Improved players
I have to say I think the most improved is OG Josh Walker, not that he's great... but he has improved a lot since last year.

I think one also has to throw DL Mike Pennel and OLB Jayrone Elliott out there as most improved, while there clearly showed the potential last year, they weren't able to put it all together and this preseason the looked like they were able to come a lot closer to pulling it all together but still may not be ready quite yet but they'll get chances to show that they are.

Also I think CB Demetri Goodson could end the season as the most improved... I know some were calling for him to be cut when they signed Jones (I don't understand why but), the CB coach basically said that Goodson started camp behind the rookies and then later passed them all and keeping improving this preseason and the depth chart reflects it as Rollins and Gunter are listed after him. I think he has the potential t keep developing and improve this year and could possibly play as the #3 CB (I'm not saying nickel back because that's Hyde's but he's at Safety).


Breakout players

I'm still not sold on the hype, but I'm hoping that the hype can become true with WR Davante Adams, TE Richard Rodgers and WR Ty Montgomery... it would be awesome if two of them could break out and have a huge year.

OLB Nick Perry... it's time t put up or shut up.... you have a ton of potential and have never been able to put it together. With 3 ILBers and maybe Matthews playing there some... you might finally be pushed into a big time role... can you step up? Or will you step out?

CB Casey Hayward has 9 INTs in two and a quarter seasons. Hayward is going to get burned at times... the questions is can he make enough turnovers to make up for it? And how many INTs could he get playing full time?

SS Sean Richardson... the Packers said they want to find more ways to get Richardson on the field... and one way some of us fans have been calling for is to use him as a coverage ILB... well now the Packers only have 3 ILBers and this might be the perfect time to attempt it... using Richardson as a dime DB / coverage ILB role.



Rookies / 1st year player

I think it's possible we could see FB Aaron Ripkowski used in some ways Kuhn normally isn't and have him have a mini breakout. Ripkowski is surprisingly athletic, and it would most likely catch teams off guard to have screens or pass backs to a FB. Of course if Ripkowski doesn't show better at being a true FB, other teams would quickly catch on... but if he's able to get all the normal FB stuff down, I think their is a of extra stuff they might be able t do with how athletic he is.

Again give credit to OG Josh Walker for seeming to step it up very well.

LB Jake Ryan, I feel like he could possibility pass Palmer before the season is over as starting ILB (when Matthews isn't playing it).

And of course Randall, Rollins and Gunter... they'll need to be able to step up... I think we'll see both them making plays some but also at times making rookie mistakes and badly getting burned.

MOST IMPROVED:
-Myles White: Actually good enough to make the team this year. For a little bit at least.

-Nate Palmer: Could get some work inside when the cast comes off. Finally found a position.

-Pennell: Agreed, he's taken a step up. Needs to maintain his anchor if he wants to be an NT, but it looks like he's been getting it done at DE too.

Tolzien: Dude has become the real deal. If (Lord forbid) Aaron had to miss time, I'd trust Scott in there to manage the game in his absence. Haven't felt this comfortable with the backup QB position in awhile, and I liked Flynn.


BREAK OUTS:

-Richard Rodgers: It normally takes a year for a TE to get up to speed in this offense. Everyone bitches that this dude is "ordinary," because of his 40 time. He's gonna show people he can still produce.

-Davante Adams: It normally takes a year for a WR to get up to speed in this offense. Everyone bitches that this dude is "ordinary," because of his 40 time. He's gonna show people he can still produce. Dude can ball.

Clinton-Dix: Dude has what it takes. He's got a year of experience under his belt, and it's gonna show.


BEST ROOKIES:

-Montgomery: Dude is the real deal. He will take a year to develop, but he may contribute on ST this year.

Randall/Rollins: I like both these dudes. They're gonna be players. I think Randall will contribute more right away.

-Gunter: Another underrated player due to 40 time. But he can get it done.

-Hundley: He's looked awesome so far. In 3 years he'll be ready and chomping at the bit.

dfosterf (20h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
