Jerry Gilbert 9/1/2007
As Packer Training Camp 2007 comes to a close, it is a good time to look back on the draft choices and camp bodies we have been watching and discussing, and draw some conclusions. In general, draftees and camp bodies have not made the biggest impact. The story of this camp has been the development of players already on the roster. Subject to a couple of exceptions, veterans from the 2006 roster are more likely to determine whether the team succeeds in 2007 than will the newly added talent. A position by position analysis will illustrate the point.
As last season came to a close, the Green Bay Packers possessed one reliable quarterback, Brett Favre, and he was widely criticized for poor ball security and inconsistent judgment. The present situation is far different. Brett Favre, at least to some extent, appears to have bought into Coach Mike McCarthy's strategy that the quarterback required by this team is a game manager who takes what the defense gives and minimizes risk. The real change however is in holdover backup Aaron Rodgers. Basically inadequate a year ago, Rodgers turned his game around, and has proved in this preseason that he could, if needed, lead the Green Bay Packers in 2007. The Draftee from 2006, Ingle Martin, and a free agent this season, Paul Thompson are non-factors. The improvement in Aaron Rodgers' game is the big difference.
At tight end, Donald Lee replaces the departed David Martin as starter. His blocking has improved significantly, and he is showing signs that he will be a more consistent receiver. Another veteran, Bubba Franks, who last season appeared to be over the hill, has, particularly in the preseason games, played as well as he has ever played as a Green Bay Packer. By contrast, 2007 Draft Choice Clark Harris will probably not even make the roster. Holdover rookie free agent from last season Zac Alcorn has also not impressed the coaches. Barring the late addition of a productive free agent, how much this position contributes to team success will depend on the improved performance of Lee and Franks.
Wide Receiver is one position where a rookie is making a big impact. Third round selection James Jones has been the brightest light in Training Camp and is likely to be an integral part of the passing attack. However, every other wide receiver returns from last season. Donald Driver and Greg Jennings are the starters. The other reserves are Ruvell Martin and Carlyle Holliday. Both were signed as low level free agents, and each is playing much better than he did last season. These players will have a big impact on whether the Packers have a successful passing attack in 2007. The emergence of Martin and Holliday has destroyed any meaningful chance for Rookie Draftee David Clowney and for all the camp body receivers. Clowney may possibly make the roster, but the camp bodies have no chance. The practice squad is the only hope for Chris Francies, Shaun Bodiford and Calvin Russell.
It is only in the offensive backfield that rookie draft choices may hold the key to success this season. Partly because of injuries to running back Vernand Morency and fullback Brandon Miree, the opportunity was there for draft choices Brandon Jackson and Korey Hall .to emerge as opening day starters. Seventh round selection DeShawn Wynn and rookie camp body Corey white could also be a part of the backfield. It is also conceivable and probably desirable that a free agent will be added to this backfield, if for no other reason than to provide a veteran presence to go with the young talent. Either way, this is the part of the team that is most impacted by newly arrived talent.
Turning to defense, the defensive line is an example of a position in which the improvement of incumbents has virtually eliminated any room for new people. Three solid starters, Ryan Pickett, Aaron Kampman and Corey Williams will start again.
New millionaire Cullen Jenkins played effectively at defensive end last year, and based on training camp, he could be a star this season. These four along with Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, will be the rock on which the defense is built. At the time of the draft, it was expected that first round choice, Justin Harrell would threaten the starters. Instead, both Johnny Jolly and Colin Cole seem to be playing much better than last year and Harrell as well as camp body Daniel Muir are behind them on the depth chart.
At linebacker, there are also returning starters, and what was once an intriguing opportunity for camp bodies has evaporated. The camp bodies will not make the team because rookie draft choice Desmond Bishop has played well enough to be the top reserve. At the same time, returnee Tracy White has been such a force on special teams that the rookies could not supplant him. One camp body such as Spencer Havner or Rory Johnson may stick, provided that a better free agent is not added, but the development of Tracy White has reduced opportunities for new players.
The defensive secondary is another position in which rapid improvement by existing players has made it difficult for new players to earn a spot. The best examples are cornerbacks Jarrett Bush and Will Blackmon, who have beaten out both incumbent Patrick Dendy and free agent veteran Frank Walker for the nickel and dime cornerback positions. Camp bodies Tramon Williams and Antonio Malone have been left in the dust. Together with veterans Al Harris and Charles Woodson, the corner back group should be more effective than in recent seasons.
At safety, rookie draft choice Aaron Rouse was drafted as a possible replacement for Marquand Manual. Instead, a free agent from last season Atari Bigby has seized the starting role and fellow 2006 free agent Charlie Peprah could be the top reserve. Former 2005 draft choice Marviel Underwood was expected to compete for the starting position, but he never fully recovered from injury. Tyrone Culver, a low round choice in 2006, was also losing out even before his injury in the final preseason contest.
In one of my articles written before the draft, which still appears below, entitled "Missing Pieces Could be Nearby", I noted that the focus at draft time tends to be on new players "however, when those high priced rookies arrive at mini camps, they may find themselves playing behind a bunch of free agents and waiver wire players who have earned a role with the Green Bay Packers." Now that Training Camp is over, those free agents and waiver wire players have generally held on to their positions on the team.
Many of us have criticized Ted Thompson for the strategy of depending upon improvement of existing players rather than adding high-priced "free agents". Based on what we have seen thus far, the players returning from 2006 have improved, and the team should play better than it did last season. On the other hand, one can suggest that the team would be even better with additional veteran talent at fullback, running back, tight end or linebacker. Generally speaking, the "all eggs in one basket approach" is not the best way to improve an organization. However, as matters now stand, Ted Thomson has improved this team. The season will tell us whether the improvement will be enough.

Fort Blakeley
Fort Calendar | Fort Blogs |
Fort Blakeley (1864-1865) - A Confederate earthworks and log fortification established in 1864 in Baldwin County, Alabama. Named for the nearby deserted town of Blakeley which was named for Josiah Blageley. Fort Blakeley was attacked and captured by Union forces in 1865 in the last major battle of the U.S. Civil War.
U.S. Civil War
A Confederate earthworks and log fortification established in 1864 as a fall back position for troops at Spanish Fort (1). The fort was a sprawling complex of nine redoubts connected by four miles of earthworks and rifle pits. These fortification were built in a semi circle backed by the Blakely River and protected on the flanks by the river and swampy areas. Confederate armament consisted of 35 artillery pieces plus a number of siege mortars. The Confederate garrison numbered about 2,700 troops including troops who fell back from the captured Spanish Fort (1). The Confederates were commanded by General St. John Liddell.
Union forces under Major General Frederick Steele (Cullum 1196) captured Spanish Fort on 8 Apr 1965 and reinforced other Union forces already at Fort Blakeley. The final Union assault was made on 9 Apr 1865 and was concentrate on the Confederate Redoubt #4. The Union forces prevailed and the last major battle of the U.S. Civil War ended with the capture of some 3,050 Confederate troops. This battle was fought on the same day that General Lee (Cullum 542) surrendered to General Grant (Cullum 1187) at Appomattox.
Current Status
Part of Blakeley State Park, Baldwin County, Alabama. This park has preserved the battlefield in a natural state with the remains of gun batteries, redoubts, zigzag trenches and rifle pits as one would expect them to be.

With 70+ years of legal experience, our firm is well-equipped to build an effective defense on your behalf.
A plea bargain may not be in your favor. Let us help you evaluate all of your options before it's too late.
Our attorneys can offer you honest & practical advice during your free initial consultation. Call now to get started!
A California felony conviction comes with serious life-changing consequences. At best, you could get formal probation with little or no jail time but in the worst case scenario, punishment could include a state prison term of from 16 months all the way up to life behind bars. A felony conviction also comes with collateral consequences such as the loss of a business or professional license, loss of employment, travel restrictions, firearms ban, and if the person convicted is not a Unites States citizen, even deportation.
If you have been charged with a felony offense, you need to contact a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer at Stephen G. Rodriguez & Partners at your earliest opportunity. We are aggressive attorneys with over 70 years of combined legal experience and if retained by you, we will stand by your side, fully review the evidence against you and do all that is possible to safeguard your rights.
Felonies include nonviolent crimes ranging from petty theft (shoplifting) with prior conviction to violent offenses such as domestic violence, assault with a deadly weapon, robbery, sex crimes and murder. Types of felony crimes include:
While a felony conviction can be a disaster anywhere, the California Three Strikes Law is especially severe, making California the worst state in which to face a felony conviction. The "Three Strikes and You're Out" felony law requires that repeat offenders face increasingly higher punishments:
Under California Penal Code section 666, (Petty Theft with three Priors or more), a person previously convicted of three theft-related crimes faces serious California felony penalties if he or she commits another theft-related crime. This means that a "two strikes" defendant charged with a minor shoplifting misdemeanor may be upgraded to a felony charge—and face 25 years to life in prison.
Felonies in California can be punished with a Determinate Sentence (a set prison term) or an Indeterminate Sentence (a variable term - such as life in prison). Most California felonies are punishable under the Determinate Sentencing laws. This means a judge may impose one of three prison terms: low, middle or high term. For instance, first degree burglary is punishable by the low term of 2 years, middle term of 4 years or upper term of 6 years. Indeterminate sentencing is reserved for murder and a few other crimes such as kidnapping, robbery or rape, and aggravated mayhem.
Usually the judge chooses the middle term, but the final sentence depends on many factors, including the judge's discretion, the crime's seriousness, the defendant's criminal history and other mitigating (less serious) or aggravating (more serious) factors.
Under California law, some crimes are called "wobblers" due to their ability to be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony. When expungement or sentencing hangs in the balance over the status of a wobbler, legal representation by an attorney at our firm can tip the justice scales in favor of a misdemeanor and minimize the impact and punishment of a wobbler crime. Some examples of wobblers include:
Even the lightest felony conviction can ruin many aspects of every day existence for you by limiting your employment and housing opportunities and the very quality of your life for years to come. In 2003, 68% of the adult arrests in California resulted in convictions. With that number in mind, choosing the right criminal defense attorney can mean the difference between jail and freedom. If we are retained as your legal counsel, you can rest assured knowing that we will aggressively pursue any and all defenses and options to secure the best possible outcome. That includes arranging for alternative sentences which may help you avoid jail altogether and taking your case to trial if necessary.
Stephen G. Rodriguez, and his expert team of California criminal defense attorneys aggressively defends California felony charges, in the Southern California and Los Angeles areas. Protecting your record from a criminal conviction is our primary concern. We will aggressively pursue any and all options to secure the best possible outcome available to you, including trial and alternative sentencing. If you are facing California felony charges, we can HELP.
Contact a Los Angeles felony attorney at our firm to receive full legal representation to protect your rights and help you achieve the best possible results in your case.

Sport full back Cicinho has revealed that, after a troubled spell in Europe that saw him consider quitting the sport altogether, he has fallen back in love with football since joining the Recife side thanks to his partner Marri.
In an interview with Esporte Fantastico several weeks ago, Cicinho admitted that he had had serious drinking problems while at Roma and that he would have done other drugs if there had been less stringent anti-doping tests.
However, the 32-year-old believes that he has put this troubled time behind him, and in an interview with Globo he reflected on the rocky road that had led him to nearly giving everything up.
"I let myself be carried away by fame, by success. I let the money go to my head and I felt capable of anything", Cicinho explains.
"I was earning R$800 [around £250] at Botafogo-SP and I went to Atletico-MG to earn R$7,800 [around £2,400]. I thought I was rich, I took R$1,000 and sent it to my parents. I wasted the rest of the money on parties".
From Atletico Mineiro, Cicinho went to Sao Paulo, where in 2005 he won the Campeonato Paulista, the Copa Libertadores and the Club World Cup. A call up to the Brazil squad arrived for the Confederations Cup in the same year, but Cicinho says that he should have paid more respect to his place in the team.
"If I had been more professional, I would have been fighting to go with the Selecao. But I didn't want to fight for it, I wanted to get my place easily".
A transfer to Real Madrid came next, and Cicinho developed - as Globo put it - a 'galactico ego', but a serious ligament injury curtailed his time at the club.
"When the plane arrived in Madrid, my head was attached to my success - it was rising like a rocket. I wanted to own everything. For example, I arrived in one pub and sent a man to open it up for me as I said I would drink everything there".
When Cicinho went back to his home town of Pradopolis, he admits that he often used his parents' house to host his parties, and that his drinking lifestyle often came at the expense of his own family.
"I used my parents' house as a place to hold my parties. I remember my mother was celebrating a birthday and I called a lot of my friends. There were about 200 people at the party, and my mother didn't know half of those people.
"It got to the point where, in the best hotel in my city, while the guy was checking me in at three in the morning, I took a piss in the lobby.
"I tried to buy the love of my boy [Heitor, now five years old] with gifts. He called me to come and play ball and I said that I was playing cards, or drinking a beer. I really failed to impress my parents or my child".
Cicinho's time at Roma was unsuccessful, while a loan with Sao Paulo - the club that had put the full back on the world stage, as he has previously described them - was disastrous.
"I made an error with Sao Paulo in my second time there. I wanted nothing to do with anything".
However, there was light at the end of the tunnel for Cicinho. During his time in Rome, he came across Marri. After a brief and failed relationship early on, the two reunited after Cicinho returned to Roma from Villarreal, and Marri persuaded him to give up drinking. At first, it was not so successful.
"When we met again, he was in one of his worst times," Marri explains. "He was drinking all day, and people would come up to me and tell me what he was doing. I said, 'My God, I'm not a kid to be betrayed'".
Fortunately for the pair, Cicinho managed to exchange his love for drinking with his old love for football. After Cicinho and Marri married in June, the 32-year-old is now hoping that his relationship with Sport will be equally prosperous.
"The love that she feels for me, I feel for her", Cicinho says. "She made me regain the love that I have for my own life. So I realised that I couldn't waste what God has given me - the gift of playing football.
"I'm very happy at Sport, a club that has welcomed me into a wonderful city. I want to make history here as the club idol Magrao did".

Hello everyone,
Tomorrow I will put 3 each of:
I wanted to use the miscanthus close to the house more like a foundation planting and for the pennisetums, I wanted to plant them as a mixed clump in the middle of the yard so they are more free standinding. Does that sound like a good idea? Any other suggestions or advice is very welcome. Hope I won't kill them all in the process. TIA,
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm sure you have these grasses in the ground already, but I would plant the miscanthus at least six feet apart. That's just my opinion. I like seeing each stand of grass. Pennisetums can get a bit wide. I would give them four feet of space. |
Thanks for you response, dereks. I had already put them in the ground but luckily managed to get the spacing pretty much as you recommended. So thanks again. They're doing pretty well so far. The Karly rose seems really floppy though - pretty much all the plumes are dragging on the ground? Don't quite know what to do about that but we shall see what happens. Amna |
Don't judge Karly quite yet. Give her another year and I'm sure she will look much better. Remember no ferts and don't amend your soil too much. Grasses tend to flop with too much fertilizer and rich soils. |
