Of course
Familiar with the offense. Makes a lot of sense this late in the season. Ain't no stopping them now.
He should have fresh legs, at least, and knows the system/playbook. :shrug:
gotta plug the holes with someone.
whatta season. stay tuned.

everything is coming together for a rematch with Seattle in the playoffs. Grant will get 200 yards and 3 TDs again. Here's to a snowy day for snow globe bowl II and for the cherry on top let's make Al Harris honorary captain.
Lets just hop Grant doesn't cough it up mutliple times early again in that case.
I am not sure if Grant has much left in the tank, but he was running well down the stretch last season.
Patty and I think Ted is trying to be too cute again.
Who else is out there? Anyone of any caliber?
I think this is a good signing. Let's see what he can get done and if he shows nothing, they can always revert back to the other choice tey have now, a practice squad guy, right? Not sure who their running back reserves are. And if I remmber right, Grant was pretty decent in the screen game wasn't he? Blitz pickup?

Will Favre come back & throw snowballs?
He's just a kid out there.
I would rather see White get a chance.. I'm hoping this is just a emergency plan in case Green or White go down next.
Why would Grant sign here, knowing he'll inevitably get injured?
Always a good packer...will be nice to see him back
reminds me a lot of Emmit Smith

I get it. 22 (Smith's jersey number)+3 (number of teams Grant has played on)= 25 (Grant's jersey number. Some Mayan connection is buried in this).

Always thought Grant was well spoken.
similar size...same running styles...no brainer
"The runnin' game is bouts to get blowed up!!"
Emmit is 5'9" and played @ 210 lbs
Grant is 6'1" and plays @ 220 lbs
I know, they all look alike to you cops.

I like Ryan Grant over Dorsey Levens at this stage in their careers.

Emmit had a line to run behind. He spoked good English too!

@PackerReport
Grant averaged 4.2 per carry last year. This year, Starks 3.6, Benson 3.5, Green 3.3. Only Cobb's 13.2 and Rodgers' 4.7 get #Packers to 3.9.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Where have you gone third round pick in 2011 draft?

Or just use Davon House, close enough looks wise.

That was the first thought that went to my head, Grant fumlbing in the playoffs.
Grant isn't in a happy place in my memories.

Are any Packers in a happy place in your memories?
I don't understand anyone being upset with Grant coming back under these conditions. Yes, he caused frustration of many kinds, but he was by no imagination horrible and at times even more that serviceable. The chance that the Packers in this situation could bring in a guy who
1)most importantly knows their offense and ran it last year,
2)was not a complete bust last year (4.2 yrds/carry)
3)fresh legs (although the lack of football shape is definately a concern)
4)was pretty decent at picking up the blitz, able to run the screen and catch the ball
Man, personally, I went from depression over hearing about Starks to feeling OK when they signed Grant. I was not very happy to be depending upon basically Green for the rest of the year.
