Everyone on defense practicing (who isn't on PUP) except LB Manoa Pikula.

Good showing by Jason Spriggs in the 1-on-1 pass rush drill. His athleticism is very evident in that setting. #Packers

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 59s59 seconds ago
Jason Spriggs with another really showing in one on ones. Met a bull rush from Nick Perry on Thurs and recovered. Held his own again today

Someone reported that Spriggs is 8-0 in one-on-ones and Clark is 5-0 in his. Clark reportedly looks very strong and quick. Two guys I'm looking forward to seeing tomorrow night.

Abbrederis with another nice snag on a 5 Yd lob from Rodgers

Packer Report @PackerReport 7m7 minutes ago
After bad ball to Janis, Rodgers ends with strike to Abbrederis for td to end red zone drill.

Michael Cohen @Michael_Cohen13 6m6 minutes ago
Jeff Janis drops a sure TD from Aaron Rodgers, ball a bit behind him. Next snap Jared Abbrederis snags TD from Rodgers on a fade. #Packers

IF MOST BAD THROWS ARE TO JANIS (AND LAST YEAR TO STRUGGLING/INJURED ADAMS) IS IT THE QB OR THE WR?

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 4m4 minutes ago
Abbrederis jumps high and rips a Rodgers pass out of Joe Thomas' hands and manages to land with both feet inbounds for a TD.

It sounds like Abby is having a nice camp so far. If he keeps this up he should make the final 53.

Forget me not: Before training camp is over, Beniquez Brown is going to be run through the test kitchen at inside linebacker to see what he has to offer.

On Saturday, Brown got some extended work at the nickel and dime positions in a highly competitive red-zone drill. Others such as Blake Martinez, Thomas, Jake Ryan and Carl Bradford have rotated through the two inside spots, but the 6-foot-1, 235-pound Brown has seen limited action.

^ I hope the kid sticks around, lotta info in his quote:

Brown didn't look out of place in the nickel and dime and even chased down running back Eddie Lacy for a short gain of a catch out of the backfield.

"I did it in college," said Brown, who was the weak-side linebacker in a 4-3 defense at Mississippi State. "But the techniques they want us to use here, it's something to get used to.

"The biggest thing is in college you didn't have as many tight ends. If they were tight ends they were blocking tight ends. Now, here you have guys who can block and will run a great route on you also."

yup. i always like guys with two last names.

Brown was graded a 3rd-4th round prospect, with the downside being (for his size) he's too slow. Seems he has good quickness. If he has the instincts, he could stick on the team. We've definitely had an issue finding instinctive players to plug into the middle of the defense. We'll see how he looks in practice during the 3rd preseason week.

E: He was graded *as high as* a 3rd-4th. Others had him as 6th-7th or priority UDFA.

Well, the inevitable happened. JSO has adopted the Gannett/USAToday/GBPG online publishing platform.

I wonder if I can still get them all in an RSS feed.

The big problem is that madison.com (WiSJ and CapitalTimes) has been terrible for years. Options are limited.

Early returns on Jones dropping weight and playing mostly outside are pretty positive. It would be a huge deal if he can raise his game, take Neal's snaps and provide an alternative to Perry and Matthews. He is long and not easy to get by as a QB trying to escape. He will make Matthews job easier if he can flush AND blowup a QB like Wilson.

Packer coverage in JSO and GBPG has been virtually identical for about a month, with the same articles in both papers. A couple weeks ago, they published an announcement about how the writers from the two would coordinate coverage and share articles. Too bad.

Yep. And rather than have their own beat reporter, WiSJ contracts to Gannett to include the GBPG coverage (at least they did, not sure of they still do with combined GBPG/JSO). Its really limited now.

I didn't realize that. I've never been a reader of the WiSJ. Years and years ago, I enjoyed reading three persepectives, GBPG, Mil. Journal and Mil. Sentinel. I was disappointed when the two Milwaukee papers combined for more reasons than just Packer coverage, but that was part of it. Now we have just one.
