NFL NETWORK 8 EST... 8/1/07... Inside Training Camp

I think Martin will end up beating Jones for the #3. I think having NFL experience is going to pay off for him, in the end.

Who wants to join the Ruvell Martin fan club? There's plenty of room.

Martin is just a guy. A tall guy, though. He'll be an NFL acceptable 4th.

Maybe we should start the

Just a Guy Martin Club ?

I've always been on that fan club even before TC last season.

I hope Ruvell progress's this season. I like his size and he has a solid attitude.

You guys better hope you don't get derailed.



Your #3 WR

I am so far very impressed with the potential of this receiving corp.
A 3 receiver set with Jones in the slot places two very reliable guys on the flanks, with what sounds like a very tough slot receiver inside.
It's also intriguing to visualize a 4 receiver set with a speed demon like Clowny (if he pans out) spreading the field for the 3 'hands' guys.

Well then. . . do you think the WCO will make it's comeback in Green Bay?

Maybe we could get a TE and FB in on ' the Action, Jackson '.

I think you go with strength.
If your wideouts look like a very stellar group, your o line is now experienced and improved enough to abandon the max protect concept, your tight ends are nothing to brag about, and your running backs are -at least in the early going - not battle-tested, there might be nothing wrong with Favre having the opportunity to open things up and throw to more 3 & 4 receiver sets (as long as the protection IS sound enough to consistently guard him).
If your team is run-oriented - and you can win that way - great!
If your team has 'flying circus' potential - and your best chances of winning are through the air - great!
It would be fun to offer #4 the opportunity to really spread the ball around, score often, win a lot of games, and give opposing def. coordinators the fits.
