It really looked like you could've driven a Mack truck through that hole that Chery ran through on the punt return TD. But at the same time, there is something to be said for confidence. I bet he feels more confident than any of our other return men right now. And he does have speed. If he fields the ball cleanly against KC and shows any kind of burst, I bet he makes the roster ahead of Brett Swain.

As they say: "One can not teach natural speed."

With that in mind it will just be perfect practice and reps that this kid needs.

Trust me on this. As a Raider Fan I know. Just look back at DHB last year. This year he is going to show some real growth at softening his hands, and he already has so far at camp.

Honestly, i'de rather see someone like Jordy or Tramon back there for KR/PR duties over any of these young guys. They all look like project guys.

I prefer project guys over the starting cornerback any day of the week. I just don't want to see them get injured on special teams.

I can understand your thought process earthquake.

However, I love his guts and attitude about laying his gonads out there on the line, making an instant decision and turning on the after burners.

I would rather have that in a returner, than a guy with more moves than a Go Go Dancer, but does not make a commitment.

Yeah absolutely, i LOVE seeing that return, what i'm saying is if we're talking a real game situation, i dont know that i would trust any of these younger guys out there, unfortunately.

I think it's great that Chery had a run back in the game last week, and I think it's great that the coaches are giving him a chance to compete as a result, but I don't think there's a great chance that the coaches are going to rely on him as a returner this season and I think it would be unwise to do so. Pulling for him though, it would be great to have a halfway decent return game.

If Chery does a good job against KC, and Blackmon's injury keeps him out of the lineup, they might as well put Chery in there for the season opener and see what happens. Returner is a job where young players often make a big impact. I think Jordy Nelson and Brandon Jackson can do a decent job returning kickoffs, but aside from Blackmon, there are no real punt returners on the roster, and they don't want to throw one of their starting CBs back there.

Chery has more a chance to get a TD than Nelson or Jackson. Nelson or Jackson may get 50 yard returns, but they get tackled from behind. Chery is less likely to get tackled from behind.

beast (1h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (1h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (2h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (2h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (2h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (3h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (3h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (4h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (6h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (14h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (20h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (21h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (22h) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
