kick out throws and a few cobb runs will take some of the load off the rb’s

Dujaun Harris is a small, change of pace kind of back.
Though I’ve enjoyed watching him carry the rock in a few spot runs here and there, I wouldn’t expect him to have the same kind of production with a heavier workload.
Look to see a lot of Ryan Grant, holding on to the football (Please!). And working himself into game shape.
With a few Harris and Kuhn runs sprinkled in.

If they don’t mind a few fumbles, Mendenhall can probably be had for close to nothing.

Harris is capable, and this game is a good chance to show what he’s got.

That said, the Packers could play the whole game with an empty backfield and it’d still be a blowout.

yeah, Culpepper had a couple of pretty good seasons (heck of a season in 04) …
shame his knees got messed up and his work ethic wasn’t as strong as Brees/McNabb/Peyton.

I’m not sure Woodson – who is one of my favorite all time players, is racing to get back. At some point you got to figure he’s decided hey this is the last year, why go out and get beat up again when I pretty much missed the biggest part of the season.
I think he is hoping to hold out until playoff time and then that will be his swanson as they say.

A “swanson” is a TV dinner, a Swan Song is for quitters ready to walk away from it all, Charles Woodson is neither!

It seems like the Packers have been short on running backs since the days of Brockington.

You forgot MacArthur Lane!
Eddie Lee Ivory and Gary Ellis were a pretty good pair with Eric “Rubber Legs” Torkelson sprinkled in. Edgar Bennett and Dorsey Levins were damned good!

You just described the exact opposite of Charles Woodson.

This is from a Vikings’ fan, a team who hasn’t had a qb since Tarkington and a SB never? Yes, I know, Favre, but he was a one year wonder rental.

Ever hear of Ahman Green, Edgar Bennett or Dorsey Levens?

I thought the subject was RBs but you went ahead and took a jab at QBs. Anywho…Daunte Culpepper rings a bell. At least when he had Randy Moss as a target.

Luckily, the Packers are also short on running plays.

Lost in all this…Why does Mason Crosby still have a job?

You’re so right. I wasn’t alive then, but Brockington and McCarthur Lane were pretty solid…other than Ahman Green, Packers had pretty weak running games since then.

I like Alex, but DuJuan has shown something in the past couple of weeks – I’m ok with him getting a majority of the early carries and them having Grant and Kuhn hammer away at them in the 4th Qtr.

No problem. Next man up, that happens to be DuJuan. He should have been getting more carries any way.

DuJuan Harris has some talent. We’ll be fine!!
