LATTIMORE’S LIGHT BUT EXPLOSIVE

Rookie outside linebacker looks more like a safety

With Frank Zombo almost certain to miss at least the first few games of the regular season, the Packers might be forced to keep an extra outside linebacker on the 53-man roster. That wouldn’t be good news for players vying to be the No. 5 tight end or the No. 6 corner, but it would be great news for Jamari Lattimore and Vic So’oto – a pair of undrafted free agents who are currently battling to be fifth on the depth chart behind Clay Matthews, Erik Walden, Zombo and Brad Jones. It’s difficult to tell which rookie the coaches prefer, but I formed my own opinion after watching both players at practice last week and then in the game against Arizona.

If I had to choose between the two, I’d go with Lattimore. While So’oto might be the better all-around linebacker right now, Lattimore should be an instant dynamo on special teams. And while he’s too small (230 pounds) to beat quality offensive tackles off the edge, he might be able to provide an occasional spark blitzing from an inside position. The former Middle Tennessee State star doesn’t have great 40 speed (4.65 at pro day), but he plays fast, and more importantly, he’s very quick and surprisingly explosive for his size.

EASY TO ROOT FOR RYAN

I’d like to see James Starks supplant Ryan Grant as Green Bay’s No. 1 running back this season. Starks is the younger, shiftier and much more versatile player. That said, I’m glad Grant accepted a pay cut and will remain with the team. He’s always been one of my favorite players. That’s because his story is impossible not to admire. The New Jersey native, who was plagued by injuries at Notre Dame, wasn’t drafted in 2006. He suffered a serious injury while a member of the Giants’ practice squad. He was traded to the Pack in September 2007 for a sixth-round pick – a price some considered too high at the time. All the 28-year-old has done since arriving in Green Bay is rush for 3,457 yards and score 24 TDs. And that doesn’t include his record-setting 212-yard postseason performance against Seattle in January 2008.

WEST’S GOOD, BUT NOT UNIQUE

After the Big 5, Chastin West has clearly been the next best wide receiver in training camp. But if GM Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy decide to keep a sixth player at the position, I’m not so sure West would be the choice. That’s because he doesn’t really add anything different to the group. The former Fresno State star has good size and above-average quickness, but so do Jordy Nelson and James Jones. It might make more sense to keep a young receiver who offers a unique trait. That could be Tori Gurley’s height or Shaky Smithson’s return skills or even Diondre Borel’s athleticism. Would it be fair to keep a lesser performing player over West? Of course not, but like life, the NFL isn’t always fair.

UP-AND-COMING ASSISTANT

While many fans continue to gripe about the performance of offensive line coach James Campen and special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum, the impressive work of one of their colleagues has gone largely unnoticed. And it shouldn’t. Ben McAdoo, who worked with McCarthy in both New Orleans and San Francisco and has been in charge of the tight ends since coming to Green Bay in 2006, has done one heck of a job. Under his tutelage, Jermichael Finley has developed into a budding star, Spencer Havner made the very difficult transition from defense look rather easy and a street free agent (Tom Crabtree) and a rookie (Andrew Quarless) played major roles in the team’s march to its fourth Super Bowl.

PLAYING COLTS A WASTE OF TIME

Unless a team needs a boost an artificial boost in confidence, it’s hard to imagine wanting to play the Colts in August. Indy has won only 4 of its last 29 exhibition games – and most of those losses came with quarterback Peyton Manning taking at least some snaps. Without the future Hall of Famer, the Colts have been even more inept than usual this summer. Indy has been outscored 49-13 by St. Louis and Washington – not exactly two of the league’s élite teams. McCarthy plans on using his starters for perhaps as long as the entire first half, but I don’t see the point. The starters get tested every day in practice more than they figure to get tested Friday. And at least in practice, the odds of getting hurt aren’t as high.

REVIEW: CARDINALS AT PACKERS

Harrell showed poise in the pocket against the Cards

Harrell showed poise in the pocket against the Cards

Green Bay evened its preseason record at 1-1 by beating the Cardinals 28-20 at Lambeau on Friday night. More importantly, a number of young players stepped up. Here’s a quick look at the movers and shakers from week 2:

GRAHAM HARRELL: The second-year quarterback has struggled for most of camp, but he justified coach Mike McCarthy’s faith in him on Friday night. The former Texas Tech star played with poise and even showed some zip on a few passes. Whether he has the arm strength to succeed against quality corners remains to be seen, but he probably played well enough to convince GM Ted Thompson to carry a third quarterback.

DIMITRI NANCE: The former Arizona State star ended last season on the 53-man roster, but he’s pretty much been a forgotten man this summer. That might’ve changed thanks to a solid performance on Friday night. He ran very hard and he didn’t look overmatched in protection. The Packers probably won’t keep a fourth running back, but Nance’s quality work against the Cardinals will at least give Thompson something to think about in the coming weeks.

CHASTIN WEST: The second-year receiver was impressive a year ago, but he lost out to Brett Swain. And while the former Fresno State star has distanced himself from Swain this summer, he could still wind up on the outside looking in. That’s because the five receivers ahead of him on the depth chart are guaranteed spots on the final roster. West might force Thompson to keep a sixth player at this position. If not, he could be traded. He has the ability be a No. 4 or maybe even a No. 3 for a number of teams.

RYAN TAYLOR: The rookie tight end is fighting for a roster spot at one of the deepest positions, but it’s hard to imagine him not sticking. Already a demon on special teams and a surprisingly adept receiver, he showed improvement as a blocker against the Cards. The former linebacker needs to work on his technique, but he has the size and toughness to knock defenders off the ball in the running game and at least slow down defensive ends in pass protection. It wouldn’t be a shock to see him vault up the depth chart.

T.J. LANG: Some will argue that rookie first-round pick Derek Sherrod played his way out of the competition at left guard on Friday night, but that would be extremely unfair. Lang has been solid all summer. The third-year pro from Eastern Michigan looks unsure of himself at times, but that will happen when a still young offensive lineman is forced to take snaps at as many as four different positions in practice. It’s time to let him settle in at left guard and become the player he has the potential to be.

EVAN DIETRICH-SMITH: The third-year offensive lineman will never be more than an 8th or 9th offensive lineman in the National Football League, but he’s been better than Nick McDonald all summer. While Dietrich-Smith has plenty of physical limitations, he does have the strength to slow down defensive tackles – at least a little. McDonald is more talented, but he gets pushed around by even mediocre players. One could argue that neither player is good enough to back up center Scott Wells, but after Friday night, it’s hard to argue that McDonald is more deserving of a spot on the final roster.

C.J. WILSON: The second-year defensive end left early after taking a blow to the head, but not before he left a fairly positive impression. He didn’t get blown off the line of scrimmage and he fought through heavy traffic to locate the ball. More importantly, the former East Carolina standout played with more passion than he’s shown so far this summer. Maybe he was pumped up because he was starting or maybe he finally realized that his spot on the final roster was in serious jeopardy. Whatever the reason, he finally resembled the player whom the coaches had such high hopes for at the start of camp.

JARIUS WYNN: The former Georgia star was released last summer, but he’s playing at a much higher level now. While he’s still not a consistent pass rusher – his supposed strength – he does have some potential in that area. More importantly, Wynn is at least holding his own against the run – something he was unable to do in the past. He’ll always be undersized for a 3-4 end, but he’s gained about 15 pounds and improved his technique since joining the Packers three years ago and it showed on Friday night.

D.J. SMITH: The rookie’s lack of height makes comparisons to former Pro Bowler Sam Mills inevitable, but there’s more to it than just their size. I watched Mills when he played for USFL’s Philadelphia Stars in the early 80s, and believe me when I tell you that Smith looks like an exact replica. Whether he’ll develop into a star like Mills remains to be seen, but his instincts and his explosiveness gives him a chance to be successful. He might not be ready to be the No. 3 inside linebacker, but he belongs on the final roster.

JOSH GORDY: The second-year corner was given a major opportunity on Friday night, and while he didn’t exactly cover himself in glory, he didn’t hurt his chances of making the final roster either. He needs to clean up his footwork, but he has above-average speed, fluid hips and decent instincts. That might not be enough to make him an effective starter at this level, but it should be enough to keep him around as the No. 6 cornerback. That is, of course, if Thompson decides to keep six players at that position.
