@ByRyanWood: Christian Watson indicated it’s unlikely he’ll be able to play Monday night vs. Giants. Made it clear he wants to be on field as quickly as possible, but hamstring will likely need more time.
Christian Watson says he’s spent “tens of thousands of dollars” consulting medical experts on injury prevention. General consensus, he says, is strengthening his back so hamstring doesn’t overcompensate. He’s hopeful more well balanced distribution will avoid recurring injuries.
So those guys think Martindale is going to blitz the bejezus out of him.
Christian Watson (hamstring), Elgton Jenkins (shoulder) and Quay Walker (shoulder) did not practice today.

Aaron Jones practiced for second straight day. Jaire Alexander practicing also.
Darnell Savage returned.
#Packers coach Matt LaFleur said that RB Aaron Jones is progressing but not saying whether he's good to go this week. Said just being cautious in holding out G Elgton Jenkins.

keys: 1) Play 5 man front to stop the run and make QB beat us 2) Don't lose the turnover battle. Giants are coming off 2 wins and then a bye, Packers can't play as well as they have the past 2 weeks...can they? People shouldn't freak out if this game is close.
I reserve the right to freak out. I do what I do.
I would be just fine with a win no matter how it happens. They just came off two big wins and it may be natural to have a bit of a lag and playing what should be an inferior opponent. But these are young guys so there shouldn't be a lack of energy. It will be their first test in how they handle success. Will the team, including coaches, keep their foot on the gas or take a breather?
MM teams would lose this type of game. Hopefully, MLF and the young guys don't follow suit.
I like that this is a road game. Another step in proving where they belong.

Not just that....unscouted looks....Wink will throw the kitchen sink at him I guarantee it.
Stuff that's not on tape.
My boy Anders seals the deal with a walk off FG in a tie game. Packers -6.5 on the road? Christ, I know they beat the defending champs and all but they ain't the Eagles or Niners.... FFS
speaking of kool aid-he is a CB the Packers should consider in the draft. May as well keep drafting defense.

Tens of thousands?
A simple call to Dr Joe Rogan would have sufficed.
They look like one right now. But lots of season left.

I sure as hell hope MLF is ready for that first sentence and has prepared Love adequately.
Ja's an odd cat. Also, interesting choice of outfit.
And, I am not buying him not playing the last 4 games (without being placed on IR) is all related to a shoulder "injury".
*Missed the last FOUR games, not three. And was never put on IR.

So over him.
Next.
I hope we haven’t peaked yet. A young team can be good and bad as far as mind set. Hopefully the guys don’t relax because of recent success and perceived strength of opponents left. No relaxing and remember we’ve lost half our games so far.
Yah, and I hope the Packers don’t think they’re gawds now that they beat the Chiefs. I want, AGAIN, progress, I want a team effort, I want a win dang it. A crushing.

He sure was ready to play vs. The Rams & Brett Rypien though. Bears too, to start the season.
Wink should stick to beauty pageants.

Starting to agree. He hasn’t done shit this year. Walk the walk, then do your self marketing bullshit.
If you’re playing like top 5 at your position, I’m fine with you trying to cash in with your WWF persons. If your playing middle of the pack, in his case not even fucking playing, you just look like a fucking moron.
Cut him, trade him. He ain't Packer people. I don't care if he's an all pro the next five years. Somewhere else.
