Offseason workouts starts today, not OTA's.
Quote:
The Packers' OTA practices will be conducted May 27-29, June 2-4 and June 9-12.
Typically, the minicamp and one OTA practice per week have been open to the public. |
I expect there will soon be lift by lift descriptions of the players performances in the weight room.
We do know that Sam Barrington, BJ Raji, and Mike Daniels are using the Seattle loss as fuel for the fire.
This is the year, baby.
There will also be talk about how guys are in the best shape of their lives and really taking things seriously this year.
MM won't be able to talk about pad level because they can't wear pads.
In the spirit of red being confused, here will be the thread for rookie camp.
In the spirit of confusing things more, out first item is about second year player Davante Adams.
Davante Adams @tae15adams 3h3 hours ago
Year 2 and Im still getting called Randall. Be ready to be called Bob if I ur a guy n I dont know u... #allblackpeoplelookalike

Cowboys have signed La'el Collins, according to a source.
3 year 1.4 million dollar deal
so if the plan of his agent was to not get him drafted so that he could "clean up" as an undrafted free agent, well that plan backfired
janis, who was our 7th round pick last year, got a 4 year, 2.27 million dollar deal
so collins is making less per year, then a normal 7th rounder, but he is a free agent after 3 years where a normal draft pick would have to wait 4 years
his agent didn't come out and say it, but their were a lot of people around the net that assumed that was what the whole thinking was when the agent came out and said he would sign with anyone who drafts him after the 3rd round
but like what you mention, those people failed to realize that an undrafted free agent is not a real free agent that can get a huge contract
and in response to smidge, he had the pick from 25 teams it sounds like, why would he go to a team thats already stacked on the o-line? he's gonna have a hard time cracking the starting lineup, and might have to move to guard to do it. why not go somewhere where he could be the starter from day 1?
Only three teams showed interest. Only two offered a contract. Between Miami and Dallas, he probably picked Dallas due to coaching staff, scheme, and (most importantly) likelihood of staying healthy.
Didn't the agent say he wouldn't sign with anyone after the 3rd round? He was still trying to get into the supplemental draft at that point.
Once they foreclosed that option, later round pick was viable again. Though the FA after 3 years isn't a bad consolation.
First Rookie Camp report I read:
http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/303105301.html
Randall sat out with ankle injury. He must need yoga. Or acupuncture.
The next item was better:
Rollins had the lone interception during 11-on-11 drills, picking off QB Brett Hundley and returning the ball for a touchdown.
Jags lose their top draft pick, video doesn't look good.

Someone start a thread asking about his post-season honors.

Here are the 59 players at the #Packers rookie camp, a good percentage of which will not be asked back: http://gnb.scout.com/story/1545066-r...on-roster?s=61 …

Could there be more Packer/Wisconsin connections?
http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/303113601.html
Quote:
Over the off-season, Hundley worked in Arizona with former All-Pro Kurt Warner, along with Colin Kaepernick, though added his game is more Russell Wilson, than Kaepernick. Wilson, however, started Week 1 in Seattle as a rookie out of Wisconsin.
where did you see that only 3 teams were interested
according to this article
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...ially-cleared/
Quote:
That ultimately didn’t stop the Cowboys or, per a league source, upwards of 25 other teams. That’s roughly how many were interested in signing Collins based on independent investigations of the situation.
McCarthy Press Conference, Day 2 of Rookie Camp, Beard is still with us. Looks like a cross between Timothy Busfield and Dan Haggarty.
What I caught Live:
Joe Thomas definitely inside LB
Ryan looks natural inside, will stick there for now not a candidate to move

THEY ARE REALLY LAYING IT ON THICK. DID YOU HAVE FAVREJACKS FOR BREAKFAST TOO?

On Joe Thomas: He needs to pick up where he left off from before he got hurt last training camp.

MM on Crockett: Here for a reason. Scouting different today than 25 years ago. Not many guys get missed.

I may not know who Joe Thomas is but that doesn't mean I can't ask a question about him.

MM on Blake Sims: Did some nice things today. Instinctive.
Packer Report @PackerReport 18m18 minutes ago
On Sims, another position is something that's been "thrown around." Did some post-practice work with some other guys at other positions.
Packer Report @PackerReport 17m17 minutes ago
MM on Jake Ryan: Like what he's done. Bigger than he thought. "Picked it up clean" with making calls. Assertive. Good start.
SO HE IS ENERGETIC AND CAN MAKE THE RIGHT CALLS. BRANDON IS NUTS, THIS GUY IS AJ HAWK. IF HE SHOWS THE SIDELINE THE SHOCKER THIS SEASON, THEY SHOULD INSIST ON A DNA TEST
Biggest revelation is that Rookie Camp is as much for the personnel guys as the coaches and players. Lots of people in the rookie camp are essentially being scouted in-house for the emergency list of players they would pick up if they have space on the PS/roster or have an actual emergency at a position.
The reason its timed for this week (not with vets in a week or two) is to keep up with other teams and not let a player slip through their fingers. Somehow Boykin in Jacksonville figures into this if I heard this correctly.
Its a good thing he's got 2 days of stubble because he's so baby faced he looks like he's 11 years old.

CMIII working with ILBs during offseason conditioning/workout program.

Quote:
During the off-season conditioning program, which began on April 20, Thomas, Clay Matthews, Sam Barrington, Nate Palmer and Carl Bradford joined together as the inside group. No one is completely entrenched at the two starting positions, although Matthews will start somewhere on defense and Barrington's solid body of work last season gives him an edge over the others inside.
When I say 'hop' you HOP! when you pass rush mister!!

Adrian Hubbard, making the leap!
http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packe...303197071.htmlQuote:
The 6-foot-6 Hubbard spent his first season on the practice squad and is now hoping to earn a spot on the roster and, ultimately, the pass-rush rotation in 2015. Hubbard is one returnee who took part in this week's rookie orientation. This off-season, he said, he shaved fat and added muscle and is noticeably more muscular.
After the Packers bypassed potential edge rushers in the NFL draft — such as Nebraska's Randy Gregory in the first round and UCLA's Owa Odighizuwa in the second — Hubbard has a realistic shot at finding a niche.
He hasn't stepped on a scale in two weeks, but said he was a more solid 256 pounds.
not a whole lot of free space at OLB though
Packer Report @PackerReport 41m41 minutes ago
No idea who #packers are signing if anyone from the weekend. Gotten "no" from several players. Sims among them.

Weston Hodkiewicz @WesHod 10m10 minutes ago
As @PackerReport said, #Packers told Alabama QB Blake Sims he won't be signed at this time. CMU OL Andy Phillips tweeted that he's staying
When your worries about depth revolve around the 3rd RB, you have an embarrassment of riches.

Packer Report @PackerReport 29s29 seconds ago
Told the #Packers are going to release Luther Robinson today. Was good story as tryout guy who contributed last year.
Hubbard has all the potential and definitely needed to get stronger so hopefully he makes the leap on the field. He looked a little slow and a bit soft to me in college. Didn't show great explosion or instincts. Struggled to shed blocks against the run. Maybe the added strength will help him change that. Like someone said, he's looking up at 5 or 6 guys with Elliott and maybe Mulumba. He might need an injury to crack the 53.
Would love to see him get another year to develop because he has the tools to possibly be an answer to the impending turnover at the position after this year with the aging Peppers and Neal/Perry likely looking to get their best chance at serious money. I just have doubts about whether he'll be quite ready yet though. Maybe he could be a sixth OLB that makes the 53 but doesn't dress.
OTAs begin this week. Anyone attending?
