So much emphasis by the experts on BIG moves and the glitzy draft picks I guess to get people to watch them or read what they write, or, maybe they are just too lazy to do the real work.
Most teams make a couple of FA moves and grab onto a draft pick or two that will contribute right away but what about the rest of the returning players?
Are they going to contribute MORE, LESS, or, about the SAME as the previous year. I would say this is kind of important because it probably makes up about 85% of the team out on the field.
My take is that if it's a veteran you will get about the same production as the past year unless it's an aged veteran who may fall off some. If your looking at the younger guys I would think they would show improvement.
THE 2007 GREEN BAY PACKERS:
DEFENSE:
Safety: Collins MORE - He's better than what he showed LY.
Safety: Underwood MORE - He's better than Manuel hands down
CB: Harris Same - One or two more years-PLEASE
CB:Woodson Same- See above
LB:Hawk MORE - He don't watch mean dogs he IS one
LB: Barnett Same - I'll take more of the same all day
LB: Poppinga MORE - Entering at 100% healthy- oh yeah
DE: Kampman Same - The same ole as in MR. Consistant
DE: Jenkins More - More games in the right position
DL: Pickett Same - Always there doing his job
DL; Harrell More - Soaking up "0" line for Hawk and crew
OFFENSE:
RB: Mo and Jackson Same - Actually more rushing yards combined
FB: Miree Same - could edge to MORE with 1yr under belt
WR: Driver Same - Like 90 catches surprises anymore
WR: Jennings More - Twice the catches with two legs
WR:Martin/Jones/krob More - Because BF will check down more
TE:Lee/Bubba More - They CAN'T drop more passes than last year
Tackle: Tausher More - technique is getting second hand
Tackle: Clifton More - See above
Grd: Spitz More - a full year under the belt does wonders
Grd: Colledge More - see above
Center: Wells More - The leader of the "Band"
QB: Favre More - Higher completion rate for sure
SPECIAL TEAMS:
Kicking More - We have some young guys that are scary!
Receiving ? - Not sure who will win these jobs yet
Field goals More - Good competition there
Punting Same - Hopefully better but wait and see
I don't see anybody getting so old they start to regress yet although that could start creeping in next year. I DO see a lot of guys who should elevate their play and help this team get better.
Our "0" line being SO young last year coming back with experience and Mo not winging it in the backfield like last season should pay off in the running game and I predict our running game will be fine.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT GRADE: A
They give one for the draft so hey, why not, it involves way more players that ultimately determine how well the team plays.
