Jags released David Garrard

I've got a group of about 20 that are going up there.  We will "give em hell" as I believe the expression goes.

Was just watching the news. They were saying how he came to practice giving direction. He shows alot of leadership. They better not put handcuffs on him. If Im not mistaken, Hill and Lewis will be back this week. I also checked out the dude Chastin West and.... He's REALLY good. Im not sure how GB kept him on the practice squad for so long. If he has all his targets in place, this could work out well. Im excited beyond belief! I wasnt excited at all when we drafted Leftwich. I was like, " WTF are you serious?" LOL

Green Bay WANTED to keep him.  He should do well here.  The ONLY reason he was on the practice squad is they already have 5 quality starters on the active roster.  (Jennings, Driver, Nelson, Jones, and Cobb) Green Bay loses a couple players each year from the practice squad where they try to "hide" a player who cannot make the roster.

Ooohh okay.

I'm pretty confident that the handcuffs will be applied.  Lots of draw screens, bubble screens, 3 step drops and most importantly - handoffs.

The downside to this is even though the Panthers ARE a running team, with our weak secondary, they're going to cut Cam loose.  So once we find ourselves down a couple of TDs, then they go pass happy - which is ineffective, because the defense goes blitz happy when they know you have to pass.

IMO, let's pull a trick from that the Colts used against us every year - put Hill on the outside with a double move and bomb the shit out of it on the first play a la Peyton / Harrison.  Set the tone with that play.  (BTW, they should be working extensively on that play this week - tell the defense what you're running and then run it, over and over and over, until the O gets it's timing down.)

This is my only problem with our offense.  Everyone knows we can run when we want to - literally, there's no stopping us.  Why don't we pass more on our running downs and try to catch the other teams off guard?

I think that two snappy passes of 5 yards each should march us smartly down field, one first down after another. There is an advantage there when the quarterback launches the ball almost instantly from the snap. As long as he is accurate. They need an old tire hanging from a rope on the practice field to get it right. Then they can practice with a receiver - carrying the tire.

I agree. I few shorts passes with some runs should get us far. For the small amount of time Gabbert was in Sunday that is what he was doing. A few short passes, a few runs, and we FINALLY made it to the 20 yard line. We seem to be protecting the QB better this season so Gabbert shouldnt get sacked.
