Carlton Supporters Club

That's no doubt the play.  I assume the criticism would be that Hayne should have ensured he was at the 1st down marker so that a completed catch would result in a 1st down.  That's especially the case where the QB is out of the pocket and he can throw it away anyway - 4 & 3 isn't much different from 4 & 1 if you have to punt it away anyway.  I've heard the same criticism directed at other receivers who've failed to establish a position in 1st down territory.

Tomsula said Hayne “represented himself well” but was not 100 percent convinced, however, detailing a play where Hayne just failed to reach a first down.

“Jarryd has to get to the sticks there,” Tomsula said in the post-match press conference.

“He has to run that route to the sticks there. That’s just what has to happen there.”

Where's all the Packer fans now? I said we'd rival you for the divisional title. Now we are tied with a head to head to decide it!

DeJuan Harris* - 11 attempts for 73 yards with a long of 25. - Also 1 catch for 11 yards

Harris beat him all round.

* Should be noted that Harris was only signed to the team this week because they are paper thin in the running backs area - which was also why Hayne was promoted to the game)

Pretty sure Harris was cut from the Packers roster earlier this season, he was our 4th RB last season, but was overtaken by an undrafted rookie in this years pre-season.

5 of those 8 clubs have been this year Krudds, since the Packers released him!!

I'm still here Krudd, The Vikings have done well to go past the Lions in a very short space of time. And from what I have read they were coming from a fair way back!

The Packers have had a Carlton like season with injuries this year, we have made the playoffs, but i doubt we will make much of an impression once the play off's actually get going.

You know you have a strong division when you have 2 sides get to the play off in 2 consecutive years, Lions and Packers last year, Vikings and Packers this year.

Well he started off being a blocker, but everyone was picked up and the QB was flushed, so he eventually decided to run down field, he never even got a chance to get to the first down line before the QB dished it to him. He didn't stop short, he just never got there. Unfair criticism IMO.
You can view the play from here - http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2015122705/2015/REG16/49ers@lions?icampaign=GamePass_ScoreStrip_watch#menu=gamepass&tab=recap - it is the next video along scroll right (with Hayne #38 shown).

Should he have left his blocking assignment (or lack of) earlier? Possibly, but its better than leavin too soon and the QB gets sacked.

THE San Francisco 49ers cannot definitively say which position Jarryd Hayne is most suited to after his first season in the NFL, but offensive coordinator Geep Chryst has seen enough to suggest the Australian could pose a threat “on both sides of the ball” next season.

Speaking before the 49ers’ season finale against the St Louis Rams, Chryst said it was difficult to pigeon hole Hayne as a special teams ace, a receiver or a third-down back after a debut season defined by promise and frustration in equal measure.

“All those labels we want to define him,” Chryst told reporters. “But he’s kind of an outlier in that he can carry the ball, he can catch the ball, he can run. We’ll have to wait and see where it goes.”

Chryst suggested Hayne was well and truly part of the 49ers’ plans for 2016.

“With experience, he’ll become a really dynamic special-teams player, on both sides of the ball,” Chryst said. “He’s big, he’s hard to block. As he works on fielding punts, he’s going to be a really exciting player to watch moving forward, and we really like him.

“He doesn’t back away from or have to ease into the game. He’s excited to be out there and he’s making plays.”

It will be interesting to see how his career progresses next season.

All that is saying he has a lot of potential, but we can't find a position that he can excel in because he doesn't know enough about the game.

"I guess over time I'm going to get better," Hayne, who says he can not wait to fly back to Sydney, spend time with friends and family, swim in the surf and drink plenty of coffee, said.

"I'm excited for my future because I'm still learning and still developing."

But Geep Chryst is saying that Hayne has so much upside that they don't yet know how to best use him.  Anyway, it seems that it will be a new team management and coaches who will have that problem next season.
