Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers  from around the web and here at PackersNews.com. Grab a strong cup of coffee and get caught up on everything you need to know about the Packers as they prepare to take on the winless Cleveland Browns.

We’ll start with Tom Silverstein’s look at the play of Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones, and how the Packers should lean toward Jones going forward.

From Tom:

Everything running back Jamaal Williams did Sunday to will the Green Bay Packers to an overtime victory over Tampa Bay should be recognized for what it was: an inspired performance.

The 6-foot, 212-pound rookie came into his own at the same time the offense desperately needed someone to lean on.

Yet if you want to know what really could make the Packers a difficult team to defend in the weeks to come, look at the two plays in which running back Aaron Jones participated.

Practically everyone saw him turn nothing into a game-winning 20-yard touchdown against the Buccaneers. It was an amazing piece of running, especially for someone who had missed the previous three games with an MCL tear.

Now, if you were really paying attention, you would have noticed something remarkable about his other snap – given to him after Williams had been on the field nine of the first 10 plays on the Packers’ opening drive.
