WILLIAMS CONTINUES TO SHINE

Until regular season games are played without contact and in shorts, everything that happens in OTAs and minicamps should be taken with a very big grain of salt. Thats why we didnt think it was necessary (or even useful) to provide a play-by-play account of what occurred on the practice field last week. Instead, we asked a former scout to give us a list of the 10 most impressive players. For what its worth, here it is:

"The oranges are dry; the apples are mealy; and the papayas... I don't know what's going on with the papayas!"

1) CB Tramon Williams - The kid can run with any receiver.
2) WR Greg Jennings - His new extension overshadowed just how good he looked on the practice field. Nobody - and I mean nobody - could cover him.

ummm ???

We should totally resign him. Or trade for him if he's still on the Jets roster. For as far as I know, Jamal Reynolds is still a FA as well.

Anyway, some good notes in there. Even more positive thoughts about Thompson. Really happy about that. I hope that he'll be the starter when the season starts. If he'll excell, we'll be in a real luxury position with Matthews. We might even be able to groom him before throwing him out there.

It seems to me that it would be hard to judge a lineman (offensive OR defensive) without them wearing pads. Perhaps that has something to do with it, who knows.........

1) CB Tramon Williams
6) WR Jordy Nelson
7) LB Brandon Chillar

Great to hear these guys are playing well. All 3 I'm really high on for 09.

Shockers:
10) P Jeremy Kapinos
8 ) LB Jeremy Thompson
4) TE Jermichael Finley

I thought Kapinos would for sure be out(not that he still cant be). Thompson, I guess I see it. Possible gem? Finley. Well I just cant be impressed by him until he performs consistently in pads.

3) QB Aaron Rodgers
2) WR Greg Jennings

No surprises here. :icon_smile:

"There will be another intriguing position battle at tight end, where up-and-coming youngster Jermichael Finley could unseat Donald Lee as the starter. Philbin said Finley is much improved from his rookie season in 2008."

I find this extremely interesting. An excerpt from yesterdays Green Bay Press Gazette . This is especially interesting in light of our recent Camp Battles thread. I have been high on Finley since he played for Texas, and was pscyched when we drafted him, knowing full well that he was a baby at this time last year. I'm hoping his progression and maturing continues to go faster than anticipated. Coming out of college, he was already an athletic phenomenon amongst a league full of them, he is a straight-up baller, and has the instincts and the natural flexibility to make his body move in ways that a man of his size just shouldn't be able to do. If this kid can pull it all together, grow up, and become a team player, he's going to do awesome things in this league.

I'm really excited for Finley, i think one thing you need to look at last year, is that he was basically a collage senior playing in the NFL. Taking that into consideration, the "punk" reputation he seemed to aquire could be vastly overblown.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..
