Packers WR's continued to YAC it up in 2012...

One of the guys in the booth said something about Ross's speed saturday night, referencing his return vs. MIN. I don't think the guy is really that fast.

Assuming you're refering to Ross? I liked the kids vision and that he seemed difficult to bring down. Im sure he will get ample opportunity to prove himself in TC.

What will be interesting to see is who/what position TT drafts to bolster AR's weapons. Because I have to believe it will be either a TE or WR or both.

Ross's combine time in the 40 was 4.39. I don't know if that speed translates on the field, but he can run fast.

Based on my unscientific eyeball test, Ross is faster than Cobb. Cobb is very quick but his straight-line speed is not that exceptional.

I guess we saw different things. I'd be tickled pretty to be wrong.

Next season:
Jones will be 29
Nelson will be 28
Ross will be 25
Boykin will be 23
Cobb will be 23

You'd think WR will be in their plans.

OL. Because a line that can give Rodgers extra protection makes the current WRs and TEs look even better.

I am quite comfortable with Nelson, Jones and Cobb being Aaron's primary targets next year. I'll miss Jennings, but these three guys have all shown that they have what it takes to be consistently great. Let's just hope they stay healthy.

Ross is not that fast? - LOL!!!

By the numbers: Wide receivers......

If this is Greg Jennings' final season, he will be remembered for one of the finest displays of pure catching in club history.

The target of 75 passes, Jennings dropped one - a short pass in the end zone in the second Minnesota game - for a drop rate of 1.33%. His previous best rate was 3.77% (six of 159) in 2010.

No leading receiver in Green Bay over the last 20 seasons has ever finished without a drop. Others with only one drop were Sanjay Beach (36 targets) in 1992, Mark Clayton (56) in '93, Robert Brooks (42) in '96, Derrick Mayes (40) in '97, Brooks (66) and Mayes (52) in '98, Robert Ferguson (66) in '03 and Jordy Nelson (53) in '08.

James Jones, with three drops in 108 targets, had a career-best rate of 2.78% after finishing with 10.53% last year.

Elsewhere at wide receiver, Nelson dropped six of 84 (7.14%) and Randall Cobb dropped a team-high 10 of 110 (9%). Jarrett Boykin didn't drop any of six, but Donald Driver dropped three of 13 (23.1%). Driver's last outstanding catching season was 2007 (two of 134).

At tight end, Jermichael Finley dropped six of 95 (6.3%), D.J. Williams dropped one of 14 (7.1%), Tom Crabtree dropped two of 13 (15.4%) and Ryan Taylor didn't drop any of two.

At running back, Alex Green dropped two of 29 (6.9%), John Kuhn didn't drop any of 22, Cedric Benson dropped one of 15 (6.7%), DuJuan Harris dropped one of 11 (9.1%), James Starks dropped two of six (33.3%) and Ryan Grant didn't drop any of three.

As units, the wide receivers dropped 23 of 396 (5.81%), the tight ends nine of 124 (7.26%) and the running backs six of 86 (7%).

In all, the Packers dropped 38 balls in 18 games, or 2.11 per game. It was their lowest average since 2007 (1.78).
