Who Ya Rooting for in Camp?

[Joemailman]

I think Daniel Muir has a chance to surprise people. He showed some real quickness last year, and will get a chance to show what he can do with the injuries to Jolly and Harrell.

I'm also interested to see what Barbre can do. Colledge is talented, but drives me crazy with his inconsistency. At the very least, I'm hoping Barbre can push Colledge to do better.

The WR's TT has drafted in the early rounds have caught on pretty quickly in training camp, so I'm hopeful Jordy Nelson will continue that trend. And as someone who believes that having a racially diverse workplace is a good thing, I can't help cheering for a white wide receiver.

Aaron Rodgers.
Here's one of the reasons:
Two years ago, I attended a Packers practice. As the players were leaving, they hung around by the fence talking to fans, signing autographs. Rodgers was accepting a piece of paper from a lady through the fence when the wind grabbed it and it spun away along the pavement. He turned around, chased it (it kept blowing out of his reach), and kept at it until he secured it, returned to the fence, asked the fan what her name was, and completed signing.
Now, in this day of so many spoiled millionaire players, I thought that was most impressive.
So, that's just another reason for me to root for him.

Thats awesome. When I was up there, I can say the same. Rodgers was really kind to everyone.

Rodgers is a great guy. He's young and hungry I'm sure. I too am happy to have him because he's a better teammate and more likable Packer to me but I don't hate Brett either.

Brett used to be that great guy too. He became extremely famous and extremely rich. He eventually lost the battle of being a decent guy when he didn't have to be. Brett's a spoiled, arrogant brat right now but it's understandable. I'm glad to see him gone because of it, but I hope this helps him come back to earth and have a shred of humility again.

It hilarious when he takes off his suit coat to try to get "personal" with the viewers...then finds it doesn't work so he puts it back on.

Yup, I noticed that true.

I love when they get that guy at the end doing the echo.

"To the left." To the left.

"To the right." To the right.

"Let's make this a dance."

Greatest viral video ever.

The name I haven't seen mentioned yet is Allen Barbre. I think he's the best chance to really upgrade the LG spot.

I'm somewhat curious to see what a supposedly healthy Abdul Hodge can do, but I still don't think he beats out Desmond Bishop.

The three way race for starting S jobs will be fun, as others have mentioned.

Somebody mentioned Blackmon, but I thought he was hobbled again with the same old foot injury?

Of course, the obvious answer to this question is Rodgers. If he doesn't step in and play solidly after all this it'll get ugly. Hopefully the fans will support him if he makes a few mistakes. He didn't put himself in this situation.

According to McCarthy, Blackmon should be fine. Here's the quote from the Press Gazette:

* On other injured guys: Cole probably fine. Blackmon ready to go. KGB was running Thursday in SwimEx, looks ready to go.

Only Harrell and Jolly are expected to not be healthy enough to practice on Monday. But then again, they are getting their physicals tomorrow, so we could still get some surprises.

Re: Who Ya Rooting for in Camp?

Any players that you are hoping make a splash in camp and prove themselves?

Personally, I'm hoping Rouse steps up and gains some ground on Collins and makes it a battle.

Also, it'd be nice to see if Ruvell can solidify himself as the #4 WR, maybe even challenge JJ for the #3 spot.

Ruvell as a #3; are you saucing again

I hope Spitz and Barbe have amazing camps and solidify our OL

I hope Brohm looks very good

I hope Bob Sanders steps up and starts designing some effective blitz schemes

[Partial]

I'm rooting for Will Blackmon. I think he has excellent potential as a returner and an end-around guy. He's got to stay healthy, though.

Like they say B, wish in one hand....

I too hope Barbre or Coston comes in and starts to dominate. That could leave Colledge to focus on becoming an NFL tackle.
