After this season is over yet but I agree, probably Driver's last season.

I can't say I like James Jones though yet... Something about the fumbles that just kills it for me and how he was complaining about not getting enough playing time.. You got a contract, you signed with the packers, you knew they drafted a wide receiver so whats the deal? Drives me nuts, he is a team player only 50% of the time and which brings me to worry about J-Fin being a team player.. :/ I love him but god he can be an idiot hahaha


Finley does/says stupid stuff, but he sounds like he wants to stay with GB. Jones however is just not a good fit for a team where you could be a star one week and not have a catch the next. The guy's got an ego that I just don't ever see fitting here. I'm not sure why TT broke his policy of big FA contracts just to see the kid not get playing time.

I don't think he broke his policy, I think he offers all Free agents that are pretty decent from Green Bay Contracts but they are not great deals. I bet he offered a small contract to Colledge and Jenkins but neither want a small contract when there was big money being put right in their face. I don't think Jones got offered big amount and figured staying with green bay was worth losing .1 or .2 million to be with your buddy's. He might lighten up when and if driver retires after this season and he gets more playing time. I love one thing about Jones, he knows how to get open in the red zone and on 2nd and 3rd down with 5-9 yards to go plays but he has drops.. Ugh and Fumbles...

TT expects most guys to take a hometown discount or he won't bother with them. But he's had a soft spot for WR contracts for whatever reason. I think the only reason Jones is back is because Rodgers, Jennings, and Driver went in and made it a point that they wanted him here this season. I just don't see him being a big contributor if Cobb can develop into an every-down player instead of just a return specialist.

Google it, sometimes referred to as UFO defense.
If you watched the game they had no d line on one play and a couple guys
Shifting around and 2-3 guys lined up in a colum

There's a ton of names for the same thing, so I'm not sure what play you're referring to. Capers defense has always been like that - lineup in one formation and shift to what you're actually running as the ball is close to being snapped. Honestly never heard it referenced as the amoeba defense, but people call the shit Cleveland ran a few years ago the UFO.

it really was more than just shifting.

I bet it was based off that Ryan Cleavland shift, but theirs always had 1 d line man, and the other running to the spot shifting around.

It was really odd, but cool to watch.

It was only 1 play forget what quarter it came in, might try googling it.
