Friday's Camp Notes - Hodge Lays the Wood on Herron

[BF4MVP]

Who's number one?

Brady Poppinga = Most overrated Packer by forum members in here.

I would agree with that.

2nd most overrated packer

Why? I don't think he's that bad....

Certainly not bad, but he isn't a complete player yet by any means. He has the ability to get open, but so has David Martin for 6 years.

Am I the only one who is slightly uncomfortable when I read the phrase "laying the wood" in this forum?

I agree that Poppinga is a bit overrated here. Not that he can't become a very good LB, just that he hasn't done anything to deserve all the praise he is getting here. It's amazing how alot of these same people dog on Barnett for his bad tackling, when Poppinga had a bit of that going last year also.

As far a Lee goes, I think he has much more upside than Martin. I hope Martin gets cut. I'd rather give Alcorn a chance. Martin will never work out in GB. Lee, on the other hand, IMO, if healthy, will have a better year than Bubba. In fact, I think that Bubba is more overrated than Lee here.

I hope that Beach continues to shine in the last two preseason games, and in practice, so that they have to let Nejeh go, or better yet, make a trade for Nejeh. They are both bruisers, but Beach seems to have better acceleration and explosiveness. I love Nejeh on 3rd and 1, but Beach can be just as effective in short yardage, with the possibility of breaking one.

There is a story on the front page of Packerchatters talking about how impressive Carlton Brewster is looking in camp, and we will be giving him an opportunity to return kicks Monday night. I sure hope that someone steps up in this role, because I'm tired of seeing Nejeh back there returning kicks.

I'm of the belief that you have to find a way to get your best players on the field. In that spirit, I still think it should be Hawk, Hodge and Barnett. If they aren't the best three yet, they will be shortly. Or so I've been led to believe.

Truthfully, Hodge gets so much press that I want him to start just so I can see what all they hype is about.
