Just wondering if any of those guys played Sunday. I never heard their names called.
Speaking of trying to change things up, Lacy was great last season, but why they heck
don't they give Starks or Harris a few reps if Lacy can't find a hole?
Sincerely,
Baffled in Boise

Snap totals here:
http://espn.go.com/blog/green-...aying-time-breakdown
From scrimmage:
Pennel, 22 snaps
Elliot, 14 snaps
Janis, 1 snap
Masthay: 0 Ginger snaps.
thanks, Cuqui. Blair, Ginger may not have had any snaps, but he did have time to comb his hair to the perfect shape, give himself a pedicure, and keep his tush warm on the bench. So he's got that going for him, which is good.
Masthay: 0 Ginger snaps.
Do they need icing?
Evidentally Janis isnt making much of an impression on the practice field or he would be playing more one would guess,he has the speed to separate yet he isnt given the chance in games so it must be he isnt impressing the coaches in practice, yet some players never shine in practice,they wait for the games to shine.hopefully we will get to see him alot Thurs night.
Janis' time will come, probably next year. It takes most rookie wrs, especially late rounders, time to get in sync with the offense whereas running backs can find success right away.
Janis will be brought along slowly because they can.
With Boykin not practicing again today we may see more Janis Thursday, and not Super Bowl more Janis.
I'm not holding my breath for more Janis. WR is seeing no sort of rotation right now, and that's likely due to the inexperience at a position where the QB and HC demand perfection.
AR demands a level of trust that pretty clearly Janis hasn't reached. His time will eventually come.
Still, they should play Janis here and there. He's a potential weapon. Let him get at least a little bit experience this year.
We need penned to come along quicker rather than slower

This is very frustrating. They're doing the same thing with Bostick. They want these guys to know everything before playing, instead of trying to get them in with a small package of plays. Even if they get 10 snaps a game - both of them are potential game breakers. Why wouldn't you try to use that?
The rationale of the coaching staff is that the defense will figure it out, but if it's only a couple of plays, and that builds week after week (or some nuance is added to change the look or their role in those plays), it won't be an issue. While it's a valid approach, I don't see it as a smart, or at least innovative, one.
Because opposing teams will quickly figure out which plays such players know, and therefore what's coming when they're on the field.quote:Even if they get 10 snaps a game - both of them are potential game breakers. Why wouldn't you try to use that?
Sticking these players on the field to use them as decoys may be a valid approach, but it's not particularly smart, either.quote:While it's a valid approach, I don't see it as a smart, or at least innovative, one.

When did Brandon Bostick become a game breaker?
McCarthy on Jeff Janis: "Jeff is ready to play. Doing all the little things. We'll see if he gets time tomorrow night." #Packers
Also mentioned that he expects Vikes to shift attention to Jordy which should create opportunities for Adams and possibly Janis.

Why so he can screw up and be the cause of a potentially game changing play?
Janis obviously has the physical tools but he comes from a DII school. You think he understands NFL defensive coverages, schemes and can read them and adjust on the fly?
1 week into TC Rodgers said of Abbrederis, "He's going to be a good one." Has yet to say anything of note about Janis.
My guess is part of Rodgers' comment was because he was inundated with questions about Abradumdum, which provoked a response. I would think he'd offer similar comments about Janis too if he were from the local college and was constantly asked about him.
Or not.
Janis looked competent, good first step. He fought for and caught a contested ball which is always a good sign. Showed he can be effective in the first 10 yds which will only make his deep threat stronger.
Wasn't able to focus on Pennel.
Saw Elliott's number but missed anything he might have done.
Elliott did some pushing & shoving late in the game.....does that count?
Pennell is credited with 2 tackles (solo).
Elliott doesn't show up on stats. LOL @ Boris! He got some "game experience".
