2007 Opening Day WR's ????????????

[mmmdk]

I like Homey Da Clowney as our badly-needed deep threat. I think he has a good chance of being a Bernard Berrain. At worst, he's Troy Williamson. At least we didn't draft him at #7!

I just watched Clowney on YouTube and I was impressed.

Do notice that the VTech QB was NEVER hitting Clowney in stride. Clowney has awesome speed, good/great adjustment to the underthrown ball and he's not afraid of traffic plus pretty good hands. Clowney had his man beat on 6-7 deep passes but often had to turn 180 degrees to catch the rock and hence got tackled. A great QB would have turned 5 or 6 of those passes into TDs by throwing in front or in stride. Those were sure TDs that the VTech QB (Glennin?) blew - big time.

David Clowney has huge upside for a 5th rounder; the guy could easily be a future # 2 and certainly # 3. Not bad.

i think james jones is close to a lock because of his draft status. but anyone get the feeling that clowney will be better than jones, at least this season?

I wonder how much $ it would take to get him to change his first name to "Homey D"

I bet he's heard every one of them and there's just no way we're gonna come up with anything new...(then again he can't hear us and we haven't heard every one of 'em)

The small school doesn't bother me any. I am anxious to see how Jennings does in his second year. Can he push Driver to be the number one guy?

I'm thinking with a Jim Jones on the roster, we'd better stop talking about drinking the Kool-Aid.

Absolutely not but that would be awesome. DD is pretty incredible.

Jones looks pretty good on film too. He recovers very well to underthrown balls, he's very physical, and he's got good hands and leaping ability. Seems to be the kind of guy we need in the red zone.

This is by far the hardest position to perdict. I think Jones will be our red zone guy this year. After watching his vid, he scored a lot of touchdowns. So I don't really think he is our 3rd, 4th, etc, I think he will be used mainly in the red zone.

I say we keep 5. This is not the order that I think will start, just who I think will make the active roster.

Driver
Jennings
Jones
Clowney
Holliday

Practice squad:

Martin
Bioford (I think he say a good shot at being our KR/PR)

Cut:

Ferguson

I think when Robinson comes back he makes the active roster and Holliday goes to practive squad.

Can you put anybody on the practice squad? I thought there were restrictions about who can go on the practice squad based on playing time, years of experience or something. Is Martin even eligible, considering he was on the active roster most games last year?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Martin on the practice squad?

He showed enough last year that somebody would scoop him up as a backup WR.

[GBRulz]

We def have alot of bodies this year and I'm excited to see the battles for WR come into play. I think the only lock is DD as our #1.

[Merlin]

I thought Martin was the biggest WR we had? Does anyone know what his speed is like? Holiday looks like he could be something as well. Jones will get a serious look because of his draft status which is unfortunate to those WR's that have already shown they can do the job.

[SD GB fan]

well thats good for us right? that means whoever does make the team will be able to play well since we have a bunch of WR. unless..it just means we have a bunch of WRs taht are the same level, a low level.

[pittstang5]

I hoping one or two of the 50 WRs that Pack has on the roster will be good on KRs and PRs. I hated seeing Woodson returning punts last year and held my breath everytime (worried about injuries).

I think the Packer staff liked what they saw from Bodiford for these types of duties before the injury. I think he has a legitimate shot at making the team for this alone.

A little off topic - but weren't they considering Blackmon as a PR or KR at one point?

With all the potential talent at WR, Fergie's got to be worried about his job. One thing in his favor, I always hear that the coaching staff loves his work ethic. But, if you can't produce and stay healthy, you're not going to make it in the NFL.

True, but I kind of like holliday more. In the limited action he saw he really impressed me. He was more natural in his route running.
