Hoping to go to practice this weekend.

Most of the emphasis in training camp is going to be on the passing game, both from an offensive and defensive perspective.

Will King look like he can start as a rookie?

Will Randall and Rollins look like they've recovered from their disastrous 2016 seasons?

Can Josh Jones be the nickel or dime ILB?

Will there be a pass rush from anyone other than Matthews and Perry?

Who will emerge at WR behind Jordy, Adams and Cobb?

How quickly will the new TE's be integrated into the offense?

I am on record as saying I didn't think Gunter would get faster in the offseason. I don't think anyone disagreed.

In fairness, getting tested by Rodgers to Adams is about as tough as it gets for a db. If he gets smoked by Hundley to Yancey then say hello to Randall.

Rookie report: The Packers are easing top pick Kevin King into things. After he missed most of the offseason program because his school (Washington) was still in session, the second-round cornerback worked mostly with the No. 2 defense on Day 1. "Mentally, I know Kevin's ready go," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. It may not be long before King moves his way in with the starters but for now, Davon House and LaDarius Gunter took the first-team reps.

Rob Demovsky
ESPN Staff Writer

Best play of Packers' camp Day 1: The Aaron Rodgers to Davante Adams connection that took off last season was on display early. Rodgers delivered a perfect deep ball to Adams, who had beaten cornerback LaDarius Gunter on a go route. Adams barely had to outstretch for the ball that he caught in stride for a 60-yard touchdown. Gunter's biggest weakness is speed, and it showed when he let Adams beat get behind him..

[Fritz]

Gunter's not soft; he's just slow. So half the Packers' problems are solved!

Packer Report‏ @PackerReport
Looks like five not practicing. Waters, Goodson, Biegel, Peck and M Adams.

[Smidgeon]

I miss the days when there was a written recap of practice with highlights, standouts, and poor performances. Now it's reporters tweeting with no summary and either a discussion on a podcast or a video. I am rarely where I can watch something. Why is written reporting a low priority? I understand why they're adding video/etc, but I don't understand why it's a replacement tactic.

I'm not that old, but I feel like I'm getting there.

[texaspackerbacker]

Gunter has the best pre-snap and solid mechanics, but the boy can't run the field.

I disagree. Gunter is a natural at covering moves/patterns like what you find on the outside - even though he sadly lacks speed. I don't think he has shown the quickness, though, to jump a slant route or other quick patterns you'll see in the slot. Randall seems to get lost on moves and patterns, but he definitely has the quickness and athleticism to stop the quick hit stuff.

Seems very true. Scout.com, PackersNews (GBPG) and JSO have practice recaps but they are video.

Madison.com (WiSJ) just has features on the story of the day.

A bunch of media companies have been making a big transition to video, because it translates well to mobile devices AND forces users to watch the ads. There will be a lot less written content on the web from big media companies for a few years.

The problem is that most of them, including virtually all at packers news.com, are terrible at video. The practice report with Nagler and the beat writer of the day looks like it was filmed by a cell phone, written by a monkey and edited by a ghost.

Packers Practice Day 3: Padded

Tom Silverstein‏ @TomSilverstein 5h5 hours ago
Trevor Davis muffs first punt return try. I guess I put the whammy on him with story this morning.

On four punts with no wind, Justin Vogel averages 50.7 per. Three of the punts had hang time of 4.6 or better. Other was 3.7. Pretty good.

Some great catches in one on ones with CBs and WRs. Davante Adams smokes Gunter and then out fights Kevin King for position deep.

S Josh Jones very active in run game. Shot through line for tackle in backfield with ball at the 4 on last play of team drill.

WR Trevor Davis not helping cause with drop in the end zone.

K Mason Crosby makes 6 of 7 FGs with P Justin Vogel holding. Some weren't pretty. Could be unfamiliarity with Vogel.

Trevor Davis down after hitting ground hard trying to make catch.

Davis on his feet and walking off after spending awhile on the ground.

CB Quinten Rollllins has owned Randall Cobb today. Hasnt given him an inch all day. Just picked off Rodgers in EZ on another throw to Cobb.

I LIKE ROLLINS BUT THERE ISN'T A MORE DEPRESSING SENTENCE YOU COULD WRITE ABOUT A WR AFTER LAST YEAR'S DB PERFORMANCE

Josh Jones in pads doesn’t disappoint

The hype train keeps chugging along for rookie safety Josh Jones, who had another good showing in the first padded practice of the year. Jones flew all over the field and was always around the ball wherever it went. He made a tackle in the backfield untouched for a tackle and a safety blitz on one play that could have resulted in a sack.

His physicality was on display as he put a good hit on fellow rookie Malachi Dupre. Veteran tight end Richard Rodgers didn’t appreciate the hit and got into Jones’s face. The scuffle was quickly broken up by players.


Other Notes and Observations

– Quinten Rollins made an impressive diving interception in the end zone off Aaron Rodgers near the end of practice, while safety Marwin Evans also had an interception off Joe Callahan.

– Kevin King and Davon House were once again the starting cornerbacks on the outside with Rollins in the slot. In his press conference before practice, head coach Mike McCarthy said to not pay attention to the rotation of defensive backs, but there was not much mixing and matching with the first team defense.

– Jayrone Elliott started 2-0 in 1-on-1 drills against the offensive line, while Kyler Fackrell was 0-2 according to Ryan Wood of PackersNews.Com

– Kicker Mason Crosby and rookie punter Justin Vogel both had solid practices on Saturday. Crosby went 6-for-7, hitting the post on a 42-yard field goal attempt, while his longest made was from 48 yards. Vogel had three good punts with one bad one, averaging 50.75 yards with a 4.51 average hang time according to Wood.

– Rookie defensive lineman Montravius Adams did not practice today with no injury reported yet.

[pbmax]

I read that some of Crosby's kicks were not solid. Speculation that he and Vogel are still getting on same page.

[KYPack]

Well, I double dirty dog disagree. You want the slow guy covering the wide corner spot? I sure as hell don't. Gunter needs deep help & you'll skew your coverage trying to help him wide. I agree he may have trouble covering the quick slants, but he sure as hell can't cover flys. I think he's a nickel or dime guy. Well, Whitt and Perry will have to hash this one out.

hahahahaha They're gonna do what they're gonna do regardless of what we think. I think maybe Gunter's slowness is overrated, though. He covered a lot of #1 receivers last year and only got beat a few times. Randall, on the other hand, played himself out of a job - although he might have been playing hurt. I still think you put your athletic but less instinctive guy (Rollins, maybe with Randall backing him up) on the inside and your guy with a knack for covering on the outside. Also, it seems like some teams are putting better receivers in the slot at times to take advantage of the matchup.

[mraynrand]

Gunter got beat once or twice last year? What the hell are you smoking? He got beat like a rug from a cat lady's house before the estate sale.

I LIKE ROLLINS BUT THERE ISN'T A MORE DEPRESSING SENTENCE YOU COULD WRITE ABOUT A WR AFTER LAST YEAR'S DB PERFORMANCE

On the other hand, it could be a sign that Rollins has returned to his 2015 form when he allowed a passer rating of 54.9, 4th best in the NFL.

I agree though that Cobb's ability to get open, other than in scramble mode, is an issue.

[KYPack]

He's super slow, oh Texas one. You can't take an eraser and get rid of his 4.69 and 4.73 forty times. He runs hard, but too long in the same place. His "game speed" seems faster than his track times indicate, but he needs to be put in spots where he can use his quickness and cover skills (which are pretty good).

In the game as it's played now, you need a whole herd of D backs. That's Gunter, a good hand that will be used in the mix, but not a starting, 3 down CB.

[Joemailman]

From Saturday's practice:

Rob Demovsky
ESPN Staff Writer

Overheard: "Pick it up, defense. Let's go." That was Mike McCarthy's message halfway through a practice that to that point had been dominated by the offense. McCarthy was particularly incensed that a screen pass to Aaron Ripkowski went for a long gain.

Rob Demovsky
ESPN Staff Writer

Rookie report: The first padded practice of camp was supposed to give DT Montravius Adams the chance to show whether he's strong enough to handle the NFL game in the trenches, but the third-round pick never put the pads on because of a foot injury. Adams watched practice from the sideline. The severity of his injury was not revealed. There's no practice on Sunday so the next chance to see if Adams will practice comes Monday morning.

Rob Demovsky
ESPN Staff Writer

Best play of Packers' camp, Day 3: Quinten Rollins has put himself squarely in the competition for one of the top-three cornerback jobs and perhaps has an early lead on Damarious Randall for the nickel spot thanks to plays like the diving interception he made in the end zone on Saturday. He picked off a Rodgers' pass that was intended for Randall Cobb, who broke to the outside while Rodgers threw inside.

Joe did Michael Clark do anything noteworthy today?

This was from Saturday I think...

Clark, a 6-6 undrafted free-agent-agent from Marshall, made a leaping catch over Josh Hawkins that caught fans attention.

He's raw but attacks the ball in the air. Can't teach 6'6" can jump and that catch radius...

I don't recall any plays that stood out. But he sure is noticeable out there. Impressive looking athlete. Played only 1 year of college football, so a real project. Might be worth a PS spot if he's willing to work. Might still have a basketball body at this point and need to bulk up.


Clark (6’6/217) played only one season at Marshall after transferring from St. Francis (PA), where he earned a scholarship to play basketball. Clark compiled a 37-632-5 (17.1 YPR) receiving line in 2016, then surprisingly turned pro. Not invited to the Combine, Clark ran 4.53 at the Thundering Herd Pro Day, but struggled in the vertical (33") and three-cone drill (7.54). While Clark’s height and multi-sport background make him somewhat intriguing, he has minimal football experience and struggled with drops and separation on tape. He’s a long-shot prospect perhaps worth stashing on the practice squad.

Green Bay Packers rookie defensive lineman Montravius Adams had successful surgery on his injured foot, coach Mike McCarthy confirmed on Tuesday morning.

McCarthy stuck to the same vague timeline he outlined on Monday, saying Adams is expected to be out “multiple weeks.”

UPDATE: Ian Rapoport of NFL Network says Adams is expected to be out six weeks, although the team hopes he returns sooner.

Screw inserted. Out about 6 weeks or so. Hope is a few less
Rapoport reported on Monday that Adams needed a screw inserted to fix a stress fracture in his foot.

Adams first suffered the injury during Friday’s practice. He sat out padded practices on Saturday and Monday.

Teammates were disappointed for Adams, who was enjoying a strong start to camp.

“Just the first two days of practice, his explosiveness, how he gets upfield, he looked real good,” second-year defensive lineman Kenny Clark said, according to Tom Silverstein of PackersNews.com.

Veteran Ricky-Jean Francois said Adams looked “pretty special.”

OK, take a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Doesn't seem like King's shoulder is serious. Watched practice. No sling. Biegel improving. Montravius is the one to probably worry about.


King, who’d worked with the No. 1 defense the previous three days, was able to watch most of practice, which would seem to indicate his injury isn’t severe. Fellow cornerback Herb Waters, who also has a shoulder injury, has been nowhere to be seen since reinjuring himself on the first day of camp.

Same Wilde article:


With King out, the Packers used veteran Davon House, who has been with the No. 1 defense every day of camp, and Quinten Rollins as the outside corners and Damarious Randall inside in the slot. The previous three days, Rollins was inside with King outside and Randall working with the No. 2 defense.

Gunter might be behind Rollins at this point.

Encouraging to hear the early praise. It would be nice to see TT finally find a second lineman who can generate inside pressure. Since Packer injuries usually take double the time of initial prognosis to heal, we can hope that Adams will make a contribution during the second half of the season as the Packers rise to the top of the NFC.

[Joemailman]

The Packers have signed rookie DT Aiulua Fanene from Arizona, his agent Aaron Gordon told ESPN. The native of Samoa is the younger brother of Jonathan Fanene, who played for the Bengals and Patriots. He should provide depth after rookie third-round DT Montravius Adams had foot surgery and is expected to miss multiple weeks. Fanene likely will take the roster spot of cornerback Herb Waters, who is expected to be placed on injured reserve because of a shoulder injury.

Be nice to see one or two of the rFAs really come on. Baltimore might be willing to give the Packers something for a TE. They are a little low in that category. Still Ozzie is too smart to waste anything of value for a marginal TE who might come available during cutdowns....

[Fritz]

You corrected yourself there, Mrayn. For a second I thought you were going to go down that ol' training camp path..."maybe ____ will give us a fourth round pick for our extra FA offensive lineman who won't make the Packer roster anyway!"

[Joemailman]

Went to practice today. Young guys got a lot of work although Rodgers played a lot.

House was out with a hammy. Montgomery only did individual work on the sideline from what I saw. Not sure I saw Jordy out here.

Big Michael Clark had HHCD beat deep so HHCD pulled him down for pass interference. Clark seemed a bit pissed about it.

Lowry batted down a pass which resulted in a Jake Ryan INT.

Both Dupre and Yancey had some nice plays.

Montay Crockett had a nice catch for a gig gain but had a drop later.

Barcley and Arod had a fumbled snap exchange.

Bennett grabbed the back of his leg late in practice. Didn't look too bad but I wonder if he'll be held out Thursday Night.

Hundley looked very good. Could be a fun preseason with him.

Edit:

Gunter got beat deep again. Yeah it happens to others too, but it seems to happen more with him.

Randall had a nice pass breakup while playing slot. Did a nice job of playing physical to get position.

[pbmax]

Rodgers ran the scout team, Hundley was with the 1s.

Hundley said of Rodgers: "He does a damn good impersonation of Carson Wentz."

yeah, to get something, the guy has to be valuable to multiple teams, so a team is afraid of them hitting the open market. A good showing by Packer TEs might just net a conditional seventh rounder.

Not sure if you saw my post from yesterday Vince. Clark had HHCD beat deep so HHCD committed intentional PI to prevent a TD. The final cutdown at WR is going to be interesting. If he has a big preseason, the Packers may have a tough time sneaking him onto the PS. Might need to pay him to stay here.

No but I did now. Thanks for that. Good fan reports are the best things to read IMO. I still remember fondly JH's classic training camp report featuring the hot red head in the stands and all her "jiggly wonder" or something like that. I went to camp a few years back and watched and talked Packers with Wayne Larrivee for 2 hours. Good times at training camp. It's great getting up close to the action too.

And I'm starting to agree that there's too much there to lose regardless of how ready Clark is now. Roster spots are going to be tight though. Not enough spots for some guys I'd like to see make the squad.

[vince]

Allison is suspended week one, so we have room to carry at least one extra WR at the beginning of the season.
Yeah that might be an opportunity to sneak him onto the PS after week 1.

Here's a nugget from Sunday featuring a couple guys I've heard virtually nothing about... from Eric Baranczyk who usually has a pretty good take on stuff I think.


Undrafted rookies Donatello Brown and Geoff Gray look like they have a chance to make the roster. Brown, a cornerback from Valdosta State, has decent size (6-0, 190) and speed (4.50 40), and he competes every down. Gray (6-5, 315), a guard from the University of Manitoba, is a mauler as a run blocker. He has a ways to go in pass protection, though, because he’s too aggressive and compromises his balance by reaching for his guy.
Not sure a guy who struggles in pass protection has much of a shot at the 53 though... Plus it's crowded along the OL and those guys have limited special teams value.
That last CB spot could be up for grabs with Waters going down and Gunter sucking it up. I seem to be reading mixed reviews about Hawkins. Haven't heard much from Lenzy Pipkins who was a pre-camp darling projected to make some people's rosters....
I think watching for one of those CB's to stand out on special teams - without getting toasted outside of course - in preseason could make the difference for someone.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I went to Family Night. I thought I'd be more impressed by Clark. He had a couple of one on one deep throws, and his ball skills and competitiveness were lacking. My gut tells me that it will be Nelson, Cobb, Adams, Allison, Davis, and Janis with a couple of the rookies sneaking onto the practice squad. To me, Allison and Davis both looked much improved.

I thought Aaron Jones and Devante Mays looked rather pedestrian. Jamaal Williams looked solid, but Ty Montgomery is by far the best RB we have. If he stays healthy and improves in pass pro, he's going to surprise a lot of people around the NFL.

Taysom Hill looks like a clone of Joe Callahan.

My gut tells me House, King, Randall, Rollins, and Hawkins will be the top five corners with one other player likely slipping into the mix for a 6th spot. I was a bit disappointed in Kevin King though. He looked disinterested when he was playing off coverage. To be fair, I watched him on fewer than 10 plays.

One guy who caught my eye was ILB Cody Heiman. I had to look at the roster to see who he was. He might be a good practice squad candidate.

You're probably right on most of the UDFA players. There's a reason most weren't drafted and it's simply because they weren't good enough. So guys we think will be snatched up immediately by other clubs probably stand a good chance of being on the Packer's practice squad. I'm sure there are at least a couple of diamonds in the rough that will make the regular roster due to an outstanding training camp or injuries.

I also wonder if not making any cutdowns until the end of the preseason will end up helping the Packers since there will be a lot of chaos with all the players released at once?

[mraynrand]

I also wonder if not making any cutdowns until the end of the preseason will end up helping the Packers since there will be a lot of chaos with all the players released at once?

Packers do such a good job of attracting and bringing in rookie FAs that there will no doubt be some we like that will get snatched up by someone else. There are enough good organizations that these guys get scouted and are on other team's radars (especially if they knew about them before the Packers signed them - and most probably did). Still, how many rookie FAs have the Packers let go who became great players for other teams? I can't think of one. A little help here? :)

It wasn't cheapness, they were going for more athletic, presumably so the LS could be more of a factor in punt coverage. If it doesn't work, Goode will be back.

I'm not surprised that a rookie CB would struggle covering WR's who have been in the NFL for years. He probably saw very few good receivers while in college, and certainly the QB's were mediocre at best.

Packers sign Brett Goode to compete for LS job. http://packerswire.usatoday.com/2017/08/12/packers-bring-back-veteran-long-snapper-brett-goode/

[bobblehead]

Packers do such a good job of attracting and bringing in rookie FAs that there will no doubt be some we like that will get snatched up by someone else. There are enough good organizations that these guys get scouted and are on other team's radars (especially if they knew about them before the Packers signed them - and most probably did). Still, how many rookie FAs have the Packers let go who became great players for other teams? I can't think of one. A little help here? :)

Kurt Warner

Kurt Warner

Man, you had to go back 23 years, to the first year there were 7 rounds in the draft. Warner is such an odd ball story, with the arena ball, the coaching, being passed over by the Brownies in the expansion draft, and I think even NFL Europe too, right - before the Rams. Everybody was wrong about him and only very odd circumstances gave him a shot.

The is some Packer on former Packer Twitter beefing going on.

Jermichael Finley was telling players to shut up and play the game. Martellus Bennett responded and HaHa has now joined in.

Ty Montgomery and Key Packers Defender Slowed by Injuries Tuesday

By:Nick Brown......15 AUG 2017

" Starting running back Ty Montgomery didn't have a chance to injure himself in practice today. Rather, he simply sat the whole thing out with a sore lower leg."

[Joemailman]

http://packerswire.usatoday.com/2017/08/15/packers-training-camp-notes-and-observations-from-tuesdays-practice/


During practice, rookie safety Josh Jones dropped out with an ankle injury early on. The Packers second-round pick was on the ground as trainers administered an ice wrap around his right foot. Jones sat in a trainers cart for a good amount of time, watching practice off to the side before being taken in. Fellow safety Jermaine Whitehead also dropped out of practice.


In the secondary, cornerbacks Kevin King and Josh Hawkins worked the outside with the No. 1 defense. King had his ups and downs again in practice. He held tight coverage on an Aaron Rodgers throw to Geronimo Allison, who made a nice adjustment to catch the ball. King rebounded later in practice, breaking up a Rodgers pass to Davante Adams over the middle. Hawkins saw almost all of the No.1 reps, ahead of LaDarius Gunter. He used his speed to break up a Rodgers deep pass to Trevor Davis after Davis got behind him.

With Montgomery out, rookie Jamaal Williams was the clear No. 1 back, while fellow rookies Aaron Jones and Devante Mays saw more reps behind him. Jones had an early fumble in practice, while Mays had one of the better runs of the day with a nice cut up the middle.


Jeff Janis had a very strong day, catching plenty of passes that included a deep pass down the sideline from Rodgers to beat cornerback Raysean Pringle.

Trevor Davis saw his fair share of targets, catching several passes over the middle. Undrafted rookie Montay Crockett took advantage of his playing time, catching almost everything thrown his way.


Outside linebacker Kyler Fackrell has not had the camp many had hoped, but he did have a nice rush on tackle Jason Spriggs that could have resulted in a sack in a live game.


In the long snapper competition, veteran Brett Goode took the first four snaps in the punting section of practice, while Derek Hart took the last four. The first punt attempt happened to be a direct snap to Kentrell Brice who gained good yardage on the fake.


When the offense and defense were working with each other on one side of the field, rookie linebacker Vince Biegel and Demetri Goodson were both doing some footwork drills on the other side.

[GBkrzygrl]

According to a report I read Jones was carted off the field with an ankle or lower leg injury. UGH!

Jones fumbling problems seemed pretty severe in college. He won't last long if he does improve dramatically in that department. The rookie RB competition appears to be Williams, Mays, and then Jones.

He needs to shut the fuck up and hang on to the ball.

Rookie long snapper Derek Hart was not at practice today with a reported illness. With veteran Brett Goode snapping the ball today, kicker Mason Crosby went 6-for-6.


Outside linebacker Kyler Fackrell won his first 1-on-1 rep of training camp, beating rookie tackle Robert Leff. Fackrell had been 0-for-24 in one-on-one pass-rushing drills, according to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. In the same drill, the struggles for second-year tackle Jason Spriggs continued with losses to Johnathan Calvin and Josh Letuligasenoa.


With Ty Montgomery out again on Wednesday with an injury, the three rookie running backs got more time to shine in practice.

Jamaal Williams once again worked with the No. 1 offense. Both Aaron Jones and Devante Mays had solid practices, with each producing a few good runs. Mays has consistently been able to rip off at least one good run a practice during training camp.

[texaspackerbacker]
