In converse, you could say Bradford doesn't have the necessary length to play OLB in a 3-4. 6'1" is decent size for a 3-4 ILB but short for a 3-4 OLB. It was a small sample size, but his 8 snaps vs. Tennessee were not good. He got no pressure in 1v1 situations. I've also read that he's struggled in pass rush drills. I think his best attributes are similar to what Bishop brought to the table.
    The 40 is so overrated. Bishop was about .5 seconds faster diagnosing things than most ILB, so his effective 40 time was 4.31...dude flew.

    Not so fast. I don't think Bishop could diagnose anything. He just saw a gap and shot it. It didn't matter if that was his assignment or that was where the play was going. I don't know how many times he shot the wrong gap and let the other team gash a 20+ yard run.

    It wasn't until his last season or two that he slowed down and actually played his assignment and then the Packers could afford to put him in for extended periods.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    Sorry, I said Thomas is back. I was looking at Barrington. I need to clean my glasses.

    OK, SO HE IS NOT BACK

    Tyler Dunne ‏@TyDunne 1h
    Look out, Bryan Bulaga just drive Doughty into the dirt during half line. Next play, does the same to Hubbard.

    SOUNDS LIKE THE MOUNTAIN'S WORKOUT REGIME

    Tyler Dunne ‏@TyDunne 1h
    And Jake Stoneburner has his say. Might've been his best block of camp, pancakes his man.

    NOW IF THE TISSUE GRAFTS FROM JACKIE HARRIS' HANDS TAKE ...

    Tyler Dunne ‏@TyDunne 1h
    Richard Rodgers solid again this drill. Really controlled Bradford to clear one lane.

    IF THE TITANS GAME WAS ANY INDICATION, THIS TEST WAS RIGGED

    Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 1h
    Rodgers is playing QB for the scout team. Makes me wonder how much he's going to play vs. St. Louis.

    BUT BOYKIN, ADAMS AND RRODGERS WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT AN NFL PASS LOOKS LIKE DURING A GAME TOM

    Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 1h
    Run drill taking place is as physical as anything they've done this camp. Lots of pads smacking.

    ONE INJURY AND I BET TED CANCELS IT

    Tyler Dunne ‏@TyDunne 1h
    Corey Linsley having his moments, too. Gets underneath Pennel, coach all over Pennel for getting too high.

    PENNEL! ARE YOU HIGH? HE IS FROM OHIO STATE, JUST TELL HIM YOUR FROM THE SEC AND HE'LL FOLD!

    Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 1h
    Fight came after Lacy gashed the defense for a sizable gain.

    ARE LACY AND RODGERS ON THE SCOUT TEAM? I THINK TOM IS CONFUSED OR THE DRILL CHANGED. I HOPE.

    Tyler Dunne ‏@TyDunne 1h
    That was no boys-will-be-boys scuffle there. Lattimore and Sitton get into it, entire O and D jump in.

    YES CERTAINLY. WE AWAIT THE POLICE REPOT ON CASUALTIES.

    Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 1h
    Now Winston Moss and James Campen up in each other's face screaming.

    WHERE IS RED TO TELL US THE COACHES CAN'T LIGHT A FIRE UNDER SOMEONE (THEMSELVES)?

    Tyler Dunne ‏@TyDunne 1h
    Easily the best fight of camp. For a guy who hardly talks off the field, Lattimore loves talking on it. Must've got under Sitton's skin.

    Pete Dougherty ‏@PeteDougherty 1h
    Wildest drill of camp ends, half-line run drill. Huge fight O vs D in big pile, Campen n Moss jawing, A Rodgers n Sirton barking at D

    BACKUP LB AND THE STARTING QB. YAWN. LET ME KNOW IF MATTHEWS OR PEPPERS TEES OFF ON LANG OR SITTON.

    Tyler Dunne ‏@TyDunne 1h
    Even Derek Sherrod joined the fun. He was central to that last mosh pit.

    NOT A GOOD RISK MANAGEMENT DECISION.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Janis working on KORs with DuJuan Harris, Micah Hyde and LaDRius Perkins.

    IS JANIS BILLY SCHROEDER REINCARNATED? ALSO, NOTE NEW NICKNAME SILVERSTEIN GAVE TO DOC PERKINS WITH THE CAPS

    Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 1h
    Rodgers with a quick hitter over the middle to Bostick, who has picked up his game the last week.

    I GET A DEFINITE TYRONE DAVIS VIBE FROM BOSTICK

    Jason Wilde ‏@jasonjwilde 1h
    This 11-on-11 period included Rodgers going downfield to Nelson, just missing Boykin deep and Adams catching a crossing route from 12.

    KEY TO STAYING HEALTHY: ONLY WORK WITH RODGERS

    Tyler Dunne ‏@TyDunne 1h
    Sean Richardson with a nice read on Tolzien. Steps in front of Gillett for an interception he would've taken back for a touchdown.

    KEY TO MAKING TEAM ON DEFENSE, ALWAYS JUMP IN FOR #2 QB REPS

    Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 1h
    Tolzien and Gillett totally screwed up on in route. Sean Richardson picks off errant throw. I believe that's his third pick of camp.

    THEY DON'T ASK HOW, THEY ASK HOW MANY

    Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 1h
    Janis and Antonio Dennard go after it after getting locked up on a block. Janis wrestles Dennard down.

    JANIS JANIS JANIS!!

    Burnett has a chance for a pick laying out for ball by Flynn but can't haul it in. They need him to make that special kind of play.

    I WILL SETTLE FOR HIM TO JUST MAKE THE REGULAR PLAYS AND TAKE IT FROM THERE

    Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 1h
    Rettig with a nice shot to TE Justin Perillo, who has caught everything today.

    HE IS MAD HE ISN'T IN THE POLL

    Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 1h
    S Ryan White,who played well against Tennessee, has dropped out with an ankle or injury. Has his shoe off and ice bag near ankle.

    Tyler Dunne ‏@TyDunne 1h
    Jumal Rolle on a nice roll of late. With the scout team vs No. 1 offense, he breaks up a Rodgers pass to Cobb.

    I BELIEVE ITS PRONOUNCED ROLLÉ

    OLB Adrian Hubbard says "Welcome To Paradise" to Scott Tolzien with an INT as @GreenDay blares. #PackersPlaylist

    MIGHT WANT TO HOLD OFF ON CELEBRATORY BANDWAGON FOR TOLZIEN

    Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 1h
    Mulumba with a nice rush on Adams. Would have been a sack in normal circumstances.

    MIGHT BE FIRST MENTION OF MULUMBA ALL CAMP NOT PRECEDED BY "QUIET"

    Tyler Dunne ‏@TyDunne 1h
    Another scuffle, lost track of count. This one features Jarrett Bush and T.J. Lang. Two vets going at it.

    MY MONEY IS ON BUSH

    Tyler Dunne ‏@TyDunne 1h
    Matt Flynn hits Jake Stoneburner off play action for a touchdown in the back of the end zone.

    TE PROBLEM SOLVED

    Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 1h
    Flynn to Stone Irene for short TD. Haven't seen the latter's name much here.

    Jason Wilde ‏@jasonjwilde 1h
    #Tramontana RT @TomSilverstein: Flynn to Stone Irene for short TD. Haven't seen the latter's name much here.

    YOU READ IT HERE FIRST. LIKE TRAMONTANA, STONE IRENE IS NOW STONEBURNER'S NICKNAME FROM SPOON

    MM on why Brad Jones didn't practice: had dental procedure.

    NEW GRILLE

    I'm thinking the fight lasts about 30 minutes for Bush to win.

    Don't think Tweet on FGs went through. Crosby was 4 of 6. Missed 42 and 53. Hit from 33, 44, 46 and. 54. I believe he's 41 of 45 so far.

    I disagree. Bishop blew 2 assignments, and MM couldn't get past it. I just watched Peppers blow one assignment in 10 plays. Think he rides the pine for 2 years? And yes, I am convinced his assignment wasn't to push upfield to the point he couldn't effectively contain. Pushing so far upfield that the RB has a monster lane to run through is not called keeping containment even if he technically ran inside of you.

    Normally there is a responsibility to stay parallel to the LOS (or as Banaczyk said in the Press Gazette, not to turn away from the sideline). He also has to squeeze a gap with the guy next to him. Whether it was Daniels or Jones, he was moving away from both but wasn't tracking the RB at the time.

    So you're agreeing with me right?

    Yes. Whether he could have made the play with Daniels crashing inside AND Jones inside is debatable. But going upfield and turning in made no sense.

    Yeah I'm betting MM was going on more than just those 2 assignments.

    And the weight MM placed on those 3 snaps were mostly likely nothing relative to the hours of time he evaluated him in practice each day.
