Yeah I've heard great things about Barrington. Doubt it's this year but really hope he's the long-term solution at one of the ILB spots.
What's up with Lattimore? Any chance he's challenging for playing time?
Imo Janis is a near lock for the roster. That kid has every measurable and the word is already out on him. His only question was the competition he was facing in college. Even after missing the first few days of camp he comes in and makes big catches with great body control. There's a few late round receiver steals every year and I have pretty good confidence in him developing into one. He may have little impact this year but he's a keeper.
Couldn't agree more about Janis. Would be terrific to have another bigger WR with wheels, like Jordy. If he can get his head around the play book and earn Rodgers' trust... sounds as if he's a playmaker.
Why did Packers WR Jeff Janis have his hand wrapped in a clear plastic bag Sat. nite? "Trying to keep my game notes dry." Says it worked.
"I think one of my best attributes is being able to stretch the field and have the quarterback throw the ball downfield and make a play on the ball," Janis said. "That's what I'm trying to get done." -espn (demovsky)
Beverly, Mass., resident Pete Frates, started the “Ice Bucket Challenge” with his family on the social sites Facebook and Twitter. Frates, 29, has lived with ALS since 2012, and he has worked with The ALS Association’s Massachusetts Chapter. A former Division 1 college athlete with Boston College Baseball, Frates tirelessly spreads awareness of Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
“This is a creative way to spread ALS awareness via social media and in communities nationwide,” said Barbara Newhouse, President and CEO of The ALS Association. “We thank Pete Frates and his family for getting so many people involved in spreading the word about ALS.”
Couple of blurbs from Monday practice from JSO and twitter
Today's practice was closed to Public, but Peter King and SI were there and we should get a report on Tuesday, they already did the bears/lions/vikes
Great news: Morgan Burnett was back at practice today
Center JC Tretter allowed what would have been a sack when he lunged at Pennel only to have Pennel side step him for a free run at the quarterback.
"UDFA Mike Pennel, 6 foot 4 and 331 pounds, was called a "once in 20 years" talent before the 2012 season by his defensive line coach at Arizona State. A few months later, Sun Devils coach Todd Graham and his staff "couldn't wait to get rid of him."
....Now he's making some noise in GB
In one-on-one pass rush drills, OLB Julius Peppers took a rare turn and proceeded to whip LT David Bakhtiari on an inside move that would have resulted in a quick sack.
Rookie OLB Adrian Hubbard showed something in the half-line run still. Shed TE Justin Perillo to stop RB LaDarius Perkins
Bradford only got 8 snaps vs Titans, hopefully more on the speed-turf in St Louis
Datone Jones had a real good rush for a "sack" in this team segment. Has that athleticism.
Safety Sean Richardson with nice 2-hand breakup of deep ball down middle.
You can't make the club in the tub. Pennel's competition can't get on the field and it'd be a bit of a surprise if he didn't make the final cut.
What's the deal with Pennel? "Once in 20 years" talent to "couldn't wait to get rid of him"? Off the field stuff?

Made me laugh Satori
Those are the JSO writers' comments, I just cut and pasted them
Gotta give credit to the original comedian

Todd Graham is a douchebag.

Carlos Mencia disagrees. Oh, and he really is Mexican.

Did he make a joke about AngryYooperpackfan too ?
Yup...gotta friend that works in athletics at Pitt. Said the one year Graham worked there he managed to piss off a ton of people in the Steelers organization because they share some facilities.
Basically at one point, he bitched about nutrition and weight room quality, and the Steelers were not pleased. Basically "it's good enough for the NFL, but not for Pitt?" Basically, they were glad he left.

Oh, I'm not messing with Yoop. Being called a douche, that will stay with a guy for a few..minutes.
Well written training camp report over at the MMQB:
According to the tweets I'm reading, Janis is having a killer day today, catching almost everything thrown at him.

Agree with you about King, but the article isn't by him.
Nelson definitely full go. Lining up with No. 1 offense in team.

Dang, looks like I whiffed again.
It says "MMQB by Peter King" at the top, but the byline is from Klemko off to the side.

I for one am shocked by this revelation.

Best spray tan ever! Who is King's stylist?
Whoa! Jerel Worthy traded to Patriots!
@RobDemovsky: From Jerel Worthy's agent. RT @ChafieFields: Pending physical @packers DT @I_AM_Worthy99 traded to @Patriots!
@RobDemovsky: The "pending physical" part is key. Worthy hasn't practiced yet because of a back injury.
@jasonjwilde: Worthy, a 2012 second-round pick from Michigan State, tore ACL in 2012 season finale. He played only 12 snaps last season.
@RobDemovsky: #Packers will receive a future pick from the Patriots, but only if Worthy makes the team, according to an NFL source.
Just TT attempting to salvage something from a bad draft pick.
He fits the patriots scheme & ours. Makes sense. Be great to get something in return

Pennell is a run clogger. Worthy is . . .
Worthy has been fitted with a camera to spy on the Patriots. TT is crafty.
This is interesting:
@TyDunne: Worthy basically said he was good to go any day and that the ball was in Ted Thompson's court. Has been waiting for the green light.
Likely that TT has been holding Glass Joe Jerel out while looking for best trade opportunity. Don't want the china doll to break again. Meaning he was either gonna get cut or traded from the get go.
I'm excited that we received a warm bucket of spit in return.
Equal value.
