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

[Maxie the Taxi]

Well, TT was in no shape to kick FGs when playing for Houston either.

This is one of those problems that always makes me wonder: We have a nation of 300+ million people and 7 billion in the world. You would think among that population, it ought to be possible to get a guy who can kick a ball through the uprights reliably.

Or send kickoffs over the back of the end zone every time.

WE ARE BACK. TIME TO TALLY UP THE INJURED AND SEE IF ITS A GOOD THING TO HAVE AS MANY KICKERS IN CAMP AND QBS.

Brad Jones, Morgan Burnett and Casey Hayward all on sidelines with hamstrings. Bush, Nixon also out pic.twitter.com/AO4tBwVx9M

I BLAME BRETSKY FOR JONES INJURY. ALL THAT JAG KARMA BROUGHT OUR MAN LOW. REPENT BRETSKY!!
SERIOUSLY, JONES WAS HAVING A WHALE OF A GAME. AS A TALL ILB, HIS PAD LEVEL ACTUALLY MIGHT BE VERY IMPORTANT

My idea: Pair teams for week of offseason program in June. Joint practices, controlled scrimmage at week's end, to replace a preseason game.

MY NAME IS ALBERT BREER AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THE BUSINESS I AM COVERING IS A BUSINESS. TAKE EVERYTHING I SAY ABOUT THIS SPORT EXCEPT THE FINAL SCORE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. ALSO, I AM AN OHIO STATE FAN WHICH SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU I AM GOOD AT IGNORING HOW BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS GO ABOUT THEIR WORK

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 3m
Matthew Mulligan and Jordy Nelson are both back at practice with helmet

THEY GAZED IN WIDE WONDER AT THE JOY THEY HAD FOUND

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 18s
#Packers practice: WRs Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb are back.

I WOULD ACTUALLY PREFER COBB TO STAY OUT, LET THE BICEPS HEAL AND PRACTICE FOR WEEK 1

[Joemailman]

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
LB Brad Jones, CB Casey Hayward and S Morgan Burnett are all out with hamstring pulls. All three are present.

QB Vince Young taking snaps with the 2s.

WHATEVER THE ANTITHESIS OF NEWS IS CALLED (OLDS?), THIS IS IT

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 42s
Back in my day, they would have been handing out salt tablets on a hot day like today. Water breaks were a privilege not a requirement.

SAY IT APPLESAUCE, JUST SAY IT! TODAYS PLAYERS ARE SOFT AND GETTING INJURED BECAUSE OF ALL THIS WATER AND NOT ENOUGH SALT!! DOCTORS, SCIENTISTS, TRAINERS AND THE KOREY STRINGER JURY KNOW NOTHING!

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 1m
#Packers out: Bush, Nixon, Harris, Richardson, Hayward, Tramon, Burnett, Reed, B Jones, Tretter, Bulaga, Sherrod, Worthy

NOW I AM WORRIED ABOUT HOW THIS NEWS IS AFFECTING THE SHERROD FAMILY. WHICH MAKES ME RESENTFUL AND CONSIDERING HOLDING A GRUDGE AGAINST THEM. I HAVE BEEN PAYING TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO INJURY LISTS, HAVEN'T I?

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 2m
Nelson and Cobb are taking their usual turns with the offense. This practice is being conducted in shells.

CAN WE CONDUCT THIS PRACTICE IN BUBBLE WRAP?

[pbmax]

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 1m
Expecting three-man field goal competition to commence late in today's practice. They could charge admission for that.

THE HEAT IS GETTING TO APPLESAUCE

49ers Trying To Trade Colt McCoy

THERE IS NEVER AS MUCH UNBRIDLED OPTIMISM AS WHEN A TEAM IS TRYING TO TRADE A PLAYER EVERYONE INCLUDING VIC KETCHUP KNOWS YOU ARE GOING TO CUT

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 49s
As expected, RB DuJuan Harris is not practicing. He hurt his knee vs. Seattle. He is present.

TWITTER TOLD ME THESE INJURIES WERE MINOR. MCCARTHY IS A PANSY.

[red]

i have a theory that all the injuries are due to the lack of contact and lack of reps at practice

maybe the muscles, ligaments and tendons just aren't being built up the way they use to when you had 2 a days and were actually able to simulate real game situations with hitting and going full speed

i don't know, i wouldn't say players are soft, but maybe their bodies aren't being built and trained the right way anymore

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 5m
Short practice today. The focus appears to be on the second and third teams. May be corrections from Friday night.

IF SO, SHOULD BE A LONG PRACTICE

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 2m
Brad Jones not wearing helmet but still fielding his ILB position in walk through #Packers

NOTHING CAN KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN, EXCEPT AN UNEXPECTED BLOW TO THE HEAD

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 1m
#Packers have 85 players on their roster. 10 more must go by Tuesday afternoon.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 24s
Through this long, unit period, Vince Young getting a ton of snaps. A lot of catching up to do as the new No. 2.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 54s
WRs Charles Johnson and Kevin Dorsey are getting a lot of snaps.

I HOPE THE #1 O LINE IS OUT THERE

The Jets just might be desperate enough to make a deal.

T.J. Lang picks off Coleman during unit period.

I HOPE YOU ARE AS CONFUSED AS ME

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 1m
OLB Andy Mulumba (knee) is practicing after not playing in Friday's game.

I DID WONDER WHY PALMER GOT ALL THOSE SNAPS

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 4m
Nelson taking few snaps in unit but mostly young WRs. Big week for Charles Johnson and Kevin Dorsey, who both seeing a lot of work

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 51s
WRs Jarrett Boykin and Jeremy Ross aren't taking any snaps in this drill. Coaches have a book on them already and they've had plenty of work

THINK THEY WANT TO GET A READ ON DORSEY AND JOHNSON?

Problem is, like Thompson discussed a week or so ago, that we have very little public information about how many injuries happened in the old days. He says the numbers now are not appreciably different than 2005. Its hard to judge the efficacy of a training program without any data on results.

Don Barclay still working as No. right tackle

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 11s
QB Aaron Rodgers not taking any snaps during this long offensive drill. He's playing scout team. It's all Young and Coleman.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 9m
Jordy Nelson is running routes for Rodgers on the far end of the field.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 8m
Cobb is also running routes for Rodgers now.

DID THIS DURING PUNT COVERAGE WORK

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 8m
Casey Hayward just emerged from Don Hutson Center where he was rehabbing with others. Brad Jones, Burnett had been out here the whole time.

IF HAD TO GUESS, HAYWARD IS MORE SERIOUS

[red]

so, has M3 decided that a-rod is so good now that he no longer needs to practice with the rest of the team?

That's right. He just throws passes to the equipment manager in the Don Hutson center.

Trgovac with pads over his arms this drill with the defensive line. Some big holes for Seattle backs Friday night.

From 50 yards, all three are good again. Ramirez definitely has a strong leg.

TOTALS COMING IN A MINUTE CROSBY DOING WELL, BOTH SERGIO AND THE NEW BIG LEG HAVE MISSED
