2023 Packers Training Camp/Pre-Season Thread

A bigger concern to me than Myers is JRJ...I have no idea why he has ever started. Against elite DL he gets pushed back so fast he looks like he's on roller skates.

Disagree. JRJ is a good pass blocker. He does suck at the run game though. Myers is bad at everything and apparently he was so bad at line calls that AR12, errr AR8 spent much time telling him off.

"Other than that, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln?"

But what's his pocket awareness? I had a live bullfrog in my pocket and wasn't even aware.

Did it try handing you a Bud?

And it hurts knowing Creed Humphrey went the very next pick.

yuck, thanks for the subtle reminder. If you really want to get the point across though turn into a leg, humper like alphabet.

mention VaTJ Watt like a tweaking parrot  every 13 seconds.

Boris giving everyone the bird.

Word, baby!

Can't lay off that soft ball...

Speaking of OL, Sean is apparently in much better shape and more focused. Working with the #2's yesterday, had a nice showing. He can also play Center.

Sean Rhyan went 5-0 in one on ones. Beat rookie Colby Wooden on all five. Good showing for him.

Its about time!

Hopeful but not holding my breath. D&D of OL hasn't been a strength of Gutey.

I don’t know, I heard he was a level 13 elvish ranger.

Sounds like Myers may be out at Center?

I've been saying since the day Myers was drafted that he belongs at guard. Maybe his next team will figure that out. https://t.co/sAlUzzta3A

2 minutes? Um, this is Wisconsin. I'd go with under a minute.

Wow. Looks like the #Packers are ready for the first 2 minutes of family night. #TheyreGonnaNeedMoreBeer pic.twitter.com/GZuGdQ6WmU

Anders Carlson from about 60 yards. Snuck it through the right upright.

At the top of the right upright.

It’s a kick on air…but the rookie has plenty of leg. pic.twitter.com/0Bi1U4S3MS

That’s got “good from 70” distance.

I’ll take 5 of 5 from 48 vs. one end of half 65 yarder.

I’ve watched Sean Rhyan in 1v1s in 2 of the 3 days. He’s 8-0 in reps. Beat Colby Wooden three straight times today. Awfully impressive for last year’s third-round pick.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 3, 2023

Two solid reps from Zach Tom vs. Preston Smith. Smothered a spin move against the #Packers top edge rusher both times.

Good!

Luke Musgrave is just an unfair matchup in 1-on-1s.

— Matt Schneidman (@mattschneidman) August 3, 2023

That's good news for Sean Rhyan.  I kind of wrote him off after a pretty disastrous rookie year.  And glad to see Toms is rolling his solid rookie season into this year. 

Does Rhyan play any center? 

I think Ben called " Illegal Socks " on Oakland once in Buffalo!

I don't GAF. Then everyone needs to get a LOT better

Good stuff on Ryhan, Musgrave, and Tom!

Haven't had a legit TE since Jermichael. I'm calling Tonyans 10TD year an aberration.

Of course he'll probably catch 20TDs from Justin "Harrell" Fields

Packers coach Matt LaFleur on competition at center between Josh Myers and Zach Tom: "Josh has done a really good job, but we need more consistency. We've got complete confidence that's he's capable of doing that."

Translation: We are looking for someone better than Meyers.

First time in camp the offense won today.

Defense does up downs.

Hope Myers can turn it around and be a top 10 center.  Doesn't seem like it'll happen so hope he can at least be serviceable this year and find a long term solution in the offseason.   

That's part of the reason I wanted/thought Darnell Wright and Broderick Jones would be targets. Zach Tom is versatile, and if they got a rookie RT and Tom is ready, he replaces the weaker of Runyan and Myers. Want to be like San Fran? Want to best set up your new QB for success? Have a monster O-line across the board. Nijman is a swing/stop gap.

This is the year for that 2021 draft to show they were worthwhile picks, but Van Lanen is in Jacksonville, Newman looks like a long shot to be starting quality so Myers looks like the last chance.

He lists a couple of late rounders as busts to make his point. Nice!

The Packers had a full tackling scrimmage yesterday. I don't think they have ever done that under MLF. Hopefully, we are building a more physical team.

Aaron wouldn't allow it

Playing tackle football?

What next?

“No concerns right now”

Or hopefully they’re learning how to tackle if anything

Round 3-5 are mid-rounders, not late, and outside of Bulaga, the Packers' most recent great offensive line was all 4th rounders or later.

Gutekunst has been spamming the poaition but is 1-for-2 in second round picks on the O-line and jack shit after, though Tom could make him 1-for-10. That's not a good hit rate.

The teams with the best offensive lines, Philly, KC, Cleveland, Baltimore, Dallas, Detroit, have either hit or invested in other teams' hits, as well.

WAY too early to get concerned about a rookie kicker.

I remember being concerned when we drafted him. I hope he's watching film study of foot placement from some of the greats. I hope he can settle in.
