- [Green bay Packers] Second-year pro Brandon Jackson received more raves for his offseason progress than any player on the roster. The coaching staff puts major stock in offseason work and is adamant that Jackson is a more confident, decisive runner after gaining strength and experience working in the weight room and on the field this spring and summer. He’s the likely backup for Ryan Grant, though it’s worth remembering that Jackson also looked more impressive last offseason than he did on game days. (PackersNews.com)

- [CFL] The Winnipeg Sun tabbed rookie CB Willie Amos as the top defensive player in the Blue Bombers win over Montreal. Amos "made several good plays. But the best one was a leaping interception of an Adrian McPherson pass and returning it to the Montreal 11. That not only set up a tying field goal by Alexis Serna but gave the Bombers a much-needed lift in the fourth quarter."
From the Sun's game recap: As usual, it was the Bomber defence that held the fort until the offence could get on track. It forced the Montreal offence to turn the ball over three times in the first half alone.
And it was an interception by rookie cornerback Willie Amos that turned the game around. Amos picked off an Adrian McPherson pass and returned it to the Montreal 11, setting up a game-tying field goal.
"It was a fun game, I had a great time," Amos said. "Of course, we know we had the cuts coming up and I couldn't think about that. All I wanted to come out here and have fun ... That's how I play in order to make it happen. I've just got to play my game."

Despite all the heat and humidity, middle linebacker Barrett Ruud barely broke a sweat.
"I was bad, but practice was all right,'' he said. "Today was better than it's been around here for the past two weeks. The way I judge the heat is whether my shorts are leaking at the bottom -- then I know it's really hot. Right now, I'm midway. If my shoes are dry, I'm good." (TBO.com)
