#14 in'15

Wooooooooooo !

 

Anthony Robert "Tony" Canadeo

Nice facial expression on Canadeo. 

Went to high school with Tony's son Bob.

A nice guy who later gave Tony one of his kidneys.

 

hehehe Fedya, it's why I picked that picture!

 

The best part about this TC: the only real camp battles to watch are all for backup spots. We are really only looking for players to emerge as quality depth and future contributors.

We will be there Friday through Tuesday at camp every morning! Can't wait!

Aaron Rodgers average pass attempts per game dropped from 35.2 per in 2013 to 33.6 in 2014. 20 NFL teams put the ball in the air more per game than Green Bay in 2014. 

 

As that number comes down, this offense becomes more lethal. Can't key on Aaron or Eddie. You have to be ready for either. Fortunately for defenses Aaron isn't very good at spotting scheme. 

He liked that expression.

 

Full uniform to play in the backyard. Commitment.

Did you paint this Kiel?

Here's a couple worth watching

 

Corner battle: Hayward vs D. Randall vs Goodson

Slot battle: Hyde vs Rollins IF Hayward wins outside spot

Hyde vs The World at utility DB

 

DL battles:

Pennell vs Raji for the future NT

Boyd vs Gaston at DE in base

Khyri Thornton vs relevance

Ringo vs all

 

ILB battles

Bradford vs Ryan

Dantzler vs the draft gurus

Palmer vs Josh Francis vs The Turk

 

OLB

Perry vs Elliott vs Hubbard at OLB when CMIII moves inside

Peppers vs Father Time

 

QB

Tolzienya vs history. err.. IowaCheesus

Hundley vs competence

 

TE

Rodgers vs blocking DL

Quarless vs Perillo vs Backman

 

OL

Barclay vs rehab and foot speed

Tretter vs starters

Vujnovich vs the field at # 8 OL

 

WR

Abby vs Monty on KR and slot

Janis vs expectations

 

RB

Starks vs all

Neal vs Crockett vs Harris

Kuhn vs Ripkowski

 

We are not passing as much because more & more DC's are playing us to pass, thus leaving "light boxes" that give us favorable run situations.

Tell me more of these "light boxes". They sound strategic and full of tomfoolery. 

 

I googled them and could only find this. 

Great reply!!!

"Light pony" strikes a nerve.

Isn't it tolzein vs. iowacheez?

fixed

Lombardi just rolled over in his grave:

 

PLAYER DAYS OFF

No practices are scheduled on Aug. 2, 5, 9, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30 and Sept. 1. Players will not practice more than three days in a row. Only three times all camp does the schedule show three days in a row with practices.

Add to that the fact that they get what, 12 padded practices during a season...

 

But then again, the boys had to have a 2nd job to make coin to keep their family's food on the table.  Today they have private trainers 24/7/366.

 

It's a different NFL than Vincent's days.  Either way, the Pack is still ahead of the rest.

 

Let me tell you this. Vince Lombardi could have won 50 years before he coached. He obviously won when he coached. And he would have won 50 years after he coached. Because he had it. Whatever it is, he had it.

John Madden.

Still one of the best quotes from a great about someone they knew was better. Vince would hate 2015. But he'd still kick everyone's ass.

After watching a modern NFL game on HeavenVision, Lombardi barked:

 

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OUT THERE ? !

 

McGinn continues his TC preview series with a look at the offensive line.

Pennell vs Raji for the future NT

I think I know the winner here

@RobDemovsky: What's happening around the #Packers this week:

Tuesday: Shareholders meeting.
Wednesday: Mike McCarthy presser
Thursday: 1st camp practice

Really looking forward to Training Camp reports from our X4 members who are able to be there, like GD, Trophies (if he can attend) and anyone else. Thanks in advance.

Time change. The Packers @ Steelers preseason game Sunday night, August 23 has been moved from 7pm to 12noon. The reason is the Pirates vs. Giants baseball game has been moved to primetime for national coverage. Pittsburgh officials didn't want the traffic for both games simultaneously. No official word yet from the Packers, just a brief posting on their team website tonight, even though this story was posted two days ago in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. - MIKE CLEMEN

2015 Throwback? 

McGinn on the QBs:

Looks like Nike already took them off the site.

 

An intrepid observer took a screenshot, for posterity's sake, though:

McGinn's title to his QB article:

Aaron Rodgers' ability to avoid injury is a top concern

Thanks for that insight!

 

Interesting comments from scout in McGinn's article on Tolzien. Can't wait to see him work in preseason.

"Blanchard was a good pickup," an AFC scout said. "Pocket guy. Maybe he's another Tolzien who will get better in their system.

 

"These guys know how to coach that position. Somebody has to develop guys."

Signed, other NFL GMs

 

 

 

 

Packers shareholders meeting is ongoing. Ted makes a prediction for the season: 

TT: "We have a pretty good team. We have a chance to do some good things. If we play really well every Sunday, we'll have a chance to win."

It's so unlike Ted to bluntly give away the team's strategy for the season. 

Your syntax is off. It's thanksmike, not thanks Mike. Sigh!

Mark Murphy at a press conference after the shareholders meeting, earlier today.

Murphy: During tailgate tour, Jerry Kramer and Willie Davis always showed up 15 minutes early. Still have the Lombardi influence in them.

Now this is pretty cool.

@jasonjwilde: Murphy says all #Packers @ProFootballHoF'ers and players from @SuperBowl I team who are able to travel will come for #Seahawks game on 9/20.

 

@jasonjwilde: Murphy says players will then stay all week for events, then have special celebration for the @ESPNMondayNight game vs. Chiefs on 9/28. [as this season marks the 50th anniversary of the GB-KC inaugural Super Bowl]
