Who will be the darkhorse who will be the talk of training camp? Not talking about guys like Underwood or Hodge. I'm talking about guys who right now may be considered to be a long shot at making the team.

Just a hunch but I vote for Bodiford, but Alcord might have a shot to be the darkhorse. Isn't he a TE?

Does Ruvell "Give 'em Hell" Martin qualify?

Nope. Pack's 3rd leading WR last year.

I voted Bigby just because it sounds like he's getting alot of love from the coaches lately.

On offense, PJ Pope.

On defense, Atari Bigby.

I voted for Bigby as well. On offense, I think Wynn has a chance to at least be a short yardage/goalline guy if Morency and jackson can't get those tough yards.

Alcorn has the best chance as there is only one TE guaranteed a roster spot. Lee.

I voted Wynn, because he has both the talent and the character flaws that make headlines likely, one way or the other.

I'm also diggin' on Bigby, and I'm glad to hear there's some buzz about him. The name alone is choice, but my understanding is that the guy has some good tools and hits with some pop.

I'd love to see him break out and solidify that safety position.

I'd consider Ruvell a darkhorse, but to win, he'd have to perform noticeably better than last year.

Rory JohnsonThis is who I was thinking too. His bio makes it sound like he might have a chance.

I think Wynn will make an impact. I saw on another site where they compared him to Marion Barber of Dallas, and that makes some sense to use him on short yardage and goal line stands. He may not get a ton of carries but could make an impact.

He may not get a ton of carries but could make an impact.Unless the Cory Dillion rumor comes true, goal line situations have me concerned. Morency and Jackson dont look like they can punch it in so hopefully this will be where Wynn shines.

I voted Bigby... but am hoping that Wynn steps up. Would like to see Wynn as the starter and Jackson as the COP/3rd down back.

I'm pretty sure Jackson will prove to be better than Morency... first time Morency gets dinged and misses a start, should open the door for Jackson.

Wynn on the other hand has the size/speed combo I'm looking for... don't know if he has the psychological makeup to make it though.

Man. . .are you ever not down on Ruvell Martin.

What would you be like as a coach?

Ohhhh. . .my vote went to Deshawn Wynn.

I have a tendency to go for the underdog HH especially when his attotude is great !! Now . . .Wynn has just got to talk to Ruvell and get there. :)

Has Wynn shat in anyones closet yet? Oh wait...he went to Florida. Wynn is going to be freaky in the backfield. Get ready.

none of the above

when camp opens we're going to hear all about how hard Abdul Hodge worked in the off season, and how everything has fallen into place for him

we will hear about how much of a freak he's turned into



i hope

Hey Harlan, you trifling, whining, sniveling crybaby (thats not a personal attack it's just the truth).

Here is the thread you where looking for (http://www.packerrats.com/ratchat/viewtopic.php?t=7320). It was halfway down the page. Looks like the title was "Darkhorses". Maybe you got confused because it was only one word.

Ah yes, just like the old days. I can almost hear Tom Jones singing "the green green grass of home".
