		<description><![CDATA[I have no life so I do DVR every game.  An interesting observation (estimate at this point) about 70% of all running plays that the Packers called were to the left side of the line (Colledge and Clifton)  out side of the first two runs that way no more than three yards was gained.  The most successful runs were to the Packer right side (Spitz and Tauch).  Does MM have a method for grading offensive coordinators?  And himself!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DDD -- I love the use of strawmanny (though you should have added an &quot;if you will&quot;), but I disagree with its application.  My good friend Aaron (it&#039;s political season) had just called Grant an &quot;average&quot; back in response to me.  

I agree that Grant&#039;s productivity has been disappointing.  I think it&#039;s the O-line, others disagree.  But I&#039;d be more open to such an argument if the people making that claim would actually point to specific plays on which he missed holes.  As I say, I took a long look and didn&#039;t find many.  I do think he lacked explosiveness in the first four games but I think he&#039;s looked much, much better in the last two.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Also, I completely agree that you cannot take anything a coach says at face value.  Basically ever.  When a coach makes a statement he has a far different agenda than to tell the truth.  Their job is to motivate players and manage a lockerroom, if they also happen to tell the truth then that&#039;s a just a side effect.  Some players respond to being called out, some players need an ego boost.  Sometimes the coach is sending a smoke screen to opposing team.  In any event, he does not give a rats azz whether he is giving us accurate information.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;But I find it amusing that some people thought it was too early to sign Grant to a long-term deal after his extraordinary ten-game stretch last year, but now seem ready to declare him “average” after six games this year.&quot;

Seem strawmanny to me.  Is anyone really proclaiming him to be average?  It seems people are just stating the obvious: his play is very disappointing.  Grant is hands down the biggest disppointment on the team this year.

And I&#039;m not talking about gamechanging TD runs.  Seemingly ever other Grant carry involves Grant running into a lineman&#039;s ass and falling over.  There is a huge difference between 2nd and 9 and 2nd and 6.  Some more tough and decisive running would turn a lot of those 1 yard gains into 4 yard gains and that would be a huge improvement.]]></description>
