I've been reading a few comments of praise of Kevin King and Josh Jones. I wonder what the future is for our former 1st and 2nd round CB's from what was it, 2014 draft?

Green Bay Packers rookie Josh Jones has made an impact already. Good morning, Green Bay Packers fans, and welcome to the Titletown Report. Rookie Josh Jones has made an impact, while Quinten Rollins has also made a good start. Improvements to the secondary will go a long way to making good one Mike Daniels' wish

I don't think Jones is competing for the same position, in my mind he's going to get his reps at Safety and inside linebacker (or whatever we call the new hybrid safety/ILB spot).

How has Jones looked in pads?

Pass break-ups, a couple would be sacks, an interception, and a tackle of a loss... so yea he's coming along.

Jones is the player I have been most excited to see. I was hoping that Aaron Rouse would have been able to play the SS/ILB hybid spot and he never panned out. Hopefully Jones has better luck and can stay healthy.

Having a guy who can hit and still run with todays WR's and TE's is a huge asset.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Albert Einstein

Coach McCarthy and Coach Capers understand this and therefor are placing early emphasis on CB's Davon House and Kevin King . They know that repeating last seasons CB mistakes will not result in a different result . I applaud their willingness to not remain stuck with last seasons 31st ranked Secondary ! [thumbup]

Well...this IS good news. Maybe a young guy that really wants to make the team can light a fire under the butts of the guys that didn't seem to "show up" last year.
Fear of losing your job can have that affect.

I don't as yet know how Josh Jones will be used in the GB Defense , but so far all reports give him high praise . A Hybrid LB / Safety that aggressively covers the short field sounds great to me . Stopping the inside run or covering against TE's / RB's in the short passing plays ! Additionally , in the Blitz , he could be a very scary defender ! [bdance]

He will sack quarterbacks this year. That's a guarantee. If he can force a fumble while doing so, all the better!

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
