Rodgers continued to play well</strong>. Most of his throws were on target. He didn’t look quite as impressive as he did against Pittsburgh though. Ingle Martin and Paul Thompson both suffered with accuracy problems.</p><p></p><p>Running Backs:</p><p></p><p><strong>Brandon Jackson ran pretty well (a little better than against Pittsburgh). Two things I did like was that he didn’t drop a single pass in both practices and he seems to have improved his blocking a little (he has struggled most of camp with his blocking).</strong> Noah Herron seemed pretty good but I still don’t think he will be anything more than a #3 RB. Corey White seemed to pretty much play RB even though he is listed as a FB. He didn’t look bad but he was also nothing special. He is a great guy though because he seemed to sign something for everyone who wanted an autograph. Vernand Morency and DeShawn Wynn were hurt and didn’t play.</p><p></p><p>Full Backs:</p><p></p><p>I am not sure if Miree practiced or not. <strong>Korey Hall was the starter for the most part. He didn’t do much but I can see a future for him at FB. He seems to catch the ball well and his blocking appears to be improving</strong>. Ryan Powdrell did nothing noticeable at all.</p><p></p><p>Wide Receiver:</p><p></p><p><strong>Donald Driver played well like usual</strong>. He did drop at least one pass though. He seemed to get open quite a bit but it seemed like Brett was trying hard to get some of the other receivers involved. This is a good thing because Brett might not just throw to Driver on every play. <strong>Greg Jennings pretty much did his job. He really made no mistakes but he also didn’t make any big plays. James Jones stepped up once again. I am regretting ever insulting this pick. Jones is going to be something special.</strong> I would be shocked if he doesn’t become a pro bowler several times during his career. I don’t think Jones can possibly drop a pass. Another plus, it seems like he is another charismatic type receiver like Donald Driver. (Autograph seekers should also be happy because he signs quite a few autographs.) <strong>Carlyle Holliday really helped his chances of making the team. He made several deep ball catches and I don’t think he dropped any passes. If Holliday keeps this up he probably will get the #4 receiver spot</strong>. Ruvell Martin made some nice catches but none of them really stood out. Robert Ferguson really didn’t help himself. I would be shocked if he made the team. At this point I think the only way he would make the team is if several of our receivers would get hurt. <strong>David Clowney really surprised me. So far in camp he really hasn’t done much. On Monday and Tuesday I think he played very well. I say flashes of something special. Clowney looks like a deep ball threat. He caught several deep balls and showed he could take any reception to the end zone. At this point he is still really raw though. I am not sure he will make the team but if he doesn’t I hope we can sneak him on the practice squad. He showed flashes of being a great deep ball threat. Hopefully he can continue to improve</strong>. Shaun Bodiford was average. He caught all his passes but really didn’t show much as a receiver. He did seem better as a returner than he was against Pittsburgh though. Chris Francies made some nice catches but he didn’t show me enough to make me think he might make the team. Calvin Russell was just plain terrible. He dropped several passes. Don’t be surprised if he is in the first cut downs. Carlton Brewster really showed nothing as well. Should be part of the first cut downs.</p><p></p><p>Tight Ends:</p><p></p><p>Donald Lee was hurt and only got a few reps. Really showed nothing good or bad. <strong>Bubba Franks actually looked pretty good. He made several good catches and appeared to do well blocking. Don’t get excited though. I don’t think he will rebound from last season. Zac Alcorn did a good job catching the ball but it seemed like he had trouble getting open. He is also not that great of blocker</strong>. Clark Harris has a slim chance of making the team. He had several drops and seemed to have trouble blocking. At this point I don’t think he has a chance to make the team.</p><p></p><p>Offensive Line:</p><p></p><p><strong>The starting offensive line appeared to hold their own quite well.

He did his job and made no mistakes. Cullen Jenkins continued to shine. At this point I would be shocked if this is not his breakout season. KGB seemed to do quite well pass rushing.

He still struggles defending the run though. <strong>Michael Montgomery, DeVon Hicks, and Larry Birdine really didn’t make any mistakes but also didn’t do much as well</strong>. Jason Hunter also pretty much only got into a fight and that was it.</p><p></p><p>Defensive Tackle:</p><p></p><p><strong>If practice is any indication, pretty much every defensive tackle on the team will get time to play with the starters</strong>.

Colin Cole got a surprising amount of playing time with the starters. Nothing bad or great that I could see. <strong>Justin Harrell seems like he could be something special. Harrell seemed to easily be able to push his offensive lineman back towards the QB. This should really help the run game.
