    TE Jermichael Finley was immediately in the role of the second tight end with the first team. But it's not like the Packers have any other choice. Finley looked to know what he was doing. Seemed comfortable and caught the ball well

    The first two offensive lines were: LT Chad Clifton, LG Allen Barbre, C Scott Wells, RG Jason Spitz, RT Mark Tauscher, and LT Orrin Thompson, LG Daryn Colledge, C Junius Coston, RG Josh Sitton, RT Tony Moll;

    The starting cornerbacks without Al Harris and Charles Woodson were Jarrett Bush and Tramon Williams, with Patrick Lee playing the slot in nickel. Williams had an outstanding practice. He was everywhere and knocked down at least three passes;

    RB DeShawn Wynn barely participated and appeared to be in so-so shape. But then again, that was the case last year and McCarthy said Wynn was fine;

    The quarterbacks, for the most part, looked pretty sharp, especially Aaron Rodgers. Brian Brohm fumbled his first snap in team drills, recovered to throw a duck deep down the right sideline, and then Jordy Nelson jumped over Lee to make a great catch;

    DE Jeremy Thompson had a rough time against fellow rookie Breno Giacomini in one-on-one drills. Thompson had a tough time getting off the ground;

    The starting linebackers were MLB Nick Barnett, WLB A.J. Hawk and SLB Brady Poppinga. The backups were MLB Desmond Bishop, WLB Tracy White and SLB Brandon Chillar;

      More quick hits from the first of four open OTA practices ...

      * Fifth-round draft pick Breno Giacomini held his own during one-on-one pass rushing drills. Three times, fourth-rounder Jeremy Thompson ended up on the ground when going against Giacomini, who said coaches made significant adjustments to his technique during rookie orientation camp in an effort to get him playing lower and with better leverage. "I just keep taking it all in," Giacomini said. "As much coaching as I can -- not only with Coach Campen, but with (Jason) Spitz and the rest of the o-line and all these guys. They don't have to say nothing, but just watching them is a huge advantage for me."

      * Jordy Nelson made his second impressive catch in as many open practices this month. Running a go route along the right sideline, Nelson slowed to adjust to a floater from Brian Brohm -- who had fumbled the snap -- established position and elevated over Pat Lee to make the grab. The play earned a flying chest bump from veteran receiver Donald Driver.

      * The 10 players expected to sit out with injuries all did: DTs Justin Harrell (back), Johnny Jolly (shoulder), Daniel Muir (pectoral muscle) and Colin Cole (forearm), CB Will Blackmon (foot), LB Abdul Hodge (knees), FB John Kuhn (groin), OL Cameron Stephenson (calf), TE Tory Humphrey (ankle) and DE Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (knee). Only Harrell, Jolly and Blackmon have been ruled out for all of OTAs.

      * The interior defensive line was short-handed enough that starting end Cullen Jenkins worked mostly at defensive tackle alongside Ryan Pickett. Michael Montgomery filled Jenkins' spot at right end.

      * Hodge, who missed all of last season after having surgery on both knees, expects to be cleared next week.

      * Second-year CB Tramon Williams was in on three pass break-ups.

      * The Aaron Rodgers-led No. 1 offense had two false starts in a three-play span during a team (11-on-11 period). Overall, though, Rodgers seemed sharp.

      * OL Tony Moll got up slowly after someone rolled onto the back of his legs on a Brandon Jackson run during a team period. Moll limped off but seemed OK.

      * LB Brady Poppinga nearly intercepted Rodgers during the 7-on-7 passing drill.

      * There were no fumbles during ball-security drills.

      * And your mostly meaningless passing statistics (7-on-7 in parentheses; excludes initial team run period): Rodgers 14-for-20 (5-for-8), Brohm 10-for-13 (5-for-6), Matt Flynn 4-for-6 (2-for-4).

            Barbre Tabbed As Starter

            packeraaron in Go Pack Go

            It looks like the Packers are not kidding around when they say that improvement at the guard position will come from within. Second year player Alan Barbre was the starter at left guard at the opening of today’s practice, taking Daryn Colledge’s place from last year (though Colledge saw work at his old spot as well).

            I’m excited to see what Barbre can bring to the table, though it’s hard to get a read on anything when your offensive linemen aren’t in pads. Add to that, the company line during camp last year was that Barbre excelled at pass protection, and then he promptly looked horrific in pass pro in the pre-season.

            A lot has happened since then, and of course the coaching staff knows a million times more than we do. The comfort is that he can’t really be any more of a blunder in pass pro than Colledge was at the most inopportune times last season… (For reference, please see: Chiefs Game vs. Boone, Alphonso or Entire Game vs. Cowboys)

              I love this! I'm beginning to get excited for the first time since Favre retired. I actually think I like Rodgers hair long...it's different from any other QB in the league. Great pics!

                Let the gorgeous locks flow, A-Rod!

                Could Driver be any more cut??

                ....and those are the superficial thoughts from a Packer gal.

                Thanks, GBR!

                  ARod does look like he bulked up a bit. It's like he came home to Cali and spent all day smoking chronic and eating Oreos during the break.

                                DeShawn Wynn looks like he packed on at least 5 lbs of muscle and lost fat.

                                Korey Hall looks 5 lbs bigger.

                                Rodgers looks bigger.

                                I though Barnett looked like he gained a couple. He looked thicker in the rump and through his core.
