drops? well covered? bad throws?

Couple drops, a bad route on one. He had to lay out for a couple, but I'm not going to say Rodgers is throwing a bad pass.

Boykin just had a nice 40 yard reception on a quick bubble screen

When did Josh Morgan start fielding punts?

When did Josh Morgan start fielding punts?

After seeing a few games of Scot Loeffler at offensive coordinator, I wonder how good the combination of Hyman, Royal, Morgan, Harper would looked if we had actually had complimentary routes like we have now.

Tell me about it...

With Randall Cobb out for 6-8 weeks and James Jones questionable, Jarrett has a good shot at seeing a considerable increase in playing time.

Exhibit A on why Seattle's secondary is called "The Legion of Boom"


Also, how badass of a name is that?

 

[Ragingcroc]

I think the reason people underrated Kam Chancellor was because he was forced to play free safety at Virginia Tech because he was the best at the position. His natural position is a linebacker/safety hybrid or a classic strong safety which he gets to play in Seattle.

I'm not afraid to admit I vastly underrated his pro potential. I liked him at Tech but thought he gambled too much going for big hits or INTs and that led to him getting burned. I just felt like that wouldn't work out well for him in the NFL and he'd be nothing more than a spot duty guy. Boy was I wrong. Dude is a beast.

good article on Boykin Jarrett Boykin overcomes speed limits to impact Packers offense

good read, glad that the included the obligatory big hands comments.

"At his locker, Boykin grips his iPhone. The cellphone resembles a Tic-Tac box in Boykin's palm. He does have other physical gifts — these massive 10¼-inch hands. Sherman, now at Purdue, has been coaching receivers since 1991. He's never seen bigger hands. Boykin wore size 3XL and 4XL gloves. By comparison, Randall Cobb has 93/8-inch hands.

Boykin isn't sure why his hands are so big. Maybe, he ponders, maybe it's from popping his knuckles so much as a kid. Either way, cornerbacks in Green Bay say this is how Boykin will be able to beat the jam at the line. Cobb uses quickness. So does Jordy Nelson. Boykin is more of a boxer at the line."

also, 10 1/4" hands?? I didn't know they were that big, good god that is crazy...seriously take out a ruler, measure your hand and imagine just how f'ing big of a hand that is
