[QUOTE="porky88, post: 89957, member: 489"] Here are my thoughts It looked like a new team playing out there tonight. Atlanta started fast and scored. Outside of that it was all Green Bay. I think we found our 5 starters for our offensive line. The 1st team looked much better. They can still get better but overall this was a huge improvement from last week. You actually saw blocks made on the replays and you actually were able too see Favre stand back and make throws. Favre played great. He read blitzes. He was quick to get rid of the ball. He didn't throw into double coverage. Physically no doubt he still can play. Mentally I questioned. His decision making was bad last year. So far Favre has been nothing but solid throughout this pre season in his reads and his accuracy. If he keeps it up then Marino won’t be the all time TD leader at the end of December. Hopefully he can. Greg Jennings welcome to the NFL. Great play by the safety. After that he came on and is proven too be a huge upgrade in the slot compared to Antonio Chatman. He'll be starting by mid season unless Fergy comes along. Fergy looked the part tonight. made a couple of nice catches. Hopefully Jennings is pushing him. It'll only make them better. Gardner is our #4 WR. We can take that much from this game. I don’t think he played with the 1st team. The top 3 I think are set in stone. 2 way race for #2 now in my opinion. Driver is a legit #1. Enough of GB doesn't have a receiver. Yes, Walker was great but he was never the go to guy. Driver always was and is. Charles Woodson overall played solid. Got a nice look at him and he definitely looks like he'll be a great corner if he can stay healthy. He blankets the receivers and the best part is he is always in position too make the play.

Passing Defense B+ Running Defense B- Overall Defense B Passing Offense A Rushing Offense B Overall Offense B+ Team Overall B+ Overall nice week. Let's look for improvement on the 2nd string line next week. I think the Week 1 starters are probably set. Still some work but you have too be feeling better about these younger guys. [/QUOTE]
