2015 Packers Training Camp and Triage Center

I'm more excited about the ballhawking secondary than I am concerned about Rodgers throwing INT's. I'd be more concerned if the secondary weren't able to stop anything Rodgers does.

I do wonder if Rodgers is pushing himself to take more risks.

Question is this: if Shields, Hayward and Hyde are healthy, does Randall have a role? They seem to be grooming him for a lot of ST work.

On this team? Just wait a few seconds. Shields and Hyde get injured on every other play - almost as often as Terry Glenn. Randall will play on the outside in the dime (which probably means a decent amount of time) and in relief.

Packer Report @PackerReport 24m24 minutes ago
Demosky asks about Rodgers throwing 5 INTs in practice thus far. "The good news is you're paying attention," MM says.

Packer Report @PackerReport 23m23 minutes ago
MM says three or four were competitive balls, giving guys chances to make plays.

I take 2 things from this:

1. Rodgers is challenging his receivers to make plays.
2. The defensive secondary is at times outplaying the Packers vaunted receiver corp.

Entirely plausible.

I do like that the top pick AND a UDFA (Gunner/Gunter) seem to be stepping up and that there is still time for Rollins to come through as he missed very little camp. Makes the DB depth chart seem less shaky right now.

MM said he thinks AR is making more throws in practice that he wouldn't in games to give guys opportunities to make plays.

I seem to remember his Int's in camp last year were high compared to his career norms. It didn't exactly lead to a sub-par season.

McCarthy is in seriously deep water.

Vince Ostrowski @VJ_Ostrowski
I've found the PERFECT @JSComments post. This will never be topped, in my mind.

Vince forgot to mention a quarterback who throws it to the other team. And which of those seven are detested but not hated?

[Patler]

Nelson has another perspective on AR's interceptions:

Just as Rodgers’ decisions may be different in camp than they would be in a real game, so might the receivers’ actions, according to veteran Jordy Nelson. He explained that a 50-50 ball in camp can put a receiver in a tough spot, because he’s always going to try to make the catch no matter what, whereas in a game, a receiver in a disadvantageous position might break up the pass and make sure it’s not picked off.

Right now, in early August, no one is going to give up the chance to shine, especially when on the field with the two-time MVP.

I haven't read anything about Haha Clinton Dix. Is he a non factor?

[Bossman641]

Rodgers seems to always throws INT's in camp when he wouldn't during the season. I think he likes to test the receivers and see who wins the 50-50 balls.

He has gotten some run on being strong in coverage on TEs. There isn't live tackling so run D is harder to comment on, but I think he got one commendation for filling gaps quickly while on D. Not sure if he has picked AR off though.

Hayward's hamstring not an issue:

"nothing more than a precautionary thing" "It’s not bothering me"

I call BS on that. Methinks he doth protest too much.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 2h2 hours ago
Starks showing good patience and gliding through creases.

STARK PLUG!

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 2h2 hours ago

BRADFORD NOT HAVING THE BEST CAMP

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 2h2 hours ago

Hayward has Blanchard picked off in end zone and drops it.

HAYWARD BEING AT EVERY PRACTICE IS A PRETTY BIG STEP FORWARD - ALSO NOT SAYING MUCH

Weston Hodkiewicz @WesHod 2h2 hours ago
Hayward almost picks Blanchard and crossing pass for Janis. Then Randall almost picks Hundley on pass behind Pinkard

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 2h2 hours ago
Backman with a nice block on Rasco on outside run. Allowed back to cut back.
