Cadmus Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 2 minutes ago, Packerraymond said: It's 100% blocking and the fact that Jones wasn't healthy. It's people making a mountain out of an ant hill regarding the splits. It's also people vastly underrating Jamaal Williams. Jones got two starts with Aaron and one where Hundley and the offense was a relative unknown. Every start Williams made it was known there was nothing to fear of our pass game. You're just a Jamaal Williams apologist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that's a back that you can pound into the ground every week and he'll pop back up. Jones is a 150 carry a year + 50 receptions guy. No way I count on him as a lead dog, too small and injury prone. Jones is our Dion Lewis and Jamaal is Blount/Ridley/Burkhard. Jamaal isn't going to make all the explosive plays, but he's going to run north and south, get you 4 yards, be adequate in the receiving game, elite in pass pro and most importantly he'll take the body blows. Soften them up with Williams and then run Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Honestly, IMO Jamaal Williams = Edgar Bennett, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them have similar careers here, which is taking nothing away from Williams because Bennett was a heck of a player here and I think Williams will be as well. I just think Jones has that Ahman Green element to this game, especially on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want Morrison on early downs and I want Josh Jackson brought in as the "dime backer." Play him in the slot and on the TE with Jaire on Taylor Gabriel. Rotate him around with Tramon and mix up the looks. Going to be on the DL to stop Howard, if they can do that and get some push I feel real good about our DBs getting their hands on some Trubisky BALLS. Fixed...

Looking forward to the game and having a healthy Rodgers to watch again this year Our run defense is not a problem. It's getting off the field on third down. Hopefully Pettine's got an answer. MitchT is going to pull a Jay Cutler and have two TDs for each team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was quite explosive in the Pittsburgh game last year and can develop into a complete back if he can stay healthy. I think this year will be a breakout year for him; again, if he stays healthy.

I say Fackrell sucks and people are up in arms like I hate the Packers. I say Jones is (going to be) great and people get mad.... Fine, none of our players are bad and none are great.....they are all just average-to-good. That's kind of true here lol. But you said Jones turns 2 yard runs into 20. I have secretly been waiting to pretend Jones gets 20~ more yards per carry. C'mon, it's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine with me if Williams plays a lot of passing downs and has a few runs to keep em honest, but no way Jones should be getting under 10 touches when he's our 2nd or 3rd most explosive player.

I want him in the playoffs too. I just don't see him as a guy who can handle 15+ touches every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a game plan that calls for 30 rushing attempts in the first 3 quarters, sure go ahead and fire up Williams. Otherwise I don't see the need to give him entire drives.
