Packers Training Camp

Video:

If you haven't been watching these they're very well done.  Larry McCarren does what he does best and gives a brief look into camp. Too bad the Video player on the Packers site is still a pile of dog ****.

Sweet. NFLN just indicated it will be carrying the GB-Steelers game next Sunday live.

Myles Whites ceiling is a lot lower than Janis.

 

They kept Janis on the 53 all year long last season.

 

There is a reason they needed to do that

No question. White needs a near perfect camp to beat Janis. Dropping 2 balls in the first preseason game ain't exactly "near perfect".

FTFY. 

Not so sure that's a good thang.  That fkin score box with the advertisement side panel was just fkin annoying.  Why did they not just locate the damn thing in the middle of the screen?  Fk NFL network.  I hate them!

Janis > White.  Period.

 

I love Abby but he's glass.  Too bad.

 

Abby to the PS (cause I am a homer and a dreamer )and White, well...

I'm nearly certain they're just rebroadcasting local feeds.  They don't have anything to do with it, but I agree it's annoying as all get out.  The eagles game today had a big box with #flyeaglesfly.  Yech! 

White will replace White in Chitcago. 

Interesting thing is that when I streamed the feed, I didn't have any funky side boxes.

 

Maybe streaming NFL network is the better way to go... until it switches to Duhla$$ that is...

Thanks for the clarification Tit...and I am sure you are right.  Still, I reserve the rights to keep hating the NFL network.  They suck. 

Ummmm, appears to be a simple change in starting time to me.

Question: Who thinks Khyri Thornton is going to make this team?

 

Sorry if this was posted a few days ago

 

Maybe I missed it, but he's been average to below average from what I've seen

Thornton is toast.

They need to keep him on the roster unless/until Datone and Guion's suspensions pass.

I hope they switch feeds at halftime, unlike the last game.  Didn't they do that last year?  I swear the constant referrals to "Jimmy G" made me want to puke.

I agree that Thornton is out. No way he makes this roster. Bad, bad pick.

 

Yes, he will make it onto the 53 until Guion is back. Then they will stash him on the practice squad. The big guys can take as long as 3 years to get it.

Might play out like that Goalline. He's eligible for PS this year...

If he sees the PS, it will be a temporary stop before donning purple...

You don't expose a good draft pick to the waiver wire. Thornton to the PS will be an admission by TT that he wasn't one. 

For the next 2 years, actually.

Perhaps. We will see what he does in the league next year, either here or elsewhere. Remember, the Vikings #1 WR was a TT "mistake". He was beaten out by good players. That's a good thing. That didn't make him a bad pick. Competition is good.

awesome post Goalline

 

 

MM pre-practice press discussion:

MM on Bakhtiari knee: going through treatment program, probably take couple days. Knee's been bothering him.

— Pete Dougherty (@PeteDougherty) August 17, 2015

MM on Barclay at LT: good for donny. Have other options but have to look at where we are, 2nd preseason game, want guys to increase value

— Pete Dougherty (@PeteDougherty) August 17, 2015

MM on Abbrederis' challenge with injuries: he's very good football player. Comes easy to him, he's natural, instinctive.Injuries unfortunate

— Pete Dougherty (@PeteDougherty) August 17, 2015

McCarthy on Mike Pennel: I think he's in the middle of making that jump...Did some really good things in New England. #PackersCamp

Jeez us that's why Bakh seemed so slow protecting the edge.

Makes sense now

He was also a seventh round pick. Pretty different calculation when it's a third rounder.

This the game with players where you have to gamble. Thornton was thought to be a mid-round pick when he was drafted, so someone is probably going to take a hard look at him if he slides to the PS. Even though GB hasn't gotten much, someone else will look at him and be convinced they can be the one to turn him in to a stud. Really Thornton sliding the PS is unrealistic because I don't think he would make it through waivers if he's healthy.

On the flip side, a guy like Bruce Gaston was a UDFA for a reason. Some teams may have really wanted him, but he was probably one of many UDFA/developmental players they were interested in, someone of which they probably got instead. Unless a guy like Gaston tears it up in the preseason, he's probably not at risk for getting plucked off the PS. So when it comes down to the 6th or 7th DL and its Gaston vs Thornton, if you think there is ANY chance Thornton can develop then you keep him over Gaston.

Barclay at LT?  Holy jeebus.  Even if it is just for evaluation.

Not likely, their D-Line is the part of that team most likely to suck less than the rest, probably the best one in the division. 

Casey Hayward out today. He's going to have trouble winning the job opposite Shields if he can't stay on the field.

Jarious Wynn from the Bills just suffered a season ending injury in a torn ACL. The former Packer was considered a "key starting DL" and a "devastating loss" for a good Bills D.

 

Think about that. He was average at best in GB but he's another in a long line of examples of DL that are too far and too few in between that even ho-hum players like him were finding starting jobs and considered key in that D.

 

Thorton has basically sucked since getting here but would it surprise me if he got multiple looks from other teams if cut? Nope.

Damarious Randall is back in pads

The Packers plucked Gaston off a practice squad.

#Packers INJ report Out: Coxson Blue Glover-Wright Hayward * Goodson Sebetic Perry Bakhtiari Daniels Perillo Abbrederis Guion Gaston * - new

— Jason Wilde (@jasonjwilde) August 17, 2015

13 #Packers still out. Only change from last practice is Hayward is out and Randall has returned.

Add to the fact that big uglies up front are difficult to find.  Wow, Jurius Wynn critical to BUF DL?  Amazing.  BUF's got a good DL too.

Why? Was Gilbert Brown a bad pick, because he looked so bad early that he got cut?

Mason Crosby field goals 33: Good 37: Good 43: Good 46: Good 48: Good 51: Good That's 28 straight makes for Crosby in practice and preseason

— Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) August 17, 2015

Worth noting. Crosby hasn't missed a FG in camp/games this preseason with Masthay holding.

Yeah, in the offseason, you might say he attended Justin TYRELL Harrel's NFL camp. 

 

Justin taught him how to have the kind of "explosion" that only shows up in Wausau Herald articles. 

 

In other words, it's there if you want to look for it. But it's only found in Wausau.
