WILLIAMS CONTINUES TO SHINE

Until regular season games are played without contact and in shorts, everything that happens in OTAs and minicamps should be taken with a very big grain of salt. Thats why we didnt think it was necessary (or even useful) to provide a play-by-play account of what occurred on the practice field last week. Instead, we asked a former scout to give us a list of the 10 most impressive players. For what its worth, here it is:

"The oranges are dry; the apples are mealy; and the papayas... I don't know what's going on with the papayas!"

1) CB Tramon Williams - The kid can run with any receiver.
2) WR Greg Jennings - His new extension overshadowed just how good he looked on the practice field. Nobody - and I mean nobody - could cover him.

ummm ???

We should totally resign him. Or trade for him if he's still on the Jets roster. For as far as I know, Jamal Reynolds is still a FA as well.

Anyway, some good notes in there. Even more positive thoughts about Thompson. Really happy about that. I hope that he'll be the starter when the season starts. If he'll excell, we'll be in a real luxury position with Matthews. We might even be able to groom him before throwing him out there.

It seems to me that it would be hard to judge a lineman (offensive OR defensive) without them wearing pads. Perhaps that has something to do with it, who knows.........

1) CB Tramon Williams
6) WR Jordy Nelson
7) LB Brandon Chillar

Great to hear these guys are playing well. All 3 I'm really high on for 09.

Shockers:
10) P Jeremy Kapinos
8 ) LB Jeremy Thompson
4) TE Jermichael Finley

I thought Kapinos would for sure be out(not that he still cant be). Thompson, I guess I see it. Possible gem? Finley. Well I just cant be impressed by him until he performs consistently in pads.

3) QB Aaron Rodgers
2) WR Greg Jennings

No surprises here. :icon_smile:

"There will be another intriguing position battle at tight end, where up-and-coming youngster Jermichael Finley could unseat Donald Lee as the starter. Philbin said Finley is much improved from his rookie season in 2008."

I find this extremely interesting. An excerpt from yesterdays Green Bay Press Gazette . This is especially interesting in light of our recent Camp Battles thread. I have been high on Finley since he played for Texas, and was pscyched when we drafted him, knowing full well that he was a baby at this time last year. I'm hoping his progression and maturing continues to go faster than anticipated. Coming out of college, he was already an athletic phenomenon amongst a league full of them, he is a straight-up baller, and has the instincts and the natural flexibility to make his body move in ways that a man of his size just shouldn't be able to do. If this kid can pull it all together, grow up, and become a team player, he's going to do awesome things in this league.

I'm really excited for Finley, i think one thing you need to look at last year, is that he was basically a collage senior playing in the NFL. Taking that into consideration, the "punk" reputation he seemed to aquire could be vastly overblown.

Zero2Cool (12-Feb) : Keisean Nixon is trying to get Maxx Crosby and Davante Adams lol

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Tua’s old DC won a Super Bowl Year 1 with Tua’s former backup

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
