So the question is do they move AJ Dillon to FB, or keep him at RB and cut Emmanuel Wilson?
the Packers 95% red zone TD rate was #1 in the NFL
— Warren Sharp (@SharpFootball) May 2, 2024
not just #1 in 2023...
...but #1 for any team in database history! (since 2000)
NFL-worst 50% in 2022 to NFL-best 95% in 2023
how did they improve so much?
Jordan Love >> Aaron Rodgers, for one

I think they hope he fills Dequra role. Whatever position you want to call that. Half TE and half FB.
Wouldn't be surprised if they have all 3 of Jacobs, Lloyd, and Dillon active on game days. Especially if AJ embraces special teams and everything we know about him points to him embracing it.
Something we talked about on @lockedonpackers a LOT the last two years: in the red zone you have to scheme the crap out of it and/or have virtuoso players.

The 2022 team was just not as creative and part of that does fall at the QB play style. https://t.co/u8RJxvxAvh

Jordan Morgan: 77 - Don't be a Mandarich!
Edgerrin Cooper: 56 - Lets hope he's as good as Nick Barnett!
Javon Bullard: 20 - Forever Kevin King!
Marshawn Lloyd: 32 - Because 0 wasn't available.
Ty’Ron Hopper: 59 - Campbell's number!
Evan Williams: 33 - William Henderson of the Defense!
I was going to post something about Nick Barnett too. I hope he's better than Barnett. I'm hoping like Roquan (or Fred Warner) good at a minimum.
I have higher hopes for EdgeCoop than I do for Quay
I had been looking forward to Adams' jersey retirement.

Mr Magoo now a WR. Last years #3 QB has been moved to WR.

Has it already been mentioned that LaFleur tore a pec while weightlifting just before the draft? I guess he recently had surgery to repair it. Cant use his left arm for awhile until it heals up a bit.
I assume LaFleur can hold a play chart in his right hand.
Eric Wilson been working out.
He's gonna be in for a battle to hold his roster spot.

Don't assume. Sometimes switching sides is as easy1 as wiping your ass left-handed.

Already can see one thing different under new strength and conditioning coordinator Aaron Hill:

An extensive, 20-minute stretch period to start practice. Considerably longer than in the past. pic.twitter.com/JZHhbLpGp6
Andy Herman said they separated the big bodies from the small bodies for warmups as well (Training camp can't get here fast enough )
Interesting stuff about Tyron Hopper looks like Devondre Campbell. Let's hope he plays like DeVandre did that first season. He was in Green Bay.
After a standout performance at their rookie camp, #Packers signed former UAlbany wideout @Juehicks to the 90-man roster.🧀

Hicks’ combination of size and agility was a nightmare for CAA defenders, and will certainly be a name to watch as a 53-man roster candidate#gopackgo pic.twitter.com/eOuEcamuBX
Hicks or Wicks?🤔
If the Packers were at 90 players a day or two ago, and these last 2-3 guys have signed a contract since, shouldn't there be a corresponding release
They get league exemptions because they are...
THE 13 time CHAMPION.. MIGHTY...GREEN BAY PACKERS
Honestly I have NFI 😆

There should be. Assuming these players did sign, Packers don’t need to announce the + / - transactions until 4:00 PM EST Monday (league offices closed over the weekend).

They have a foreign player that doesn't count against the ninety and Campbell doesn't count as he comes off on June 1st.
Best 5 play boys & girls....Best 5 play.
The backup spot for Ryan could be Rasheed Walker...or Rasheed might play RG better than Rhyan and Rhyan is the backup.
Lots to unpack during Training Camp.
None of this matters. The Bears drafted Caleb Williams, might as well just hand them the Lombardi.

I would say, with regard to the O-line, the 6-7 play. At least based on last season. Rotation, rotation, rotation to keep 'em fresh.
