Packers RBs coach Jerry Fontenot conceded that James Starks is a better pass blocker than Ryan Grant and plays in all spread formations.
The Packers love to use the spread to exploit one-on-one matchups, so Starks will continue to play more snaps than Grant. Fontenot also says Starks has a leg up with "his ability to run in space" and "to digest what the defense is giving us and being able to pass protect." It's clear Starks is going to be the lead back in Green Bay. He's a recommended RB2 against Carolina. Source: Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
