Game Day: Pack vs Atlanta

[woodbuck27]

I can't help you there, Woody! I didn't see him at all.

I think someone mentioned he was thrown to once in the end zone ... but didn't come up with the catch.

Gardner or Ruvell Martin? I thought that David Martin missed one in the end?

Gardner.

David Martin missed several catches and generally looked bad, but that's another story.

I didn't see or hear anything regarding Ruvell Martin.

i heard the announcer towards the end mention ruvell was in the game, but i didn't see him do anything.

i remember seeing gardner in on exactly one play. and i have no idea what he did on that one play. i want to say he was on the ground

[esoxx]

I saw Lee play on kickoff return unit. Didn't see him much on offense.

Prediction: Marc Boerigter gets cut soon.

Seems to me that Rod Gardner wasn't effective, and you didn't like Boe.

Question: Did Ruvell Martin get any work tonight?

Only three WR's made receptions. DD, Jennings and Ferguson.

Question:How did Gardner look - anyone?

Woody, it's not that I don't "like" Boe. I wish him the best just like any other player. I feel he will be cut soon b/c from what I saw he wasn't even out on the field when Favre was in the game. If he was he didn't have any throws his way. My understading of Boe is he's lost a step on that nice speed he had to go along with that size. He's a poor route runner that very stiff in and out of cuts. I see him out of the league after this pre-season. JAG.

Gardner didn't stand out either, but has more skills than Boe at this point. We'll see what happens.

I'd believe both Rod Gardner and Marc Boerigter are disappointing the team. I hoped Rod Gardner would show alot more than he has.

I feel (see) that Ruvell Martin has the inside track on both, and they were given a chance to demonstrate something. They failed again tonight. The have been failing - they failed.

Ted feels that Ruvell Martin looks fine, and didn't need to play as much as DD and Jennings (First Team). It seems more obvious now they are #1 and #2 WR's on OUR team? Ruvell Matins right there behind them,

Marc Boerigter is nearly out the door.

I say cut both Rod Gardner and Marc Boerigter ASAP

Go with WR's DD and Greg Jennings and Ruvell Martin and Robert Ferguson (as both can contribute on ST's).

I don't like more than 5 WR's and we need that spot for an extra RB/FB. Arliss Beach deserves another REAL look.

Ahman Green is back next game.

I say start cutting the deadwood ASAP, to simplify things. If the milk is souring toss it out.

GO PACKERS ! HOLD FAITH IN 2006 !!

Did you also catch 17-10 on the road against the superbowl champs?

You are a Vikings homer. I don't think I've heard anything negative from you on them. Steelers aren't Super Bowl champs when it comes to preseason. Apparently, Cowher couldn't care less about preseason. Last year, his first team offense scored ZERO points in the preseason. Steelers got bitch slapped by Arizona last week. Steelers are the 49ers of the preseason.

KFAN made it sound like the Vikings weren't very impressive. Typical preseason fare. Big Ben and Fast Willie played one series, and we all know how dependent Pittsburgh is on him. Wiggins got a fluke from Bradley, they couldn't run the ball, and Smoot got burned again. Sounded like another ugly game. That's just my take from fan line. I didn't know the score, but I thought they had lost by what I heard on the radio.

What was your take... without the Purple goggles?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Alright. I heard Vikings whine line, and I just got done reading through this thread. I can't wait for winners and losers. I'm getting up at 7AM to watch the rebroadcast of this game.

[Partial]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the Bubba TD glanced off of DAVID MARTIN'S hands...not Jennings...?

I noticed a couple of balls bouncing off of David Martin tonight......that dude needs a plane ticket out of town.

amen. He looked like hands 'o steel tonight.

[Tarlam!]

I'm just now listening to the game - HOW EXCITING!!!!

[Guiness]

Posting 'bout the pagan plunderers - on a Pack game day thread. *sigh*

Longwell kicking to the end zone? What's up with that?

Don't get me wrong - I'm not dissing Longwell. He was an awesome kicker, and I think he'll serve the Vikings well. But how do you sudenly start kicking to the EZ at this point in his career? That's odd.

A change of scenery can help a player if he wasn't performing to his ability, but that wasn't Longwell's issue.

Longwell said for years under Sherman that he was capable of reaching the endzone if he was allowed to kick away. Sherman's philosophy was to kick higher and toward one corner of the field. Nothing wrong with that approach. Distance isn't everything. Net distance is.

That's interesting, I didn't know that. He's been kicking them pretty deep in the two games thus far.
