       Packers end up leading in the first half 14-6.  They left
       Rodgers in until they scored a TD very late in the 2nd quarter.
       Flynn lead the second scoring drive.  Not sure if either was
       against the Cards first team defense.  But yet another slow
       start by the Packers O and D.

       I think the Packers are going to be fine.  But I am with you on
       one of your posts about the time to test Matthews for HGH.  If
       there was ever a freak on this, it is him.  Who was the Texan's
       linebacker that was busted for this stuff?
       Watch Matthew's weight and production mysteriously begin to
       drop.  "Just wanted to get leaner, and faster..."  When does
       testing begin?

       I love reading some of the cooments after these articles!
       Matthews is the poster child for HGH, make no doubt

       Thumbs down
       Sherrod, the Packers’ first-round draft pick, isn’t doing
       himself any favors in his bid to win the starting left guard
       job.
       A career tackle in college at Mississippi State, Sherrod got
       beat to his outside shoulder by defensive end Calais Campbell,
       who had an easy sack of Aaron Rodgers in the first quarter.
       <b>Sherrod is a work in progress. ;-(</b>

       Think Jermichael Finley isn’t going to be Aaron Rodgers’ go-to
       guy again?
       His 2011 debut would suggest otherwise.
       The Green Bay Packers tight end was Rodgers’ target on three
       straight plays when they went to the no-huddle offense in the
       second quarter of Friday’s preseason game against the Arizona
       Cardinals at Lambeau Field. Finley caught all three of them — a
       6-yard out, a 7-yard quick hitter and a 17-yard crossing route —
       to help set up the only touchdown by the starting offense in a
       28-20 victory.
       “That’s big right there,” Finley said. “If your quarterback has
       confidence to throw you a ball, and you get 5 yards and then
       throw it again down the field for 15, that’s confidence in the
       player that you are.”
       It was Finley’s first game action since Week 5 of last season,
       when he sustained a knee injury at Washington on Oct. 10. He sat
       out last Saturday’s preseason opener at Cleveland because of a
       glute bruise.
       “It was all that I expected,” Finley said of his return. “I felt
       like the old (number) 88. I started getting revved up and heated
       up. I was really close to telling them to keep me in. I’ll play
       with (backup quarterback Matt) Flynn if I had to. It was one of
       those things that I had to get past me, and I got it past me,
       and I really do feel like I’m the old 88 right now.”
       The day before his debut, Finley said he wanted to play only one
       series, presumably to avoid any further risk of injury, but he
       played three series against the Cardinals. He caught one ball, a
       3-yard swing pass, on the second series and had another pass
       near the sideline thrown behind him and was broken up on that
       series. In all, he was targeted five times by Rodgers and had
       four catches for 33 yards.
       “It was good to have him back,” Rodgers said. “He is a
       difference-maker for us. He is a tough matchup problem. I wish I
       would have thrown him a better ball on the corner route that got
       knocked away by (linebacker Joey) Porter. But it was nice to
       have him back out there. He’s going to have a big role for us
       this season.”

       I will predict that CB Lee and WR Swain will lose their roster
       spots.

       Hmm...

       Sounds like the Packers may have a Chris Williams situation of
       their own developing here?  Chris Williams of course having been
       drafted a half round higher than Sherrod but the essential
       issues being very similar.
       I'll be following this with interest since Sherrod had been
       projected to the Bears in a few mock drafts.

       Sherrod is a natural T but McCarthy wants to get the best 5
       players on the field so her is letting him try to beat out Lang
       at LG.
       Nevertheless, Sherrod will probably take a year to get ready to
       start in the NFL at G or T.  IF Clifton holds up this season the
       Pack should be OK.

       Graham Harrel looked very good at QB against the Cardinals.
       There is little doubt that he will be the GB #2 QB next year.
       GB will be cutting some good players, especially WRs.
