you have to get half way through the article before they discuss Finley vs Williams. 

Jer Mike has been running his mouth off a bit. The rest of the team is probably use to it by now.

Time and time again Finley has dismissed the concern about there not being enough footballs to satisfy all of Rodgers' receivers this season. But it would be hard for him not to notice the emergence of fellow tight end D.J. Williams, who until injuring an ankle last week was having one of the best camps of anyone on the team.

While Finley was hurt, Williams showed he could add something a little different. He can line up anywhere on the field, including the backfield, where he served as a lead blocker at times last season. Pass-catching is his forte and he's quick enough to line up wide or in the slot.

Many have assumed Williams would be a factor in the offense. Finley, who is very possessive when it comes to the tight end position, warned that the regular season - not training camp - would determine how the snaps are split up.

"Not taking nothing away from D.J., but camp is camp," he said. "San Francisco has a great defense. It ain't going to be nothing like camp, I guarantee you.



other parts of the article.

"You produce and get the timing and chemistry down, you get the ball," tight end Jermichael Finley said. "Hands down. It's not all the weapons we have or how many guys we have, it's about who's producing at the time.

"At the end of the day, it's on me."




Finley said the only way he can become a favored receiver the way Nelson was last year or Greg Jennings was the year before that is to produce. Never lacking in confidence, Finley's goal isn't to share the ball.

It's to have Aaron Rodgers throw it to him over and over and over again.

Yeah, Finley just isn't "Packer People", huh Wayne?

Competition is a good thing. I just wish Quarless was in the mix as well.

Ha. I was going to say that on your behalf.

Having Quarless would have been helpful.

"The only blemish on Finley's record was 13 drops, an extraordinarily high total for someone who had barely dropped a half dozen the three previous years."

I put that there for those who think Jermichael Finley's 2011 season was the normal in the drops department. Oh no, facts hurt!

Finley is the only player I really hear on our team speak with entitlement. Confidence sometimes mixes with arrogance. It's okay, but kinda annoying. In any case, our best tight end (in my opinion) will be on IR to start the season. When he comes back, we have the complete offense back. Benson will be the game changer against teams like SF.

Apparently D.J. Williams is really coming along. The Packers have Andrew Quarless, who if he can recover could be good. And since Jermichael Finley is locked up this season and next, I wonder if we see Finley traded this coming draft day to free up something like ~$7 million. 🙂

Speaking with a sense of entitlement and being possessive about your position is fine... As long as you're getting it done on the field. Way too many dropsies from Finley in 2011.

Tom Crabtree is a solid Tight End as well...
Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another. -Vince Lombardi

Finley drives me nuts. The guy needs to shut up and produce. Let his play do the talking.

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
