GREEN BAY — Unless the NFL rewrites its rule book — and teams are allowed to play with only four offensive linemen — Jimmy Robinson's dream scenario for his Green Bay Packers wide receiving corps will never be a reality.

But as effective as last year's Big Five was, wouldn't it be great if they could deploy the Super Six?

"I don't think it's going any further than five," the Packers receivers coach said of the team's innovative five-receiver set, which coach Mike McCarthy used extensively last season. "But it sure is a good package for us. It's not something you can do all the time, but it certainly causes some matchup problems."

Even with the offseason release of veteran Koren Robinson, the Packers will have no problem fielding what most consider to be the deepest receiving corps in the league.

Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, James Jones and Ruvell Martin are joined by second-round pick Jordy Nelson, who could challenge Jones for the No. 3 job when training camp opens Monday, and special teams ace Shaun Bodiford and seventh-round draft pick Brett Swain will battle for the sixth and what figures to be final roster spot at the position.

"I know we've got five we'll feel good about being out there — whoever they end up being," Robinson said.

Driver, who earned his second Pro Bowl selection by catching 82 passes for 1,048 yards, remains the leader of the pack at age 33. Often Brett Favre's security blanket, he'll have to adjust to a new quarterback for the first time since entering the league in 1999.

"We talked about it, and I just told Aaron, "Me and 4, we had that thing that probably it's going to be hard for me and him to get,'" Driver said. "But I think for the last couple of weeks (of offseason practices), we were able to get that. We kind of looked at each other a couple routes, and he knew what I was thinking, I knew what he was thinking and that's what I want from him. I think that's what he wants from me as well. So if we continue to be on the same page, I think it'll work out."

If it does, Driver's scoring numbers should go up. He caught just two touchdown passes during the regular season — although he did have a 90-yard TD against the New York Giants in the NFC title game — while No. 2 receiver Greg Jennings caught 12 regular-season touchdown passes in just 13 games, making him a viable threat to become Rodgers' go-to guy.

"(Driver) doesn't look any different to me than the day I got here," said Robinson, who joined the staff in 2006, McCarthy's first year as coach. "I think the thing that's surprising about Greg is the ratio of touchdowns to catches that he had. That's pretty hard to do, to have 60 catches and 14 touchdowns (including playoffs)."

Asked if Jennings is a Pro Bowler in the making, Robinson replied, "The way you make Pro Bowls is to have a high number of catches, and when you're trying to have a balanced offense and run the ball effectively and spread the ball around, it's hard to have two guys that catch 90-plus balls. That's not to say Greg's never going to. You'd like to think you have a couple of Pro Bowl-caliber guys, and I think we do. But whether they both ever get the recognition at the same time remains to be seen."

After that top duo, the Packers expect more from Jones, who caught 50 passes for 718 yards and two TDs in 18 games (including playoffs) but tailed off badly late, catching only seven passes over the final six games, being shut out in three of those.

"He's just got to become more consistent in all areas — as a route-runner, catching the ball, and as a blocker," Robinson said. "But physical talent-wise, there's very few people in this league who can match him — his size, his strength, his ability to pluck the ball away from his body, the way he knows how to run deep routes and get open. "

Asked why Jones faded the way he did late in the year, Robinson replied, "I don't know if I have an answer for that. It seemed the opportunities were fewer late in the year, and then when he did get some, it seemed he didn't make as many plays. He would've never said he was tired or hit the rookie wall. He'd never admit that. But when you think about it, he played a 22-game season with preseason, regular season and playoffs. That's double the games of a college season. Maybe it was a mental thing."

In Martin, Robinson said the Packers have a player who'll never get complacent because "he knows it's going to be a struggle for him every year. There's always going to be draft picks, new competition. And I think you're short-sighted if you count him out."

That competition comes first from Nelson, the third first-day receiver the Packers have picked in as many years. Like Jennings and Jones, who showed play-right-away ability from the first day of camp, Nelson seems to have that same makeup.

"He really studies and prepares himself. We'll find out a lot more as the summer goes along, but he strikes me as the kind of guy that's going to put the time in," said Robinson, who has had Nelson learn all three (X, Y and Zebra) receiver positions, just as Jennings did as a rookie. "He's just got to experience this level, the speed of the game and the guys who are going to defend him. He's not going to be matched up with guys that are easy to beat.

"I expect that we'll spot-play him and see how he does. How he produces will have a lot to do with where we go from there.''
