MM on the heat of Jacksonville: did presentation to players. 6 degrees warmer in JAX than it was here all summer so should be trained for it

I looked up the weather almanac on Jax and GB from wunderground.com

McCarthy and his sports science guy are drunk if they believe that.

Yeah, he is nuts. There might be a 6 % difference in relative humidity and that is as close as they get.

[hoosier]

Maybe he meant 6 degrees of separation warmer in Jax than GB.

[pbmax]

Game time in Jax is 89 degrees. Game time in GB is 69 degrees.

There is not an eyeroll emoticon big enough for this one. Watch the dolts behind Clubhouse Live take the yearly series, Why Your Team Sucks, by Drew Magary, seriously and ask William Henderson for comment. Despite being reminded that he writes this column for all teams, they take the vitriol of "an admitted Viking fan" (I wasn't aware that was some kind of crime) seriously.

Magary did alter the Remember Some Former Players section for the Packers, he added that he hated the first three names on the list (including Henderson), then went off on John Madden in the fourth line and called Bill Schroeder a loser in the fifth.

huh, i actually agree with it about fat mike and a-rod probably retiring with only 1 super bowl, and it being a massive disappointment

[hoosier]

Game time in Jax is 89 degrees. Game time in GB is 69 degrees.

Packers just have to put up 28 in the first half. The starters can then stay in the locker room hooked up to their IVs for the duration.

Why hasn't Packer.com updated the Depth Chart? They still got Sitton starting at Left Guard. :soap:

Trap game

[George Cumby]

I don't see this is a trap game. It's pretty clear Jax's arrow is pointing up. I'm more concerned about the M3 slow start to the season.....

[red]

that and our #1 QB not getting much preseason game time with his team mates

and jordy getting his first game time

[Teamcheez1]

How could the arrow not be pointing up? Jax has won a total of 19 games over the last 5 years. A regular juggernaut.

[Harlan Huckleby]

The depth chart will be available on a need-to-know basis.

[texaspackerbacker]

I don't see this as a trap game. I see it as kinda an extension of the preseason where Rodgers and hopefully Nelson get some of the reps in low pressure situations they didn't get up to now.

[ThunderDan]

Week 1 isn't a trap game for any team in the NFL.

Go look now...

[scharpcheddar]

Week 1 isn't a trap game for any team in the NFL.

yes it is. The first two weeks always have teams win or lose that werent supposed to.

and then their season goes opposite of what people expexted.

I wont use this game in any survivor pools

[gbgary]

we always lose hot games in florida. lets hope the jags are wearing black.

Trap game has a specific meaning, and it cannot apply to the first game of the season.

A trap game occurs between two bigger, more high profile matchups. A game that a team could easily overlook because of what came before and what is coming after.

As in to spring a trap, close two sides around an extremity.

[gbgary]

they're wearing white. dang it!

Holy Wildcat, Batman. Dean Lowry is a starter!!! Hey, I loved that guy as a player at Northwestern. Very smart, practically unblockable. I just didn't hear great reports fom camp. Glad to see it.

ZOOK says if Janis is active, he is at gunner.

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 16m16 minutes ago
First up Ron Zook: Didn’t give his opinion on P Jake Steum before waiver claim. That was a Ted Thompson move.

Green Bay Packers ‏@packers 15m15 minutes ago
Ron Zook: Brett (Goode) is a pro. You could tell from first day back he's been working...No issues.

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 15m15 minutes ago
Ron Zook on FGs today: They spend a lot of time together. Jake has been a holder and has good hands and Mason is comfortable with that.

[pbmax]

CAPERS

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 10m10 minutes ago

#Packers DC Dom Capers on Julius Peppers: "Obviously we tried to limit Julius' reps. I like where Julius is to start the season."

Jason Wilde ‏@jasonjwilde 6m6 minutes ago
Capers on your #Packers defensive roster: "It's a young man's game. It's probably become more and more so as we've moved along."

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 5m5 minutes ago
Capers on Martinez starting: All you have to go off of is what he’s done. Boy, he’s done a good job ever since he’s gotten here.

Green Bay Packers ‏@packers 4m4 minutes ago
Capers on Blake Martinez: Done a good job right from very beginning. I think he'll handle it fine. Attention to detail, good communicator.

BENNETT

Beware, Lane Taylor discussion. We are possibly entering late period AJ Hawk damning with faint praise territory.

Green Bay Packers ‏@packers 3m3 minutes ago
Edgar Bennett on Lane Taylor: Mentally-tough, very physical. He had a good training camp. We're confident.

Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 4m4 minutes ago
#Packers OC Edgar Bennett on Lane Taylor: "Definitely mentally tough, very physical and he's had a good training camp."

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 3m3 minutes ago
Edgar Bennett on Lane Taylor: He’s had a good camp. He’s fundamentally sound. He cleaned up a few things. We’re excited to get going.

Green Bay Packers ‏@packers 2m2 minutes ago
Bennett on QB Joe Callahan: It's exciting. We always talk about earning it. You earn the right to be in that room, & that's a great example.

Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 3m3 minutes ago
Edgar Bennett said having too many wide receivers is "a good problem to have." Things will be sorted out as games start to be played.

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 2m2 minutes ago
Edgar Bennett on Pressley: It’s still early for him. He’s learning our system. You see certain things on practice field. More playbook now.

Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 1m1 minute ago
Bennett likes where offense is at. Even with nine passes from Rodgers in preseason, no reps in preseason by Nelson and remade O-line.

CLEMENTS

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 11s12 seconds ago
Tom Clements on Rodgers-Nelson: Good 2 days of practice for whole team. They’re included in that. They look ready to go. They'll be full go.

Green Bay Packers ‏@packers 2m2 minutes ago
Clements on Joe Callahan making 53-man roster: Just goes to show it doesn't matter how you got here, we're looking for guys who can perform.

Green Bay Packers ‏@packers 4m4 minutes ago
Clements: Lane (Taylor) has made improvements each year that he's been here. He's a very solid player. We're very comfortable with him.

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 4m4 minutes ago
Tom Clements on Lane Taylor: He’s made improvements each year. Came out of college more of a run blocker. Developed pass blocking skills.

Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 3m3 minutes ago
Tom Clements labeled Randall Cobb one of the tougher players on the team. Admires the way he played through pain last year. #Packers

[pbmax]

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 31s31 seconds ago
James Campen on Lane Taylor: His growth has been terrific. Very diligent guy. Powerful. His ability to process things, very confident in him

Green Bay Packers ‏@packers 22s22 seconds ago
OL coach James Campen on Lane Taylor: His growth has been terrific. Very, very confident in him.

Campen to Sitton: "Things went pretty quick with this." Was very good player but have moved on.

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 56s57 seconds ago
Campen on OL room: A lot of maturity in that room. You lose a friend or someone moves on, after certain amount of time things get to normal.

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 27s28 seconds ago
Campen on leadership: Comes from very different form. Never been one guy, never has been one guy. Everyone has to be themselves.

Green Bay Packers ‏@packers 34s34 seconds ago
Campen on Sitton release: Wish him the best. Decision was made & it's time to move on...Lot of maturity & a lot of leaders in that room.

Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 5m5 minutes ago

Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 4m4 minutes ago
Campen on Taylor: "You've got to remember he's taken a lot of reps in a backup role. He's had a lot of reps with Dave, lot of reps with JC."

Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 4m4 minutes ago
Campen says chemistry is not an issue. A lot of reps past few years with Bakhtiari, Taylor and Tretter.

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 4m4 minutes ago
Campen on OL chemistry. Lane has taken a lot of reps. We repped them well and they take extra time to make sure they’re up on mental side.

Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 31s32 seconds ago
"This offensive line will be ready to play Jacksonville," Campen says.

Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 25s26 seconds ago
Campen when asked if the week was difficult: "No. No. You have to look at it as an opportunity for others." #Packers

VAN PELT

Green Bay Packers ‏@packers 29m29 minutes ago
QB coach Alex Van Pelt on Rodgers-Nelson chemistry: Exactly what you'd expect. Like riding a bike.

Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 28m28 minutes ago
Van Pelt on Callahan's growth: Footwork is huge. Ball security - two hands on ball.

Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 27m27 minutes ago
Van Pelt's first thoughts on Callahan before draft: with 130 TDs, there's something worth watching on film.

Ryan Wood ‏@ByRyanWood 26m26 minutes ago
Van Pelt on #Packers QB Aaron Rodgers: "He's had a tremendous camp. It's one of the best camps I've seen him have."

Green Bay Packers ‏@packers 26m26 minutes ago
Van Pelt on Aaron Rodgers: He's focused. He's getting into his in-season mode. More intense, more is expected.

GETSY

Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 24m24 minutes ago
Nelson looks like a veteran, not a guy with three weeks of practice, WRs coach Luke Getsy says.

Green Bay Packers ‏@packers 24m24 minutes ago
WR coach Luke Getsy on Jordy Nelson: Excited to see what he does on Sunday. Looks pretty sharp.

Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 21m21 minutes ago
WR coach Luke Getsy said he's excited for what Abbrederis offers from scrimmage and on special teams. Can't worry about injuries, he said.

PROBABLY A BAD LONG TERM STRATEGY THERE COACH

lol yeah,sure,right, what ever?

no, a trap game is when the team everyone thought should win ,doesnt, against a seemingly weaker opponent.
this is that game with no momentum going anywhere at the very beginning of a season.

it doesnt matter what you call it. My point is obviously this is not a gimme even though everyone and their mother perceives it to be.

https://harvardsportsanalysis.wordpress.com/2012/11/22/debunking-the-trap-game-and-letdown-game-myths/


Debunking the Trap Game and Letdown Game Myths

Let me begin with trap games. As Schatz writes, there is no widely-accepted definition of a trap game, only the mushy understanding that sometimes good teams lose to bad teams when they have a “bigger” game against a better opponent the following week. In this narrative, the good team doesn’t take the bad team seriously, and is focused on the good team coming up the following week. For this study, I defined a “trap game” as a game between a team that finished the season above .500 against a team that finished the season below .500 that occurred one game before the above .500 team played another team that finished the season above .500. (From here on, I use the terms “above/below .500” to refer to a team that finished the season above/below .500.) There are many other ways to define a trap game, but I think this one is true to the soft understanding of the term without overly restricting the sample size.....

Gimme? We are only favored by 4.5.

[gbgary]

short-handed (due to suspension), hot weather, first-game-of-season rust, big-expectation pressure...don't know how anyone could call this a gimme. i wouldn't be surprised if we lose this one.

Seriously, how does a team not get ready for opening day in the NFL? It is the week with the most hype of all the weeks until the playoffs.

Who ever said the game was a gimme? I was saying it isn't a trap game. The Pack will be ready and come out firing. That doesn't mean the Jags won't be ready either and could win.

You really can't worry about injuries. You try not to get hurt but you can only do so much. Abby took a few good shots this summer in the preseason and he's still there. :-)

I'm going to be extra careful in this thread. It's a trap thread.

Looking ahead to a more important thread next week are we? Focus, man! Let up for a bananosecond and we'll slip up and be taken down by this seemingly weaker thread. its,not ,the gimme' you think,it is. Just calling it a trap thread projects the hubris of acknowledging that you think next week's thread deserves more attention and respect.

only fools pay attention spreads as if they mean anything.

Considering there is a thriving sports betting industry that depends on spread setting, I disagree.

Also, if you're bored....keep track of results for the next few weeks and cross check against spreads. They are close the majority of the time.

It's not the "end all be all" , but it definitely isn't meaningless.

Listen to me when I tell you one guy who WON'T get hurt this year and will excel at previously unseen levels is Blake Bortles.

That is just what the future is telling me, its not like I have a rooting interest in this.

just like you did freeman in the 3rd or 4th or whenever it was, same deal. loaded up and ready to click on the draft button both times

CUT HIM NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, you can't trust those back injuries. theyre like a cancer that can spread to the rest of the locker room

[Harlan Huckleby]

That's what Vince Lombardi thought about hamstring injuries.

[pbmax]

I knew Sitton's back injury would spread like a cancer.

[red]

is bahk really hurt, or is he sticking it to the team for cutting his buddy by using the same injury that they said they were concerned about with sitton

the conspiracy gets deeper

[Patler]

If Bahktiari struggles with back problems all year, forget the long term deal.
They already are overpaying the perennially injured Bulaga.

[Patler]

is bahk really hurt, or is he sticking it to the team for cutting his buddy by using the same injury that they said they were concerned about with sitton

If that's the case, cut him now.
(I.m not kidding.}

[hoosier]

I didn't realize the NFL has a new reporting criteria for injuries. The "Probable" category no longer exists, and "Questionable" is now the category for anyone considered less than 100% but more than 49% likely to play.

Hopefully it is just a flesh wound.

[Pugger]

On the Packers' website there are photos of the guys landing in Jax and Bak is shown departing the plane.
