nycdan Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Does puke freeze before it hits the ground in GB in December? (honestly, I wish Joe the best...but I'm weak and couldn't resist one poke at his expense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsjetsjetss Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 maybe a change in scenery will do him good if he has less distractions in GB and if they are patient before he plays he could be a good back for them. He was somewhat explosive for us when he got the ball the jets dont have the luxury of waiting for him tho so glad we got rid of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinlawyer Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I guess they were looking for someone who puked the team's colors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 The RB situation here is still cloudy. Can Ivory stay healthy? Is Powell ready for a bigger role in the offense? Bell looked ok in pre-season. Is it an upgrade from Greene and McKnight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleckineau Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Perfect fit. All that cheese available will raise his body fat so he can stop feinting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenseed4 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I heard rumblings that they weren't so happy with John Franklin, the UCLA RB we had a shot at drafting in the 4th when we traded for Ivory. If we still like him, there's a chance we can have our cake, and eat it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked him pre-draft too but if he caused the Packers to pick up McKnight there's got to be something concrete wrong with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he's looked slow, and hasn't picked up pass pro as well as their other guys. (Green, Starks, Lacy) Plus I think they want to take Randall Cobb off of returns to focus more on offense; might be the real selling point for McKnight.

pointman Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 McKnight.. I miss him. Only return guy on our team is Cromartie, and he is too valuable to risk getting destroyed. Let McKnight run in a straight line. Who cares if he gets decapitated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeKlecko Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I'm sure they picked him up for the returns. I don't think they got him for RB. I agree that's probably the primary reason they signed him, but they may think he has more potential offensively than the Jets did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLV Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Funny thing about McKnight is that despite being a head case, every time we have actually given him a chance to perform he has. He is just not a Ryan guy. I would not be shocked if McKnight has a breakout year in GB, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeKlecko Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 The Packers didn't cut Franklin, at least not yet. If they do, the Jets should grab him in a NY minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I would not be shocked if McKnight has a breakout year in GB, Same here. Wouldn't shock me if by week 4 or so, people start picking him up in fantasy leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we still like him, there's a chance we can have our cake, and eat it too. Everyone knows I loved Franklin in the 4th .. I studied his senior year nice and close and seen a fantastic RB... I hope we grab him and make something out of him.. but I don't see it we already have 3 RBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Idzik, I'd sign Green. He's got some wheels and I think is better than Goodson or Khalil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
