Harris: Packers have best runners in the league

More Packers brainwashing.  Why must we always try to see the good in things? 

I think Harris might be a little delusional, but I like what I am seeing so far.

128+ ypg is pretty damn good when we also happen to have one of the best QB's in the game.

128 YPG and having all-world Rodgers is why it's a bit frustrating to be 1-2 at this point.

Probably more inclined to consider Harris delusional before Franklin put on his show and demonstrated he could actually play. Certainly the best depth at the position I've seen in quite a few years and it'll be interesting to see how MM utilizes them all going forward. Lacy is certainly the #1 back but hard to keep Franklin off the field given what he did Sunday.

They are all currently watching from the sidelines. Harris is IR, Lacy is concussed, Starks has a knee, Franklin is in a walking boot and Kuhn has the dreaded hamstring.

Harris is the only one who won't be ready in week 4.

Gil Brandt had this to say today.

Green Bay Packers

Offensive line troubles (Green Bay has surrendered 10 sacks through three games) and an unreliable running game leave too much on the shoulders of quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

128 rushing yards a game. More than the Broncos, Bears and Niners. So unreliable. 

Which of our hobbled running backs are you referring to? 

And here I have been told repeatedly that a strong running game is the key difference to becoming a good team!

Interesting isn't it ?

My hunch is that 7 or  8 of the top ten RB won't even make the playoffs.

IF enough of them can be healthy at one time, I sort of agree with him!  It's been a long time since we had backs as good as I think Harris, Starks, Lacy and Franklin can be.

My bigger concern is the OL protecting AR.  If we can solve that and keep people healthy, I think this could be a special team.  Then again, I could be psychotic!  :-)

Really  like our fleet of Running Backs. Each brings something different to the table too. 

And I agree on being concerned about the OL protection. Not only is Rodgers getting sacked too much, but he's getting hit and knocked down way too often. Seems like he's under a great deal of pressure on a high percentage of pass plays. On pace for another 50 plus sack season If they don't shore the protection up. 

I wouldn't rely on it on 4th and 1 with the game on the line.

When these studs stay healthy and quit fumbling let me know.  On another note one missed block and our season ends.  Stay tuned.

Rodgers is being pressured on 26% of his drop backs. 3rd lowest in the league. Problem is, most of those pressures turn into sacks. Which, I agree, is a problem.

I would say about 3 or 4 of those sacks are on AR for holding the ball too long, and trying to move around to make something happen.  For example, in the Redskins game, he turned and tried to roll out and did so right into a sack.  The number of beaten off the line right to a sack is less than 5.

Ben Tate/Arian Foster combo is pretty decent.  Ray Rice/Bernard Pierce duo is really good.   Heck, even Reggie Bush/J Bell in Detroit have been impressive.

I like our backs but I'd like to see their body of work over a longer period of time before I anoint them "the best"
