Rodgers pump fake freezes defense, finds Cobb in end zone (7 on 7).... https://vine.co/v/hqdvd2MuaHq

HE DOESN'T PUMP FAKE MUCH, DOES HE?

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
Lang stuffs Jolly.

JUST GETTING HIM MAD TJ. GOOD FOR YOU.

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 1h
Finley catches TD over Fulton and spikes ball into next week. A lot of motivation for 88 this year

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 1h
Rodgers drops a pass to Omarius Hines perfectly in double coverage https://vine.co/v/hqdvxIOVuDE

LIKING THIS

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
Good matchup between Sitton and Daniels. Sitton gets the edge.

ITS THE HAIR

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1h
Omarius Hines adjusts body in end zone to haul in a score the final play of 7 on 7.

THIS WAS THE SIGNING AFTER DORSEY AND JOHNSON WENT DOWN, RIGHT? NICE TO SEE

PACKERS REALLY REACHING BEYOND NORMAL REPERTOIRE HERE FOR TV TIMEOUTS. NICE CREAM TRIBUTE BAND PLAYING DEEP PURPLE.

Great stuff. Best post on this page.

Daniels still killing in 1om1s, goes 2-1 today

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 1h
But gerhart struggling against most everyone else

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 1h
Strange pattern in 1on1 pass rush, gerhart can block Jones, who has been whining most of his reps against everyone else

FOOTBALL MORE AND MORE LIKE BASEBALL. SITUATIONAL SUBSTITUTION

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1h
McCarthy giving rookie running backs the reps in blitz pickup early.

YOU CAN TELL WHERE A COACH'S FOCUS IS

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1h
Fumbled pitch from Coleman to Starks. Someone at fault.

I HATE TO SPECULATE HERE. I VOTE FOR BOTH

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
Snap on the ground from Barclay I think. Could have been Van Roten.

SILVERSTEIN REPORTING FROM DENNY'S DOWN THE STREET

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
Datone Jones with a probable sack up the middle.

NO COMMENT I MEAN IT

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 1h
Banjo seems a bit more suited for the safety spot than short stint with McMahon. Gets into hole to stop green on blitz

HIS NAME IS REALLY BANJO?!

[pbmax]

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
Rodgers to Finley for a TD down the middle.

I'VE GOT YOUR COVER 2 RIGHT HERE!

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 1h
Ryan Taylor catching everything thrown to him so far. Name not coming up for wrong reasons

THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY TO EXPRESS A JOB WELL DONE

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1h
Rodgers with a shovel pass to Franklin underneath for an easy score in red-zone blitz.

HAVE NEVER, NEVER, LIKED SHOVEL PASSES EXCEPT WHEN SCRAMBLING

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
Both good from 33 right hash. Both good 37 left hash.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
Both good from 43 right hash.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
Both good from 47 from left hash.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
Crosby good from 51right hash. Tavecchio hits left upright. Hits on another attempt.

CROSBY EVEN HIT FROM RIGHT HASH

[Pugger]

The only really decent vines are Wilde's. The others are too darn far away to really see anything.

[pbmax]

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
Rodgers to Boykin to the goal line into zone coverage. Then play action to Jones for corner TD.

JONES SHOULD BE A HUGE RED ZONE THREAT

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1h
A lot of screens, shovels, etc. for Johnathan Franklin. Looking better in blitz pick-up today.

COACH'S FOCUS

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
Coleman would have been sacked by Mulumba and Savage.

SOUNDS LIKE A WRESTLING TAG TEAM

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
Lacy bulls up the middle for TD.

WAS NOT LIVE TACKLING THOUGH

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 1h
Bakhtiari inching into RT competition, takes 1 snap w starters on goal line play

[Guiness]

Wow that was a pile to read! Most promising thing I read was this:

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 22h
Yikes. Eddie Lacy sends Datone Jones airborne with a lowered shoulder at the end of his run. On his back.

Seems like it's been forever since we've had a back who finishes hard. I have fond memories of Ahman levitating LBs!

[pbmax]

Great stuff. Best post on this page.

Song title from a Dylan song. These guys take their nostalgia seriously.

THURSDAY PRACTICE

Packer Report @PackerReport 59m
Last two days of one-on-one pass-blocking drill, the starting five is combined 15-0.

FROM TWITTER, YOU WOULD GET THE OPPOSITE IMPRESSION. BUT WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS, ITS ALWAYS 1 VS 2s IN DRILLS. BUT THIS IS BETTER NEWS THAN THE IMPRESSION THAT THE D LINE WAS OVERRUNNING THE O LINE.

[Guiness]

Did something change with Vine? I thought I could view the videos with Firefox. Looked for an alternative, found seenive but I can't seem to find Tyler Dunne's account.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
MM: No updates on the PUP guys. Won't happen this week.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
MM: Jolly had ankle, but he's a tough guy. Didn't surprise me he was back today.

Packer Report @PackerReport 1h
MM on right tackle: Newhouse running with 1's but needs to earn it; Barclay and Bakhtiari need to earn it, too. "Going to take some time."

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1h
McCarthy: Didn't like the balls on the ground. Disrupts practice.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1h
McCarthy: Pitch between Coleman, Starks, never seen anything like that. Sloppy.

Packer Report @PackerReport 1h
Ball on the ground four times "puts a huge dent into the performance."

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
MM: Didn't like the balls on the ground. Stayed after and had the whole team work on ball handling. Coleman to Starks toss, I don/t think...

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h
MM: Barclay, the shotgun is new to him. Three of the four have been shotguns. But it's time to start improving.

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 1h
On report Williams will get second opinion on knee: McCarthy doesn't confirm, says he feels OK with initial evaluation

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1h
McCarthy on 38 getting second opinion on knee: Maybe. Not aware where that came from. Players can get second opinion if they feel necessary.

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 1h
On kicker: i thought they both kicked lot better, crosby accurate and height was good. Tavechhio doesn't have quite the height Crosby gets

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1h
McCarthy on Savage/Mulumba: Like whole OLB group. Has length, the right personality.

Packer Report @PackerReport 1h
MM on Richardson (neck): All the opinions of doctors have to be factored and final decision made.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1h
McCarthy on the safeties: Really like the growth of both. Both made huge step in communication. Different players physically.

Packer Report @PackerReport
MM on safeties: Not "as clean" as Jennings vs. McMillian because of personnel groupings. Likes growth of both players.

Packer Report @PackerReport 1h
Morgan Burnett upgrading play and upgrading "exertion of command" of defense. "This is the Morgan Burnett that we know."

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1h
McCarthy: Eddie Lacy and Johnathan Franklin two younger guys doing well at that (2nd level); challenging the "free hat."

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1h
McCarthy on 2nd level blocking: Ability to make right decision, choose right hole. Create apex for runner, square up defender, make him miss

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 1h
McCarthy kept players after practice for additional ball security/handling drills. "Today is not what you want." #Packers

Outstanding updates.

There are a few things that I like so far:
1.) Lacy is a destroyer and turns it on when the pads go on.
2.) Newhouse has been a pleasant surprise at RT. Maybe it's a better fit.
3.) Bakhtiari is probably much better than wist thought. Sounds like he's on his way to a backup T spot.
4.) Daniels and McMillian having a great camp. Sounds like both have worked for it and are stepping up.
5.) Finley is dialed in.

And a few things I don't like:
1.) Lang is struggling more than I'm comfortable with.
2.) Cobb with more drops than I'd like, although I think it'll clear up.
3.) "Second opinion" sounds like "last chance" for TWill.

[Joemailman]

I was at practice today. As Wilde alluded to, sloppy practice. Sure MM was not happy.

Finley looks great. And by that, I mean the extra weight makes him look and move like the 2009 Finley.
I'll be surprised if McMillian isn't the starting SS.
Franklin looks really dangerous, especially when catching the ball.
Ross seemed to be getting a lot of reps. See what he does on Family Night.

More likes:
6) The combination of Daniels and Jones (and Jolly if he can stick) is going to provide a much more active defensive line, and might energize the entire defense.
7) TT has done a good job of enhancing competition at key positions.


Don't likes:

4) No replacement in sight for Cobb on special teams.
5) Depth on OL is going to be thin to non-existent.
6) Sounds like Franklin is having a tough time with blitz pickup. Is that something that can be learned on the fly or does it mean GB is going to have to find another third down back this year?

Don't hate:
1) Could getting their fumbilitis out of the way in training camp mean it won't show up again in the divisional round?

[Fritz]

Likes:

1. Having outside linebackers with names like "Savage" and "Moses."

2. The play, so far, of David Bahkteria.

3. The dedication of McMillan and Finley looking like it might pay off.

4. PB's Twitter updates/commentary

Dislikes:

1. The injuries

2. The seemingly sluggish play of the offensive line as James Campen plays everybody at every position every day.

3. Ross's fumbleitis so far.

4. The injuries.
