2018 Packers Training Camp Master Thread

How many is this the point where we say thanks so much good for cutting f****** Jordi and also for drafting three miserable pieces of f***? All the while getting lucky enough to have a f****** uw-whitewater scrub make the team Billy Schrader?

Brak posted:

Maybe gefilte fish should stay away from drafting wide receivers in the future.

Brak posted:

Perhaps David Rye can suck one. Anybody familiar with the Gamecocks program would know that Kurt Roper former offense of coordinator had a dude on the sidelines who wore a green hat name Matthew Sims Symmes. The same Matthew Sims is now going to be probably the quarterbacks coach for the Steelers. He's a green hat and little dude who graduated from duke. So f*** David Rye.

And so to sum up this is about as mad as I've been at Mike McCarthy since I been a fan of the Packers and Mike McCarthy's been a coach.

Opie has been booming the snot outta the ball, but can he directional kick?
Can he hit the coffin corner? 

In ****ty weather, that's my biggest question.  If Opie can get sweet hang time like he is at the batting cage that's always a bonus.  I don't give a **** how far he's booming a punt if it just rolls out the back of the endzone.

I’m actually more concerned with Kevin King getting dinged (again) and Alexander with a groin than the rookie WRs. 

They can run the ball more or feature more 2-TE sets.   Nothing wrong with that.

 

I'm actually more concerned about Brak......thoughts and prayers.  

That's why he's so focused on improving his hang time.  More hang time = more vertical = less rolling out of the back of the EZ.

This is the only acceptable outcome.

Have a seat Mr Fackrell. Mr Gilbert will be taking snaps with the 1s in camp. We’ll be in touch.....

Hallelujah!

Six more punts for #Packers rookie JK Scott:
40, 4.06,
46, 4.59,
48, 4.60,
41, 4.36
49, 4.58
38, 4.80

His average on 12 punts vs. full rush today: 46.16 yards, 4.52-second hang.

#Packers RB Aaron Jones finally back at practice. Had said he wanted to return from hamstring injury no later than 9 days ago. GB always cautious with soft-tissue injuries. pic.twitter.com/sFKwqg5JQ1

Jake Kukerow splash play alert: just beat Quinten Rollins and Demetri Goodson to catch a go ball from Tim Boyle one handed down right sideline, despite a DPI flag. Not long after, practice ends. Nothing more to see.

Kumerow beat out Rollins and Goodson?  The defense is doomed. 

I miss Dom

I'm sure you'll find somebody new to turn into a whipping boy.

A year late but I’ll take it.

At some point you have to end the Rollins experiment correct?  

The Herd might be looking for a PG 

MM has acknowledged that not bringing up Gilbert earlier from the PS was a mistake. Not sure what the deal is with Spriggs unless they've just reached the conclusion that he can't play.

Edit: Here's the story on Spriggs.

When asked in the after-game presser about why Spriggs did not start , MM at first said "Bell earned it", but then went on to say "something happened later in the week" .....sounds more like a negative with Spriggs as opposed to a positive with Bell that "happened". 

It's not a good sign either way.  I'm fine with Bell getting more work to get in sync but tackle depth is about as good as OLB depth at this point.  Like CJ mentioned, Cole Madison going MIA hurts.  I would guess Gunta Ginte will probably be scanning the upcoming waiver wires, which isn't much better.  If this team stays immaculately healthy, dangerous team.  It's been awhile since I've seen this much of drop off when it comes to backups.  Too many Goodsons, Fackrells, Spriggs and Davis' on this team.

At least they are actually moving guys around like Gilbert to get the reps they deserve.  I'm curious as to how the final cutdowns shake out when it comes to Gunte and Super OC.

I've read Doris Day had the best game as an OL.  Don't know anything else about him.  Also saw some good things about Alex Light at LT, whoever that is.  Goodandplenty may be unearthing some OL finds.

Day has pretty hair. That’s a good sign.

I heard Doris will really knock your dick in the dirt.  

I won't ask where you heard that.

Fifth-round pick Cole Madison, who never reported to training camp, is not expected back anytime soon, but GM Brian Gutekunst said he would like think the offensive lineman will play eventually. "We're fully supportive of what's going on," Gutekunst... https://t.co/VqHSaf5SR7

Looks like Rodgers/Bak may play a bit on Thursday..

#Packers LT David Bakhtiari taking first-team reps vs. scout defense, along with Aaron Rodgers. Three reps for both before second string entered. Gives them a chance to play Thursday vs. Steelers.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 13, 2018

#Packers RT Bryan Bulaga also getting first-team reps. Both he and Bakhtiari increasing their practice workload. After an offseason of Kyle Murphy and Jason Spriggs/Byron Bell, appears the starters are back.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 13, 2018

#Packers WR J’Mon Moore had a conversation with Aaron Rodgers after a team rep. Saw the same with Rodgers and Marquez Valdez-Scantling last week. Chemistry with young WR remains a work in progress. That’s what camp is for.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 13, 2018

Not the first time Nick Perry has worked out on the side, but he’s doing more today than we’ve seen him in camp. Sign the #Packers OLB is nearing a return off PUP.

Either has to have a mental health issue or a substance abuse problem (Rehab). 

Some speculation that it may involve a close teammate committing suicide. 

College teammate.  

Tyler Hilinski takes cues from Cole Madison

Hilinski had CTE

Hilinski shot himself with a teammates .223 rifle and died by suicide. An autopsy revealed that Tyler had CTE, likely caused by playing football and his parents believe that heavily contributed to his suicide. In another article, Hilinski's autopsy revealed he had the brain of a 65 year old. 

Pure guess: Cole may be 2nd guessing whether to play football again after someone he was very close to died with CTE being a key cause. 2.) I have no idea which teammates gun this was, but could it have been Cole's?

Either way, horrible story. And we have no idea how badly this affected Cole. 

That's 13 levels of ****ed up.

I was thinking a family issue somehow.  But those make more sense.  Can a player with either of those be place on IR?  Would give GB a chance to give him a year to come back.  If he is not willing to come back I see another OL draft pick or three in GBs future.  

If Cole did retire this year, that would make number three this year who quit.  Filipo Mokofisi and Paris Bennett retired.  Clark is still on the did not report list along with Cole - as far as I know.  

I finally got to see the Packers-Titans game a second time today and I was very surprised how well Kendall Donnerson and James Looney played.  Looney looks like Dean Lowry II and Donnerson appeared to have that sudden speed around the QB or RB that is important for good players so as bummed as I was about  Cole Madison and the reason for his absence I thought those two late round guys stood out.

It's not fantasy football. Real people. 

This was meant to show the merits in the play of Oren Burks, but Ahmad Thomas

One of the better snaps for #Packers rookie Oren Burks... Burks can glide laterally and beat blocks with his legs no problem. But can he handle his business and get off blocks when an OG climbs up to 2nd level on him... pic.twitter.com/lx05T8tmAZ

Yes, play him exclusively as a punt returner.
