Zenner not getting any carries around the goal line considering the Lions red zone problems this year is ridiculous. Although Zenner is not really a power back he has had success around the goal line and the rest of the guys ain't getting it done. Heck even a Detroit sports reporter wondered why Zenner wasn't being given a chance. It's not a good sign that he isn't dressing either. Washington has not shown he is any kind of an upgrade and though the Lions will give him several years of opportunities, Abdullah hasn't done anything and now his fumble-itis is back. Might open a door for Zenner. Caldwell is a conservative coach and those guys do not like fumblers.
Gruden mentioned Jordy Nelson's "sneaky" speed, a racial qualifier I have not heard in a while. It's laughable to consider the top deep threat in the game having sneaky speed, as if anyone in the league hasn't seen him burn DB's. But that's standard caste-speak and Grunden while not the worst is certainly a member of that club. Gruden was actually pretty rough on Hundley at the end of the game, and they pointed out several times how much he fumbled, got sacked, and threw picks in college. Makes you wonder what anyone saw in him? I expect Callahan will be playing after a few more losses.
Really shows how stupid Green Bay is. Here's a team with championship expectations at the start of the season and they don't even back up Rodgers with a vet that could come in and at least be a game manager. Nope they have to go out on a limb with a black quarterback project and now they are screwed. Serves them right. They had a bit of the Patriots winning formula and they squashed it, now they are going to be crap. And I think Nelson is going to be unplayable in FF leagues by the end of the year.
