Packers release RB Knile Davis

[RepStar15]

Please no one tell me about the injuries on D, Caper and this defense have sucked the bag for years.

They lead the league in run defense...

 

[HardRightEdge]

I think Knile will surprise some of you.

Not me.

Really, not for long with the garbage we've seen against Dallas and now Atlanta.

Be honest, did that look like a #1 run defense yesterday.

 

[HardRightEdge]

They don't have to give up a pick I read

That's not unusual for a short stay in a contingency pick trade. I suggested as much when he was signed.

He's was an eye-popping Combine athlete, not much of a football player unfortunately.

 

[JK64]

Not me.

Me either, the guy barely got over the line of scrimmage on any rush. TT trade =

After yesterday's game the Packers are ranked second in rushing yards allowed per game behind the Jets.

There was nothing in the available tape to suggest much value either.

Jackson looks a guy with some skills. More instinctive than Davis anyway. I'm not sure why he didn't get more carries against ATL. Injured again?

They held a team that was averaging over 120 rush yards per game to 80

 

[Djepacker]

Oh YES!!! Just as I was complaining on why we can always seem to find WRs but never any RBs we run across this GEM!!
Thanks Captain Pike for another Dead Head Move!! Erin Andrews interviews Mike McFatty at the half and the dork says '"Dauh we gotta run more,,,Dauhhh" Then the first play from scrimmage in the second half is a pass play....Maybe someone could start drinking bottled water up there in the Packer offices and realize we need a Great Running back in the draft...not a good one....Idiots!!!

90 actually. Atlanta could pass at will so there was no need to run. When Atl. did run they averaged 4.7 yards per carry, that pretty much sucks.

 

[C-Lee]

Won't end up costing us a draft pick, which is a good thing.

Sick two week rental, Ted!

 

[ChesterfieldCheesehead]

I'm dissapointed this happened being I thought he could come in and be somewhat useful but I was very wrong. I think this may mean they might try to do something before the deadline. I will point out Sean Peyton seems to hate Mark Ingram. If the saints are not very high on him I could see that trade being interesting. Although he was a first round pick I'm sure they wouldn't take peanuts for him and I wouldn't want to give up a whole lot but the guy can play obvious fumble issues but Starks had issues last year and they rewarded him!!!

The Falcons averaged 4.7 yards per carry yesterday which is up from their season average of 4.4 though.

 

[Sanguine camper]

Must mean that the hot tub is so crowded that Starks got kicked out and he has to play.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

At least with the release of Kniles Davis, it means another player being put on the 53 to pin our hopes on!

 

[7thFloorRA]

or linsley is ready to rock n roll

Yeah when I said "new player", I didn't mean to imply someone outside the organization LOL

 

[7thFloorRA]

This looks like TT made the move to get out of sending them the draft pick. If he played 3 games he lost the pick.

Lol, nothing like witnessing a good old fashioned Monday meltdown from the lunatic wing in Packernation.

 

[PackerFanLV]

Jackson did look far better then him against the falcons.

Smart post...

Anyway, since when did it become easy to just pick a great RB?

 

[rodell330]

lol I kinda feel bad for Davis. I'm curious as to Whis coming back? Or maybe we can trade for Joe Hayden and dump Shields and send Goodson back to the bench where he needs to be.

Jackson - 4 rushes, 10 yds. for 2.5 ypc average? I'm hoping Starks is ready soon If TT is going to swing a trade before tomorrow afternoon I hope it's a CB. Apparently we don't need much of a running game if we could figure out how to stop the opposition's passing game.

 

[Mondio]

Don't get too excited, Linsley has been practicing, they're probably just going to activate him

Good, we need a bigger blocking FB .
