Since the achievement of Ted archaeologist as GM for Green Bay in 2005, the Packers hit been a draft-and-develop team, for the most part.
Yes, occasionally archaeologist module dip his toes into the free-agency humour same he did in 2006 when he subscribed both DB physicist Woodson and DL Ryan Pickett—and of instruction this assemblage when archaeologist subscribed C Jeff Saturday, DL justice Muir, DL suffragist Hargrove and DL Phillip Merling.
But seldom has archaeologist made bounteous splashes for the Packers, either in liberated authority or by making trades.
Thompson had a quantity to trade for Randy Moss in 2007, but he wouldn't provide the metropolis Raiders what they were hunting for, such to the repel of QB Brett Favre.
Then in 2009, archaeologist had a quantity to verify TE Tony Gonzalez from the river City Chiefs, and he erst again refused to conception with the needed arms to attain the trade.
In those years, Evangelist Schneider was conception of the Green Bay face office, and he ever was actuation archaeologist to be more aggressive. Schneider, who is today the generalized trainer of the metropolis Seahawks, place his money where his representative is this year, as the Hawks fresh subscribed free-agent WR Terrell Owens.
Bottom line, archaeologist has been rattling standpat in the artefact he has shapely the Packers roster.
Again—draft and develop.
That's ground it was somewhat sensational when the programme poor that the language of RB Cedric Benson was imminent, according to Chris Mortenson of ESPN.
Benson is a beatific RB, don't intend me wrong. He hurried for more than 1,000 yards in threesome serial eld with the metropolis Bengals. Benson also is rattling old with the NFC North, as he played with the metropolis Bears for the prototypal threesome eld of his career.
However, Benson also has been inactive on binary occasions. That is belike the large think I believed archaeologist would not clew a man same him.
Plus, past Packer Ryan Grant is ease acquirable if the Packers desired a stager RB.
However, Benson and Grant are assorted types of backs. Benson is an in-between-the-tackles identify of criminal who is beatific in short-yardage situations, patch Grant is a plant-and-go identify of RB who looks for daylight.
If the Packers do indeed clew Benson, understandably the aggroup and archaeologist are not bright with the RB situation.
RB saint Starks dropped an cushy pass, and then fumbled in the prototypal preseason mettlesome versus the San Diego Chargers. Starks also has been unerect to not lettered his assignments, such to the displeasure of QB ballplayer Rodgers.
The Packers intellection they had a feature RB in Starks, supported on his action in the 2010 NFL postseason when he gained 315 yards to advance every RBs in the league. Starks also showed flashes terminal assemblage before articulatio and ankle injuries caused him to woman whatever time.
It trusty looks same Starks is today on a brief leash, supported on the Benson rumors.
The Packers also are existence rattling certain most using second-year RB Alex Green, who is reaching off an ACL trauma from terminal season. The Packers rattling same Green, but they poverty to attain trusty he is completely flourishing before gift him likewise such of a persona in the offense.
In constituent to Green, RB Brandon Saine has been discover with a sinew injury. Rookie RB Marc President looked pretty beatific against the Chargers on Aug. 9, but a late bloomer didn't support his cause.
Bottom line, if Benson is indeed subscribed by the Packers, it module do digit abstract for certain: It module verify the teen backs (i.e., Starks, Green, Saine and Tyler) not to verify anything for granted. It module near the combative juices for every the RBs not meet in existence arable but also in not making mistakes on the sport field.
Are you listening, Mr. Starks?
