I just heard on ESPN Radio (John Clayton reporting) that JC Tretter has a significant knee injury and will be out a while. Not sure what that means, but paging Corey Linsley. Curious to know if Garth (don't call me Toby) Gerhart was taking any reps at Center in practice.
Also, any news on Brad Jones injury?

McCarthy not worried "today" for Brad Jones' availability vs. Seattle.

With Tretter out, Linsley has gotten the first rep at center. But #Packers also have had Sitton at center and Lane Taylor at left guard.
I almost wonder if this is a typo or if it was Sitton not Lang getting reps.

MM:
Hard to say, but last year when EDS had to come out of a couple games, Lang played Center.On Lang/Sitton at guard... You have to always train three centers. That will never change. Since 2006, the guards have always been trained at center. You do so much shotgun. Playing in the stadium we'll be playing in Week 1; communication that goes on, guards a big part of that.

McCarthy: I thought Derek (Sherrod) got better. He took another step. I like the way he graded out. Some of our young guys improved.

McCarthy: Letroy Guion is getting better. He's getting close.

McCarthy says Raji is not a candidate for IR with the designation to return. Will have surgery soon, he says. #Packers

Guards always trained to play center, MM said. Both took reps at practice.

I wonder what the rotation will be at ILB without Brad Jones - obviously Lattimore and Barrington with Hawk, but beyond that, do we finally see Bradford there? Or a lot more of Hubbard (I think he played ILB last week), maybe the wet dream of us posters, Sean Richardson playing there?
Barrington, as he was in the previous two games, looks to be the #1 sub. Lattimore after him.
If an OLB moves, he will go to the end of the end of the depth chart. Offseason prep is 80% over.
Richardson isn't going to see ILB this year unless a boulder falls on the first string defense in its entirety.

I'm not so sure that Barrington has moved ahead of Lattimore. I read somewhere that seemed to indicate Lattimore would be the top backup. I think Lattimore rebounded with a better game. He can cover. I think he was a little lax in the first two games, and I criticized him for it. I would think Lattimore would be the guy to replace Jones and Barrington would be the guy to replace Hawk.

Then they are trying to up Barrington's profile because he has gone in first in both the last two games. Could be to get tape against better players, but usually that means they want to see how he projects.
But as we have seen before, the Packers do stick with known commodities at times when there is not a clear winner.

Are you sure because it seems to me that they come in at the same time. JSO indicated today that Lattimore is the first option in base and Barrington in dime. Perhaps with Jones out, the first play was dime, so Barrington would come in first. You would think Lattimore would be better in coverage, but he's had his problems this preseason.

Its possible, though I am certain Barrngton went in first when BJones went out versus the Raiders, unless Lattimore went in for a snap or two and then came out for some reason. It could have been nickel, but cannot have been dime because both he and Hawk were out there.
In Rams game, I might have missed some Lattimore snaps, my memory is not as specific about when the subs went in.

I have not seen Dunne refer to the Packer and Caper Defense in this way. I wonder if this is Guion's terminology for it. We might be overestimating the penetrating part of the change. Might simply be more consistent one gap.The Packers' 3-4 is more of a "flat" scheme but Guion believes his "attack-and-react" style will translate to nose tackle.

I wonder if the players the Packers cut now either are 1) not eligible for the practice squad based on service time (Harper) or 2) the team's indication that these players were not candidates for the practice squad.
"Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." -Daniel Patrick Moynihan
Actually, I think Harper is eligible under the new rules.
I read an article this week that said many teams use the first cut for players they would like on their PS. Few teams want to mess with waiver claims now with the next cutdown next weekend.
Harper should be PS eligible. (edit: the Urinal scented is saying he is http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/272495891.html)
He'll have an accrued season towards FA, but he has to be on the game day roster 9 times for it to count wrt practice squad for it to affect his eligibility. Even if he was (I doubt it but didn't check) the new rules allow there to be up to two players who do have an accrued season on the PS.
I'm not sure he's in the conversation though. He didn't even make it past the first cuts, in the past the TT seems to sign a couple of bubble players to the PS, and brings in a couple late cuts from other teams.

Imagine for a moment a world without hypothetical situations...
A lot of people do not really understand the rules with respect to preseason injured reserve. That isn't limited to the amateurs.
Maybe its only preventative.

Here's Linsley. Has some type of brace around his arm.

#Packers DNPs:
R.Neal
Goodson
Thomas
B.Jones
Barclay
Tiller
Tretter
Abbrederis
Bostick
Raji
Twitter highlights:
-Guion practiced in full, including some half line drill.
-Sitton was at center, including half line drill as one of the backups (not sure about Lang)
-Lattimore was in red zone D with #1, but it was an odd mix. According to Twitter, neither Shields nor Tramontana were out there, it was all safeties including Bush.
-Just to confuse the issue, both Bradford and Palmer got snaps at ILB.

Hello, Letroy Guion. Blows up the O-Line in half line (the back-ups) to take down Perkins for a 5-yard loss. The guy is fresh.

I know it doesn't mean shit but this is still good to hear. I didn't want to need Guion this season. He's pretty stout for his size but he's also incredibly slow for his size. My expectations aren't high.Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 1h
