That was a good move. At the 00:42 mark of the video, it looks like Datko has him mirrored, but Perry makes a quick move that Datko can't counter.

Like to see the comment about Tramon.

There is a vid on JS that shows some of Perry's ability. He pushes up field and put on a heck of a spin move against Datko. Looks quick on his feet, that's for sure.

Double digit sacker.

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

Cobb will add a lot to the team.

This kid is a born leader. I first saw an interview with him after UK had beaten a division II team in a half assed effort. Cobb was dressed in a coat and tie and absolutely ripped his teammates for the lackluster effort. i asked a buddy who is a huge UK fans which coach he was. My pal informed me that he wasn't a coach, he was Randall Cobb. The kid takes his job seriously.

Last pre-season I caught a moment in garbage time at the end of a pre-season time. Cobb broke the huddle in a hurry-up offense. All the other rook WR's turned to Cobb to ask their assignments. He got 'em lined up and quickly got in position.

Leadership comes naturally to the hard workin' kid.

If Shields ends up falling down, I'd like to see House grab an outside spot and Hayward the inside spot behind Woodson.

And stop with the porn there, KY. I read that post about Cobb and got this funny stirring in my parts.

Seems that Shields had two bad days and followed them with a worse one in pads, which is both surprising and worrisome. I expected Shields to be one of those guys who could both rebound and take a big step forward with a complete offseason of team workouts and coaching. With only one year at CB in college, I had largely attributed his drop off last year to the shortened offseason. But, it seems like he's slid even farther.

The more I hear about how far he seems to have regressed the less confident I am that the light has suddenly gone on for Bush as well. It's early, but it sure seems like we have some unexpected concerns at corner.

Wrongo, Bobby. Kampman switched sides in his first two or three years on the Packers. He started on the right, then moved to the left. As a starter, it might be accurate he never switched.

Hayward fits the profile of a zone corner for the Capers scheme. Capers like zone blitzes which is critical due to lack of pass rush.

Inside, as a slot CB he does. But Capers has been running man to man on the outside with Tramontana, Woodson, Shields and Bush. It sounds like Hayward got a shot outside over the weekend but I haven't read how his speed played out. If he is to see the field in dime or nickel, he still needs to show something.

The last camp report I read was that in dime, Wood and Bush played in the slots as starters.

The two most impressive defensive players, thus far, are Dezman Moses and Casey Hayward, according to the JSOnline staff and the Press-Gazette.

[Smidgeon]

If Shields ends up falling down, I'd like to see House grab an outside spot and Hayward the inside spot behind Woodson.

I think that's what I'd like to see too. And I think that's why they were drafted. Hayward was drafted to apprentice to Woodson and eventually replace him in the slot.

[smuggler]

I'm hoping Shields can pick it up. I know they don't like his tackling, but he's fast and has good ball skills. I hope it works out for him on the outside.

Nice to see so much depth at the CB position even with Shields struggling.

[Joemailman]

Sounds like Shields had a better day today. http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports...rt=newestfirst

Heres another report this one from espn not that they are all that reliable but Cobb is sounding really good so far. http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth
