Over the past three practices, including one of his best as a pro Thursday morning, Tolzien has been throwing tight, accurate spirals. Awkward at best when forced into action two years ago, Tolzien's feet and arm are starting to work together and the results have been pretty.

Sounds like he's starting to come along. The main issue has been being consistent with his accuracy, from what I can tell.

The coming of age this summer hit its apex during a 2-minute drill Monday when Tolzien hooked up with receiver Myles White on a long touchdown that would have won the game if it were being played in an NFL stadium.

Tolzien not only took charge in the huddle, but he got the defense to jump offside with a hard count and adeptly sidestepped the rush before laying the ball up perfectly for about a 30-yard touchdown. He did just about everything Rodgers would do in a similar situation.



Could be bad news for Blanchard, although it sounds like Mike likes Blanchard, so I assume he'll still make the PS.

In a no-huddle drill, Tolzien connected on a long corner route to Ty Montgomery, then hit White with a dart on an out in the end zone. Later, he hit receiver Larry Pinkard right in the chest on a curl route in traffic. Then he hit White again on a back-shoulder route.

He finished a blitz drill by avoiding the rush and drilling rookie tight end Kennard Backman in the end zone.

Really encouraging news. It's just practice yadda yadda, but I've read a number of times that Tolzien has been a very encouraging development. We appear to have upgraded from Seneca Wallace.

As for the other 2, we've discussed in other threads. Blanchard is supposedly ready, Hundley isn't but has the higher ceiling. Assuming you keep 3, you stash the one you feel will most likely won't get picked up on your PS.

A player can be eligible if he does not have an accrued season in the NFL, although the NFL has now approved a maximum of two spots on the PS for players with no more than two accrued seasons. To have an accrued season, you have to be active for at least six regular-season games. A player can also go to the practice squad with an accrued season provided they were on the 45-man active roster for less than nine-regular season games.

In addition, a player is allowed on the practice squad for two years. If a player is on the practice squad for six weeks, up fron three weeks per the previous agreement, in a season, it is considered a year of PS sevice. Players are only allowed to be on a practice squad for a third year if their team keeps 53 players on the active-inactive list at all times.

Being from the Bay Area, I've watched a lot of Tolzien when he backed up Colin Kaepernick in San Francisco. The guy has a strong arm and he can command a huddle. He didn't do well in our mop-up duty, but that was primarily in the redzone and remember he was signed in Week 1 so he had no experience with the system.

There's no doubt in my mind should anything happen to Aaron, we'll be fine with Scott.
