He would be the best coach they've had since that guy they let go to Tampa.

Tim Brown didn't coach silly

I'm all for anything that gets Gruden off MNF.

Bulls***. I like learning things every week. Like why each particular guy at each position on every single team is one of the best players in the league.

The #Packers and @RyanGrant25 have agreed to terms and the running back will sign with his old team this morning, per Grant.

 

 

If he gets hurt maybe they can bring back Ahman Green or maybe Jim Taylor.

Edgar Bennett is still available too.

Yeah, he's the WR coach. So he already knows the playbook. Just plug him right in.

What's Dorsey Levens up to these days?

Goodell floats idea for changing "kickoffs"

 

This was in the news a few months ago when Schiano mentioned it, but it's interesting that it seems the NFL is actually considering it. I actually don't necessarily hate it, but I don't know that I want to see kickoffs go away either

This has nothing to do with the current Packers, but I met Jim Taylor once at a charity golf tournament and he was an incredibly nice guy. We joked around a bit about me being a Bears fan among other small talk, and he even let me try on his Super Bowl ring. Really enjoyable guy to be around.

If kickoffs are so inherently injury-prone plays that it's not safe to have them anymore, then just eliminate them and give the other team the ball at the 25, or if you still want to keep the onside kick in play then just have kickoffs in the 4th quarter.

I honestly don't hate that idea at all.

Let's just eliminate all contact in football.

Basically changes it from a kickoff to a punt, really not a big deal, especially since touchbacks would be less likely in theory

Not gonna lie, I like it.

I cant think of a comparable example in another sport, this would change the game entirely. I have no actual stats, but I have to imagine that converting a 4-15 is much more likely than an onside kick.

Completely agree. It would also take away the surprise element that onside kicks can have (i.e Saints-Colts superbowl)

Couple of things,

 

Are they rushing the punter or is this like a safety?

 

If it is not like a safety are they kicking from the 30 or the 19?

 

How do you fake it?

How many fake punts do we see occur from a team's own 30 on 4th and 15. You have to think teams are going to look at it the same way.
