Silentio
14 years ago
I live in Nashville so I picked up a couple of tickets to the Packers/Titans preseason game. It was fun to go to a game, but not the greatest game to go to, if you know what I mean. It was the fourth preseason game, after all.

I was on the visiting side and watched the sideline all night. I noticed that every time a receiver ran off the field Driver would walk over and hit them on the helmet and say a few words. Either that or the receivers would run off the field and right to him.

Of course, I don't know what they were talking about. They could have been talking about how good dinner was for all I know, but I hope that he is filling a coaching role with our receiving corps. I read somewhere that Driver is the 6th oldest wide out in the league and I really think that is a benefit to our offense as a whole. Having a guy with as much experience as he has, who as had to work as hard as he has to get to the spot where he is is big for all of the young guys on the team.

Anyway, it was something I thought was interesting, and something you don't normally get to see on TV.

Thanks for that. Driver must be a great encouragement to these guys considering he was a long shot to make his first NFL roster in 1971 or whenever it was he was drafted ;-)

I hope he can keep his level of play up for another couple of years.

DD wil be around a few more years as a player, then if he decides to I will bet you will see him as a coach someday.

The man has always done everything right, younger players should be running to him for advice as much as possible.

Good to know you didn't waste your money watching the game, sometimes watching the sidelines can be much more interesting.

... little off topic but ...

I was a little disspointed we didnt draft crabtree; but given the fact he is holding out for mega bucks as if he were taken at teh 3 spot rather then 10. I can imagine us having difficulties paying our other great guys like jennings and driver etc ...

and ya driver is a class act; excellent ball player

drafting crabtree would be like drafting ryan leaf again, a waste of money
