Indeed, but keep watching and you'll see he has safety help over the top. A very pale looking safety named Tanner Miller from Iowa. Its the number 2 or 3 defense and I think the CB who breaks his ankles is this guy, number 20 below, Jumal Rolle

 

Apparently they painted Adams' route on Rolle's socks so he doesn't get beat again

 

My favorite factoid about Davante Adams...in two years, he didn't miss one game due to injury. And he caught a lot of balls and got hit a lot.

 

Knock on wood that stat continues and he will be very healthy as a Packer...but he took some big shots, got up and laughed.

 

He had a phenomenal strength coach in former Badger Joey Boese, but I think once he gets in an NFL program and has the money to eat right every meal, he's going to get in even better shape. Fresno State does not have a training table for athletes...so they pretty much eat whatever they can afford...which means lots of fast food unfortunately.

 

Ceiling is high...

"No one knows our offense better than Aaron Rodgers," said McCarthy. "He clearly understands why we make changes or adjustments because frankly, he's driving this machine, and it's not only better for the rest of our offense, it's obviously better for him, too. He definitely welcomed all of the adjustments."

 

But simple does not mean sloppy, not when you're working with No. 12.

 

"He's coaching me up every time I make just the slightest mistake," said Davante Adams. "He's making sure I'm doing exactly what needs to be done. He has my best interests at heart — and obviously he knows what he is doing, so I'm going to listen to everything he says."

I'd be very surprised if this kid isn't successful in GB. I love this kind of attitude in a rookie, especially at a position that seems to breed a lot of prima dona like tendencies.

Yeah, but the team was crowded with established WRs back in 2011. Also, Cobb made some incredible plays on special teams. That kick he returned 109 yards for a TD on opening night of 2011 against the Saints is one of my all-time favorite plays. Adams is going to be a good one, but Cobb flashed a whole lot more than his rookie numbers may show.

@PackerUpdate: Adams needs 22 catches in final 4 games to break Sterling Sharpe's franchise record for most receptions by a rookie.

This is impressive as a #3 option. Sterling, James Lofton, other great Pack rookies were immediately the 1 or 2. Yeah its more of a passing league but speaks to Adams' productivity as well as Rodgers' ability to spread the rock around.

I remember the comments about Jones' hand-eye coordination and they came to the conclusion that when Rodgers threw at him in stride, he struggled. But when he turned and faced the QB like in a hitch or curl- he was fine. The Davante story has a long ways to go, but I think its a "good" thing that he "survived" the drop now and will ensure it doesn't happen in January/February

As someone who watched this guy in Fresno State games, I'm not surprised and I see him putting up better numbers the rest of the year, too. He'll drop the easy passes occasionally (did that in college) but make Jordyesque astonishing catches and run himself open more than most receivers.

 

We are truly blessed to have TT calling the shots. Enjoy the era, because someday we may be going through the 70s and 80s again....
