Just like I wasn’t too amped about the preseason wins against the (two years ago) Superbowl teams, I’m not checking to see if I can use my toe to pull the trigger on my 12 gauge while I suck on the barrel, now that we’ve lost the last two practice games.

We’re talkin’ ’bout practice.

Yes, the running game is worrisome and the receiving corps is pretty young. But special teams has shown some bright moments, and it appears that we have our choice of good place kickers in Dave Rayner or Mason Crosby, and our defense seems to be much better this over last year.

And the energy level of that defense seems high - when asked after the game A.J. Hawk swore he heard someone yell “PIÑATA!” during the Jacksonville preseason game last week, knocking the snot out of some poor Jaguar RB like he had Snickers in him. I mean the guy was swinging like he was a green light:

So the Packers will start the 2007 season with a few question marks but also few excalamation points. Let’s see how far this punctuation will take us.

Tell me that’s not the coolest candy bar commercial you’ve ever seen.
