Green Bay has a great young team. Outside of Driver it is tough to say who Favre is going to favor. I personally think that Jennings will be fine. Jones looks great now, but when the chips are on the table Favre will go to the guys that he has had the most experience with. That would be Driver, Lee, and Jennings.I have Jennings as my #2 WR.. I have been seeing more and more about Jennings not feeling that he is being involved in the Offense. Is it too early to worry about the production of Jennings...will Jones be a threat to him or is this just preseason worries?

The first-team offense hasn't even been on the field for four total quarters in the preseason yet. It's far too soon to worry about Jennings. He was targeted in the end zone tonight and if defenses roll coverage toward Driver (which one would expect) there will be opportunities for him just as there were last season. If he gets the opportunities I believe he will take advantage. Now Jones looks to be the real deal and should be an upgrade (and possibly a huge one) for the No. 3 WR position so he could be involved. But if the Packers are forced to throw as much as I expect they will then there will be plenty of chances for Jennings to make an impact. All that being said, if Jennings is your WR2 then you should be worried because as much as I like him I don't view him as a WR2 yet. I think he's a strong WR4 and a solid WR3. You need to find a better WR2 than Jennings in my opinion.I have Jennings as my #2 WR.. I have been seeing more and more about Jennings not feeling that he is being involved in the Offense.

First off, which of those WR's is Korean?I am beginning to think Jones is gonna be something special. Jennings a few week wonder last year? Jennings did look good family night I thought.

Jennings is going way to hi my draftsfor my taste.

for my taste.The fact that someone can post that depth chart without a hint of irony tells you that Jennings is the guy to target right now in trades. And I mean NOW. Before another whole week of preseason passes!
Come on. Last pre season Jennings put on a show to become the #2. Now that he is Jones is doing the same and moving up(#3 now).It's preseason and only the second game. Jones will be the #3 and Koren (if he comes back) will mostly return kicks as he did in Minnesota. Jones will play the slot.I wouldn't worry yet. However, it's not like he's been on the Pack for 7 years and Jones has no shot at replacing him. Some of the reactions are too much in favor of Jennings IMO.He's no pro bowler, he doesn't stay healthy. He did look very good as a rook.And the stuff about Favre preferring guys is nonsense, he'll sling it to whomever
He he won't. He'll sling it to people he trusts. He stopped going to Ferguson when he dropped balls. He will go back when no one else is open but prefers to win games.I wouldn't worry yet.

You're wacky. Until his injury he was on a 1100 yd 10 TD pace. That's top 10-12.Driver had defenders draping all over him last year. With 2 more viable receivers they will all do well. Jones is the crossing pattern YAC guy. No need for Jennings to stand out this preseason. They know what he can do.In 04 Driver(1208) and Javon(1382) both did well. It's the #######g pre season. Relax.A Greg Jennings worry topic, thats funny, are u relying on him that much. Driver is the only one worth mentioning in GB, Jennings is a decent 3+ WR thats about it
I'm not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing here.Come on. Last pre season Jennings put on a show to become the #2.

So Ferguson is one out of how many in his career? Plus you said he'd go back when no one was open.(Figuratively)List the different WRs Favre has had as key WRs since he's been there, it's been a good amount at the X, Y, and Z position. Favre's been the one constant on that team IMO and the crystal clear reason why they've always been competitive. At minimum you've got 3 different players at any other position like Edgar, Dorsey, Green or Jackson, Chmura, Franks or Sharpe, Freeman, Driver. That doesn't even bring up Mayes, Jennings, Najeh, Gado, Lee or Martin at TE etc. I don't think he could have done all that he's done if he picked favoritesHe he won't. He'll sling it to people he trusts. He stopped going to Ferguson when he dropped balls. He will go back when no one else is open but prefers to win games.
Do you mean Michael?I see Mark Clayton revisted. Except Clayton did it entire rookie year while Jennings did it 5 games his rookie year. What has Clayton done since? I don't own Jennings for a reason. Reason is he burned me most of last year and probably will this year. I continue to watch Jennings go 5th to 7th round and sit back and grab Jones 16th 17th round/ That is why I beat you guys every year!![]()

Yeah, that worked out when i avoided Chad Johnson and Steve Smith.Jennings had a good year because GB had no one else to throw to. This year, they have other options.This is why you avoid mediocre WR2s for your fantasy team. The stars aren't going align for them two years in a row.

Its not favorites. Its whether or not they are where their supposed to be and they catch the ball. A lot of throws are based on timing and if the WR runs the wrong route you have an interception. Also, if they drop too many balls on 3rd down, expecially in the end zone your going to start to avoid them. For a long time Peyton Manning threw only to Marvin Harrison.For some reason Brett and Rogers are avoiding Jennings right now. Jennings says its the X. Well the X isn't having a problem in Detroit and Indi. It got to be something else. If he does catch any ball next week then I would be worried.I'm not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing here.Come on. Last pre season Jennings put on a show to become the #2.

Detroit and Indy don't run anywhere near the same offense. Plus, even Driver said "I'm not going back to 'x'" It's a product of the system, but as I said above, McCarthy throws for days and will get Jennings involved. So far this preseason, they've run nothing but the same 6 plays out of different formations. The drag route Jones scored on last night is a perfect example. He ran that same route last week against PIT. They are running a skeleton version of what you'll see in Week One. Jennings will get targets, it's up to him to make the most of them early, or Favre will indeed start looking elsewhere.For some reason Brett and Rogers are avoiding Jennings right now.

I picked up troy williamson late in the draft as an upside gamble...thinking now maybe I should swap him for jones as insurance for jennings.Jennings had a good year because GB had no one else to throw to.

I'll repeat what I said earlier - the first-team offense hasn't even had four total quarters of combined work yet. And despite that, Jennings still has been targeted in the end zone by Favre (on a pass last night which was off target). So in less than a game's work, Jennings has had at least one target in the end zone. Jones is the New Kid in Town and he's getting a lot of love. That's great but when the season begins the Packers will likely have to throw a lot and it's not like Favre has a lot of options. The TEs are worthless and there is precious little quality depth at WR. It's Driver, Jennings and quite probably Jones (who has made a believer out of me just like Jennings did last summer). That's it. Defenses will roll coverage toward Driver because he's the clear No. 1. That will open things up for Jennings and Jones. If a number of passes start going in Jones' direction, that will get defense's attention which will open things up for Jennings. It's a process and as long as Jennings stays healthy and stays on the field he'll be involved. Of all the things that worry me about this team - and there aren't enough minutes in the day for me to go through that list - Jennings' involvement in the passing game this season isn't one of them.Just my two cents.For some reason Brett and Rogers are avoiding Jennings right now.
good stuff as always packersfan. I drafted Jennings with confidence yesterday based in large part upon your observations. Here's hoping your instincts re: Jennings are better than your NBA leanings.![]()
I think Jones runs a great slant route, but he's a bit raw on the edge. IMO, that translates to him being the ideal slot receiver for this team so I don't think he'll cut into Jennings' playing time. In terms of competition for targets, don't right off Franks just yet. He looks like he is in great shape having lost some weight. I thought he performed better the other night than I've seen him play in quite a while.BTW, defenses have been rolling to Driver since Javon Walker jumped ship. That hasn't stopped him from being the focus of Favre's attention. I don't suspect that will change until Favre believes he can fully trust some of the young guys to make plays.I'll repeat what I said earlier - the first-team offense hasn't even had four total quarters of combined work yet.

I agree. Driver will continue to produce and continue to be an under-rated fantasy WR. He can flat out play and like you said Favre trusts him without question. And as the lead receiver in this offense he'll continue to see plenty of passes regardless of what the defense does. McCarthy will find ways to get the ball to Driver given how he's by far the best receiver on the team.BTW, defenses have been rolling to Driver since Javon Walker jumped ship. That hasn't stopped him from being the focus of Favre's attention. I don't suspect that will change until Favre believes he can fully trust some of the young guys to make plays.
I am a Jennings owner in a number of leagues and I think this is a great posting, I also think it gels with what I read/read between the lines in that story posted previously, Jennings might not be 100% happy with less attention but he is a team player and this will sort itself out once the regular season starts.http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=648767Simply from a non-Jennings owner perspective, I see preseason as a chance for the "new, young" players to get a chance to show why they should be on the roster. J Jones has clearly demonstrated his value and climbed into the #3 spot. Jennings is still #2 and Driver solid on #1.
BUT, with Driver and Jennings recovering from injuries, Jones has moved into the spotlight and taken advantage of the opportunity. He is still a project and developing into a support role.
GB clearly likes what they see. He has good potential and a nice future if he continues to show this ability.
Jennings will still be a solid WR on GB and a good WR4 or a reach at WR3. If you are depending on him as WR2, you are hurting. He might suprise, but you gambled too much IMO.

Agreed. Too many people think in terms of Madden, where you just plug a guy in and go - he hasn't played football in a year. It will take time to get back into playing shape, not to mention get his timing down - add to that, I think Jones, Martin and Holiday will be getting better and better the whole time.I wouldn't mind seeing him on kick return, but that's about it.I don't think the Korean ends up in the top 4 all year.Jennings had a good year because GB had no one else to throw to.

now that is what I want to hear!!!!From today's Camp Report regarding last night's practice -
Receiver Greg Jennings' complaint about being left out of the offense must have been heard because quarterback Brett Favre hit him with several passes during team and seven-on-seven drills. Jennings looked good on the receptions, including a rocket he snared between two defenders.
Martin and Holliday have looked pretty good so far.Agree with your last line...funny because it is what I said when they signed him too. I only thought it was good for the return game. Plus, he still has to be reinstated by the league, and prove he is in the shape to play football...and stay off the sauce.Agreed.
