Even though Gado had a minor injury and some growing pains toward the end of last season, wonder if the front office is wishing they had Gado at their disposal these days:

Searching for a Runner in Green Bay


If he controlled the checkbook, Packers coach Mike McCarthy might have paid to keep Ahman Green. Not the ridiculous amount the Texans paid, but something more than reasonable. “He’s a guy who should have retired a Packer,” McCarthy said.

McCarthy’s new plan was to have a committee of running backs. The top three in the rotation were going to be Vernand Morency, Noah Herron and second-round pick Brandon Jackson.

Well, McCarthy’s plan took a hit the first day of camp when Morency went down with a knee injury and now Jackson has a concussion. Herron has been a steady-eddie kind of back; he’s not a big-play threat. In the first three preseason games, the Packers are averaging 95.7 yards rushing, 19th overall.

DeShawn Wynn, a seventh-round pick out of Florida, missed 18 days of camp with a right thigh muscle strain. Wynn has untapped ability, but he’s always been an injury question.

There is no doubt that McCarthy wanted to lean on Jackson and Morency this season, but already you have to wonder about their durability. And with top receiver Donald Driver nursing a foot sprain until opening Sunday, Green Bay doesn’t have many weapons for Brett Favre to choose from.

Good thing Green Bay has a defense. This could be the lowest scoring team in Packerland since Mike Holmgren’s first team scored only 276 points in 1992.
