Notes from First Practice

[Partial]

If Kampman is matched up with a #1 receiver, we're not doing it right.

Welcome back, Partial. Glad you're back.

Pics, you say??





Obviously I was close to where the OL was training.....

TEs weren't far away.....

Nice pics.

Apparently, the Packers will keep the 7th round pick they were supposed to send to the Jets next year. After reading the article, I still don't know why we get it back, but it was some procedural thing.

Nice pics.

They were a LOT larger when I downloaded them.

Photobucket must have edited the size....anybody know how to fix that?

I'd have comments, but I was sitting in front of some asshat from Chicago that just would NOT SHUT UP the entire time he was there. I know, typical--right?? It's hard to concentrate when Richard Head from Barrington makes comments like the following:

"I heard that Brandon Jackson hurt his knee in practice yesterday."

Umm, yeah Closet Bear Fan, that was Brandon Jackson that just ran with the number 2s.......you must be thinking of Tavarius Jackson in Minnesota...get the teams right, douchenozzle.

That's a funny post, Iron Mike.

I got a headache trying to figure out why we got that 7th back from the Jets. That whole trade was goofy, glad it's over now.

I know TT fought for his precious 7th.

Right under the box that lists the files you're uploading is a pulldown list that says "Reduce to:" Change that to something larger.

I thought McCarthy performed well today, highlighted by his assessment that he "thought the function with Dom and Winston, the boundary interaction with the substitution because we gave them a lot of sub offense on first and second down, so I thought the mechanics of it was very good."

Emphasizing "boundary interaction" was good, but Coach M really stepped up his game when he said that Tony Moll would certainly "apply competition" to (or "on"?) the offensive line.

The only letdown - and it's early in camp, so this is normal - occurred when Coach McCarthy forgot to mention pad level, despite being prompted by questions about the offensive line more than once.

These are simply my initial impressions. I'll probably have to look at the film before I can give you a more comprehensive analysis.

I thought it was because the Jets unconditionally released Brett.

Thanks Iron Mike!

Packgator, in an unrelated note you seem to be a Gator fan. Do you think Percy Harvin's skills will translate to the NFL after watching him in college?

Ras. Very talented and very exciting. Watched every game expecting him to do something special. He's best known as a WR......yet in both 2006 and 2008 he had more rushing yards than receiving yards. During his three years he had more rushing TD's (19) than receiving TD's (13). And he averaged nearly 10 yards per rush. I guess a lot will depend how the Vikings use him.......but I suspect he has a lot to learn about playing the WR position. In college he was just better than the defenders trying to stop him. I was hoping he would end up anywhere but the NFC North.

First, he put on an impressive display of touch when he dropped three 40-yard bombs into the accuracy bucket – a basketball hoop-like ring and net that sits at the goal line. Making one into the bucket during that drill is impressive. To make three is practically unheard of.

Extremely impressive right there.

Sounds like Rodgers had an awesome day. Good sign.
