Selective reading for me was "deep-threat" and "Packers practice" and instantly I was thinking, who we trade for?

Adams is averaging 10.2 yards per catch... Jones is averaging 20.7 yards per catch.

I think Rodgers was saying Adams could be like a faster Jones... but I'm not sure if Adams is there yet.

I hink he was suggesting he's a guy who can excel on the perimeter and make big plays via attacking the ball (we know he's got ups!). Here's hoping his ankle is ready to go!

The Packers are good enough to let Adams rest this week and the bye week.

He came back too early last time.

If the defense is coming up and jumping routes to the point of picking them off, that's time to pump fake it and throw it over their heads. It's not time to give up until you get a guy who runs a 4.3.

Looks like Davante ran a 4.5 too .

Jordy's was I think a 4.51, whereas Davante's is a 4.56. Big freakin deal. That difference is negligible, imo.

What GB is doing is putting stuff on film and seeing how other DCs react. One successful deep play to Monty and Janis [if they didn't get stupid] and they dont try it again? really? I expect a shift of gears after the bye,we'll see more deep stuff and MM and Co. will again see how other DCs react. Then a strategy will be laid out for the stretch run and we'll see even more unscouted looks. This is why we never lose in December sans injury. Every guy GB has can test a D deep, even ole' lead foot Jones and 270lb Rodgers! The game plans thus far are a strategy, not evidence of a limitation to throw deep.

Dont think Ted Thompson goes for TE Davis. He's due 7M straight cash or about 437K/game. If we traded for him this week he'd suck up almost $5M in cap and be a UFA for 2016. Now if he'd agree to a 2 year 2M extension, then it's possible; but even then at 31 and maybe breaking down doubt Ted Thompson goes for it.

We got 12M in cap space after Perillo transaction; we got 39 guys under contract in 2016 for 123.6M, so if the cap jumps to 160M like some predict, we'll have 50M of cap space in 2016 and only one expensive must-sign guy [Daniels].
