Aaron Jones, you sold me. He's good, not ready to say hes great though. Williams, I just dont see it. who said he played well Sunday? I sure didn't see it.Sure, he had a couple tough runs but 3 ypc? That's not good. Williams was averaging well into 4 yo if you take out final drive losses he had. I'm plenty content with the group of 3 we have. Cheap and effective enough.

Perfect example of box score scouting. Which doesn't mean he hadn't been terrible. He had. He was running through contact and finding some spots. Dude's fine.

Spartacus Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I was actually pretty impressed with Williams growth since we first saw him. He doesn't look like he has the vision of Jones but he looks like he can break some tackles and his vision was much better the last game. Interesting to see what he can do with another game starting.

I like your opinion of Williams. He does look much more comfortable and he did show he has talent. It looks like TT did hit on the mid-round RB's in the draft which is actually surprising to me, a welcome surprise. It's been a long long time since the Packers have had this much RB depth.

Pugger Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 It will be interesting to see Mays - if he plays this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having an elite RB is nice, but I think it's a luxury especially if that's a position we want to minimize spending at. If we can save several million at that position, it frees the Packers up to spend elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones... looks like he could be better than average but the book is still out. Think we’ll see Mays this weekend and he may put Williams back on the bench if he played like pre season.

ThatJerkDave Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I was more impressed with Williams in the Bears game than I had been with him since we drafted him. Mays was active against the Saints(?) but did not play. Let's see if he gets some work against Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He averaged 3.333 per carry in the 3rd quarter and 3.364 per carry in the 4th. He did have 5 carries of between 5-7 yards and still only averaged 3.35 for the game. I do give him credit for running tough but we have a full back that can do that. To me, so far, he’s just a guy and a below average back in the long run. I just don’t see it yet.

Mazrimiv Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I was concerned about the RB situation heading into week 1, but today I feel OK about moving fwd with the current group. Hopefully MM will eventually start using Monty in a more Woodhead/Burkhead like role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
