| August 26, 2008 Coach Mike McCarthy plans to lighten Ryan Grant's workload this year, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "I don't think he needs to carry it 30 times for us," McCarthy said. "I don't think he needs to carry it 25. I think 20 would be great. You have to be smart with a guy. You get him 20 carries a game, that's being smart and productive. You can get him the ball some other ways through the passing game. I don't want the guy to be a one- or two-year flash and be done with him. History supports that." |

| February 25, 2008 Green Bay Packers HC Mike McCarthy has no plans to scrap the zone-blocking scheme in favor of a power-oriented attack, and he could draft a running back according to the PackersNews.com. The Packers had times last year where they couldnt run the ball effectively, and there were some whispers that the team might shelf the running scheme. "Yes, we're staying with the zone-run scheme," McCarthy said at the NFL scouting combine last week. "We do run aspects of power schemes that are adjustments to our zone schemes, so that's why I don't think that's a valid criticism, (that) because we play in cold weather we're running the wrong kind of run-game offense." In addition, even after saying he feels much better about the running back position than at this time last year, McCarthy suggested the Packers could draft a running back with any pick. "As far as taking another one in the draft, if he's the guy up on the board, I'm sure we have no problem drafting him," McCarthy said. The organization appears to have Ryan Grant entrenched as their starter for 2008, but would like to add some depth behind him. The 2008 NFL draft is loaded with solid running back prospects, so there is depth to be had in April. |
| January 12, 2008 Ryan Grant had a monster game in Saturday's snowy win over Seattle, overcoming two early fumbles. He finished the day with 27 carries for 201 yards and three touchdowns. |
