Ty Montgomery future

[WhatWouldDitkaDo]

Late 2nd / early 3rd. As far as I'm concerned, that GB backfield is pretty open. All of them are late 2nd dart throws, and you can spin Montgomery's "increased usage as a WR in 2018" as a positive or negative.

I am sure this is exactly the news all Montgomery, Jones & Williams owners wanted to hear.

The 9original story- http://www.espn.com/blog/green-bay-pack ... s-run-plan

The NFL always has been a copycat league, so don't be surprised if coach Mike McCarthy takes a page out of Payton's playbook. The Saints coach fielded the NFL's fifth-best rushing attack last season in large part because he blended veteran running back Mark Ingram with Offensive Rookie of the Year Alvin Kamara. It wasn't just your standard starter and third-down/change-of-pace combination; the two were essentially interchangeable, which kept defenses honest no matter which one lined up behind Drew Brees.

McCarthy certainly wasn't going to tip his hand when asked last week if he studied how the Saints used their backs and if it could be applicable to his offense.

"The fact of the matter is we're going to go running back by committee," he said during an interview at the conclusion of the offseason program. "But if one of them would emerge as that full-time guy then you have to have that ability to ... adjust to that. As far as planning and going into the season, that's why we're going about it that way. We feel like we've got three guys that have all done it, but they haven't done it over a long period of time, so I think it's just practical thinking from that position and realizing that it's a very demanding position."

This caught my eye- "But if one of them would emerge as that full-time guy then you have to have that ability to ... adjust to that."

If the Packers do copy the Saints 2017 I guess we just need to figure out which of the 3 is Adrian Peterson.

Yeah that was in the NFL copy also - I guess he is suggesting he is willing to give one of them a more featured role if they (a) deserve it and (b) dont get worn down with it

Yep, I was hoping there was more on that "lead back" point, maybe hiding in the dot-dot-dot part, so I read the full article. No dice. I don't see any of them seizing the full time role and the position being open for a guy like Ingram, David Johnson, Ajayi or some rookie to step into next year.

Adrian Peterson = Ty Montgomery (in that he will be the odd man out, not anything like AP)
Ingram = J.Williams
Kamara = A.Jones

As a Williams owner, I hope Jones get hurt.

As a Jones owner and Packers fan I hope you get hurt.

That's not gonna help your situation any, though.

Good rebuttal. Not cool to hope a player gets hurt though.

Never wish a player to get hurt.

Hoping roles become clearer during preseason.

This is just wrong on so many levels. First of all, if they follow the Payton script, the Kamara would be TyMont, and the Ingram would be one of Jones/Williams due to running style and build. I don't think one is the AP, but the one that is put on hold until there is an injury to one of the other two.

With that said, never hope injury on a player. That is just bad juju.

Here is a list of players:
Aaron Rodgers
Tom Brady
Carson Wentz
Cam Newton
Antoino Brown
Julio Jones
Mike Evans
Le'Veon Bell
David Johnson
Saquon Barkley
Gronk
Anyone not on any of my teams.

I hope all of the above get hurt.
In fact, I WISH IT!

Guess we could try it and find out.

I've had a bad shoulder for what seems like 2 months now. I'm sure one of you clowns wished it on me at some point.
