WR options

Don't forget the possibility of drafting VDavis.. Fast TE that can stretch the field and become an important weapon... ie Shockey / Gonzalez

I'm afraid JWalk won't be back - simply because TT won't pay him the dough he's looking for, period. In that case we're left with Donald Driver and a whole lot of Billy Schroeders. As for Chaz Rogers, I'd say pass. He's shown no sense of understanding what it takes to be an NFL player, unless you count modeling your behavior on Cletidus Hunt understanding what an NFL player does...

I'd agree with this.

The receivers will look infinitely better with a running game. That, paired with the fact they're going to use all 3 tight ends. It is also comforting to know that martin and lee are both former wide receivers converted to tight end.

I don't think will be the best group in the league if Walker doesn't play, but I think they'll be competitive and not at all a problem if they stay healthy.

EVERYONE will look better with remotely qualified starters at C and OG.........hint hint.....TT.....please find go find us at least two of the three and let the rest of the yahoos on the roster fight it out for the last spot.

I'm not so sure those starters aren't currently on the roster. I thought those rooies did pretty good towards the end of the season. With another training camp under their belt with a simplier system, they might be players.

This logic would be a huge mistake. Last year the treat of the practice squad many were hyping was Atlas Herrion; this year it is Chris White and Coston. Those guys are bonuses, but it's foolish to rely on them. We have the money; go sing two and let the rest fight each other.

Packers | Lucas scores another TD in NFL Europe action
Sun, 16 Apr 2006 06:33:43 -0700

The Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Green Bay Packers WR Chad Lucas caught a 22-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter for the Amsterdam Admirals, and finished with three catches for 60 yards in his NFL Europe game Saturday, April 15. The Admirals beat the Rhein Fire 35-31. Last week, he had a league-record four TD receptions.

I was looking for an NFLE thread to put this in and couldn't find it.

the line up of Driver-Gardner-Boerictor-Ferguson - would be impressive

i would say below average. But I'll give um a chance.

[MJZiggy]

Are you filling in for Wist in his absence?

[Harlan Huckleby]

DRiver is a gritty player. Those guys aren't gonna scare anybody.


The packers are really crappy on offense, as things appear right now.

[Oscar]

Right now all these guys are just names on paper. I'm gonna wait and see what our new coaching staff can put together. The same players in a different system?? I have hope. And thats all I have right now. We can analyze these things to death... I think were gonna be a lot better than most think.

I agree Harlan,

You have Driver, who is an OK #1, but in reality belongs as an outstanding #2 WR. Then Gardner is IMO an average #3. Boerrighter is a #4, and Ferguson is dog crap as a WR...and I'm not talking Air Bud.

If they use the tightends more and actually run the ball it won't be too bad.

Keep in mind in 2002 they were decent despite no defense to speak of, and Driver and Ferguson carrying the load as receivers.

As long as 2 of the 3 backs stay healthy they'll be average on O. It's the D i'm worried about.

Defense and OL are my concerns. Honestly I'm not that concerned about the RB's, WR's, or TE's.

[Harlan Huckleby]

the guards and Flannagan were a train wreck in 2005.

I'm gonna guess that the Oline will be better next fall. Klemm is mercifully moved to tackle, Flanny's replacement will be better, and Whittiker has no where to go but up.

I don't think Favre or Walker will be with the team.

Running backs will be better. Especially since we'll have some.

I don't know, very shakey situation on O, maybe they'll be a bit better than 2005.
