Picture last week, except the exact opposite.

Here are my random thoughts/observations:

• As mentioned, excellent showing for Aaron Rodgers. He was much more decisive this week with the football, but it also helped that the WRs only had one drop.
• Good to see McCarthy dust off the QB sneak a few times. That was really Favre's achilles heel, after it being ignored so much by Holmgren/Sherman for unknown reasons. Adding that to their playcalling arsenal will hopefully relieve their 3rd-and-short woes that plagued the team last year. Hopefully Rodgers can withstand the pounding.
• The first team defense still looks a little shaky, but I have faith in its ability to jell by the time September 8th comes around. They still haven't played at full strength. Pickett/Jolly at DT can do wonders for their run defense.
• With the potential Desmond Bishop/Abdul Hodge/Tracey White decision for last 2 spots at LB looming, I'm almost willing to sacrifice the loser of Poppinga/Chillar (which looks to be Chillar) to keep all 3. I'm guessing the team keeps 7 LBs this year, as Hodge is almost too good not to make the team and White and Bishop also are key contributors on Special Teams. Bishop is probably Hodge's equal on the field, too.
  
• Did anyone else get taken aback by seeing Patrick Ramsey and Michael Pittman on the Broncos second team? I'm getting so de-sensitized to the TT youth movement, it almost seemed like 'cheating' to have veteran back-ups.
