a Giant castoff, emerged as a feature back and had a very good season. I hope we can put a name to it this year as well.

That’s a great example. He was a 3rd string RB from Liberty University a year earlier. Came in and has a couple hundred yard games if I recall. Anyway great example of a no name player who can come in moments notice and contribute.

Pierre Strong is one of my leading candidates out of the UDFAs to push for a spot, but likely only happens if we keep 4 RBs which is doubtful but I strongly feel he will get call ups this year off the PS.

Excellent RAS, 4th rounder in 2022 that I had as a Day 3 target then....Has seen time with Patriots who drafted him and then Cleveland in 2023 and 2024 before us...He's put up 499 yards on the ground in 99 attempts at a 5.0 Yards per carry clip...he also in 2024 showcased a little third down pass threat being targeted 22 times, 14 receptions and 104 yards.
