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

This is getting even more ridiculous. If it turns out he's gone for any length of time, then I'm going to cry myself to sleep tonight after drinking a bottle of wine.

...

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Packer Report @PackerReport 36m
Datone Jones rolled ankle late in practice. Same one, McCarthy adds. Mulumba out with knee. "Blew up in meetings last night" Tests ongoing.

You know things are bad when guys are suffering injuries in meetings.

WHAT KIND OF PROTEST WILL red STAGE WHEN BUSH IS ELECTED TO PACKERS HALL OF FAME?

In local news, a naked man going simply by the moniker "red" is standing outside lambeau field and refuses to cover his bush until the packers remove theirs.

McCarthy Post Practice Wednesday

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 35m
MM: Andy Mulumba has a knee injury. Just blew up in meetings. Going through tests. Not sure of his availiability with Seattle.

Seriously...how fucking unlucky is this team with injuries....guys getting hurt in meetings now?? WTF!!!

[bobblehead]

Per MM, Datone Jones turned his ankle, the same one he hurt two weeks ago. So either you keep 'em out forever and they never progress (Sherrod, Quarless) or you put 'em back on the field and they immediately get re-injured. For whatever reason the Packers under TT and MM are cursed with injuries. When did the curse first appear? Was it Justin Harrell? Terrence Murphy? The curse needs a name.

In other news, JSO reports that MM says that Andy Mulumba's knee "just blew up in meetings". Hopefully that is just a figure of speech, not a comparison between Mulumba and Dustin Keller. If it is a comparison, that is probably good news for someone like Sam Barrington.

I heard Sherrod was cleared to practice, but fell off of an 8 year olds bike on the way over and tore his labrum...surgery is scheduled for Saturday. MM says it will cost him a few more days.

didn't like the ankle again for datone.

Its after the coach says "I didn't know he was here" that you have to worry.

I was gonna say, get rid of both those scrubs and bring in Dan Carpenter and Rian Lindell and let those two hash it out...but I just saw they both got picked up.

Waited too long TT, waited too long.

Apparently, TT didn't wait too long. It was reported yesterday that the Packers contacted Carpenter, but he chose to go to Arizona instead.

Packers kicker will probably be either Carpenter or Jay Feeley. One will be released by Arizona in the next couple weeks.

If you turn it a couple of times it becomes more prone to injury - I speak from experience.

I'll take either one over Crosby - and his competition now in camp - in a heartbeat!

I am rooting for Feeley for two reasons: one, he is a walking contradiction of terms - a good Michigan kicker - and two, I tagged him with the nickname Jay "Touchy" Feeley many years ago.

The reason Carpenter isn't still in Miami is probably that he missed 2 games each of the past 2 years. A kicker missing games is a big deal since teams seldom keep 2 kickers. I'd prefer Feeley who has shown he can kick effectively in cold weather. Don't know if Carpenter has done that much since he played for Miami.

[Guiness]

A kicker who misses games is a really bad thing, you have to find someone and quick! I know TT has done it in the past, but I'm not so sure he's in that kind of shape anymore.

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.
