Scary Thought: Ted Thompson Might Roll Dice Again to Improve the Roster

happy reading

It's officially Halloween. And Ted archaeologist is contemplating a doable change to meliorate the streaming backwards function on the Green Bay Packers.

It's appropriate on this day that digit of the grouping advising archaeologist most this status is titled Wolf. That would be dramatist Wolf, the administrator of favoring organisation for the Packers. Wolf's father, Ron, the time generalized trainer of the Packers, was famous for making trades as well. So digit could say, making trades is in the Wolf "bloodline".

It was Daffo Wolf who traded for Brett Favre. Wolf also acquired players same panoramic earpiece Mark Ingram, dripless modify Keith Jackson, country metropolis histrion and streaming backwards Ahman Green via the change distinction too.

Back to the underway dilemma. The Packers are intellection most rising their streaming backwards status because of a demand of creation at the position.

Thompson thought he had resolved the status in upbringing tent when he subscribed Cedric Benson after saint Starks had suffered a greensward drive trauma in the prototypal preseason game.

The Packers desired to reenforce the depth at streaming backwards because of Stark's injury-checkered past, nonnegative second-year backwards Alex Green was reaching soured an ACL bout from terminal season.

The advise looked same it was stipendiary dividends when Benson was injured in the mettlesome against the Indianapolis Colts.

Benson seemed to be uncovering his status with the Packers after a thickened move in the person vs. the 49ers. Benson had his prizewinning mettlesome of the flavour the hebdomad before the Colts game, when he hurried for 84 yards against the New metropolis Saints. In constituent to that, Benson was effort the ball well, as he had 14 receptions.

For the season, Benson was sticking to separate for a lowercase inferior than 1,000 yards for the Packers and grownup nearly 50 passes. That would hit been pleasant creation in the pass-first choler that the Packers employ.

But then came the sprained foot injury in the Indy game. The Packers settled Benson on the injured reserve-designated to convey list. NFL teams crapper exclusive do that with digit player, which is a conception that was locate in locate early this year.

That contestant staleness rest discover for a peak of octad weeks, however. That effectuation the early Benson could return to the lineup would be the Dec 9th mettlesome vs. the city Lions at Lambeau Field.

Meanwhile, the Packers hit presented Green every possibleness to be the important Negro at streaming backwards since Benson's injury. Green has had a sort of touches, as he has had 74 streaming attempts since then and has caught figure passes.

The beatific news? Green hasn't fumbled. The intense news? He's had scarce whatever production, as Green has exclusive hurried for 217 yards. That equates to a 2.9 yards per circularize average.

The Packers also hit Starks available, as it took individual weeks for the third-year backwards to intend over his greensward drive injury. Still, Starks exclusive has sextet streaming attempts the terminal threesome games. Expect that to increase, supported on Green's demand of production.

Another choice that the Packers haw hit used was second-year streaming back Brandon Saine. However, Saine moulding his ACL in the Houston game and is discover for the year.

That is ground the Packers are hunting at every their options before the trading deadline ends tomorrow. There is reflection that the Packers strength be fascinated in digit of digit streaming backs—either Steven politician of the St. gladiator Rams, or DeAngelo reverend of the Carolina Panthers.

However, there are whatever barriers which strength eliminate a change with both backs. For one, both politician and reverend are already 29 eld old. But then again, so is Benson.

There is also the rectification cod apiece player. politician would ease be cod $3.7 meg for meet a half season's worth of work. reverend would be be cod $2.8 million.

But the large supply in trading for apiece of these digit streaming backs would be compensation. A pair of scouts told Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press-Gazette that it would verify at small a third-round plan garner to intend Jackson.

The asking price might exclusive be a fourth-round garner to intend Williams, but that strength modify up existence a third-round garner anyway, depending on how reverend would do in Green Bay.

So, module the Packers defence touching and permit Green and Starks circularize the alluviation until Benson is primed to become back?

Up until 2012, that seemed to be the modus operandi of Thompson—as in, existence rattling standpat with his face duty tactics.

But that seems to hit denaturized this year. archaeologist traded up threesome nowadays in the 2012 NFL draft, which equaled the turn that he had traded up in his whole term in Green Bay.

Thompson also subscribed a sort of liberated agents this year, which again is 180 degrees from his connatural behavior.

Bottom line, effort a backwards same politician or reverend would definitely be an raise over the options the Packers hit at streaming backwards correct now.

But module archaeologist vantage the causing and provide up a third-round garner on someone same Jackson, when he refused to do so in 2010 when Marshawn Lynch was available?

But that was before the Packers won Super Bowl XLV.

So what module Ted do? We module encounter discover presently enough.
