I'd hate to see Stoneburner cut because of numbers or whatever, then resurface as a decent TE with some other team. I have at least as much hope for him as I do for Bostick.Quote:

He might as just tell the opponent WHICH leg!Quote:

IMHO, Bostick is a lot better than Stoneburner.Quote:

I think he played too well his rookie year for it to be a fluke, so what's going on?
Hayward is still getting his legs back together.Quote:

He's an excellent cover guy in zone.
In nickel and dime they have been playing him at corner and having Tramon cover the slot.
That's getting to be the defensive convention around the league.
Have your best guy take the slant and cover the rest of the WR's in zone.
Wistian paranoia aside, I think Capers is lashing together an effective D this season.
Lyerla is out for the season, right? I read torn MCL and PCL from the family night hurdling episode.
I don't think anything has been made official yet. Can't imagine he'll play this year. They can't PUP him and I can't see them using a roster spot to keep him. Best thing to do, if they feel he has potential, is IR him.Quote:

Looks like Hayward is being held out. May be an injury.

TT on the 2013 draft class (with 5 starters): It's good. We don't separate players by years. Love the 30-years-olds as much as 20-year-olds.
TT: I was often times playing in the 2nd half of preseason games, competition level drops, even I made a few plays. Have to weigh it out.

At the start of #Packers practice Carl Bradford and Jayrone Elliott are working with the regular defense. Typically they're inside w/scout D
On the flip side of Bradford/Elliott, WR Myles White is with the scout offense while the main group is inside.
Rajion Neal and Joe Thomas still out. #Packers
With Bostick out, Jake Stoneburner continues to get more work with the starters. Caught the first pass from Rodgers in team.
So far in this period, Rodgers has taken the first three reps then Flynn took one. Three more for Rodgers then one for Tolzien.
Julius Peppers just destroyed FB Ina Liaina and dumped RB Michael Hill in the half-line drill.
Jayrone Elliott is at right tackle with the No. 1 punt team. That's usually Bostick or Ryan Taylor.
I'm starting to wonder if Ryan Taylor's roster spot isn't as safe as I thoughtPackersld be. #Packers
Ryan Taylor is in his regular spot with the No. 1 kickoff return team. Barrington in on it now for Palmer.
QB reps in the last team period, in order; Rodgers (4), Flynn (3), Tolzien (3). #Packers
Rough red zone period for the offense. Rodgers missed Nelson and then Boykin had a rocket from Rodgers go right through the wickets.
Sack for Mike Neal, who beat Aaron Adams off the edge and for Flynn.
Janis. Hyde, Williams and Cobb catching punts. Tramon mishandled one of them.
FG period for Crosby: 33: Good 38: Good 42: Good 44: WR 46: Good 53: Good
I remember when the "move the ball" period actually meant it. A 20-yard completion from Flynn to Adams on 2nd-and-6. Next play 3rd-and-8.
Burnett and HHCD are the safeties in this defensive period. Hyde was with Burnett earlier in practice.
Hyde and Richardson are the No. 2 safety pairing.
If there was a starting lineup change with HHCD, they likely would've started practice that way. Must be a rotational thing.
McCarthy gave his infamous answer of "Being Smart with Hayward."Quote:

I was at practice today. Defense was on the field about 20 minutes before the offense came out. They're spending a lot of time in Hutson Center working on crowd noise. Not a great day for the receivers really. Best action was in the running game segments. At one point you could here Peppers yelling at the LT "You know what's coming!" Stoneburner getting a lot more playing time with Bostick out. Seeing Bradford standing next to Matthews is startling. Hard to believe they play the same position. Guion did not practice was on the field practicing accelerating out of 3 point stance.
Don't be surprised if Lyerla gets claimed by the Patriots.
Why can't they IR him now?Quote:

OK, let's get this straight once and for all: Jets added WR Shaq Evans to injured reserve, not waived/injured. Apologies for confusion.
was a fourth round pick and they sent him right to IR. It can be used the other way too. The TE the Giants lost to NE was waived in order to vacate his contract.
