Mike McCarthy: Jarrett Boykin has taken the next step

The Packers felt comfortable letting James Jones go in free agency because they thought Jarrett Boykin was ready to move up the depth chart after a strong showing while filling in for the injured Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson at different points in 2013. Nothing that they've seen this spring or summer has changed that...

Good news to hear about Boykin, even though it is what I would expect McCarthy to say at this time of year regardless.

I still feel that GB is going to feel effects from not having either Jennings or Jones this year. Regardless of how good Boykins now is, there's still a drop off at number 4. And in this offense, that is more significant than with other teams. Especially since our "best" option at TE is now R Rodgers.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

This along with two members of our secondary saying JB is the hardest WR to cover in practice and with how good he was last year makes me feel like he's legit. I don't know if he'll reach the production he had last year though because I think Jordy, Lacy, and Cobb are going to all take a ton of the action but he should be able to at least get close.

I guess you haven't been watching what has been going on.

Packers goal is to run 75 plays a game, plenty of balls to go around.

I'm sure you will be calling it stat-whoring, I'm gonna call it good, solid game planning.

Keep the opposing teams defense on the field!!!!!

You've been screaming about TOP for years now, what the hell do you want??

Zero2Cool (32m) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?

Mucky Tundra (39m) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT

Mucky Tundra (40m) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.

Zero2Cool (1h) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

beast (1h) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (2h) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (2h) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?

Zero2Cool (2h) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.

Martha Careful (2h) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster

Mucky Tundra (2h) : CB and OG in FA, narrows down the top of the draft board a little
