PJ Pope Report From Camp
Posted: Mon Jul 30, 2007 10:01 pm
Packers number one running back, Vernon Morency, goes down with a knee injury. He'll be out for 2 weeks and miss at least one preseason game. That gives PJ an opportunity.

(What did you see from P.J. Pope last season?)
I think he has very good in-line running strength. He has toughness. I think you saw that right away. I recall when we brought him over from Chicago in one of our blitz pickup drills. I think he's a tough player. He's another young player you see getting more comfortable with what we're doing. I like his running style. He doesn't waste steps, he doesn't pitter-patter in the hole, and that obviously fits what we're trying to do with the one-cut scheme. So I like P.J. Pope.
