OK, let's analyze this!
First, "It has to be better!!!" Last year stats?
Name Attempts Yards Yds/Att Long TD's
Alex Green 135 464 3.4 41 0
Cedric Benson 71 248 3.5 11 1
James Starks 71 255 3.6 22 1
Aaron Rogers 54 259 4.8 27 2
DuJuan Harris 34 157 4.6 21 2
Ryan Grant 31 127 4.1 18 2
John Grant 23 63 2.7 9 1
Randall Cobb 10 132 13.2 28 0
That will not scare anyone! Injuries! Longest run 41 yards! Most TD's 2! Leading rusher - 464 yards!
Not very good! So, "Is has to get better!"
Second, "Is has to get better!" - New running backs!
Eddie Lacy, Jonathan Franklin, & Angelo Pease! Young legs! Lacy, with power & speed! Franklin, a break away threat! Wouldn't it be nice to have a 60-70 yard run for a TD! And Green, Starks, & Harris to push the rookies! Like the depth! Like the fresh legs! Like the possibilities!
Third, Coach is excited! "Is has to get better!"
You can feel the vibes to "RUN" the ball! How about a running back running for 100 yards in a game, let's say 8 of 16 games! Play action passing! Rogers, fakes to Lacy, fires to Finley for a TD! Rogers fakes to Franklin, throws deep to Cobb for 6 points!!! And less sacks! Rogers MUST stay healthy! The d-line on the opposing team cannot just aim for Rogers!!
So, the Packer running game - "Is has to get better!"
