It's a game of inches.
It's important to get penetration into the backfield.
You must run the ball to set up the pass.
You're right, but the original point was that Hyde is slow and lacks "pure speed" which is provably untrue. I'm not trying to say Hyde is great or better than any other player, but he's not AJ Hawk (smart, instinctive but always 2 steps too slow). He has a role and he produces just fine for that role. Would I want him covering Antonio Brown? Absolutely not, nor does any coach in GB, but he's not a step slower than everyone else.
BTW, Hawk ran a great 40.
Hawk's problem was that he was not instinctive, or would not act on his instincts. His position coaches always talked about trying to get him to pull the trigger & not be so cautious.
He probably thought they wanted him to pull their finger.

That's the guy I want
What is with the Carl Bradford love? I thought he showed up last week. Didn't think DC's would be game planning to avoid him just yet.
His career in GB was on fumes after showing next to zero over the last 3 years. He pleasantly surprised some people by looking competent vs. CLE. Not a tall task amongst our ILB desert, but it happened.
Yeah even though he's only been here for 2 years prior
Does anyone know of a website that shows targets and completion percentage for DB's.
PFF has yards per coverage snap, but I can't see the results.
You would think this would be easy to find but my Google fu must suck.
Hopefully Hundley isn't significantly injured. We could really use that 3rd QB roster spot on the DL to start the year.
In my opinion, neither QB is worth it. We'd have the same chance of winning a game by picking up a vet off the street as we would starting one of them. Bring in a couple guys for a workout, see who is in shape, and keep their number handy.
Matt Flynn is currently unsigned.
Did not know this..
If Sam Shields plays all 16 games (he missed four last season), then the Packers should go over on interceptions, too. Since 2010, Shields is tied for second in the NFL with 23 interceptions. Only Richard Sherman (with 28) has more in that span
Not bad for an undrafted free agent.
Hundley doubtful for SF this week
Things are pretty muddy at backup QB unless his ankle heals fast. TT may have no choice but to go with 3 QB's on the 53 (at least initially).
Matt Flynn.
Pokeman Go?

Packers coach Mike McCarthy said the team is doing a team exercise in-house instead of practicing today. "We're raising the football IQ," he said. Packers will have "two big practice days this week."

Jordy Nelson will practice Monday, his first full workout since coming off PUP. "He'll go through the individual (drills) and then we'll take it from there," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "First things first."

They must have arranged for Oldschool to talk to them.

Sort of.
Team road trip to his old stomping grounds.

Agreed.
Ankle injuries are notorious for dogging players for an entire season. It will be tough for him to overcome, and I can't see the Packers taking that risk.
Recorded Oakland game and watching it today. Noticed this @ halftime & posted it on my instagram too.
#aaronrodgers helps fellow #quarterback #bretthundley off the field after ankle #injury. Great display of #leadership by #greenbay #packers #star #qb #nfl #ucla
"Rodgers on Hundley's left, being the submissive side since Hundley is right handed shows Rodgers is a pusscake. Colin Kaepernick, my former alpha student would never have allowed that. He would have jumped on Hundley's back and demand he carriage him to the locker room on his good foot. SO easy to see. "
Tretter to start?
McCarthy: JC (Tretter) has earned the starting position at center. Unfortunate what Corey's going through. JC's done an excellent job.

What happened/what's wrong with Linsley?
He owes his sister.
A little surprised by that move from MM, although he does stress the importance of availability. Certainly a luxury having two starting caliber centers on the roster.
JC: "what goes around comes around"
It's almost irony.
Wasn't this always the plan? Linsley just ended up playing so well as a rookie that they didn't want to disrupt the rhythm once Tretter was healthy. Sounds like a similar thing is happening now, Linsley has been unhealthy and Tretter is in rhythm with the offense. No need to disrupt it.
They have a hell of a lot of depth at C. Although it sure seems like Linsley is strictly a center. I love watching Tretter get up field on a regular basis.
Linsley is still on the PUP with the hammy, right? Availability.
And, if I recall, they didn't think he'd be on the PUP long. Almost a month now!

Everything.

Justice. Karma. Call it what you will.

The odd thing? He pulled this back in May. I get that hamstring injuries can linger, but good grief that's 12 weeks of rehabbing. So either he tore it and MM isn't saying it, or he re-injured it sometime just before TC. Linsley has not participated in any OTA's all season IIRC.
Oh, and once again Teddy will be earning his $$. If Tretter sticks all season as the starting C, I believe that would make 4 starting OL that are all UFA's at the end of the season. He and Russ will really need to work their magic.
Tidbits from today:
Jake Ryan is indeed back in pads and is working on what looks to be footwork in coverage by himself at one end of the field.#Packers WR Jordy Nelson did not get team reps, but he is participating in offensive jog through. A little more than just individual drills.Davante Adams schools rookie CB Josh Hawkins on deep route. Must have been a double move Adams was wide open#Packers ILB Blake Martinez continues to impress in coverage. Would've delivered a big hit against RB Brandon Ross after short catch.#Packers TE Jared Cook making all kinds of catches today. He's "an artist" in the passing gameStarters are getting a lot of reps today. This is their week. They'll play a lot against San Francisco Friday night.Tim Masthay had some really nice punts today. His last kick had 5.13 hang time and landed right on the sideline. It was perfect. #Packers
I assume Rodgers threw the ball like a boomerang, then turned and walked to get a drink while Jordy got up to catch it.
No knee brace for Jordy Nelson in his return to practice. Interesting that ACL O-linemen Bryan Bulaga and Don Barclay both wear large braces. Skill-position players almost never do.
