Herron should start early in the season for the sake of cosistancy.Mistake-free football early while the rest of the team gets insink could be quite usefull thinking in terms of the whole season

Grant is a stud, if he can stay healthy. But like that new commercial with him states, other teams are aware of him know. He went from being ryan grant? to WOW, LOOK OUT FOR RYAN GRANT! I didn’t see the SF game but Jackson was impressive against Cincy. I agree with Ron above though, his blocking is lacking and must improve for him to become an impact player. Wynn might have been a fluke early last year, and appears to be injury prone, I’d let him go. Morency runs with a lot of power and he seems to be decent in a screen scenario. Herron fought off a guy with a bed post, I think that deserves a spot on the team!

Some good news on Grant, finally. See the link at Packers.com http://www.packers.com/news/stories/2008/08/18/1/

Jackson has to learn how to block. If he is going to make an impact he has to be more than a 3rd down back. And blocking is part of that Job Description.

Morency at 3rd on the depth chart is probably right but if Lumpkin has another good game that could change. Morency needs to stop making mistakes.

Noah Heron will be on the team. They have confidence in his blockinhg and he doesn’t fumble. He’s an adequate runner.

Wynn will probably be cut. His injury could place him on IR, however.
