They did an awesome job at the end. They played their young offensive line early and they figured out how to be NFL players. I expect (Jason) Spitz and those others to take the next step. Because of that, Brett (Favre) will be better because he'll have time. He won't feel like he has to make plays." . . . "They've got two major questions. Will they be able to have a running game? He (Mike McCarthy) wants to run the ball. I just don't know who's going to be doing it. And can Brett continue to play good without turning the ball over? He sounds frustrated with the receivers." . . . "James Jones isn't the fastest guy in the world but he's a good football player. He'll really help them. He's a big kid that catches everything." . . . "I've never been a real Donald Lee fan. Bubba (Franks) just can't run anymore." . . . "Their O-line will be better. They're good, not great. They're solid." . . . "I think Brandon Jackson is the guy. Whether he does it this year, I don't know. I do think he can be a good player. (Vernand) Morency is more of a backup guy that can carry 10 times a game. He's more of a straight-line guy but he's pretty fast and he's tough." . . . "The line is good enough. I don't know if people appreciate how good those lines were a few years ago in Green Bay." . . . "You get a competitor like Favre into a tough situation, he's going to force the ball a lot. I don't think he can carry a team on his back like he used to. But I still think he's as good as most." . . . "Greg Jennings kind of hit a wall last year. But now he'll complement (Donald) Driver really well." . . . "I know they have a really, really good running backs coach (Edgar Bennett). I know he'll always have those guys prepared. Look at the job he did two years ago when they all got hurt. He'll get that young kid (Jackson) playing." . . . "I like that defense a lot. It's very underrated. They put a lot of pressure on teams and will get even better this year." . . . "The corners are older so hopefully for the Packers they'll play well this season. They might not." . . . "The defensive line is pretty good. (Aaron) Kampman and (Cullen) Jenkins are both really, really good. Johnny Jolly played well. Colin Cole is good. (Justin) Harrell didn't do much for me in preseason." . . . "The top two are really good but the 'Sam' (Poppinga) is just kind of OK. Not bad, but not a great player. But no one's got three great ones." . . . "(Charles) Woodson is still playing pretty darn good. That's kind of surprising to me. Al's Al (Harris). He'll make a few plays and he'll give up a couple, too. Nick Collins is going to be really good and the Bigby kid, he's impressive. I remember when he was with the Jets. He was all over the place. He won't be great but you can find worse." . . . "I like Kampman more than 'KGB.' I think 'KGB' is on the way down." . . . "Their special teams will be decent. Not great." . . . "I don't have a problem keeping a rookie kicker. A lot of times teams go with people they're familiar with instead of looking at who's being the most productive. It takes a lot of guts on the Packers' part to pull that off...."</p></blockquote><p></p>
