Pleasant suprises of 2008 (make your predictions)

[KYPack]

"Orange" Junius Coston is going to prove himself an NFL-caliber offensive lineman!

You read it hear first, folks.

Gutsy pick, Fritz.

I think this is the year they cut him.

Let's see what happens.

[Brohm]

I think Humphery and Thompson as a back-up LT

[The Leaper]

I get the feeling Rouse is going to be a positive surprise.

I also think we'll have a couple of nice surprises on the OL, and Jackson will become a very nice 3rd down back.

I've got Fritz's back on this one.

Seriously, I don't get why Coston is dismissed so easily around here. He's no worse than Colledge from all I've seen. But it's assumed Colledge will stick somewhere, maybe at Tackle, while lots of people have Coston on the first bus out of town.

I think Coston is already an NFL caliber OL. He's not quite a STARTING caliber NFL OL, but neither is Colledge. I don't mind having both of those guys around as depth. We could do a lot worse.

I expect Barbre and Spitz to establish themselves as starting guards, but Coston and Colledge will make the roster. Tony Moll will be the odd man out this year.

Other predicted pleasantries:

Cullen Jenkins - stays healthy and plays the whole season like he played the pre-season last year, kicking ass and causing havoc. I don't know whether this constitutes a surprise, but it would be pleasant.

Jarrett Bush - makes the roster as a 4th S/6th CB and provides quality depth at both.

Ryan Powdrell - stays healthy and provides some major thumping at FB.

Allen Barbre - takes the LG job and runs with it, providing (with help from Powdrell) an instant upgrade in short yardage situations.

AJ Hawk - gets voted to his first Pro Bowl and people get off his back already.

Aaron Rodgers - proves to be one of the better QB's in the NFC, which won't surprise me. It will shock the national media.

Johnny Jolly - enters national discussions regarding the best DT's in the NFL.

Atari Bigby and Aaron Rouse - both improve their consistency while becoming the most feared, most intimidating S tandem in the NFL.

[MadtownPacker]

GDamn DH, you must have drank a whole barrell of koolaid this morning.

Tramon Williams showed alot IMO. He might get the job via injury to Harris most likely and hopefully never give it back.

Aaron "the ball loves me" Rouse is the easy pick. There is no way he should not be on the field with Bigby now!

I got both your backs....coston and college would start on half the teams in this league. (Granted the bad half) They aren't just jokes, they are quality, but TT has raised the bar on our expectations....remember the sherman days of hearing that Barry was the up and comer, my how we have raised the bar.

i think most people on here would like to see coston fall flat on his ass for no other reason then we've heard his wife is a completely stuck up bitch who thinks the world should bow down before her because her husband is a pro football player

[CaliforniaCheez]

Kyle Ward sticks with the team until just before training camp when someone has to be cut to sign the draft picks.

I can understand all of those except Bush and Powdrell. I mean Bush has gotten plenty of chances, and he just hasnt excelled in the limited games ive seen. And who is Powdrell, whats wrong with korey hall

[Joemailman]

I agree with you about Bush. He just doesn't make the plays when it matter the most. I think he's a long shot to make the team if Blackmon stays healthy.

Powdrell is an interesting prospect who could challenge Kuhn for the FB spot opposite Hall.

[bobblehead]

guys, he is saying bush makes it as a backup and special teams ace, he ain't predicting pro bowls here. I agree, bush's position will be saftey, and he won't be a joke there, as a CB he was merely below average, but not incompetent.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Bush has some talent. He's only been in the league for two years. He has size and speed. I wouldn't be surprised if he makes the team again and becomes a solid backup. He hasn't had all bad moments. He's made a few plays, and he's decent on special teams. I think his problem is confidence. When things start going bad, he loses faith in himself.

[Tarlam!]

These debates are so different from the bygone days. We are talikin' about improvements on already good to great players.

Summaryt? We have no holes and only the QB position is a ?.

When was the last time Pack fans could debate like this?

TT = Genius.
