Tony Brown is a real good find. Greene played well also. They will always and forever be the SeaChickens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I legitimately want to know who said that. Despite Aaron Jones (4.56) and Eddie Lacy (4.64) having a similiarish 40 yard dash time, they have have a massive difference in 10 yard split (1.51 for Jones, 1.65 for Lacy) and 3-cone (6.82 for Jones, 7.33 for Lacy). There's little doubt that Aaron Jones is significantly quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's little doubt that Aaron Jones is significantly quicker. Pages 22-24 of this thread is where the discussion took place. The money quote: "Eddie had a tendency to run with DBs on his back for 15 yards, and may have been just as fast in the first 5 yards as Jones when in shape."

There's little doubt that Aaron Jones is significantly quicker. What's even more impressive is his ability to accelerate through the hole. I can't believe some of the creases he's able to find. Jones is one hell of a player. And so is MVS. Man, I give that guy all the props in the world for the improvement he's made in his route running and hands. He's caught the ball so cleanly... impressive stuff. The skill positions on offense are in a good place. Hopefully Tonyan can make a 2nd year leap as well.

Sasquatch Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 There’s no question in my mind that GB has enough pieces on offense to be very good. The pieces are there. Use them, and use them well - that’s an area for improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's little doubt that Aaron Jones is significantly quicker. I seriously believe this, Lacy was something special. His ability to stop, jump cut, and go for a man his size was incredible. Part of it may be that Jones is good enough with his vision that he never is forced to come to that complete stop and restart, but when Jones stops his feet, his feet tend to stay stopped. I don't know much about Jones in high school, but Lacy didn't have a track background. That matters with those times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future looks very bright, for both the offense and defense. Add some discipline and solid game planning and you have a dang solid team moving forward.

Everything I see out of Aaron Jones is he is the first legitimate speed back in Green Bay since well I can't remember. Rob DemovskyVerified account @RobDemovsky Aaron Jones hit a max speed of 21.33 MPH on his 67-yard run, the fastest top speed by a Packers ball carrier in the last 3 seasons according to NFL Next Gen Stats. https://es.pn/2QzNkPy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Lacy was pretty quick for his size, and if he could’ve managed his weight better, he would’ve had a long and successful career in this league I think. Jones is quick also, and his vision is just downright impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
