2013 Training Camp: Tweets for Tuesday, August 20th (Shells) | Timesfour Green Bay Packers

Good morning everyone. It's going to be a hot one at Packers practice today.

81 degrees at Packers practice today on way to upper 80s. Going to be a hot one.

Unlike yesterday, stands are full today. Estimated attendance: 1600

Which Packers QB is missing from this pic? pic.twitter.com/Ch8HbIdzYD

Haven't seen Aaron Rodgers anywhere on the practice field yet. And no this doesn't appear to be a vets day off.

Maybe my eyes are failing me but I haven't seen Rodgers out here yet.

Was told "everything's fine" with Rodgers. McCarthy will explain the absence after practice.

@LoriNickel

So Finley is doing simple pitch and catch on sideline w coach when fans loudly react to a little drop... a fan says don't listen to these people! And 88 gives a thumbs up. 'I don't.'

Hey, it's Derek Sherrod.

Injuries:

‏@RobDemovsky

Looks like CB Loyce Means has been added to the DNP list. He's not stretching with the rest of the defense.

CB James Nixon, who was hurt at STL, has returned.

later on...

CB James Nixon dropped out of practice. Tried to go, but knee is still bothering him.

Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson, Charles Johnson out at wide receiver... pic.twitter.com/CNJs4vvcjI

Packers out: Johnson, Cobb, Richardson, Means, Tramon, Tretter, Bulaga, Sherrod, Mulligan, Nelson and Worthy

Lining Up:

With Rodgers out with what I'm told may be an illness, Graham Harrell gets the first team reps

No rotation at right tackle. Second straight day @Barclay_64 opens practice with the starters.

Jennings at safety with ones. Hyde still outside

In one nickel alignment, Hyde was in the slot and Hayward was wide.

White lining up in slot with ones next to Jones and Boykin

No. 1 punt returner is Micah Hyde.

Rookie Sam Barrington looks entrenched on special teams. He's on both the No. 1 punt return and kickoff return team.

Skills and Drills:

James Starks, who fumbled Saturday at STL, working on ball drills.

Vince Young in agility drills at Packers training camp http://twitpic.com/d9emj7

Not a lot of time for Vince Young. Has shown off the athleticism during drills... https://vine.co/v/hO2wWMeOiex

Packers QB Vince Young throws in fundamental drills.

https://vine.co/v/hO2DWVuFQ3m

Finley drops pass during fundamentals.

Packers Vince Young to Tyrone Walker.

https://vine.co/v/hO2jYTZ7MMV

Dorsey didn't quite have burst to run under deep pass in fundamentals. Looked catchable.

Team Period:

Eddie Lacy busts off a long run on first play of this drive.

Harrell, with the 1s, has pass deflected by Barrington and picked off by Bush. Throwing over middle to Gillett.

Also, players not in pads, but a nice read and cut by Eddie Lacy. Bursts upfield.

Fumbled snap exchange between Lewis and Vince Young. Next play, Young has a dropped interception.

Vince Young slant to Fulton thrown way behind. That's on scout team.

Nice coverage by Hyde, should have had a pick.

Team Blitz:

Next period is third down blitz.

Harrell hits James Jones on a slant to open.

Then puts a good ball on DJ Williams at the sideline.

Coleman gets a rep with 1s and just misses Walker over the middle.

@Justin_Felder

BJ Coleman kind of does the Aaron Rodgers hop-on-your-back-foot thing while waiting in the pocket. Taught, or mimicking #12?

Harrell comes back and drills one to Gillett.

Coleman withstands blitzing Hyde, completes pass to Dorsey.

Nice rush by Mulumba. Dips his shoulder and gains the edge for a would-be sack of Coleman.

Coleman beautiful lofted pass to White over Burnett.

Coleman great throw over Burnett to Myles White with Micah Hyde in his face on a blitz.

‏@TyDunne

High pop pass by Harrell to Taylor. Can't haul it down.

Ryan Taylor can't handle high Harrell pass over middle. It was catchable.

Young nice sideline pass to Gillett with Brandon Smith in coverage. Nice zip on that pass.

Jones dominates Hughes, flies part untouched for what wouldve been a sack

Datone Jones with a sure sack of Coleman. Beats Hughes around the edge to end blitz period.

@PeteDougherty

Long period of team drills, Harrell a few more snaps with starters than Young

Hmmm:

The more-observant-than-me @rothchris tells me Packers coach Mike McCarthy didn't arrive at this 11:15 practice until 12:10ish.

STs:

Micah Hyde fields the first punt for the Packers. ...Ross, Franklin and Hines are also back there.

Hyde takes first turn in full punt return drill and catches it easily. Very confident in what he's doing. Returned punts at Iowa for 2 yrs.

@Paulimig

When Micah Hyde catches a punt, I see a natural ability to do so. When Johnathan Franklin catches a punt, I see a lack of comfort.

Now No. 1 kickoff return. Franklin first on deck.

@PeteDougherty

Ross second, Harris, Hines, Green also in line

Harris is a great option for KORs, but a decision has to be made whether to expose him to more big hits.

Lane Taylor has replaced Don Barclay on kickoff return first unit

Barrington still on first kick return unit. Moses has replaced Manning from Saturday

Pass Rush 1 on 1s:

Pass rush 1 on 1s look like they're coming up.

OL/DL apparently will do 1-on-1s but I'm not going to count non-padded reps in the camp-long records

@PeteDougherty

Team in shells today, not full pads so 1on1s don't count on camp totals

This isn't traditional 1 on 1s. More of a fundamental drill.

First round of cuts coming up, Ted Thompson's attention is on the 1 on 1 pass rushing drill... pic.twitter.com/PdJSudD1t1

A couple wins for Don Barclay in 1 on 1, working on Moses.

Mulumba looks strong. Better rusher in this drill than he was 2, 3 weeks ago

Clay Matthews chats with his fellow OLBs at Packers practice. pic.twitter.com/2zgs8l4M1Y

Lotta mass in those battles between Johnny Jolly and Josh Sitton. Lotta mass.

Now we've got 1 on 1s with OL-DL.

Oops, this is stunt work. 2 on 2s.

D-Line works on twists with the offensive line. A look at Jolly, then Jordan Miller here...

https://vine.co/v/hO2L77H56d6

7 vs 7:

Jones, Walker, Boykin line up as receivers with No 1 unit in 7 on 7.

Coleman to Stoneburner over middle in 7 on 7. Nice pass and catch.

Walker nice catch downfield from Young in coverage in 7 on 7.

Vince Young hits Tyrone Walker in 7-on-7 drill.

https://vine.co/v/hO29jAjrXZ6

Coleman with a rocket down the middle to Kevin Dorsey in 7 on 7.

‏

And then he overthrows Gillett deep.

B.J. Coleman is just so darn inconsistent. Had some phenomenal throws today, but then misses Gillett by a mile down left sideline.

Bostick bad drop from Coleman down field in 7 on 7

‏@MikeVandermause

Coleman nice rifle pass to Dorsey in traffic in 7 on 7

Young hands off and gives way to Harrell

Vince Young took first snap in team red zone. Then two for Harrell and now Coleman

Newhouse getting some reps with 1s at RT.

James Starks continues to go fifth in the RB order.

Finley can't haul down high Harrell pass in end zone. Looked catchable.

Harrell good throw to Finley running to corner of the end zone off his fingers.

Young hits Bostick in corner end zone on nice pass/catch

CB Micah Hyde draws a holding call after grabbing Myles White on a corner route.

Hayward meets Lacy head on during a sweep. No pads so he lived to tell about it.

Harrell play action throws about five feet over Jones' head.

Terrell Manning picks off Harrell over the middle to Franklin.

‏@TyDunne

Harrell throws into heavy traffic and it's picked off by Terrell Manning (on scout D).

Working with the scout team, Coleman throws a bullet to D.J. Williams for a touchdown.

DJ Williams hasn't been pleased with his pass catching this camp. Pulls down a high pass from Coleman for TD and is pumped

Next play, he finds Ryan Taylor for a score. Doing a good job with the crowd noise pumped in.

Coleman with back to back red zone TD passes, one to Williams, one to Taylor.

Coleman still behind Young and Harrell but showing poise, more precise

Lacy for 1 up middle, second and 9

Comes back to hit Boykin again for the first down.

Harrell scramble for 7, might have been sack

Harrell scrambles. Third and 2 at the 18.

‏@RobDemovsky

Looked like Lacy got stuffed on third-and-2. Either way, that's the end of practice.
