It will be intriguing to watch the battle between Davanta Adams (2nd round pick) and Jarrett Boykin (undrafted).

But in Sunday's 31-24 comeback win over the New York Jets, rookie receiver Davante Adams made his first appreciable contribution to the Packers' offense. The second-round pick from Fresno State caught five passes for 50 yards, including 24 on a third-down slant during the Packers' 97-yard touchdown drive late in the second quarter.

"It's plays like that that give you a lot of confidence as a young player, and I'm really proud of him," Rodgers said. "He stepped up. He played really well. I think he'll start to settle in, and you'll see even more big plays from him."

"He's earned those opportunities; he's been coming on,” coach Mike McCarthy said. "You're giving him a shot, see if he can give us a spark, and he made some plays. That's the beauty of competition. You want all these guys competing each and every day. Boykin, I love the young man. He's going to play a lot of football for us. When someone makes plays you keep him in there."

Adams has some good moves. I think he might have a big year. That long catch he had was a huge play in the game. Looked to me like he should have had a TD too that he was possibly robbed of.

Route running, reading the defense, where to go when he was the "hot" receiver on a blitz and things like that. He may still need work in some of these areas but he is gaining in confidence at a quicker rate than many rookies.

ProFootballFocus.com has the drop rates for our WR. Nelson two games three drops. If that was Finley, people would be demanding he be cut.

It certainly is as much about Boykin as Adams. Boykin has done nothing - seemingly completely unable to get open. Is that because Rodgers hasn't looked at him - way down the checkdown list? Is it because he is the sacrificial lamb who is lined up where he gets the best cover guy - it certainly was that way against Seattle? Or is he just lacking the ability to get open? Then Adams comes along - presumably the same situations as Boykin, and he has a degree of success. Is there any other conclusion we can come to except that Adams is a better receiver? I sure wish they would get Janis going that way too. Our TEs have been disappointing so far in the regular season. I'd like to see some four and even five wideout sets.

My hope is that by the end of the year, and being in position to make a playoff push, we have Janis and Adams integrated into the offense and playing well, and also have either Bostick or Rodgers at TE commanding things in the middle of the field to take coverage away from the outside and perhaps make some plays of their own.

Long sentence there.

Absolutely. They are easing Bostick back in though. I only saw him with the kickoff return unit. I wonder if we will see him in offensive snaps next week?
