In Play at the OTAs (2014)

It almost seems like this generation never talks directly to each other anymore, just electronically.

Good thing you and I don't do that!!

Raji on coming back on a one year deal and going back to nose. Says there was other interest but confirmed going back to nose was a big deal.

As skinny as the Center Field foul pole.

Yikes...feed that guy.

[smuggler]

Yeah, feed him 6 yard slants.

Do we know each other?

Toby Gerhart is a pretty good back. Not going to be great, by any stretch, but reliable and probably healthy. That is what the doctor ordered for the Jags.

He'll get a better shot there but can he stand up?

RB's take an awful punishing in the NFL.

I worry about our guy "Eddie". It took so long to find a RB with his talent.

I hope that Eddie Lacy learns to protect himself better. He might consider NOT being a battering ram style of runner.

Rodgers has been pretty vocal at OTA's about his disappointment over having to start over again at center. Just thought I'd throw that out there for the guys that claim it's not a real important position and any player can be plugged in to there at any time. When your pro bowl QB is getting pissed about the cluster fuck at the position directly responsible for getting him the ball and calling the line protections. You better get your head out of your ass and listen.

You can't change the way Lacy runs, that punishing style is what makes him a great commodity. Besides if he starts worrying about getting hurt, he WILL get hurt.

Agree with Rodgers that it's a PITA to keep having to work with a new C every year. If Tretter and/or Linsley pan out he won't have that issue. He has the whole off-season to get used to it. Tretter's a smart guy and Linsley made the calls at OSU, so it's not like they can't call line protections or get on the same page with Rodgers.

Saturday wasn't the answer and EDS got a better contract...I don't think there's a lot to be done about that. They have a couple of players locked up for a few years in Tretter/Linsley.

“Hopefully, we can get a guy who can stick for five or six years,” Rodgers said at his locker following Thursday’s OTA practice, for which Tretter worked as the center with the No. 1 offensive line. “As a quarterback, you appreciate when you can have some continuity there and some consistency.”

Oh yea he really seems disappointed...

That's about as outspoken against the organization as Rodgers ever gets, read between the lines. He's stated his displeasure about the rotating door at center before.

[Brandon494]

Obviously he wants some continuity at the center position after having a new starter the past 3 years but he is hardly pissed.

And now he might get it. Linsley is 22. Tretter is 23. Whoever wins the battle has a chance to be the starting Center for a long time. If the Packers had brought EDS back, they probably would have been looking to replace him in a year or two because of his mediocrity. The revolving door would have continued. Now there's a chance it will stop.

I see Tretter being our starter for the next couple of years. Obviously the kid is smart graduating from Cornell and I also liked how he stayed in Green Bay the whole off season getting ready for this year.
