Packers 2014 - Running Backs!! And Don't Forget Aaron Rogers!

OK, as of March 18. 2014 - Packer Running Backs….

Starting at running back -
Eddie Lacy.  Age(23)
2013 Rookie of the Year!
1178 Yards - 11 TD's - 19 carries per game!
Love Lacy's running style!  He has that punishing style that makes tackling a long day!  He also seems to have a nose for the end zone & the 1st down marker!!  1000 yards!!

Back-up to Lacy…

James Starks Age (28)
493 yards - 3 TD's - 5.5 yards per carry (one of the leagues best!)  A great change of pace with his own unique style!  Like Lacy, he can be a punishing runner!!

DuJuan Harris  Age(25)
Started two games last year and looked great!  Ran like hard!  Small, but runs wild!!!!

Jonathan Franklin Age(24)
Looked quick & elusive!  Had that one 100 yard game, but some fumble issues!  But, seems to have something the Packers need!  STOP FUMBLING!!!

OK Packer Fans!  You are Mike McCarthy & you have these 4 running backs & Aaron Rogers!  How do you creatively use this talent?  Mike, if you are surfing the internet, and find my Blog, here are some creative ideas!!!

1 - A heavy dose of Eddie Lacy!!!  And, play action passing game for Rogers!!!!

2 - Do not kill Lacy's legs!  James Starks, DuJuan Harris, should all run the ball!!!

3 - Special formations!  Right now the TE position is OK with Quarless & Bostick, but not fantastic!  I would use the running backs in your passing formations when you go 4 receivers!  Especially Harris & Franklin!!!

4 - Quick screens - Harris & Franklin!

5 - Reverses, Lacy with Harris & Franklin.  At lea
st FAKE, the reverse so teams must respect the back side!

6 - Two back offense?  Look at the possibilities!
Lacy & Starks - punishing!!!
Lacy & (Franklin & Harris)  Thunder & Lightning!!

The offensive line looks strong!  The receivers are great - Cobb-Nelson-Boykin(And I like the young ones - Dorsey, White, Harper & others!)  Maybe sign TE Owen Daniels & draft one rounds 3 & 4?

AND STAY HEALTHY!!!
