Packer's WR

[iallen2000]

In ligth of all the attention that the Packers have received in the last month over the Brett Favre issue, I feel it is warranted to talk about them post Favre.

It was shocking to see the standing ovation at Lambeau Field when the Green Bay offense took the field for the 1st time in 2008. Aaron Rodgers was a little edgy at times, but overall held his composure. What I am most intrigued by is the play of the WR's along with Rodgers.

After last night, you can clearly see that they have spent a lot of time in the film room, and probably weight room. These receivers were in the right places at the right time most of the time, but the tenacity they possessed after the catch was something to appreciate, and crave for from an ex-offensive linemen's perspective.

After a glimpse of the Packers' offense last night, they should be considered a team to be reckoned with, especially the Quarterback/Wide Receiver relationship. James Jones' helmet gets detached from his body, Donald Driver gives a bull dosing shoulder to the safety and does not lose his feet.

Tenacity! They are a force being created!

I agree! It's time for a new era in Green Bay and not only were majority of the fans ready for it exemplified by the standing ovation but also the Packers team in the extra effort that key players exhibited such as James Jones and Donald Driver. The phenomenial extra effort by Donald Driver knocking the Bengals DB down to the ground with a physical forearm blow and then on the very next play James Jones (getting hit by two DBs and losing his helmet) taking it to the house thereby making Aaron Rodgers night a SUPER HIGHLIGHT REEL FOR ALL TIME!

This is the night that Aaron Rodgers DESERVED!! He has waited 4 years for this opportunity and now this is his team. The Packers fans gave their APPROVAL!! Talk about a change that's needed - the Packers management and Headcoach Mike McCarthy were delighted with this first preseason game. Regardless of what happens in the rest of the preseason games and EVEN the regular season, the Packers HAVE MOVED ON AND STARTED A NEW TRADITION -- The Aaron Rodgers Era Begins NOW!!
