[Freak Out]

Nice...thanks Vince.

[Fritz]

Like many fans, I always take a shine to certain players for no apparent reason. One of those players, for me, is Marshall Newhouse. But then again I liked "orange" Junius Coston, too.

[pbmax]

OK, so if Lang has at least temporarily ascended to No.1 LG (both JSO, GBPG and Harv are reporting this), does anyone have a report where he spent his time with the second team? According to a report I heard on the radio (maybe Wilde?) Lang has been moved back to RT to help backup Bulaga since Newhouse struggled.

Anyone else see or hear this?

[mraynrand]

6th Round draft choice Caleb Schlauderaff, who's been lousy at 1 on 1, had his best block of camp and it came against a veteran in C.J. Wilson.

Given the camp Wilson is having, that's not much of a recommendation for Schlauderaff.

[rbaloha1]

IMO Lang should start. Sherrod should back up Cliffy with the goal being the #1 left tackle next season. Newhouse should stay on the left side.

[MadScientist]

Ugh, looks like Clay has a sore hamstring again. Will it ever heal fully?

[Fritz]

What's with that hammy? Geez.

I think Lang is getting reps at RT. Sherrod is getting them at LG, I think. Not sure about LT.

But if he is getting reps there, and Newhouse can only play LT, where does that leave Newhouse?

[MadScientist]

Anyone know if there is video of the big fight at the end of today's practice?

(Water balloon fight that is.)

tom silverstein
Gurley deep again for a long gain. Either Pat Lee got smoked or the safety was late.

tom silverstein
Tory Gurley is destroying House. Just adjusted to an underthrown deep ball for a long gain.

Rob Demovsky
It's Twitter RT @TheIIDeuce: Not writing or saying "injury" is a very odd trend. RT @RobDemovsky: No sign of Finley,who had an ankle at Indy

Rob Demovsky
James Jones has dropped out. Has right knee wrapped

Rob Demovsky
Crosby 6-6 on FGs. Longest was 56,

Rob Demovsky
Yeah he was released this morning RT @Cbeezy34: @RobDemovsky did they let Swain go?

Rob Demovsky
They're at 83 now. Have to be at 80 by Tuesday RT @edog39: @RobDemovsky how many players are on the roster at the moment??

Rob Demovsky
TE Ryan Taylor looked almost as smooth as Finley on a fade from Rodgers for a 4yard TD.

Rob Demovsky
RT @BrettSwain: Just wanted to thank GB and all the fans! Enjoyed every minute of it!! Thanks

Rob Demovsky
Fight between Elmore and Ryan Taylor in a blocking drill. Quickly separated and drill ends early

Rob Demovsky
Just spotted Jennings. He is practing.

Pete Dougherty
Nick Collins also not practicing, injury unknown

Rob Demovsky
Haven't seen him yet. RT @BTGlory: @RobDemovsky Jennings?

Rob Demovsky
No sign of Finley, who had an ankle at Indy

Rob Demovsky
Jordy Nelson not practing. Had a knee injury at Indy.

Rob Demovsky
Josh Gordy is not practing. That's a new one.

Rob Demovsky
Cobb and Smithson are both back and catching punts

Rob Demovsky
Gurley with another blocked punt. That's at least three this camp

[pbmax]

Gordy getting banged up is not going to help, even if Gurley torched House today.

[Joemailman]

TomSilverstein: RT @TyDunne: Looks like Gurkey blocked another punt. That's five for camp I believe .

TomSilverstein: Third down Rodgers finds West deep on the left sideline and it went right thru his hands. Crowd groaned.

TomSilverstein: Rodgers to Gurley deep over Davon House.

TomSilverstein: Tory Gurley is destroying House. Just adjusted to an underthrown deep ball for a long gain.

TomSilverstein: Gurley deep again for a long gain. Either Pat Lee got smoked or the safety was late.

Sounds like Gurley had a great day. He could still push for one of the last spots.

[vince]

Gurley's been coming on for the last few weeks. He has reliable hands, good size and catches it in traffic. I still don't think his ceiling is very high though. He's been blocking some punts in practice, but I don't think he is has a ton of special teams value. I think you take a chance and hope to get him on the PS.

[Harlan Huckleby]

can't have fan clubs for both Gurley & West.

[RashanGary]

5 punt blocks. . . Huh. . .


I really wish we didn't resign Jones.

[Brandon494]

Hes block 5 punts?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Man, those are some long ones. Might be the most impressive kicking stats from practice ever.


Crosby was 6 for 6 in FGs. Hit from 40, 44, 46, 50, 53, 56

[pbmax]

I might finally be able to forget worrying about special teams and get back to worrying about the pass rush.

[RashanGary]

Seems like Crosby is making just about everying in practice this year. Goode is good. Masthay has to be better as a holder.


And punting.... holy shit. Masthay is amazing. Returns. . . . Cobb, Green . . .


Yeah, ST's should be somewhere between good and great this time.

[smuggler]

It's not that much Koolaid, man. The weakest unit was KO coverage, and that was aided greatly by a rule change.

[swede]

can't have fan clubs for both Gurley & West.

Agreed. Hopefully he clears waivers. A better Ruvell Martin.

Boy what would have happened if James Jones was not resigned.
