Jimmy Graham (groin) has a chance to play Sunday against the Broncos. He went through the early drills in practice after not practicing on Thursday. Coach Matt LaFleur said Graham wouldn't be a long-term issue but there was some... https://t.co/E2icV657fX pic.twitter.com/CjpJUxTpKq

From SI:
"The Packers are one of five teams to have happily kept every kickoff in the end zone for a touchback. The result? With the Bears booting one kickoff out of the bounds in the opener, Green Bay’s average field position following a kickoff is the 27.5-yard line. That’s the third-best starting point in the league … for doing nothing. "
Keep it up !!! With a potential fumble and the way the NFLFU likes to throw flags, why bother ??!!
I thought that was supposed to be the majority outcome of the rules changes. Every time I see someone return a ball out of the end zone and end up short of the 20 I just have to shake my head.
Some of these guys can't help themselves. Short kick, less hang-time, etc....."time for me to be a hero" !!!
It's somewhat remarkable that just a few years ago, getting to the 20 (+) yard line from a KOR from the end zone was pretty common.
Now, with the rule changes, it's not as common. Returns to the 25 are even rarer.

Excellent point! Add in it removes the risk of injury, and it makes even more sense.
Since returning to action in Week 16 of the 2018 season, Bryan Bulaga's 0.5% pressure rate is the lowest among all OT's (min 100 snaps).

Bulaga has allowed (1) total pressure on 182 pass-blocking snaps over the past four games.#GoPackGo pic.twitter.com/fm0mMygQ0B
Some ready to throw dirt on this guy . Guess what - he's still really good !!
And he's done it against 2 top shelf defenses !!

Ty Montgomery.
From FaFleur presser: looks like Graham will play & Jenkins will start at LG
Bears fans were bitching about Bulaga choke-holding Mack on most passing plays.
Well, this is one way to bond as a Team Captain..
Za’Darius Smith said yesterday he was treating the entire defense dinner last night.

Guys asked him: “Z, what’s the limit?’
There was none, and Smith said the bill was about $5,000 at Republic Chophouse in Green Bay -- not as bad as he thought it... https://t.co/ZVxRPjbAld
Great. So a dinged up Graham is gonna make a go of it. That’s just fucking spectacular.
That guy needs to be sent off to Canton sooner rather than later. He’s past his expiration date.

Easily the best free agent signing since Woodson. Very happy to have him leading this defense.

Exactly.
Republic Chophouse was one of Woodson’s favorite places in GB. The Smiths were fine additions.
In fact. IIRC It was Damarious Randall that took to Twitter during his rookie camp complaining there wasn’t anywhere good to eat in GB and Charles took him to school.
Graham is questionable on the injury report just released. He's not offering much when healthy and I wouldn't be that surprised if he's inactive on Sunday.
ChilliJon posted:Great. So a dinged up Graham is gonna make a go of it. That’s just fucking spectacular.
One of the few things known about Jimmy, he don't miss games. IIRC, he had one season where he played like 11 games, almost every other seasons he's played it's been the full 16.
He broke his thumb last season. Didn't matter, he played.
He didn't play well, but he played.
#Packers injury report. Lane Taylor and Oren Burks are out. Montravius Adams doubtful. pic.twitter.com/4yKOqWkMB3

Think his thumb injury led to a tipped pick in the EZ that should have been a TD.
I get the guy is an all timer at TE. But how everyone can be cool with Clay in LA because his best days are in the rear view mirror but Graham just needs a chance is homerism on a grand scale. Graham looks about as done as done can look. And the last thing I want to see is done with a bad groin.
Tonyan is a better option in this offense. He can’t block either (and while we’re here Lewis hasn’t exactly been a blocking force either) but Tonyan is a slightly poorer man’s version of George Kittle.

As opposed to some players who have to be chased to pay their bills...
And I'll assume there's a lot of coughing in Arod's direction....

These first 2 games have taken a bit of a toll.
Shepherd and Burks still need another couple of weeks.
Good to see Hollman has worked his way back. Neck injuries are nasty.
Hate to see big Mo and Martinez are hurting. It's good that Brown can rotate in as needed. Might be a good week to see more of KeKe.
Fackrell and Graham...meh. Don't know if either of them would be sorely missed.
But if Kumerow can't go, that may limit some options at TE.
I wonder if Summers might get any snaps if Fackrell needs a spell or can't play? He normally sees lots of snaps.
Dexter may see some plays at RB if Jamaal has any troubles.
Hope Jenkins is excited for his first start!

Then you get Beringer White Zin or Yellowtail Merlot.
Enjoy that!

Um yeah....like destitute man's version.
I happen to have a Beringer White Zin and a Yellow Tail Chardonnay in the pantry as we speak.....that's "Company Wine."
We classy.
I know restaurants have a ridiculous markup on alcohol, but I'm sure I could find a perfectly adequate Garnacha or Viognier at the liquor store in the $20-30 range.
And no white zin or chardonnay, although I'm reminded of my niece's college graduation party, a backyard barbecue with lots of red meat perfect for red wine. My sister had three bottles of wine out: white zin, chardonnay, and moscato. Talk about stereotypes.

I want to see Tonyan lining up at #1. Get it done young man.
The Packers just promoted Evan Bayliss from the PS. IS he going to be used as a blocker or a receiver more? Gute and MLF have expressed a liking for Bayliss's talents on the field based from his play in camp. Will we see more Bayliss than Tonyan? More Bayliss than Graham or Lewis?

I'm going to the game this weekend and am really looking forward to seeing the whole field. TV cameras typically focus on the QB and we are left with seeing AR just dance around and hang onto the ball. I am curious to see if guys are open and he isn't seeing them or if everybody is covered.
Yep. No arguments here. For those wondering why AR is still occasionally showing that same habit, I think we have to remind ourselves he didn't get into the sandlot style football/waiting forever for a guy to get open overnight.
That was years of being in an inept, stale offense where he developed those bad habits. Coupled with his complete disdain to throwing INT's. Then add to that, having a QB coach in Frank Cignetti who reportedly AR hated and had no respect for and a HC in MM who tuned out.
I fully believe MLF can get AR out of those habits including some bad footwork he's still showing here and there. But it's going to take some time.
Hope we don't get copy and paste 13 more times this year.
WTF happened to Taylor? 2 starters on IR after 2 games.
Bicep injury apparently. I think Jenkins might be an upgrade there though.

You're going to get at least 13 more weeks of YA Tittle liking every one of your posts, however.

Peppers was a pretty good signing. I might give it more than 2 games before declaring this signing to easily be the best since Woodson.
