Has Cobb become our #1 weapon? Jennings and Driver have felt quite average this season so far.

Still really uncomfortable with the O-line. Praying Sherrod comes back to 100% going into a playoff push.

Really liking the Benson pickup. I love having a pounding back with pretty decent hands as well.

We do have one of the best punters in the league.

CMIII still needs help on the pass rush. Fuck it is painful to see the QB have forever to throw a 20+ yard pass on our DBs on 3rd down all the time.

Good point about the punter. How quickly we forget, same with kicker.

It is really hard to get a clear view since the scab refs messed up so often. The defenses had the advantage.

I like what I have seen from Ceddy,Cobb and Shields.
AR, the OL have struggled.
There have been costly drops from both the receiving corps and the DBs.
As was mentioned the first Q of the schedule was a pretty tough one.

I can't decide how I feel about the defense yet. They are slightly improved over last year, I think. Much of the issues still remain from last year, however. They give up way too many yards in long yardage situations, they aren't stopping teams on 3rd down enough. Someone besides Clay Matthews needs to step up in the pass rush. I do think our tackling has improved, however. I think we need to play more man, and less zone.

I'm really pleased with Sam Shields play this season.

He always wants to showcase his speed. BUT, he's not afraid of contact. He's proving that now.

Sky's still the limit for him, but he's beginning to live up to that potential.

He's still relatively new to the position.

I'm losing trust in Dom Capers. That's probably the most important takeaway from the first quarter.

I was never concerned about the offensive struggles. They always figure it out and Cobb's increasing role has me excited. The flexibility he provides is unprecedented in McCarthy's tenure as head coach. This could be a fun year for the Packer offense. It may not put up the monster numbers it did a year ago, but it's going to rely less on big plays. That's a good thing, in my assessment. You can thank Cobb, Cedric Benson, and Mike McCarthy's play calling for that.

-Benson looks like a very solid pickup
-Pass rush is slightly better
-we still have too many players pulling up when blitzing
-Dom needs to stop these soft zones and playing our CBs 10 yards off the line
-Graham Harrell is awful
-McMillian has sick dreads, and is showing some rookie promise
-where did our short passing game go?
-Rodgers needs to get rid of the ball! remember that clock we were using in traing camp?
-Cobb's new role is awsome! and is playing great.
-way to many wide open recievers, against SF and NO specificly
-Hawk has been taking crazy pills
