Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away.
I keep seeing gangs of about 3-4, but no one from the Packers yet.
Highlights have been 4 NYJ guys taking their morning lattés back to the hotel saying "I appreciate it, dog" to each other in the absolute whitest way possible and 3 Falcons' entry-levelers (2M/1F) desperately harassing a FedEx delivery guy about where a package could have arrived.
When i started working in DoMo, the practices were at the municipal stadium closer to the hotel area and everyone wore matching team-color tracksuits. Now the practices are at the local U's new stadium in the suburbs and everyone (players and NFL staff) wears black athleisure with team logos in white outlines. The giveaway is the all-access lanyards in the bright orange of the main sponsor, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Aaron Nagler @aaronnagler.bsky.social
Rob Demovsky reports the Packers are hiring former Patriots DC DeMarcus Covington as their DL coach as well as promoting former NFL QB and Packers assistant coach Sean Mannion to QB Coach.
Covington joined New England in 2017 and was a coaching assistant for two years before becoming the teams outside linebackers coaching in 2019. He won his first Super Bowl title when the Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII. In 2020 he was moved to coaching the defensive line. On February 1, 2024, he was promoted to defensive coordinator. Covington was not retained by the Patriots upon the hiring of Mike Vrabel.
Mannion retired from playing to join the Packers coaching staff last year. MLF coached Mannion when Mannion was with the Rams.
So you're saying they are here to stay ?Quote:

Wonder if Jerrod Mayo would consider going back to being a LB coach again alongside his former DC Covington. Mayo was Patriots ILB coach for 4 years before being made HC.Quote:

Can we just find a way to get Davante back?
I didn't pay attention to him last year; is he just a possession receiver at this point?
Well, even if he is, the idea of "possession" might be an upgrade after all those drops this past season . . .
Once he was with the Jets, his yards per reception were in line with his career average, and he had 7 TD's in 11 games. His YAC was very good. Actually, his catch% was down. I suspect some of that was Rodgers throwing to Davante under duress. I don't think he's lost much.Quote:

@AaronWilson_NFL
#Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich another candidate emerging for #Texans offensive coordinator vacancy, per a league source
He previously interviewed with #Seahawks and is expected to interview with AFC South champions, making him eighth candidate overall
Oh yeah. Saw that game, too. The D had Davante singled up on the weak side.Quote:

The DB was lost at sea as Davante still had the great hands and golden wheels.
He has 103 TD's and closing in on 12000 yards
HOF material, mebbe?

The Texans' OL underperformed to the point where the team fired their OC.
Adam Stenavich makes a lot of sense there.
Luke Getsy makes a lot of sense as his replacement in Green Bay.

This would explain why Mannion got the QB coach job while Getsy was given a rather amorphous job title. They must think Steno will be gone soon.Quote:

Now Murphy has come out and said he’s against it.
Will the nfl have the balls to change it for next year?
Or regulate pushing players (it happens on running backs with Oline essentially picking them up and pushing).
This isn’t rugby.

It used to be illegal to push the ball carrier from behind. They ought to go back to that. All pushing of the ball carrier should be outlawed, not just the tush push.Quote:
