[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 621881"] "Perfect timing," one of the executives said. "They did (get lucky)." … "He'll catch 40 to 60 balls, [I][B]as much as they throw the football,"[/B][/I] one executive said. "[B]He's going to average between 9 and 11 yards a catch[/B]. I think it's a good move because of the familiarity and it's a security blanket for the quarterback." [I][B] This guy[/B] [/I]doesn't know what he's talking about[I].[/I] Over the past 5 years, the Packers have ranked as follows in number of passing attempts: 2014 - 20th. 2013 - 18th. 2012 - 16th. 2011 - 14th. 2010 - 16th. Even without Lacy, the numbers were average; with him the numbers went down. As for the 9-11 yards per catch, that sounds like a "conventional wisdom" superficiality based on the Oakland stats. As for the second opinion citing Jones' loss of speed, we'll just have to see about that. I've discussed recently guys with early speed (White...note the speed in turning up the field on the long gainer in this most recent game) vs. long strider/long speed (Nelson and Janis, or Janis' doppleganger Billy Schroeder for that matter). Or if we look at Cobb, he's got a fairly smooth and speedy acceleration curve up through 4th. gear while lacking the premier long speed/5th. gear of a Nelson. My perception of Jones when he was with the Packers was as none of the above...he had "middle speed"...he had a strong 3rd. gear which would show up, for example, at the point where a CB would engage him in off coverage. If the Packers are going to play him as wide out and not in the slot, which one would expect, we'll get a good idea fairly quickly as to whether he still has that 3rd. gear. [/QUOTE]
