"He has the skill set to control verticals," cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt said of Goodson. "He has very quick feet. … He has quick burst. He's shown some long speed. Those (traits) fit well for outside guys."

Not sure Goodson's making the transition. Some of mentioned him as Jarrett Bush 2.0. Could come down to him v Gunter for that final DB spot.
Tolzien, I feel pretty good about him, but I'd like to see what he can do under live fire. I expect him to step up, but I haven't personally seen it yet, as I haven't been able to get to TC.
Head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt have raved about the progress the fifth-year quarterback has made in refining throwing motion and footwork over the past year.
The Packers felt so strongly about his improvement that they let Matt Flynn walk in free agency and re-signed Tolzien to a one-year, $1.35 million contract. Judging by the first 10 practices, it's looked like the right move.
This new playcalling situation could make a huge difference in this offense (for good or bad) or it could make no difference at all. We'll probably have to wait until the season to find out, though. Preseason will help them work the logistical kinks out of the system, but they're not gonna be actually strategizing until the real games.
Play-calling isn't foreign to Clements. Before joining the Packers' staff, Clements previously called plays while serving as the Buffalo Bills' offensive coordinator in 2005. He's also been wearing a headset during practices in camp, relaying calls to the quarterback.
Looks like we'll get some film on Janis, at least on offense. I heard he lost his position on ST to Randall, although Randall does have a hammy now.
Nelson and Randall Cobb likely won't see much action against New England, so Janis should have ample opportunities to show what he can do in Thursday's opener with the Packers banged up at receiver.
Be nice to see my boy Palmer too. I'd take him one handed over Hawk.
Palmer has been practicing with a club on his left hand with no set date on when he'll be able to play without it. He injured it during the first week of camp. When Clay Matthews moves to outside linebacker, it's mostly been Palmer and rookie Jake Ryan stepping in next to Sam Barrington.
