This is really good news. Now lets get Raji done. I heard on the radio Collins is not going to hold out. Looks like we should have a full and healthy team going into camp with no distractions. Vikes have the Favre fall out to deal with. Now Bears have to deal with this Urlacher/Cutler debacle. And the Lions are the Lions. I'm liking our situation right now.

Eh, the Vikes and Bears might have some temporary extra distractions, but we've got plenty to worry about with the defensive switch as well as the possibility of an all new right side of our offensive line. I like our talent, though, and while I fully expect there to be some major growing pains with the defense, I'm hopeful that we'll be in the hunt for a playoff spot and that our defense is starting to peak at around that time.

Definitely would be nice to have everybody in camp ready to go.

There are still a few injuries that have to be dealt with like Wells, Giacomini, Jenkins, and Barnett. They are injured or coming off injury so there is a fair amount of rust to be shaken off.

Didn't want to start a new thread about this, but when Mort was at the Packers camp, he was talking to Matthews. Clay said he didn't know where Green Bay was, that he had to look it up to find out it was in WI. Seriously, how is this possible? It always stuns me when a kid playing big time college football with a pro future doesn't know where a certain city with an NFL team is, but this kid had relatives (multiple) that played in the NFL.

Didn't his dad play for the Packers at some point? Or am I thinking of that tight end from Mizzou?
