One positive thing I see...

Is that (in general) our defensive players are pretty good tacklers. It used to drive me crazy watching our guys bouncing off the other teams' players or flailing around with thos egod-foresaken arm tackles. This was a pet peeve over the last few years.

This year, I am noticing that we wrap guys up pretty well, and there are more good solo tackles going down. Our secondary guys seem to hit pretty hard too.

They need to work on coverages, but hey - sure tackling is a basic, fundamental skill that all good teams exhibit.

Another reason why I am glad they drafted AJ.

The tackling is there, the coverage is .

We looked good on tackling and run support, but LOST in pass defense.

I hate Kurt Shottenheimer. He is a worthless turd of a coach. Our secondary will improve the minute he is fired. The sooner the better.

[Bossman641]

I don't know whether to blame the loss of Bates or the acquisition of Schottenheimer.

Collins looks like he has regressed this year.

At the beginning of the year, all i heard was how good the Packers secondary was going to be...how the Packers strong point is against the pass...pshhhh...yeah right. That's why we're losing games!

Well, often the secondary's play depends on the pass rush. It's a hardworking bunch but there's no one who provides that constant threat of a sack.

There are other positives, though. We have a young kicker and punter who are developing. Nick Collins played well in stretches. Jennings caught a TD.

The young guard Colledge supposedly played okay.

It's a work in progress.

this team will get better and better as the season progresses.
It may not translate to any wins, but I dont think that is the goal of the staff this season. Wins are a bonus as they turn this team over from Sherman's players and develop the talent that they want here long term.

We are a couple years away from the playoffs. Probably 2 or 3 so why dont we all just chill out, sit back, and enjoy the ride?

I don't think Favre wants to enjoy the ride, he wants to win now... As do I....

It's just not gonna happen. We are rebuilding and giving the young guys a chance to learn and get experience.

the problem is that today, we did get a decent pass rush

harris and woodson played better today. but collins does look like he's gone backwards in his development, manuel looked pretty solid. bush got burned once that i saw, i think for a td. and Grabby McGoo, is still up to his old tricks and is a liability whenever he's on the field because he can be called for holding or pass interference on almost every single play

My positive is more in depth draft talk.

[Willard]

Another positive thing:

Driver is on pace to catch 120 balls for 2000 yards!!!!!

errrr, and zero touchdowns
