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

[pbmax]

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 38m
Rough start in half-line run drill for Bakhtiari. Beat first by Matthews, then Mulumba

LESS PROMISING

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 35m
Scrums/punches all over the place. Wow. Van Roten and Francois at it. Finley throws punch at Jarvis Reed. Sitton/Greene even talking.

TWENTY TWEETS ON FIGHTS BETWEEN PEOPLE WITH HELMETS ON. OTHER WORDS, NO NEWS. AT LEAST FINLEY IS SMART ENOUGH TO PICK ON SOMEONE HIS OWN SIZE

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 35m
And then Finley throws a bolo at someone who threw a punch at him. Jolly comes over and shoulder blocks Finley. Quite a melee.

MONEY IS ON JOLLY NOW

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 35m
Kevin Greene and Josh Sitton even jawing back and forth

REALLY LIKE HAVING KEVIN AND JOSH AROUND

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 35m
Mike Neal getting his foot checked out by the trainer.
Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 34m
Mike Neal is getting re-taped.

LIKE PATLER DOES WITH GAMES, I AM GLAD I READ BOTH THESE TWEETS AFTER THE FACT TO AVOID THE MINUTE OF SHEER FRUSTRATION OVER ANOTHER NEAL INJURY

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 34m
And Young continuing to get third team snaps over Coleman in team run #Packers

DEAR BJ COLEMAN, YOU HAVE BEEN PUT ON NOTICE

[pbmax]

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 33m
Nick Perry finally shows up. After blowing up a run play, he drops back and picks off a pass across the middle.

HE JUST STARTS SLOW. BY THE PLAYOFFS HE WILL BE AT ALL PRO LEVEL

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 32m
Jeremy Ross with a great catch over James Nixon.

BOYKIN IS GREAT, I AM ROOTING FOR ROSS

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 33m
#Packers QBs in team: Harrell throws long TD to open White; Young doesn't appear to know play on handoff; Coleman throws INT to Nick Perry.

BACKUP, PRACTICE SQUAD/WAIVER, GRAD ASSISTANT

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 32m
Andrew Datko jumps and is pulled by Campen.

DIDN'T HE DO THIS YESTERDAY TOO?

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 30m
Sam Shields beat deep by Omarius Hines but wideout can't haul it in.
Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 30m
Coleman with a great deep ball to Hines. Could have been caught.
Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 31m
Omarius Hines gets behind Shields but Coleman overthrows him by a step or two

ITS LIKE JURY DUTY AND WITNESSES

[pbmax]

Holy cow. This is how you end a fight.

[pbmax]

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 29m
Graham Harrell can just sit back and watch Young and Coleman win him #Packers No. 2 QB job. Young just threw awful INT to Brandon Smith.

THATS NOT HOW COMPETITION IS SUPPOSED TO WORK JASON

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 28m
I'm watching 7-on-7s but @RobDemovsky reports Mike Neal has returned and is taking part in 1-on-1 pass rush at other end of field.

WHEW

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 28m
Bakhtiari is 2-0 to start the day in 1on 1s.

NEW CONVENTIONAL WISDOM. RUN BLOCK? MAYBE. PASS BLOCK? YES

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 29m
Rodgers with a beauty into arms of Finley over Burnett 30 yards down field

NOT BAD FOR THIS 3RD PRACTICE. SEE ABOVE FOR PERPLEXING MCGINN DETAIL

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 27m
Mike Neal comes back with a vengeance when he rushes from the inside. Spin move leaves Lane Taylor in the dust.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 27m
Donte Savage beats Barclay around the edge.

[pbmax]

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 28m
Bakhtiari wins again in 1 on 1s.

DONT JIX IT DONT JINX IT

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 28m
Working with scout team in 7 on 7, Young's next two passes a bit better. Finds Finley.

REMEMBER WHEN THE PACKERS WERE STAFFED WITH VERY INCONSISTENT QBS? THAT WASN'T FUN THEN EITHER, THOUGH A LITTLE EXCITING AT TIMES

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 24m
As pointed out by #Packers writer Mike Spofford, while Cobb is in uniform, I've yet to actually see him take a snap, unless I missed it.

ITS A GOOD THING THERE ARE 20 BEAT WRITERS

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 22m
Crosby put a couple of kicks through from 60 during warm ups using holding device.

MAYBE MASTHAY IS THE PROBLEM

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 22m
Neal first 1on1 reps of camp, 1-1 from OLB beat Bakhtiari lost to Newhouse, --1 from DT, beat Taylor n lost to Lang

TODAY'S FIRST REVELATION: RAJI MIGHT SEE FEWER SNAPS EVEN IN NICKEL

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 18m
Good. In at practice and can't make calls. RT @ccsabus: you hear on Lacy? @ProFootballTalk saying minor precautiony issue

BEAT WRITERS AT PRACTICE, STORY BROKEN FROM GUY IN HOME LOCATED IN WEST VIRGINIA

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 14m
Both kickers go 3 of 4 today. Crosby good from 36, 46, 53 and missed WR 51. Tavecchio good from 36, 51, 53 and missed WL from 46.

BACK TO LEVEL PAR

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 8m
Finley false start, followed by EDS false start.

CONCUSSIONS FROM FIGHT

PRACTICE OVER FEW MINUTES EARLY, NO NO HUDDLE

[wist43]

Savage is a guy I want to know more about - if any of you rail birds has any updates.

Would like to see him tried in the middle - with Capers as our DC though, we know he prefers ILB's to be as invisible as possible.

[run pMc]

Savage is a guy I want to know more about - if any of you rail birds has any updates.

No updates from camp, but these are his workout #'s from New Mexico State's Pro Day in late March:
6'1, 247 pounds
40 time: 4.80
Bench press: 20 reps at 225 pounds
Vertical: 32.5"
Broad Jump: 9'6"

Savage played in all 12 of the Aggies' games in 2012, posting three sacks, seven tackles for loss, and two blocked kicks while playing defensive end. He sat out the 2011 season (I've read conflicting reports of medical redshirt and academic ineligibility) but in his junior year of 2010 he posted another three sacks to go along with two forced fumbles. In his sophomore year of 2009, he put up six sacks, two forced fumbles, and a blocked punt.
GB is a little thin at OLB and he was a DE, so I could see him fighting Mulumba for a spot as a backup/ST player.

MCCARTHY PC 8-7-13

Packer Report @PackerReport 50m
Lacy out today with hamstring. No information to be concerned about long term. Had been bothering him.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 49m
MM: Eddie Lacy missed practice with a hamstring injury. Alex Green feeling good, missed Tuesday due to swelling in the knee.

Packer Report @PackerReport 49m
Green looked good after missing yesterday with knee, MM said. Neal passed physical and did work in individual drills. Went 2-2 in 1-on1's.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 49m
MM: Mike Neal is working at some specialty stuff at OLB, but he's a defensive linemen.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 49m
Mike McCarthy; Bryan Bulaga has decided to have surgery on his knee.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 49m
MM: Bulaga will be lost for the season as expected.

Packer Report @PackerReport 48m
MM on Young: "He knows how to play quarterback, he knows how to win." Hard part is learning verbiage.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 46m
MM: Greg Van Roten needed to pick it up in the spring and start of camp, but he's really picked it up the last couple of days.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 46m
MM on young WRs: Getting a lot of reps. See cohesiveness whole group has with the QB. Been impressed with every one of them.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 45m
MM: Graham Harrell has had a steady camp. ...Practice, been ups and downs. Clearly has taken a big step forward.

Packer Report @PackerReport 45m
Starks, Green responded well to addition of new backs. Top to bottom, competition never been so good.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 45m
MM: Johnathan Franklin is steady. Did some good things in the scrimmage. He'll continue to learn and get comfortable. He's very consiste...

Packer Report @PackerReport 45m
MM said has talked about scrimmaging another team "but it doesn't work for us" based on his training camp plan

Packer Report @PackerReport 45m
Is it fair to Barclay to not line up RT every snap? No, but it's best for team, MM says.

Yeah, I saw his pro-day workout... I liked what I saw of him - but a guy running around in shorts does not a football player make.

Still, I liked what I saw, so I'm anxious to see if he is a guy who stick and progress.

[arcilite]

Anyone know how Nick Perry's camp is going? I saw a Jason Wilde tweet earlier about how he hasn't really done anything meaningful thus far.

Think we will be able to count on him as a contributor this year?

A couple of positive mentions, only one bad one I remember (scrub O line stopped his pass rush twice).

He has one of the winning records in 1 on 1 pass rush. But not too many wow plays. In camp, some players don't get attention for just doing job. Matthews doesn't get many mentions either, though Wilde hasn't dinged him either.

[pbmax]

Thursday Practice, 8-8-13

Lacy and Cobb warming up and look ready to practice.

Tons of O line out. Lane Taylor's wife apparently having a baby.

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 28m
No TJ Lang. Don Barclay at right guard with ones in exchange

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 27m
No pads, will be short practice w game tomorrow, but Cobb lining up w starters, was limited yesterday w biceps injury

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 26m
No Andrew Datko either. Mike Daniels working as an offensive lineman in offensive scout for exchange drill #Packers

Mike Vandermause @MikeVandermause 26m
Lining up with No 1 defense during walk throughs in secondary: CBs Shields and House; safeties Burnett and Jennings.

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 25m
#Packers out: Dorsey, Johnson, Harris, Richardson, Hayward, Tramon, L Taylor, Lang, Tretter, Bulaga, Datko, Sherrod, Quarless, R Taylor

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 24m
#Packers more out: Nelson, Worthy.

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 23m
With Lang absent Barclay playing RT with No. 1 oline

EVEN THE WRITERS DON'T KNOW WHERE BARCLAY IS LINING UP

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 18m
Eddie Lacy is out here with his helmet but I have not seen him take a snap yet.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 53m
OK, not so good for Vince Young. James Jones picked him off in a jog-through.

[denverYooper]

If true and Perry is just doing his job, that should be a huge boost to the D. We already have evidence that he can lay the wood in a game. If he can handle the rest of the gig competently, that'll be a big step to eliminating the Keystone Kops D.

[pbmax]

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 50m
The backups are getting most of the reps today. They're the ones who will be playing the most.

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 48m
R Taylor, Nelson, Worthy. Lacy also not practicing

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 49m
All not practicing: Dorsey, Johnson, Harris, Richardson, Hayward, T Williams, Taylor, Lang, Tretter, Bulaga, Datko, Sherrod, Quarless,

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 44m
Coleman not sharp. Goes 4 of 9, drive ends with a great break-up by Jarrett Bush on short pass to Stoneburner.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 44m
This past week, Coleman has regressed. Have to wonder if giving him first team period today a sign MM plays him a lot tomorrow night.

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 43m
Cobb on the field with one offense

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 40m
Crosby 52-yard FG attempt is "fire" drill on air. Masthay scrambles, throws 34-yard TD to open EDS, yelling "Check me out! Check me out!"

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 39m
With Cobb limited with the bicep, it's all Ross and Omarius Hines on kickoffs

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 37m
I think we can officially say RB Eddie Lacy is just here to watch even though he has his helmet.

They have their starting and only viable center playing an eligible position on a FG drill? And people said Wolf didn't value offensive linemen enough....
