    From MM's comments on Lacy, it sounds as if it's possible Eddy's the kind of guy who, when you give him praise, lets up and relaxes too much. Maybe MM realizes he needs to stay on Lacy all the time. MM certainly seems reluctant to dole out much praise to Lacy.
    Agreed. Lacy doesn't appear to have the fire in his belly like Marshawn Lynch had. He seems kind of type B, kind of a really gifted slacker.

    McCarthy might want to go all Lombardi on him once in a while.

    Marshawn Lynch took a few years to get that fire in his belly. He was widely seen as a character risk and a slacker until his famous playoff run against the Saints.

    And he was a traffic menace.


    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Packers release Ryan Williams. Sign North Carolina quarterback Marquise Williams.

    Local report said Williams had a brutal camp day this week.

    Adams insisted this week that he in no way got complacent last year because of Rodgers’ kind words -- or because Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy anointed him the “MVP” of the offseason. He also swore he didn’t crumble under the weight of their high hopes for him.
    If McCarthy called me the MVP of the offseason, I would assume I was getting cut before the next year. I might hold out until he took it back.

    Sounds like there was alcohol involved, but doesn't seem to be too problematic.

    Bach's ankle is still rehabbing.

    http://espn.go.com/blog/nfl/rumors/p...ular-attention

    "It's hard when something like that changes your ankle," Bakhtiari told Wood. "It's obviously going to be a little bit different, but to let me do everything I want to do, it took me the offseason to get it right."

    The three-year starter had five torn ligaments in the ankle at season's end, per Wood, but didn't need offseason surgery. Still, he's spent the past several months rehabbing.
    He is apparently full go at OTAs though, so good?

    The big question for Lacy, as with anyone trying to change lifelong habits, is whether he can make the change permanent.

    In one article he talked about the injury having changed his ankle permanently. He said it will now always require maintenance (whatever that is) and will have to be watched closely and guarded when things don't feel right.

    Interesting from the article, regarding Adam's MCL tear in the playoffs:

    The lone upside to the injury, which turned out to be a torn medial collateral ligament and lingered into the offseason, was that it forced Adams to focus on his upper body during early offseason workouts, since he couldn’t run.

    The result: He appeared visibly thicker in his chest and arms during Tuesday’s practice.

    I'm getting tired of every article where the Packers make a roster move, they mention that John Kuhn would be still be available to sign. Enough!!!!

    Cletidus Hunt and Gilbert Brown are still available for that matter, too. Maybe we should sign Greg Hardy.

    You can tell it is the offseason where there isn't much to talk about.

    Matthews will still be on the move. Curious how this plays into using Perry, who will excel versus the run.

    Capers won’t commit to playing Matthews exclusively outside, but that’s where he’ll start out.

    “We just think that’s his base position,” Capers said. “But that doesn’t mean you might not see him slide and do some other things because we know he can do it and he can handle it mentally. The plans going in are to play him more outside. But as we get into the season, you never say never.”

    Moving Matthews around makes it harder for teams to gameplan to stop him. Perry was quite effective late last year rushing the passer with Matthews inside. Moving Matthews inside just enables Pack to get one more pass rusher on the field.

    The facet of the 2-4 that I hate, is that dunderdummy plays it when the opponent is as likely to run as pass; when they run - we usually get run over and give up huge chunks of yardage on the ground. The opponent will take what you give them - why attempt to pass for 15 yds, when dunderdummy is willing to concede 15 yds on the ground??

    If in that either/or situation, dunderdummy plays two fat guys in the middle (the Jumbo) in an attempt to deal with the run - then he is essentially giving up any hope of generating pressure up the middle, the ends/LBs predictably fly upfield, and the QB gets a comfortable pocket.

    Add to the fact that he sees nothing wrong with abandoning the middle of the field... it's just mind-numbing stupidity and painful to watch.

    Given our personnel, the 3-3 has been the better option for several years now.

    http://www.footballstudyhall.com/201...5-vs-the-3-3-5

    This is an interesting read. I wanted to know what the difference is between the two nickel subs, and this article explains it pretty well. It got me wondering whether the Packers ever run a 3-3-5 formation, as Wist suggests, and if not, why? Is it all about coaching preference, and does that influence how the defensive roster is built? What would it take for the Packers to run the 3-3 vs. the 2-4 nickel?
