Camp Reports 2013 or Oh No, That Doesn't Look Good

[pbmax]

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 27s
House with tight coverage on Wilson on a deep ball.

BUT DID IT END THE SAME WAY IT ENDS FOR JARRET BUSH (WITH COMPLETION?)

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 3m
Good observation by @TomSilverstein here. Have barely seen Young throw downfield much at all in camp.

CHECKDOWN ARTIST

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 45s
Young n Harrell getting almost all the backup QB snaps, Coleman doing mostly scout team

COLEMAN MIGHT BE HEADED TO PS. ONLY ONE OF YOUNG/HARRELL MAKES TEAM

[pbmax]

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 30s
One on one pass rush. Nick Perry beats Newhouse bad inside.

BIGGER! LONGER! TOUGHER! WAIT, HE WAS HERE LAST YEAR?!

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1m
Sitton great set against Raji.

NOT SURE HOW TO REACT

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 30s
Barclay stops Neal in 1-on-1s. #Packers https://vine.co/v/hMMjJ1xxDrx

SAME PROBLEM

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 13s
Garth Gerhart stuffs Josh Boyd. Rookie has not been impressive in this drill.

PROOF TO BOB MCGINN THAT JOSH BOYD IS LAZY AND SHIFTLESS AS HE VIOLATES BIGGER IS BETTER. FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP AND SCOUTING

VY checks down: I'm RUNNING, man...because, you know, everybody was covered...

[mraynrand]

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 2m
Not a good play for Brandon Smith. Corner loses James Jones, Rodgers finds him for a deep score.

THESE UNDRAFTEDS ARE SO UNRELIABLE

He's no more than a third stringer, just like Banjo

[pbmax]

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 3m
Newhouse much better against Perry this time. Rides him upfield. Perry frustrated.

MARSHMELLOW HEATING UP

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 3m
Van Roten beats Raji. https://vine.co/v/hMMIWdIJQWM

OK BJ STOP FOOLING AROUND. THAT'S IVY LEAGUE I THINK (WITH VIDEO!)

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 3m
Jolly destroys Patrick Lewis.

FATTER IS THE NEW BETTER

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 3m
Bakhtiari gets his revenge on Matthews withstanding his bull rush.

TOM, YOU FORGET TO SET THAT REVENGE STORY UP. HOW ABOUT A FLASHBACK?

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 3m
Brandon Smith picks off Rodgers on deep sideline throw to Tyrone Walker in 7 on 7s. Harris was in backfield

DISTRACTED AROD BY BEING SHORT

Robert Klemko @RobertKlemko 3m
Vikings WR Joe Webb and I discussed the positional meandering which has defined his career. http://mmqb.si.com/2013/08/13/the-qb...er-the-middle/ …

VIKINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER MEANDERING HE AND CHILLY OFF THE TEAM

[pbmax]

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 4m
Mike Neal spin move goes nowhere against Van Roten. In quick rematch, Neal does better.

SPINS OTHER WAY, DOESN'T TIP OVER FOR A FEW SECONDS

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 4m
There's a Young interception. Loyce Means picks off the QB.

MEMORIES LIKE THE CORNERS OF MY MIND

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 4m
At LT Newhouse stuffs Dezman Moses.

I AM OFFICIALLY OFF THE DEZMAN MOSES BANDWAGON

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 4m
Boyd rebounds with good arm under against Gerhart.

HE ISN'T GOING TO GET TO GO AGAINST A FULLBACK OFTEN

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 3m
Mike Neal vs. David Bakhtiari in 1-on-1s. https://vine.co/v/hMMtut1hWzB

VIDEO!

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 2m
Lane Taylor finishes drill with defeat of Boyd.

TUESDAYS PRACTICE REPORT THUMBS DOWN: BIGGER, LONGER AND BETTER

IF YOU COMBINED JAY BILAS AT NBA DRAFT WITH BOB MCGINN'S WRITINGS ABOUT PROSPECTS, YOU COULD CREATE A SOUNDBOARD THAT COULD DESCRIBE ANY ATHLETE AND ANY TIME AND BE LOGICALLY CONSISTENT WITH ANY PERSPECTIVE ABOUT A PLAYER, TEAM, OR OUTCOME OF A MATCHUP. ITS A CLUSTER OF MEANINGLESS NON-SENSE IN THE GUISE OF ANALYSIS. ITS TOO BAD BECAUSE BOTH ARE VERY SMART BUT ARE FORCED TO COVER EVENTS IN DUMB WAYS BECAUSE OF OUTSIZED PUBLIC INTEREST

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 4m
Good day of 1on1s for Jolly, won big twice over ban Roten n Lewis

QUESTION: SHOULD PACKERS CUT JOLLY, WHO WOULD SIGN HIM FIRST?

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 30s
Crosby and Tavecchio both go 8 for 8. Makes from 33,43,48,50,34,39,45,54

THAT'S ALSO NEXT WEEK'S POWERBALL NUMBERS.

QUESTION: SHOULD PACKERS CUT JOLLY, WHO WOULD SIGN HIM FIRST?

Always say Raiders, but Vikings and Philly close behind.

[mraynrand]

THE TWITTER WORLD IS NASTY, BRUTISH AND SHORT

[pbmax]

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 3m
Watched Harrell throw perhaps prettiest ball I've seen from him. Down right sideline, 30 yards downfield ... dropped by wide open Wilson.

STICKEM AND TEAR AWAY JERSEYS. JAMES STARKS WOULD BE AN ALL PRO IN THAT LEAGUE

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 11m
Since Family Night, Crosby has converted 18 of 20 field goals. Only problem for him: Tavecchio 19 of 20 during that span. #Packers

SINCE WATERLOO, NAPOLEON HAS BEEN GENERALING UP A STORM
SINCE WATERGATE, NIXON HAS COME ON STRONG
SINCE WATERWORLD, COSTNER HAS MADE BETTER DIRECTING CHOICES
SINCE PEARL HARBOR, NAVY HAS FOCUSED ON FEWER SHIPS, BETTER RESULTS
SINCE REVOLUTION, BRITISH ARMY LOOKING SHARP

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 14m
And Ross drops another ball in team pressure from Coleman

ITS ALWAYS YEAR 2 THAT IS THE BASTARD

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 12m
Brandon Bostick getting his hands on a lot of footballs. Another catch across mid on pass from Coleman in 3rd offense vs 3rd defense

ONLY HAPPENING BECAUSE HE PUT ON WEIGHT

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 9m
No huddle, Rodgers to Cobb for 8 then incomplete to Cobb down sideline with Hyde in coverage. .

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 10m
No. 1 secondary in to face Rodgers.

GOD SPEED NO. 1 SECONDARY

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 9m
Burnett breaks up pass to Finley over middle

COULD HE BE COLLINS-ING?

[pbmax]

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 10m
Rodgers to Walker on fourth down to keep chains moving.

TAKE THAT YOU NICK COLLINS WANNABE. ALSO NOTICE NO ROSS.

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 10m
Rodgers to Jones for 4 then defense jumps offside, could not tell who.

TOYING WITH THEM

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 9m
Shields breaks up slant on 2nd and 1.

IF IT WAS FROM OFF COVERAGE I WILL GET EXCITED

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 9m
Cobb beats House on a slant for a first down.

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 9m
Starks runs for 5 and 2 yards

NEW CAMP ACTIVITY: MATCH PLAY

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 9m
Third and 3: Rodgers to Boykin outside for a first.

ROSS IS DEAD. LONG LIVE BOYKIN AND WALKER

[pbmax]

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 9m
Cobb finished the practice but seemed to be favoring that injured bicep

HOW DOES ONE DO THIS?

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 9m
I'm no doctor, but Cobb looks like he's clearly in pain with that right biceps. Had wrapped, holding against body and seems to be wincing.

OK THEN.

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 6m
Ryan Longwell chatting with Mason Crosby after practice. Longwell also has a few words for Tavecchio. #kickingfraternity

UNNECESSARY HASHTAG. WE KNOW THEY ARE KICKERS APPLESAUCE

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 48s
Mike McCarthy will conduct his post-practice press conference shortly. Updates to follow. #Packers #Reporters #HeadCoach

[Guiness]

WORDS FAIL.

Acting much like the tweeters you quote, but...

SON, WE LIVE IN A WORLD THAT HAS WALLS, EVEN IF THEY ARE CALLED THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE BY THE FANCY TAILGATING AND SABREMETRIC CROWD YOU HANG AROUND WITH. THOSE WALLS MUST BE GUARDED BY MEN WHO RESEMBLE DANCING BEARS. AND ON THAT WALL, WE USE WORDS LIKE TACKLES, INTERIOR PLAYERS AND PAD LEVEL. WE USE THESE WORDS AS THE BACKBONE OF A LIFE SPENT TRYING TO KEEP THE QB UPRIGHT VERSUS HOARDS OF BOAT REFUGEES FROM MUSKEGON, CRYSTAL LAKE AND EDEN PRAIRIE.

YOU USE THOSE TERMS AS A PUNCHLINE. JAMES CAMPEN HAS NEITHER THE TIME NOR INCLINATION TO EXPLAIN HIMSELF TO YOU AS HE DESIGNS EVER MORE ELABORATE PLAYER ROTATIONS TO INCREASE THE AEROBIC CAPACITY OF OUR DANCING BEARS. WE WOULD RATHER YOU SAY "THANK YOU GREG VAN ROTEN" AND STOP TRYING TO DETERMINE HOW INTERIOR BEAR WILL BECOME A PART TIME TACKLE BEAR. OTHERWISE, PUT ON A PAIR OF BIKE SHORTS AND A BASEBALL CAP AND COACH AN NUTCRACKER DRILL.

you lose your stride here. That comment would consume approximatively 58 tweets. You have much to learn before you can make the big bucks at this like Silverstein and the boys. In this age of information overload, he succinctly summed it up with "Van Roten lining up at RT in this period." You have much to learn

McCarthy Post Practice PC 8-13-13

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 39s
McCarthy on Cobb's arm: Looked like it was bothering him at the end of practice, but haven't spoken to him since then.

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 4s
McCarthy on Cobb's biceps: "In Randall's case, I think it's probably something he'll be battling for awhile."

HOO BOY.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 21s
MM: Eddie Lacy and DuJuan Harris are on limited snap count.

Packer Report @PackerReport 58s
MM said tempo was "outstanding" after starting a period over because of subpar play.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1m
McCarthy on Hayward: It's going to take time. Has made progress last 5, 6 days. Have better idea on timeline next week.

HAS INJURED HAMSTRING

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 35s
McCarthy on Datko: Evaluation today, was told he is getting close. When he goes through process, will be cleared.

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 38s
MM: DuJuan Harris is ready, I might not be as ready as he is. See how he feels tomorrow. Lacy was put in limited category today.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 45s
MM: Ryan Pickett is where he needs to be. Has a personal situation. My understanding is everything will be OK.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1m
MM on Bostick: Great job in conditioning. Has to continue working at the little things. A lot to like about Bo. Plays different positions.

Packer Report @PackerReport 36s
For Bostick, it's details. "There's a lot to like about Bo. He plays every position as far as the tight ends." Open door for him w/injuries

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 26s
MM: Van Roten is getting better. Said last week, started rough, but he's clearly gotten better. He needs padded work like most linemen.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 36s
MM on VY: Not realistic to come in and get caught up with the other guys. ...Goal is to get him ready to play. Want to see him play QB.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 53s
McCarthy: Don't like when a guy is labeled as someone who doesn't fit your system. When a guy can win games, your system takes adv of that.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 29s
MM: He goes through the process, but he takes extra time with coaches to study offense.

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 28s
MM: Young is picking up some of little things that he wasn't really asked to do. Setting feet in snap in shotgun is an example.

Packer Report @PackerReport 42s
Coleman taking nothing but scout team in 11-11 but "those are important reps" MM said and they're graded.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 2m
McCarthy on Dorsey: A lot of football left. We have 3 games. No decisions made this wk. Availability important. Glad to have him back.
