I guess it takes two well placed hits to turn a position of strength for the Green Bay Packers into a possibly dire circumstance. It is possible that the Green Bay Packers will be without the services of both WRs James Jones and Randall Cobb for some time.   Cobb’s injury looks to be the most serious but a tweet circulating around Twitter indicated that neither Cobb or Jones’s injuries were as serious as some expected.

Boykin had some miscommunications but he also showed he has some skills on that big catch and run. Hopefully he can build off that play and make an impact with the extra reps hell probably begetting the next couple weeks

I doubt he'll ever be great, but he can be decent. He dropped some balls, but so did Nelson and Finley, so not much definitive can be said about that. I expect him to improve substantially over the next few weeks. I liked him in college.

As far as showing he can play if you are referring to the catch and run, although it was very nice, I'm sure you could find a similar play for just about every wide receiver who has played in the NFL. I wouldn't say he has shown he can play just yet.

As far as the agreement it does looks like many of the initial miscues were communication errors and simple inexperience. I too would expect to see improvement with increased playing time.

I also agree that he may be a decent player. I just hope Jones comes back quickly (Cobb too for that matter) because I'd much rather have that decent WR as my #3 guy than my #2 guy.

OK, I guess that counts as two agreements.
