Using Bell as a comparison, Monty is 9 lbs lighter and an inch shorter. Bell had 336 touches in 12 games last year. He already has 65 touches this year. I think 300 touches is about perfect for a number 1 RB. Just need the production to be a little better. Difference in being big in size vs knowing how to take hits without feeling the full impact of it. Monty is relearning how to be an RB. Bell was also bigger in college...237#. Very used to taking hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hopefully he is open to change as Monty has to be gassed and we need other options honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I have to believe MM understands that Monty can't keep this snap/touch rate up all season. I just hope that Jones gets a legit shot at RB2 rather than just defaulting to Williams because of his draft position. Jones looked like the only rookie with any real burst in pre-season.

The problem is Williams is the only one that can block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Monty's poor blocking hasn't stopped MM from riding him exclusively, so I don't really know how much stock MM is putting the RB blocking at this point. I'm not even sure how Jones could be significantly worse than Monty as a blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jones/Mays have an edge anywhere, it's as a runner, and the edge isn't big if it's even there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when Rodgers is your QB, you have to lean slightly in the way of the best blocking RB, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty is the best overall player and has a skill set that theoretically fits the best. Williams is probably the most traditional fit. The other kids are just kind of bodies at this point.

Mazrimiv Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 In truth, I'm not overly concerned about who Monty splits the RB reps with. I just want to see some kind of normal timeshare at the position rather than Monty taking on such a heavy workload. Monty will be a wreck in December if this current workload continues throughout the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packer_ESP Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I'd like to get in the Jones for HOF bandwagon if there's any room left. I thought Williams would be the one but he displayed an uncanny ability to run into the highest body count possible, so I'm kinda losing faith. I don't think MM is one to be swayed by single games if he doesn't see what he wants to see during practice, so if Monty / Williams are healthy next week I don't expect Jones to play a lot.

In the mm presser, he said he found out a lot about our young guys. Guessing Jones showed mm that hes a gamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could've sworn Andre was told to run TOWARDS the defenders rather than away from them. Kind of the worst version of Marion Barber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to go with the hottest hand, and that is Jones right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hopefully Jones gets a little more patient. He started out great by turning the inside run to the right side of the line and busting it outside but after that I thought he may have been a little too aggressive in just pushing forward. He has that sudden stop/start that I really love in a RB that Williams and Montgomery seem to lack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
