Rodgers looked friggin nifty in the pocket on that TD pass to Jennings. He bounced right, bounced left and threw a strike. Drivers long catch was cool. Guy still has it.
Nifty? Still has it? WTF did all the honey action age him over the offseason?
I wonder where Ross fits in to the picture. He was glued to a few guys for a LONG time while Rodgers took advantage of the cannot touch the QB rules. On his pass completion to Driver, two players (including Perry) could have kicked him down.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Him and Van Rotten are two guys who might be flying under the radar.
The highlight BY FAR was TJ Lang kicking a long field goal. I'm not one to brag about myself as you know, but I always thought Lang was a good athlete, and I predicted he would make a field goal. I don't know if you have ever tried to kick a 25 yard field goal, but it is hard as hell. Still, I was surprised that the other linemen were completely pathetic. Professional athletes ought to be able to swing their leg in a coordinated fashion. I guess Sitton hit one non-embarassing ball.
What would have been cool would be for McCarthy to take a shot. He made clowns out of the other fat boys, why didn't he take a turn in the dunk tank?
I'd appreciate it if you'd look me in the eye when I'm talking to you, son.
[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.

I've tried and it's very difficult. That thing isn't exactly round, and anything other than dead center is a hook or a slice.
His problem is that he still has to think about what he's doing when he's out there, so he's a little slow and deliberate when it comes to anything other than "pin your ears back and go for the QB."
It's just an issue of Perry having a lot longer to go to make the transition from DE to OLB than Matthews did. He's absolutely physically capable of doing all the drops and recognition stuff, he just has to think about it to do it now. With repetition, eventually (hopefully) he won't.
He is, however, already better than Walden. Unless the Packers have a use for a player who, when his responsibility is "outside contain" will get sucked inside on EVERY SINGLE PLAY, you can cut Walden right now.
After rewinding thru the DVR - the one standout on defense for me was Worthy.
Perry looked lost - but I was impressed with Worthy. Nobody else really stood out.
Technically speaking, do you actually rewind a DVR?
I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up

I agree... I attribute it to the position change as well. I'm hoping he can eventually be something close to Lamarr Woodley.
