Who is your favorite dark horse to make the team?

[hawaii50]

Anyone? Did Arliss Beach look quick? Can he cut fast?

GO PACKERS ! FAITH FOR 2006 !!

He hit the holes quickly and ran downhill, he looked like a natural fit for the offense. When davenport gets the ball he kind of trods for the first few yards, same with herron...when beach got the ball you could tell it was a different rb b/c he hit the line hard. he looked good on saturday, but we'll see if he's consistent next week.

i also like jason hunter and ruvell martin as guys i'm pulling for to make the team. and was it just me or did #59 tracy white make a lot of plays in the 4th quarter?! I didn't see last week's game, but i heard that he made some plays last week as well. anybody else notice his play?

Welcome to the forum, hawaii50!

I agree that Beach looked like the best of the bunch at RB on Saturday. If he keeps it up, I'd like him to win the top backup job over any of the other guys we have in camp right now.

Missed most of the 4th quarter ... so I can't comment on Tracy White.

[SkinBasket]

my pick is Jason Hunter DE
He reminds me of a young KGB. He caused both of Montgomery sacks last night. His rush on the outside caused the QB to step up and Montgomery got the sack.

Hunter shouldn't even be in camp. We've got one skill deficient, one-dimensional DE in KGB. Why would we want two? You've made it clear you tremendously overvalue KGB's value to this team, though, so I guess this isn't a surprise.

I thought White actually looked better in the SD game. He's looked good in both games, even if it was against 2nd-4th string players. But being involved in so many plays counts for something. I'm not sure if he's a dark horse though, with his experience coming in.


I like Boger as the dark horse. I thought he played a lot better than several of our DBs against SD. He was aggesive and controlled. If nothing else, he'll certainly make a ST contribution.

But speed burns at DE and Hunter has it. He has shown enough talent to keep and eye on the rest of the preseason.

If that's all it took, we would line up ex-track guys at DE - and they would probably look identicle to Hunter. Unfortunatately, no matter how many heartwarming stories JSO does about him, he's still ineffective, lacks ANY kind of technique - hand, foot, or balance, and is a bigger detriment to the denfense than he is a contributor when he's completely taken out of just about every play he's on the field. You can say, "well he batted down that pass." Well, that was because, once again, he was being manhandled half a county away from the QB. One batted pass in extensive time in two games against 2nd-4th string OLs is not production.

I'd like to see the Pack trade in Kenny Peterson for Johnny Jolly. It's a much better name.

Brett Favre. Come on this kid had potenital.

So Line Hunter up on the other side and put Kampman at Tackle. Send the heat. KGB is no where near as fast as Hunter.

Balogna, people said the same thing about KGB. Spent a year on the practice squad, and came out with double-digit sacks. I think if you put this guy on the practice squad he gets snatched up. I say let him practice for a year and situational rush and special teams, from there, we'll see what happens.

Great idea. Then watch as the opposing team gains 395 yards rushing the ball to either side of the field because our DEs are being blocked 10-15 yards behind the line of scrimmage and have left both sides wide open. Speed rushers are specialists because they lack the ability to stop the run and hold the corners. We're already paying one speed rush "specialist" obscene money. Why the hell would we pick up another one? If you want speed off the edge, you bring a LB or a safety or a CB. You don't give up both sides of the line using two one trick pony DEs.

I meant for 3rd downs. I wouldn't even line KGB up on anything except 3rd downs. I say play Cullin Jenkins or Montgomery 1st and 2nd.

[SkinBasket]

I'm just saying, until KGB is gone (it seems that day will never, ever come), there's no way we can afford to carry ANOTHER one dimensional DE on the roster. Especially one that hasn't shown anything in the preseaon except an unbelievable ability to be stymied on every play.

Signed by Green Bay as a non-drafted free agent on May 5, 2006

He will make the team now noway he gets cut.

Good call. I said Beach, so I think I have a shot.
