I just got back from TC. It was packed, as bad as it was when Favre was here. I was hoping Favre fans would stay away.
The first thing I noticed was that AR had #4's spot in the front center of their warmup routine. That was about the only time I noticed #4 at practice because his red #4 always stood out in the middle of the front row. Today it was a red #12 in the front and center. That was wierd, it made it hit home a little.
Rodgers looked. . . OK. His passes had plenty of zip. He seemed to hit throw very accurately, and did not hold the ball long at all. A couple times he rolled out but other than that it was drop back and wing it quick and decisively. He seemed to complete a lot of passes but didn't have as many big plays as Brohm.
Brian Brohm looked excellent for a young QB. He made the play of the day IMO when Jennings ran a deep fade (probably about 35 yards downfield). Jennings and the CB were locked up when Brohm let it fly. Jennings exploded away from said DB, eventually hauling in a perfect bomb in stride. It was pretty sweet.
The star of the day IMO was Greg Jennings. Several times he was locked up and covered well but exploded away from defenders to create separation and catch passes. He doesn't drop anything and he is extremely gifted at getting separation on DB's.
None of the big WR's dropped easy balls. Driver and JOnes each dropped very difficult deep balls but for the most part Driver, Jennings, Jones, Nelson and Martin caught everything thrown their way. There were a couple of the scrubs who dropped passes, but all in all this was the cleanest group of WR's I've ever seen as far as catching the ball.
Like I said earlier, Brohm really stood out. He made a lot of very nice passes and very few bad ones. He looks like he belongs. I remember in the past watchign Ingle Martin and just knowing there was a huge difference between he and Rodgers. Not only did Brohm fit in, but so did Flynn. Flynn seemed to do a nice job hitting his WR's. Brohm and Rodgers seemed to make more plays but Flynn never had the "wow, that was awfull" moments that I remember from Ingle Martin.
Brandon Jackson is much thicker than I remember. He clearly gained weight. His legs looked thick and developed almost like a young Ahman Green. Last year his legs looked thin and underdeveloped for a RB. You can clearly see his hard work. DeShawn Wynn also looked very fit. Last year he had a little belly fat and looked a little soft. This year he's still big but he looks much more cut. I was waiting to see how Wynn looked to get my hopes up because I really liked his talent last year and I"m officially on board. Sign me up for the Wynn fan club.
Jermichael Finely caught a very nice deep seam route (probably 30 yards down field).
Those were just some quick observations. I was closer to the offense and also more interested with Rodgers taking the helm so most of my observations are on offense today.
