Want a couple of more things...

1) As much as I dislike Colledge the guard, he looked pretty good overall at right tackle.. he lost inside contain on his man late in the game and allowed a sack on one play and pressure on the next.. but overall pass protection we decent. On the Wynn run.. watch the footwork he displayed at the LOS and than provided the key block 10 yards down the field.. he is a vertical player... plays tall.. he is a fit at tackle.. with a couple years under his belt of experience.. I think he is ready to man one of the two tackle spots.. he will have his moments of "&#$*" ups.. but I was impressed with him at the right tackle spot.. the side he hasn't played on in over 3 years..

2) I thought the guards combo yesterday until Wells went out, played pretty good.. Spitz brings that athleticism to the left side but doesn't give up much raw brute strength either.. Sitton shows off some "mean" to him.. I think we have a player there.. will he be ready next season? Spitz had a monster block on Grants first 20 yarder..

3) I thought the emotion showed by Driver after his first big play.. was something this team was missing this season.. he was jacked up in a meaningless game.. hopefully others seen that and we can build upon that for next season.

4) Grant and Wynn both ran freaking hard yesterday.. I still think we need a quick scat type back on the roster.. but will we be able to keep 4 backs?

5) Jolly has sliding up and down the line today.. he didn't play much on the Lions side of the LOS, but the kid was active yesterday.. will he be available next season?

6) Cole is a effort guy..

7) Poppinga decided to show up yesterday.. another very active player on the defense.. Woodson and Harris played overall very well.. so did Williams.. he blanketed 81 pretty damn well in the early going.

8.) #88... Finley showed off his talents today.. kid has a very high ceiling of potential.. can he mature fast enough to take advantage of them.. he is young at 21.. think of the options he gives an offense.

....

I would love to talk about Hawks effort.. but that is a different thread..

I'd like to put #3 at #1, simply because Donald Driver has become my favorite player on the Packers. Why? Because with every single play, he puts out 100%

Remember the Championship Game last year? Donald Driver seemed like the ONLY person out there giving 100%.

Every game, he gives 100%. I love the guy. I cannot say enough good about Donald Driver.

As for the other points, yes, all good points. Proud of Aaron, Woody, and Collins (who for the record, I was wrong about and I'm very much glad I was wrong) too, don't get me wrong. But if there's one guy who's underappreciated, it's Donald Driver. He produces game after game and gives everything he has on the field on every single down.

Grant I think hasn't lived up to his contract and Wynn I want to see on the field more. I'm hoping with Grant, it was just an off year, sophomore slump, and he'll be outstanding in '09.
