Official 2016 Offseason Workouts/OTA/Minicamp Thread

[Joemailman]

Workouts start April 18

OTA's: May 23,24, 26; June 1-3; June 6-9

Mandatory Minicamp: June 14-16

I would imagine Eddie's hopefully still svelte body will be a topic of discussion, as well as Jordy's knee. I think there's been some talk that Dickrod might come in lighter as well. We'll see.

Pete Dougherty, said he might end up in LeVeon Bell weight territory. Might be fun to watch that unfold.

That would be awesome. Bring back the Alabama Eddie.

Lacy vs. Georgia

[Upnorth]

Who is going to be the official packerrats press member attending for those of us who can't?

[George Cumby]

Lacy carried 20 times for 181 yards and two tds that game. Boy, you can see the talent and fire in those highlights. Hope this turn around is for real.

From this article and what the team needs are and what must happen in this draft:

Thompson’s signing of a tight end *Jared Cook"....who can run could prove to be big. His (TT's) failure to at least protect himself at inside linebacker could be big, too. His one must from the draft is finding one who can play in the nickel and dime, and play now.

Monty Injury Update: Good news, he's able to walk

Montgomery said the surgery repaired a torn ligament and cleaned out and reattached some loose cartilage on the talus, the large bone in the ankle that connects the tibia to the foot.

More photographic evidence that Eddie Lacy looks good after offseason workouts. RT @pwhitt: RT @UASignGirl:

Does he look a little too small?

[pbmax]

Barclay yes, Kuhn still wait and see.

BECAUSE HE IS A RETURNING HERO

Jordy Nelson said he's on track to do everything during first part of offseason program. Still discussing OTAs

OK, SO HE IS HEALTHY ENOUGH TO WALK TO A MEETING

#Packers WR Jordy Nelson has begun running routes as part of his rehab but said the process "will be a progression."

HEALTHY ENOUGH TO RUN A 1/2 SPEED ROUTE TO THE MEETING

Daniels on B.J. Raji's decision to step away: "It was awesome to get a chance to play with him, and I just made sure I let him know that."

Michael Cohen @Michael_Cohen13 23m23 minutes ago
Mike Daniels on #Packers personnel: "A lot of our guys that are backups could be starters other places — I’d say just about all of them."

HE'S BEEN READING WIST

Michael Cohen @Michael_Cohen13 27m27 minutes ago
Daniels is very excited for the return of #Packers LB Sam Barrington. "He has the same mentality as me. He’s coming to start a riot."

Michael Cohen @Michael_Cohen13 32m32 minutes ago
Daniels said he's very comfortable with Letroy Guion taking over NT for B.J. Raji. "You can’t win a Super Bowl with nice guys on defense."

Michael Cohen @Michael_Cohen13 32m32 minutes ago
Daniels said he likes Guion's propensity to "poke the bear" and go after an opponent who is known as a tough guy. "I love that about him."

Nope. Eddie is looking great and I'd much rather have this version of him than the slow slug of last year. Just because he weighs less, doesn't mean he isn't a powerful runner.

Correct. He was relatively easy to tackle last year because he wasn't hitting defenders with any speed. A 225 pound Lacy would be a beast.

IMHO, bingo & bingo. Remember, he had a toe procedure (that knocked him down a spot or three in the draft) that needs to be recognized. Lighter load to carry. Contract year, lightened up, reinvigorated....all good.

[Fritz]

He actually had a burst on a couple of those runs.
