James Jones is impressive again tonight! Props to TT!

Tubby · 08-23-2007, 08:14 PM

James Jones is looking great

TitleTown088 · 08-23-2007, 08:15 PM

That didn't look good. Driver banged his hand like he knew he was hurt bad. James Jones better go to the probowl. ****.

GB12 · 08-23-2007, 08:18 PM

I'm really don't think Driver's injury looked that bad. I'd be surprised if it keeps him out for even a week.

TitleTown088 · 08-23-2007, 08:25 PM

ON a side note.. the running game looked atrocious tonight.

Damn, I hope it was a sprain.

princefielder28 · 08-23-2007, 09:26 PM

Aaron Rodgers needs to learn how to get rid of the ball quicker, taking sacks does not benefit anyone

jackalope · 08-23-2007, 09:35 PM

Corey White is moving the ball really well.

Offensive Player of the Game: WR James Jones
Defensive Player of the Game: LB Desmond Bishop

I'd say Barnett for Defensive player of the game. He was everywhere.

Xiomera · 08-23-2007, 09:52 PM

Any update on Driver's injury? Man, I will be pissed if he misses significant time. He is one of my favorite players on teams other than Detroit.

jackalope · 08-23-2007, 09:53 PM

After Ingle's and Thompson's poor performances, I would guess we go with 2 QBs on the 53 man roster.

Green Bay is the one team that could undoubtedly get away with that. Favre is indestructable.

Indy could aswell.

As for Driver, I haven't heard anything yet.

Boston · 08-23-2007, 10:09 PM

Did we blitz at all today?

PackerLegend · 08-23-2007, 10:10 PM

Keeping Driver in there was stupid as hell!! When Favre came out Driver should have to, he has nothing he needs to prove and now he could be seriously hurt for a meaningless game. why keep Driver in when we pretty much have a log jam of guys behind who have things left to prove, need the game experience, and exactly which ones are going to be starting.

MOD EDIT: There's no need for that.

Woah buddy calm down. First of all this is the 3rd preseason game, the one the starters usually play the most in. Second it's not like it happened in the 4th quarter or something. It was in the first half, completely reasonable for him to be in. I doubt it's anything serious, maybe a sprain at the most.

It happens man, that's all you can say about it. Granted if he had been in the fourth quarter of this game and this would have happened then it would have been a huge deal but this is just football being football. It sucks.

mil_brew_fan · 08-23-2007, 10:48 PM

Injuries are part of the game...

Overall, the Packers look good defensive and mediocre on offense

princefielder28 · 08-23-2007, 11:16 PM

The Driver injury is a big deal, but not as big of a deal as it would've been at the beginning of training camp. Through training camp and the preseason games we've seen the emergence of James Jones and that takes the pressure of losing Driver off a little bit. I would be very confident with Jones and Jennings as our starting wideouts for the first two weeks or so. Plus, Bubba seems to be Bubba of old and a legit target in the passing game.

God I hope so. He was putting zero weight on that leg/ankle and when he tried he looked to be in serious pain. Hopefully it's nothing more than a strain or a small sprain.

Right now it looks like a foot sprain. According to the University of Michigan Health Services a mild foot sprain takes only a few weeks in recovery time, but a severe foot sprain could take up to 6 weeks or longer to recover from. Hopefully it's the mild scenario.

True, it would definitely be interesting to see the youngsters taking over the receiving game for a week or 2. Who would play slot? Martin?

neko4 · 08-24-2007, 01:12 AM

Jennings actually did something
Bubba looks like he could comeback
Pass blocking is great, run blocking not so much
1st team D has seemed great, but 2nd team has seemed average against 2nd team O's

mqtirishfan · 08-24-2007, 02:26 AM

My god, the running game was awful tonight. Also, the backup OL couldn't protect A-Rod to save his life. Fortunately, the defense was solid, Barnett in particular. I think Bishop is the clear favorite to be the backup MLB, now.
