[QUOTE="tromadz, post: 20611, member: 306"] from packers.com: Notebook: Giddy Cornerback Pushes For Starting Position by Jeff Fedotin, Packers.com posted 09/06/2005 Joey Thomas Feeling Fine Cornerback Joey Thomas could not contain his exuberance in the locker room following Monday's practice. "I'm feeling great," he said. "I'm all smiles from ear to ear." His recovery from previous injuries had left him glowing. Following his impressive play during organized team activities, he entered training camp as the starting left cornerback. Then calf and hip injuries sidelined him for three weeks of training camp, and Ahmad Carroll received the snaps as starter. "I'm just getting back to where I was, coming into training camp," Thomas said. "As my health increases, the more comfortable I get, the more confident I get." The Packers likely will not name their starting left cornerback until Sunday. If Carroll lands the starting position, will Thomas remain content? "No. I mean who would be happy if they're not the starter? I'm a competitor, and I expect the best out of myself," he said. "If you're happy and content with not being the starter then I think you're doing the wrong thing and you're in the wrong game." Regardless, he ended the preseason on a high note against the Tennessee Titans, recording three tackles and one pass defended. He nailed fullback Troy Fleming in the flat, denying him a first down on a third-down pass from quarterback Steve McNair and then later forced incompletions on deep balls to Fleming and wide receiver Drew Bennett. That performance bodes well for Thomas. "It was solid. It was a step in the right direction," he said. "The best is yet to come." -- It looks like Thomas will be starting. If he doesn't start Sunday, then I expect him to start in week 2. Yay. If we want any chance of winning we need carroll off the field as much as possible. [/QUOTE]
