Mulumba, a third-year pro, is coming off knee-reconstruction surgery after sustaining a torn ACL in Week 2 last season, and in the first three days of padded practice he’s rushed the passer better than Jayrone Elliott and Adrian Hubbard.

They’re going for the No. 4 spot at outside linebacker behind Julius Peppers, Nick Perry and the injured Neal — that’s counting Clay Matthews as primarily an inside ’backer. Mulumba hasn’t done his best work in one-on-one pass-rush drills — he’s 1-5 there — but in team periods he’s had several good rushes a day.

Sounds like Mulumba's ahead of Jayrone Elliot so far. Also sounds like they want Adams to make a statement:

Part of the perception probably is skewed by expectations, but it’s hard not to conclude that third-round draft pick Ty Montgomery has been the better playmaker early in camp. And one play involving Adams on Tuesday was a little jarring: cornerback Sam Shields’ leaping interception of a Rodgers throw on a go route.

Shields made an exceptional play, but one of Adams’ assets is his physical strength going after those kind of throws. On that play, he didn’t attack the ball like you’d expect and thus never had a shot at the catch or at least pass breakup.

The smart money says Adams will be the player the Packers were so excited about in June — he’s a highly confident receiver whom Rodgers lauds for already carrying himself like a star. But he’s due for a banner day on the practice field.



Sounds like Goodson's still got a shot too:

Undrafted rookie LaDarius Gunter has passed Demetri Goodson for the No. 6 spot on the depth chart at cornerback, but Goodson helped himself Tuesday by making good plays on back-to-back snaps. On the first, Goodson knocked away a pass to tight end Justin Perillo on in inside route, and on the second he ran shoulder to shoulder with receiver Larry Pinkard on a go route to help cause an incompletion. The latter play drew an excited congratulatory hand slap from cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt.

Neal and probably Perry too are kinda like overripe fruit - getting close to time to throw them out. I'm glad to see Mulumba stepping up; I'm pretty sure Elliot will do the same. Hubbard also has the potential - hopefully he will play up to it. The better these guys do, the clearer the decision to keep Matthews mostly at ILB.

One bad play doesn't make Adams a lesser player. However, I still don't see his ceiling as being as high as Montgomery and Janis. He undoubtedly will stay 3rd among WRs, but given half a chance, I could see those two passing him up at some point.

Adams' stats will be triple those of Janis.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if Janis and Montgomery proved to be better players. I don't see what all the noise about Davante is.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
