Packers Versus Jaguars - Official Preseason Game Thread

Given our receiving corps though, you have to admit Driver doesn't have to be full speed to make a major contribution. If he's 85% and not at risk of reinjuring himself, he'll be on the field.

If he's he's around 70%, I'd think they might send him out a few times a game, just to get him warmed up.

One thing I noticed about the run game is that the OL didn't cut block. They went belly to belly with the big guys. I think it might be a preseason courtesy not to cut probowl guys.

We just might see him out there in a wheelchair next week...

Oops, Partial. I misread your info and thought you were indicating who out there was better than our #4 as opposed to who we should have signed that was better than our #4.

I'm not going down that road again; I've put my free agency views to rest and am anxious to watch Favre break records this year and our defense develop.

I don't know who was worth the money and who was not and I've flushed all of my free agency wishes down the toilet for the season.

I'm curious to see how Favre responds without Driver. We have guys who are just as capable of making plays. Will they make them when they get the ball? We'll find out soon enough.

I'll save you the suspense; A lot of f-bombs and shouting.

Ok, lets try this.

You know how devastated I was when Thompson let Green leave. Not because Green was the end all, be all, but because we hadn't really developed ANYONE to take his place. Yes, he's old, yes he's on the downside, yes he got overpaid. NONE of it really matters as he's still a hell of a lot better than what we've got.

Ignore the money for just a minute. How would a backfield of Green, Morency, and Jackson look headed into this season?

In addition to forcing the defender to respect the run, we've now taken a little pressure off both the OL, and the WR corps.

Now. I still don't believe that Green needed the contract he got to remain in GB. There WAS an opportunity to lock him up before free agency. It is pretty likely that Green got lowballed. We had the money, we could have overpaid a little.

Partial - you're bitching about receivers, I could care less about receivers. We need RB's and TE's. They COMPLEMENT the Wr corps. Our young guys will be fine if we don't need to DEPEND on them.

As to the sarcasm, yes, I guess there has been enough of that. But what you don't realize, is, it is the only thing I've successfully used to "lower my expectations" as Bretsky puts it.

this team is not very good in several areas, and very unproven in others. Relying on "IFS" has never been a strong point for me.

I've been clear. I DO NOT LIKE Ted's short term plan. I like the long term one. I think this team will be pretty good in 2009, and perhaps 2008, if some things go pretty well.

Nothing like a nice Miller Chill to take the edge off after a nice game.

[RashanGary]

I hear ya RG. I'll eat my words and be humbled if we suck. I don't think Driver going down is enough of an excuse for this team to just fall off. We still have Favre. We still have an Oline that has been really good in pass pro. We still have WR's who can catch the ball and make plays with the ball. You have fair complaints and concerns. We'll just have to see how it goes against Philly. We've still outplayed three playoff teams in the preaseason. Things don't look as good as they did three hours ago but they still look good IMO.

[Carolina_Packer]

Looks like the only remaining "big name" free agent out there is Antonio Bryant. Koren Robinson cannot come back quickly enough!

Here's hoping that whatever happened to Driver isn't so serious.

[Partial]

Yes, has anyone verified if it is a foot sprain?

[Partial]

Corey Williams live on the post game show..

[Joemailman]

McCarthy has said the team doctor said it's a foot sprain.

[RashanGary]

haha, that Krob signing last year might come into play after all. I never thought that guy would get another chance here, but if Driver is out for 8+ weeks, Robinson might be our best bet.
