All of our beloved rivals were rubbing themselves with anticipation:
"The Packers are going to crater without Rodgers !"
Little did they know, the Packers cratered with Rodgers at 8-9 and are now on the ascent again with 9-8 in 2023 and double digit wins in 2024. 
from Demovsky:
At Packers minicamp, Jaire Alexander, Xavier McKinney and Keisean Nixon have been given the minicamp off by coach Matt LaFleur. They’ve previously exceeded their threshold for offseason participation to qualify for their workout bonuses. LaFleur has raved about all three.
Absolutely awesome! #Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur takes us behind the scenes on how Jordan Love has been calling some of the plays during OTAs. He also addressed the Keisean Nixon comments from earlier this week. #GoPackGo pic.twitter.com/neZRpQiJ15

#9's pops shining a lot on something very important. Functional training > traditional training.
May seem like something basic, but lots of NFL and college strength guys are old school. They have guys doing a lot of exercises that don't pertain to what they do on the field. This isn't such a huge deal in non-contact sports...but football, hockey, MMA...training to your movements is the key to longevity in the sport. And perhaps that is one reason they moved on from Gizzi.
This is actually called a Bulgarian Split Squar… BUT, as impressive as this looks, for a football player, it’s also damaging his ligaments and cartilage in his knees with every rep!

Train for the game young man, not to impress folks… Excessive poundage during weight training… https://t.co/ouqNmf63Up
Dillon is as lean as I've seen him. He has to have really modified his diet. You don't get that lean without severely restricting carbohydrates, and likely, ditching all alcohol. Will that translate to on-field performance? Not sure...but if he's being used in any role other than the Juszczyk one, it's an L on MLF. I think he has the build and RAS to excel in that role. Lead blocker, short-yardage specialist, and catching the ball out of the backfield like an H.

Cliffy being an old, fish-eyed fool?
More of a beady-eyed heathen
AJ Dillon running the steps at an empty Lambeau field during the dead zone. There is a short video of it within the article. He sure seems determined to make an impact this year.
Toe fungus is nasty, or so I've heard
FedYaYa or Lambeausouth probably do.
EDIT: I get a thumb down from YA YA and I didn't even mention him.
Packers release K Jack Podlesny.
@WesHod: For now, the #Packers’ kicking competition is down to Anders Carlson & Greg Joseph after the release of Jack Podlesny, who signed with Green Bay this past January.
Must want to sign somebody and needed the space on the 90 man roster.
And still my phone doesn't ring.
@ammo posted:Must want to sign somebody and needed the space on the 90 man roster.
Someone linked a story about how the Cheatriots "stole" an UFL player from the Packers in the last day or two.
Within that story, IIRC, the author mentioned the Packers were at 89 players, so they could've signed this guy without a corresponding release.
So the story goes...
I went to Packers.com and counted the roster, twice. Came up with 89 both times. Posledny was not on the roster either. So before Pods was released they would have been at 90. The story must have been rong or the author knew Pods was going to be cut and that is where he got the 89 number.
The roster includes Kenneth Odumegwu who is part of the NFL's International Player Pathway Program (IPPP) and doesn't count against the 90 man roster.
Thanks for that tip antooo.

Packers claim K James Turner, Kicker, off waivers from the Loins:
They seem bound and determined to find a reliable kicker for 2024. May the best man win. Finding a very reliable long snapper would help in that regard.
Having a really good kicker especially in tight playoff games is vital as we all know only too well. Also, I don't know the exact stat but well over 50% of NFL games have a less than a touchdown point differential. Another reason having a reliable kicker is a must.
With the new kickoff rules and not wanting touchbacks, I wonder if Frenchie would consider bringing back Mason Crosby?

Do they need another waterboy or someone to do the dirty uniform laundry?
New rules are going to impact the skill set that NFL teams want in a kicker. The smart coaches will figure it out fast and have an advantage for a year or two. I don’t know what that skill set is, but hopefully the boys at 1265 do.
Other than the HC, of course, I imagine the ST coordinators and associated coaches have likely had a very busy offseason. Given the new rule, they have to plan for both KO coverage and return... while trying to get the kicker's head on straight, see if the new long snapper is going to work, plus the punt teams.
I hope we find out this is a strong suit of Bisaccia. He's got plenty of weapons to work with and surely has the drive and motivation. Now let's see his wizardry come to life.
P.S. to Bisaccia: If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'.

It'll end up like everything else. The really smart guys figure out something effective, the guys that are smart enough to know they're not the really smart guys but also like their paychecks will copy those tactics and the lugheads who think they're smarter than everyone else will keep doing it their way and fail spectacularly. 
I feel like a kicker that can tackle would be a huge asset with the new KO rules. Maybe start training a defensive player to kick off.
Why not? I believe Willie Wood did some kick offs.
