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

[pbmax]

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 29s
Coleman looking sharper than Harrell today. Rolls out for completion to Nelson, then finds Myles White for 20-25 yards up right sideline.

>>COLEMAN DID MISFIRE EARLIER, BUT HARRELL THREW THE BALL BEHIND JOHNSON WHEN HE WAS INJURED

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 32s
WR Charles Johnson, injured earlier, emerges from Hutson Center walking on his own.

>>AND ...?

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 36s
Harrell fires a bullet to Ross in coverage. A lot on that one

>>NOT DONE YET. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED HARRELL ARM STRENGTH HAS IMPROVED, BUT NOT YET AT RODGERS LEVEL AND NOT THE CANNON COLEMAN HAS

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 1m
Rookie WR Charles Johnson, who went down earlier and left practice, is back out here and has his helmet. Yet to do anything, but good news.

>>PHEW

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 57s
Josh Boyd wraps up Franklin for no gain. Quick for his size. Time to get the pads on, though.

>>NICE TO HEAR

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 58s
I still think James Starks would be a really good player if he was ever healthy. And I understand that's a big if. But, talented. #Packers

>>YES, EVERYONE HAS BEEN SAYING THAT SINCE THE 49ERS GAME IN THE SUPER BOWL YEAR

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 36s
Alex Green with his best run of camp. Made two quick cuts in the hole and got to the edge for a big gain. Didn't see that last year.

>>MCCARTHY MIGHT PROVE TO BE CORRECT THIS YEAR

[pbmax]

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 2m
And he fumbles the exchange again. I couldn't see who the center was.

>>THAT'S TWO FUMBLED EXCHANGES FOR RODGERS. NEW CENTERS? EDIT: IT WAS BARCLAY.

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 1m
Rodgers and Barclay out after two fumbled exchanges. Harrell and EDS in

>>QB CONTROVERSY. TIME TO BRING IN TEBOW. HIS FUNDAMENTALS ARE FLAWLESS UNTIL HE WINDS UP

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 2m
Undrafted rookie OLB Andy Mulumba with a nice drop and breakup of pass to Taylor. Kid worth watching. #Packers

>>OLB DEPTH NO LONGER TUMBLEWEEDS AND ZOMBO

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 2m
One guy who has caught everything today is Ill. St. WR Tyrone Walker. He has really nice hands.

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 2m
Angelo Pease showing some burst on catch out of backfield. He faces long odds with so many RBs ahead of him on depth chart.

>>SOMEONE HAS TO STEP UP AND BECOME EVERYONE'S FAVORITE UDFA/LOW ROUNDER WITH IMPOSSIBLE ODDS OF MAKING ROSTER. WHO WILL IT BE?

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 2m
TV Timeout #NP Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire

YOU BET

[pbmax]

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 3m
By the way, Charles Johnson is back. Not participating but he's walking around. pic.twitter.com/0jO3yC5Aut

>>STILL COULD BE ANYTHING FROM TWEAK TO END OF SEASON

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 6m
Jennings with first team defense in 7 on 7

>>MCCARTHY JUST MESSING WITH US NOW

SI_DougFarrar @SI_DougFarrar 5m
@TyDunne Dynamic around the edge, good pop off blocks. Surprising speed for size. Not a dominant guy, but a good rotational under tackle.

>>SCOUTING REPORT FROM SENIOR BOWL

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 4m
WR Kevin Dorsey has his helmet on but he hasn't taken any reps since pulling up.

>>TWEAKED SOMETHING ON ROUTE AND CATCH EARLIER

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 27s
Myles White makes a play in 7 on 7. Leaping grab up up left sideline.
Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 4m
Without Cunningham and seventh rounders #Packers down to eight WR in practice. White and Walker continue to have their moments

>>UNREAL

[Maxie the Taxi]

All this news and commentary but no mention yet of "tackling." Maybe that's part of the "fundamentals" drill. I sure hope so. Maybe Dave Robinson's right and no one on the coaching staff knows how to teach tackling technique.

[pbmax]

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 27s
Franklin handling all punt returns from jugs machine during special teams period.

>>STILL ROOTING FOR ROSS

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 1m
In team n 7 on 7 Randall Cobb has Ben wide open on catches, getting serious separation

>>HAVING TWO CBS ON SIDELINE MIGHT BE A FACTOR

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1m
Clay Matthews showing Mike Neal some pass rush moves on the sideline.

>>CLAY SHOULD ASK FOR COACHING PAY AS WELL WITH NEAL AND PERRY

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 1m
And the final TV timeout tune for #Packers is Jammin' by Bob Marley. Is this on McCarthy's iPad?

>>AOR RADIO DJS HAVE TAKEN OVER AT PACKER CAMP

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 5m
No huddle drill now.

>>ITS BACK, WITH FEWER RECEIVERS AND FEWER DBS TO RUN IT

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 5m
Starks the No. 1 back today.

>>AT THIS POINT (EARLY), ONE OF THE VET BACKS LOOKS CERTAIN TO GET ENOUGH REPS TO LOCK DOWN JOB. OTHER MIGHT WELL BE TRADE BAIT LATER IF HEALTH HOLDS.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 4m
Burnett goes over Cobb for a breakup, but PI called, leading to a lot of groans from the defense.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1m
Rodgers gets sacked by McMillian.

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 2m
Tramon Williams nice breakup of Rodgers pass to Jordy Nelson.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 53s
Don Barclay took the snaps at center with the offense that final drive. Had the two botched exchanges earlier.

[pbmax]

No pads until tomorrow. Padded practices are limited by CBA.

Fundamental work is probably better termed individual or position work. M3 hinted this would be a focus this camp.

Packer Report @PackerReport 50s
#Packers practice ends with Boykin TD but thought Mulumba would have had sack. Mulumba intriguing prospect at olb.

>>HIS SECOND MENTION

McCarthy Post Practice Press Conference

Packer Report @PackerReport 1m
No final report on injured #Packers WRs Charles Johnson or Kevin Dorsey.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 1m
McCarthy: Practice sloppier than yesterday. ...Good work in no huddle. Looking forward to fundamental work.

Packer Report @PackerReport 43s
Barclay/Rodgers snap issues: "That's the hardest footwork (Barclay) has from an assignment standpoint." Irritated with his play selection.

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 51s
MM: We think Barclay is heck of football player. He's earned opportunty to compete for starting spots. Never have enough centers.

>>I AM PRETTY SURE YOU CAN HAVE ENOUGH CENTERS

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 50s
McCarthy on Starks: James doing better in pass pro, checkdown area. Very natural plays yesterday/today when timing was right.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 44s
McCarthy on Jolly: Johnny's in better shape today than he was in OTAs. Still has work to do. Being smart with Jolly. Have to be realistic.

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 22s
MM: Jolly is off to good start.

Packer Report @PackerReport 11s
MM on Alex Green: sees him running with more confidence with knee. Had "excellent" first day. "Looks like he's back running w/confidence."

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 9s
McCarthy: Green's issue has been volume. ...Something he struggled with last year with the knee injury.

Packer Report @PackerReport 17s
Tyrone Walker, who had three catches in four-play span ... muted praise from MM. Pads go on tomorrow, for Walker and everyone else.

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 58s
MM: Training camp is about padded practice. Looking forward to that.

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 38s
MM: Place-kicking competition will take place every other day. Reps will be higher.

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 1m
The musical selections are a "delegated responsibility," McCarthy says. Music sounded more up his alley today, however.

>>CAN'T SEE M3 DIGGING BOB MARLEY, BUT HE WAS RAISED IN THE 70S

[pbmax]

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 39s
More from McCarthy on tomorrow's practice: “We have three hours to be on the field tomorrow. We’re going to max it out.” #Packers

Packer Report @PackerReport 52s
Johnathan Franklin on punt returns: Everyone must have confidence he can field ball and make good decisions. Then play within scheme.

All this news and commentary but no mention yet of "tackling." Maybe that's part of the "fundamentals" drill. I sure hope so. Maybe Dave Robinson's right and no one on the coaching staff knows how to teach tackling technique.

if thats part of the "fundamentals" training, then they need to spend a whole hell of a lot more then just 15 minutes on it

Weren't they in shells today and tomorrow will be the first practice in pads?

[red]

Weren't they in shells today and tomorrow will be the first practice in pads?

i would be fine with the whole team sitting on the ground around a tv monitor watching a 30 minute video called "introduction to tackling for beginners"

or an hour long instructional video called "how not to let that splinter in you pinkie end your season"

[bobblehead]

so M3 seems happy with how well sherrod is progressing and looked today. hmmm

wasn't it mentioned earlier in the day that he isn't doing any of the drills, he's just jogging with his teamates from drill to drill?

hell, i can do that....

while drunk

m3 might be optimistic, but its been over 20 months since the injury, and he still can't practice . times running out on the kid, and he's just missed so damn much learning time

Foolishly I am going to repeat my Justin Harrel line.

The man is physically HUGE and gifted. He slides so naturally. Guys like him get extra time and chances.

[bobblehead]

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 25m
Bush nickel CB with Hayward n House out, but Hyde had good day yesterday in that role

>>HOPE FRIENDS ARE WITH RED WHEN HE READS THIS

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 24m
Johnny Jolly working inside with Datone Jones in nickel.

>>THIS HAS TO BE RUNAWAY OPTIMISM OR A RUN DEFENSE BECAUSE JOLLY IS NOT A PASS RUSHER

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 23m
Charles Johnson goes down. Getting checked out by the training staff right now. Doesn't look good.

>>I'M SURE IT WILL BE JUST A FEW WEEKS

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 24m
Rookie WR Charles Johnson is down and being attended to. Left leg got caught underneath him on slant pass.

>>DID HE INJURE HIMSELF OR DID SOMEONE LAND ON HIM IN SHELLS!?

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 24m
Johnson walks off on his own power.

>>STORY TIME. OLD EAGLES LINEBACKER BILL BERGY WAS INJURED IN A GAME AND THEY QUOTED HIS WIFE IN A LATER STORY SAYING SHE WAS HAPPY TO SEE HIM ABLE TO WALK OFF UNDER HIS OWN POWER, BUT THEN REMEMBERED AN OLDER LB WHO PLAYED WITH BILL. THAT GUY DID THE SAME THING AND THEN NEVER PLAYED AGAIN. THIS WAS BACK WHEN LEECH TECHNOLOGY WAS NOT AS ADVANCED AS IT IS TODAY IN THE TREATMENT OF KNEE INJURIES. TURNS OUT BERGY'S KNEE WOULD HEAL FINE EXCEPT HE HAD A STAPH INFECTION SET IN AND COST HIM A YEAR I THINK. POINT OF STORY, WALKING OFF THE FIELD DOESN'T MEAN A DAMN THING.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 25m
Randall Cobb first up on punt returns. Ross No. 2.

>>I DON'T LIKE THIS CAMP YET. ONLY GOOD NEWS IS JONES AND MUSIC THAT UPSETS THE CHATTERING HENS OF SPORTS MEDIA

I knew when rbaloha was pimping Johnson something bad would happen to him.

[red]

and to me this is starting to feel like the harrel pick

the only difference is, i really hated the harrel pick, and i really loved the sherrod pick

like harrel, we might not ever see if the guy has what it takes or not

[Joemailman]

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne
No major changes to those out: Sherrod, Neal, Cunningham, Dorsey, Johnson, Harris, Worthy, Richardson, House, Powell, Hayward, Tretter.
