Will Blackmon

[b bulldog]

I am very happy for Will, I hope now all of his injuries are behind him.

His scoring two special team touchdowns in one game is very rare.

I read where it wa the first time packer had done it since like 1986.

Blackmon's second score came on punt coverage; it was the first time the Packers scored twice on special teams since 1986 and he was the first Packer to do so since Travis Williams on Nov. 2, 1969, at Pittsburgh

Well spoken or not that return took balls.

Anyone got a clip, or a utube link for that return?

You can watch it at Packers.com or at NFL.com. Here's a link:

Damn, I just watched the play again and looks like Blackmon caught the ball on the run without breaking stride. Sick.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'm impressed that Blackmon came back so strong from a broken foot.

Didn't Blackmon play receiver in college?

His first position at Boston Colledge was CB but the team asked him to move to WR in his senior year, as it was felt that he could most help the team playing that position.

He has a ton of talent and upside if he can shake the injury jinx.

He was one of if not the the most exciting picks for me personally- as a Packer fan 0 - in that draft.

He's a burner for the endzone if he can get the ball. Lots of talent.

ie punt returner. Blackmon owns that and Woodson needs to just play CB.

Same here. I was really intrigued when I read that he may have been a second round pick if he hadn't played receiver for a year. Speaks volumes about his talent, as well as his willingness to be a team player. I think he's going to be a hell of a player. He'll be a big help in the return game right away (like he was last week), and I think he'll eventually develop into a good corner, and perhaps take one of the starting spots a couple years down the road, because Harris and Woodson aren't getting any younger.

Lets just pray he gets the wheels under him.

From there he'll be just really fine.
