It's Dall-ASS Week!

Scenario I see moving forward is;

-- activating Jackson for this week in Callahan's spot

-- activate Pennel, move Price to PS

-- if Starks is still hurt, keep Jackson up, if Starks is back, Jackson back to PS

-- Give Goodson until Monday & decide between him & Hawkins for roster spot.  

Jerruh Jones.  

cut Callahan

Michael Irvin has no problem cutting people

Michael Irvin has no problem cutting blow either

That shot on Cobb was B.S., total cheap shot. He was already going to the ground, there was no reason to put his shoulder in Cobb's head. 

I thought he looked like a 'rassler comin' off the ropes dropping an elbow.
Not sure what that "finishing move" is called though.....

The Peoples elbow?

I'd vote for the People's Elbow.  In Elbow we trust!

1 punter might be too.

I was going to say detriment.

With Lacy slowed and who knows with Starks, McCarthy should play 5 WRs all game. He has 7 WRs to choose from, so why not? Go 3 wide with Cobb and Montgomery coming out of the backfield.

This is exactly what MM should do. Spread them out 5 wide and go full throttle for 60 minutes. 

If Starks does not dress they almost have to activate Jackson

Starks ruled out, Rollins added to report

Good, we don't have to watch Starks dance and lose yards and drop passes. 

Good. No defense by either team. Score score score!!

Green Bay 47, Dallas 0.

Goodson & Pennel added, surprised that Jackson, rather than Goodson was not activated, but with Rollins now added to injury report, they must have felt they had to activate another corner.

Nice, thanks

Well you did take the over, didn't you?

Against my constant advice. 

I heard Starks could be out weeks. Wish we'd signed Spiller. Don't understand how NE can find productive RBs under rocks and we can't seem to find another Samkon Gado.

They don't seem to want another running back. Only have 1 RB active for this week. 

If they use them right Cobb and Monty out of the backfield should be a solid compliment.  Just don't run them up the gut like a traditional RB.

The Packers did not promote RB Don Jackson from the practice squad. Instead, they activated DE Mike Pennel and CB Demetri Goodson. One takes QB Joe Callahan's roster spot. The other replaces DT Brian Price, who was released and likely will be back on the practice squad if he's unclaimed off waivers.

James Starks not only was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, but the Green Bay Packers running back may miss several weeks because of a knee injury suffered this week.

Starks was downgraded from questionable to out following practice on Saturday. The veteran backup reported some pain in his knee after a workout Tuesday, and the initial diagnosis is a meniscus injury, according to a source.

The Packers are still trying to determine the severity of the injury and a course of action for treatment, in part because Starks spent most of the week out of town to attend his grandmother's funeral.

If Starks is out a few weeks, Monty or Cobb aside, I can't see MM going with just Lacy and Ripkowski.

I'd assume TT will look at who's around no?

Ssshhhh.....TT is sleeping. Don't disturb him.

TT is trying to save cap space so he can pocket the money at the end of the season and buy more Miller Lite.

Quite frankly, I wouldn't mind if Goodson were released. Does he really offer any more upside than Hawkins? 

On special teams, yes.

How they're going to replace that 1.8 yards a carry I will never know 

Too bad John Kuhn isn't available.

Starks hasn't played well all season but unlike Cobb or Monty he's a real RB. 

If Lacy can't go it's going to be interesting to see what they do in the backfield. 

Lacy will go, they would have had to bring up Jackson if there was a doubt

Of course he will go, will he finish?
