Cobb is an ex qb.

SEC player of the week for his QB play against a tough foe.

I want Cobb off KR's. He's great but he's such a maniac, he'll hurt himself eventually.

Holder? Oh yeah. he held on FG's for Kentucky and he had a number of big plays in that position.

The other spot Cobb is lethal at is passing and running from the slot.

Put in an option play where he gets a toss in the slot and then has the option to run or pass.

Once he gets comfortable, it's a bitch to stop and another headache for opposing DC's

How effective would that be in the NFL? Say, more effective that Rodgers throwing the pass--even if it's a surprise?

What I could gather from today's practice:

Graham Harrell looked pretty sharp.

Alex Green practiced, so his recovery appears to be coming along nicely. He's not at 100% though. Mike Daniels practiced for the first time.

Tori Gurley looks huge, but I can't figure out whether that's good or bad. He's stronger, but he can't lose any of the speed he had.

The plan is to play a lot of LBs--depending on the package. That includes subbing out A.J. Hawk and possibly Desmond Bishop in coverage. It sounds like D.J. Smith had a good day of practice.

DBs hit the tackling sled--which is unusual. Correcting the poor tackling of last season appears to be the top priority heading into the season.

Jarrett Bush was the standout in practice, and he appears to be ahead of Sam Shields and Davon House at CB. Jordy Nelson also stood out.

Jamari Lattimore remains at ILB. Brad Jones was moved back outside.

Evan Dietrich-Smith is "clearly" ahead of Sampson Genus at backup OC--accoring to the packers.com blog.

Sounds like Charles Woodson is going to play safety more than the 10% that McCarthy hinted at this offseason. He lined up at safety in the base. The Packers played base 25% last year and say they'll play it more this year. M.D. Jennings lined up as the starter in nickel.

ARod is probably the best passer in the NFL, we don't need much help in the passing department. The idea with an option play for Cobb is to put some poor bastard on defense in a trick bag. if he comes up to stop Cobb running, RC will throw a pass over him. If he stays back in cover, Randall will run very effectively. If they give the defender some needed help, that will open up an area in the interior of the coverage. MM will find that seam and rip it up for big gainers.

It's a play, not an offense.

We call this play "Phat Booty" and it's a bitch near the goal line.

Finley's wife said he has a slight/mild concussion. I guess he got it at practice on Thursday.

During a practice in shells? That's not a good sign!

"You can see the explosion," McCarthy said. "They definitely add something to our group, the defensive line. I love (Worthy's) energy. He jumps around. He’s excited. He brings a lot of energy. He’s very energetic in a particular meeting we had last night, things like that. So I think he’s going to be in position to make an impact for us.”

Doesn't sound like a player who has a penchant for taking plays off. Of course, he could be trying to impress the new bosses....

Good thing his brain's in his skull, otherwise he'd probably drop that, too.....

[Tony Oday]

He did drop it aka concussion.

That is what I am talking about. Expect Worthy to start not Wilson.

Well, hopefully the explosion translates over to run-stopping acumen. That's what Wilson has right now more than anyone else except Raji and Pickett.

When the hell is JH going to give us a live report from camp?
