Cheese Curds, 8/22: Packers WR J’Mon Moore is Waiting for His Moment

Heading into training camp, wide receiver seemed like one of the only true position battles likely to play out this season. It’s surely shaped up that way.

The Packers’ three rookie receivers have jockeyed for position with the well-traveled Jake Kumerow, and anybody who seriously claims they know who will emerge victorious probably has a bridge they’d like to sell you as well.

That’s not to say there aren’t favorites. Kumerow has earned every bit of the praise he’s received from Aaron Rodgers, Mike McCarthy, and fans alike, while fourth-round pick J’Mon Moore has struggled.

For his part, Moore has owned those struggles and is just waiting for his own big moment. With two preseason games to go, including one against a suspect Oakland secondary, his time is now.

Albert Breer reports the Raiders are turning down offers for Mack, which could still be prohibitively expensive even if Oakland was interested in doing a deal.

If you think local media is too friendly with the Packers now, imagine living in an era when the local newspaper was largely responsible for the team’s survival. Pete Dougherty lays out the story of how the Green Bay Press Gazette all but saved the franchise.
