[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 90772, member: 196"] Packers General Manager Ted Thompson said he doesn't have a problem with most of Carroll's antics, even though it is something he said he never would have done during his playing career. [i]"Well, back in the days of the leather helmet, we didn't do that," Thompson said. "I don't know. I think kids today, they show their exuberance and happiness in different ways. I think it's OK if a guy has a good time and has fun out there. Sometimes it might be considered a little over the top and things like that, but again, those guys live a dangerous life out on the corner, and if they have a chance to celebrate, they should probably have a good time. So I don't take any particular offense to it. The times, they are a'changing.'" Thompson also said he's been pleased with what he's seen from Carroll during training camp. [b]"He's doing fine. He is a tough guy. He practices every practice, he takes every rep. Those are qualities in a player that are very admirable,"[/b] Thompson said. "We all want to see guys take additional steps as we go along and I think he's taken some of those. But that's a dangerous position to play, and not a lot of good happens out there, for goodness sakes. He has a short memory, which I think is a valuable thing at the cornerback position."
