What player(s) do you expect to break out this season?

I think the House love might be kind of premature. He's looked good so far in limited roles but the whole thing seems rooted in the 2012 camp battle between Shields, House, and Bush. A battle that ultimately resulted in Bush starting against the 49ers week 1. As of now Williams and Shields seem pretty entrenched as starters.

If I remember correctly, Bush started only because House was already hurt by the season opener. In his JSO interview this past January Joe Whitt said there would be competition at both CB positions. What makes you say that Williams and Shields are entrenched starters?

Just read a fluff piece on Williams. It sounds like he's in fantastic friggin shape and ready to roll. There was also a really interesting comment on Woodson. Apparently Williams met two of Woodson's trainers and both said Wood was the hardest worker they've seen. I woulda never guessed that. Woodson has a lot of pride. I hope he gets 5 more picks this year. That guy loves football.

Isn't he two pick 6s away from all time?

I agree with the entrenched starters idea. The reason is that they're paying Tramon Bank and SS has produced as of late. It's going to take SS regressing in order for him to loose his spot and it's going to take Tramon being canned in order for him to loose his. I doubt either of those things are going to happen.

Man, isn't this the best problem in the world to have? The only better one would be if we had a back up QB trying to push Rodgers out of the starting role.

they use to find woodson running the bleachers in lambeau alone all the time, like non stop, during the lambeau field tours

they made it sound like he was at the stadium from almost sun up to sun down every day

the guy doesn't look like a workout warrior at all, but he worked his ass off to become the player he is

Where did you hear or see this? I hadn't heard that one.

Me either; I heard many stories about Driver as a workout warrior...and Robert Brooks before him

But I never heard anything about Woodson

I think Red is drunk

[Fritz]

Sometimes too they'd find him in the back room of Zimmerman's Meat Market in Appleton, working over the sides of beef hanging back there.

And doing sitting-ups in dumpster-filled alleyways while homeless people shot up and sat around a small fire.

Damn.

Woodson is the career leader with 12.
Woodson is second, tied with Sharper, at 11.

The first Woodson is Rod, the second one is Charles!

During the summer, I heard he would chop down trees with a beat-up ax and run through kneedeep snow in the mountains outside Green Bay.

[Fritz]

That's also true. In fact, several times it was reported that during those runs he would encounter black bears and wrassle 'em. Once, in the spring, a reporter trailing Woodson spotted him working out on a mountain trail, running uphill while carrying a boulder. Woodson saw a mother bear carrying her cub, so he shifted the boulder under one arm, raced until he caught up with the mother bear, then knocked the cub out of her grasp. A forced fumble, for sure.

While the Soviets watched with growing concern.

With buckets on his feet. And do vertical situps from a hayloft.

I'm sorry, but that's just not true. The real story is this:

Being the humanitarian individual that he is, Woodson befriended the mother bear who was still weak from hibernating. He shifted the boulder under one arm and carried the cub under the other until they got to the stream where the mother bear was headed for the spring spawning run of fish. After being sure both the mother bear and cub were well fed, Woodson continued on with his work out.
