Official 2014 Packers Training Camp Thread

[Guiness]

packers signed WR Gerrard Sheppard off waivers from Baltimore. http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/269292151.html

He's 6-1, 211. Spent last year on Baltimore's practice squad.

Another WR? What are they possibly going to do with him, I'm sure they already have too many even for camp bodies. Are WR's this year's TE?

I have heard a few different people say Linsley looks really good and Tretter looks so so. Has anyone heard/seen anything similar to this? I still think Linsley is a better center than Tretter so it wouldn't surprise me.

Linsley had a rough go a day ago in one on ones, he was beaten a couple of times. But I haven't read much else on him.

Same article: Flynn WAS injured.

Flynn looks like his throwing arm is livelier than last year, when he still was suffering from elbow tendinitis that dated back to training camp of 2012 with the Seattle Seahawks.

Why do you think that? IMO, McCarthy has shown that if someone is better at a position, regardless of your pay or status on the team - you ride the pine.

I can think of a few instances where MM valued a veteran who is generally available more than he should have. I think we can all agree that Newhouse didn't belong on the field last season from about week 8 on.

Also from this article:

Nose tackle B.J. Raji looks rejuvenated. He's been getting excellent push on most of his one-on-one pass rushes, and in two different run-blocking drills (half line and one-on-one) the first two days he's pushed his way into the backfield several times

I think Burnett will be fine this year. No worries there. He'll have a partner who can play, whether it's Hyde, Clinton-Dix, or even Richardson, and he'll have a breakout year, I believe.

Nice to see OLB Nick Perry practicing for the first time. Packers now have no players left on PUP list.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 2m
Defense giving Nick Perry a ton of reps on his first day of practice since last year. He's been at his favorite spot, ROLB.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 2m
Just saw Peppers do something #Packers OLBs constantly fail to do. Protect the back side. Didn't commit himself so cut back run would occur.

Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky 13m
Nick Perry takes his first team rep. He and Neal were OLBs. Matthews also on the field.

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 2m
Sean Richardson is having himself a terrific day. #Packers have always liked him. Is safety battle getting even more interesting?

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 4m
S Sean Richardson is the three star player of practice so far. He's everywhere. Leveled TE Richard Rodgers.

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 5m
Richardson with another strong period. LaDarius Perkins has a little wiggle. Thought Linsley has looked strong again

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 5m
LaDarius Perkins just turned heads in 11 on 11 with a quick cut and burst upfield. Built a lot like Harris at 5 foot 7, 195.

WOO-HOO!!

Damn, I wish I was over there this morning.

[Guiness]

No one left on PUP? Wow, nice. When did Neale get back?

[pbmax]

Neal started practicing yesterday,

[Cheesehead Craig]

Perry and Sherrod practicing? Be still my heart.
