Janis with a diving catch on an out route. When doesn't this guy make a great catch?

WHEN HE HAS SHINGLES

Asshole...I just spit coke out my nose. (soda, not cain)

I disagree. Bishop blew 2 assignments, and MM couldn't get past it. I just watched Peppers blow one assignment in 10 plays. Think he rides the pine for 2 years? And yes, I am convinced his assignment wasn't to push upfield to the point he couldn't effectively contain. Pushing so far upfield that the RB has a monster lane to run through is not called keeping containment even if he technically ran inside of you.

Normally there is a responsibility to stay parallel to the LOS (or as Banaczyk said in the Press Gazette, not to turn away from the sideline). He also has to squeeze a gap with the guy next to him. Whether it was Daniels or Jones, he was moving away from both but wasn't tracking the RB at the time.

Another scuffle, lost track of count. This one features Jarrett Bush and T.J. Lang. Two vets going at it.

MY MONEY IS ON BUSH

I'm thinking the fight lasts about 30 minutes for Bush to win.

So you're agreeing with me right?

That play to me looks like it's Daniels fault. Jones was in perfect position in the C/G gap. Peppers had outside contain. It looks to me like Daniels pushed to far inside to be able to cover the G/T gap. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/201408...26&tab=analyze

Yes. Whether he could have made the play with Daniels crashing inside AND Jones inside is debatable. But going upfield and turning in made no sense.

Rodgers working with the second team O-line in red zone drill. Very unusual.

PACKERS PREPARE FOR FIRST 4 GAMES IN PRESEASON. AFTER INJURIES, THAT WILL BE THE STARTING O LINE IN GAME 3.

Classic!

IS JANIS BILLY SCHROEDER REINCARNATED?

He better not be. That guy was a moron.

Yeah I'm betting MM was going on more than just those 2 assignments.

Please read this article (smart football at Grantland-Chris Brown), paying particular attention not to the LeSean McCoy sweep that gashed the Packers in gif form, but the practice organization.

And tell me who else we know that runs his practices that way.

Not good. Chip is likely to get assassinated when the NFL can't get enough commercials in. Seriously though...call me when he starts going for it on 90% of 4th downs.

Report Lyerla has torn MCL and PCL. Or to simplify things, he has a knee. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...s-torn-mcl-pcl

McCarthy has been doing almost everything Kelly is noted as doing for several years, including the GPS tracking of player movements during camp and practice.

The one new thing is the sports nutrition guy they officially hired this year. One observable change has been those energy bars they are handing out in practice. While the Eagles had that position filled last year, they got rid of fast food in the locker room. Johnny Jolly was having the rookies by KFC on Tuesdays.

As Brown covers in his piece, even if someone like the Packers started mimicking him, they might still be behind in interpreting the data from the GPS/Australian Rules football training protocols. We'll see.

When did MM start with the GPS stuf? I thought it was just this off season?

The article made a somewhat big deal of Kelly using his center to pull. Mike Sherman did that a lot with Flanagan. Some say Dermonti Dawson was the first center who pulled regularly. I don't know if that is true or not, but it certainly isn't a Kelly innovation.
