Packers.com – Inbox: This is a blank page in a brand-new book

Wes, Friday’s Inbox was epic. From receiver musical chairs to a complete breakdown of the Hodmeister cheese guide, it had it all! Just because it’s the dead zone doesn’t mean you aren’t in midseason form. Keep stacking days buddy!

I’m just trying to do my 1/11th.

While “The Dead Zone” was a decent Stephen King novel and the film adaptation is definitely worthy of watching, I feel utilizing the moniker for this period of misery falls short of the epigrammatic standard of this hallowed forum. As such, I hereby propose an official name change to “The Nothing,” the villain from “The NeverEnding Story” defined online as “a supernatural force of destruction spawned from disillusionment and disbelief.” It really hits it on the head. All those in favor, say “Aye.”

This hit me right in the feels. I can imagine Spoff (on his snail), Rockbiter and me running from the approaching storm to the Silver City that is training camp.

With the much-ballyhooed receiver room, a question came to mind. We have all heard of running back by committee, but can there be such a thing as wide receiver by committee? Do wide receivers need to establish a rhythm like some running backs do? Is it realistic that the Packers could use a constant rotation of receivers to keep them fresher?

I think so, especially when guys have earned those opportunities. I’m not saying to expect hockey line changes every two or three plays, but the Packers have multiple receivers who do different things well. Why not widen the scope and see what works? If the young receivers develop and the veterans stay healthy, the potential is limitless for the Packers’ receiver room.
