I can't remember it all, but it mentioned simple things like "good hands", "good under pressure", "takes a roster and game day spot anyway," "that is how its done in college."  The article then spent quite a bit of time discussing how practices have evolved into certain units practicing together and that it was difficult for a backup QB to practice with the Kicker and long snapper.  Same with the starting center, trying to be the LS too.Anyway, the article all made sense, maybe the Packers aren't thinking outside the box enough or maybe they just need better coaches working with those 3 guys, which pretty much have only a few duties to practice and play.</blockquote>
