    Official Training Camp Thread

    Packers have set dates, but not times of 13 practices open to public. August 16 & 17 are joint practices with Patriots.

    Since this is the Summer of Jordan Love, the Great Arm of Butte, ironically, will be donning the 10 Green and Mustard Yellow and hosting a “Love-in” on July 29 at Lambeau Field, starting at 2 PM.

    The Great Arm of Butte - featuring Harrell (guitar), Harlan (drums), Rastak (bass), and the burger flipping loser, Tank Elf Duke (keyboards, lead vocalist) - will be debuting our masterpiece, “A (Jordan) Love Song for Aaron Rodgers.”

    Check out the lyrics:

    Overhead the albatross
    Hangs motionless upon the air
    And deep beneath the rolling waves
    In labyrinths of coral caves
    The echo of a distant time
    Comes willowing across the sand
    And everything is green and [mustard yellow]

    Why the fuck won’t the Packers volunteer for Hard Knocks?

    The Packers appearing on the show would enhance cold, dark and dull Green Bay economically and expose the city to the nation. The team owe it to the city to appear on the show - the city paid for the Lambeau Field renovation.

    They are not eligible until they miss the playoffs 2 years in a row.

    Teams can volunteer for the show, as the Kittens did last season and the Sheepfuckers and Whale Vagina Chargers did two years ago.

    If no team signs up, eligibility then comes into play and NFL can force an eligible team to appear on the show. This season’s eligible teams are: Mobsters of the Midway, Sodom and Gomorrah Sinners and Gotham City Jesters, and Redcoats.

    The Packers should sign up!

    Butte and the Gotham City Jesters (in honor of the downtrodden comedian, Arthur Fleck) will be featured on Hard Knocks.

    I think most teams would prefer to keep the cameras and distractions out of camp. Also keeps what the front office does a secret, although I suspect most are similar.
    It's a young team - if I were MLF, I wouldn't want all that chaos around camp and the players. Media coverage will be crazy enough with JLove replacing Rodgers.

    Jaire would probably be hilarious miked up though.

    Supposedly Reed has agreed to terms, too. Is that all of them, or is Tucker Kraft unsigned? Haven't been paying too much attention.

    All are signed.

    Pup:
    Gary
    Stokes
    Hanson
    Cotton

    NFI:
    DuBose
    McDonald

    https://packerswire.usatoday.com/202...p-on-pup-list/
    DuBose missed all of the OTA's so he's way behind. I'm guessing if he heals, he's practice squad at best. If he doesn't heal by the end of camp, he's gone with no settlement since its a non-football injury.
    Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!

    Yes, DuBose has a lot of catching up to do, so it's a good guess that he might end up on the practice squad this year. If he can show some special teams talent, he might make the roster by the end of the year, given injuries and all.

    I'm glad the Packers are careful with injuries - what's the point in hurrying Gary or Stokes back? I do feel badly for the young guys like Cotton, not even drafted and only a slim shot anyway, and then he's hurt. Even if say a fifth round pick gets hurt, he's likely to get more consideration and rope than an undrafted guy. They probably fight like hell to get on the field, no matter how hurt they are.

    Jake Hanson passed his physical and has been activated from the PUP.

    At least there is some positive news on the injury front, before the inevitable when practices start.

    Jake Hanson being out for the year would have been better injury news.

    Who wins the starting RT spot?
    Who are the backup OL?

    Does Grant Dubose make the roster, or does Malik Heath take his spot?
    Have the Year 2 WRs made a jump? Can they beat press man coverage?

    Who makes the roster at safety?

    Can the DL improve after giving up 5 ypc against the run?

    Anders Carlson has a strong leg, but can he kick a FG with accuracy?

    With such a young roster, how much does MLF play his starters in the preseason?

    I'm hoping Yosh and Runyan show enough that they can keep Tom as the backup at all positions.

    I'm hoping Sean Rhyan can break the 3rd round pick jinx. If the 2nd year OL guys (Tom, Jones, Rhyan, Walker) can progress, Packers will have excellent depth on the OL

    Packers working out another QB:
    https://packerswire.usatoday.com/202...b-jacob-eason/

    I know there some due diligence going on here, but with signing Mr. McGough and now working out another, I have to think the Packers aren't satisfied with their backup QB position.

    Seriously, NO COWBELL!! Come on coach, put me in.
