Just saw what TE Marcedes Lewis can add. Drove Jake Ryan into the ground on a running play.

Soft 'n small!

Move it to the garbage can, PB.

Or is that Romper Room material since it's not hard 'n large?

Kumerow is making people forget All Pro Jeff Janis

Tex Has a Janis poster thumbtacked to his ceiling above his bed and beats off to it.

Well Tex isn’t allowed to purchase sharp objects so Cumby stepped up.

Pretty sure Fournette is going to miss his old mercedes a lot.

Lewis is why I really consider Jimmy Graham to be part of the WR group. Lewis will do the physical work that a traditional TE must do. The stuff that Graham doesn't do that well.

Cohen:

First look at 1 on 1s between pass rushers and offensive linemen:

* Kyler Fackrell with a stunning inside move to beat David Bakhtiari

* Three impressive wins for Montravius Adams, who has a nice swim move

* Justin McCray is really stout at right guard #Packers

Day 3, Saturday the 28th

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
Mike McCarthy said he'll be keeping an eye on rookies today during first day of padded work to see how they react to the jump in intensity.

McCarthy on WR Jake Kumerow: He's really been productive with his opportunities. He's climbing and scratching.

McCarthy on Justin McCray: It's nice to see him just play one position. He looks good and he looks like he's taken the jump you're looking for.

McCarthy on Kyle Murphy: Start him more at the right tackle, maybe little him focus there. If you can keep him on one side, especially with the footwork. If he's going to play tackle and guard you'd like to keep a guy on the same side.

McCarthy on RBs: It's going to be a very competitive position. It's a position that should show up today in the first day of pads.

Day 3, Saturday the 28th

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
We’re off and running. Jimmy Graham unhappy with S Josh Jones grabbing his face mask. Graham pushes away asst. Joe Whitt several times to get to Jones.

No sign of running back Aaron Jones so far.

Just saw what TE Marcedes Lewis can add. Drove Jake Ryan into the ground on a running play.

Crosby hits from 33, 36, 28, 40, 42, 46 and 50. Misses wide right from 48. Bradley had only bad snap. High, Scott got it down and Crosby hit a low-liner through.

New from JSOnline and PackersNews: Packers cornerback Quinten Rollins inherits linebacker role in dime package https://ift.tt/2AeL7oZ #Packers

In 1 on 1 pass rush Montravius Adams destroyed lesser competition. Good start, but now he must show it against Taylor and McCray.

Defense definitely showed more in one on one pass rush drill.

If you had to pick one of the #Packers backup QBs who has been most impressive it’s Eastern Kentucky rookie Tim Boyle. Has a rocket arm and has put it on the money in team drills.

THE PACKERS WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE STUPID AND NOT KEEP FUTURE ALL PRO BOYLE AND INSTEAD RELY ON SOME HALF BAKED VETERAN LIKE HUNDLEY OR KIZER

Practice ends with the a scuffle that turns into a play battle royal. Too hot to fight. #Packers

Michael Cohen @Michael_Cohen13
Day 3 is in the books: 2 hours, 41 minutes. Practice ended with a fight between OLB C.J. Johnson and OL Byron Bell. #Packers

Left guard Lane Taylor taking team reps for the first time. #Packers

First look at 1 on 1s between WRs and DBs:
* Rookie Josh Jackson had two tough reps against Randall Cobb, who looks sharp after ankle surgery
* The matchups between Kevin King and Davante Adams are excellent. Very good battles
* Rough session for Quinten Rollins

JK Scott punted five times:
40 yards, 4.77 hang
49 yards, 4.38 hang
45 yards, 4.91 hang
51 yards, 4.60 hang
48 yards, 4.84 hang

Rob Demovsky
Big moment for Kyler Fackrell: Beat David Bakhtiari in the 1-on-1 pass rush drill. This is significant for the third-year OLB because he had a 1-30 record in the drill his first two camps combined, including 1-18 last summer.

THIS IS PROGRESS!! REMAIN CALM!! ALL IS WELL!!

Here’s a player to watch: rookie LB @GreerMartini48. He’s on the No. 1 kickoff return front line. He’s also been getting snaps with the No. 2 defense at inside backer.

HIS FAMILY OWNS A BAR IN BEDFORD FALLS

First-round draft pick Jaire Alexander opened with the starters as the nickel cornerback. First time he's opened a period with the ones.

Mason Crosby 7-of-8 in first live FG session of camp. Missed from 48 but came back and made from 50. JK Scott held for all 8. Hunter Bradley and Zack Triner split the snaps.

Thank You pbmax, gets straight to the heart of what I'm most interested in reading.

Michael Cohen @Michael_Cohen13
Perry told reporters he underwent ankle surgery after the season but wouldn't provide additional details. Perry said the problem lingered throughout 2017. #Packers

Mike McCarthy says Quinten Rollins has come back really strong from the torn Achilles, which is why he was running with the starting dime defense the last two days. #Packers think he can play multiple positions. But we've yet to see Rollins really run. That will be telling.

McCarthy with some strong words for WR Geronimo Allison. Praises his "tenacity" and his approach to the game. Doesn't play like a tall, slender wideout. #Packers

McCarthy says he has no update on rookie OL Cole Madison. Still tending to a personal matter, unclear when he will report to camp. #Packers

Let the Tim Boyle hype begin!

https://www.packersnews.com/story/sp...ill/595311002/

General manager Brian Gutekunst signed Boyle not because of his statistics but because the rookie can drive the ball down the field and into tight spots with great accuracy. He signed him because the Packers haven't had a first-year quarterback with these kind of mechanics and athletic ability since selecting Rodgers with the 24th pick in the 2005 draft.Boyle’s athletic ability, at least when it comes to testing, is comparable with Rodgers. At 6-3½, 232 pounds, he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.75 seconds, registered a vertical jump of 35½ inches, a broad jump of 9 feet, 9 inches, a three-cone time of 7.03 seconds and short shuttle of 4.49 seconds.

By comparison, Rodgers ran the 40 in 4.77, had a vertical of 34 ½ inches, a broad jump of 9 feet, 2 inches, a three-cone of 7.38 seconds and a short shuttle of 4.32.

As to why he wasn't drafted:

After de-committing from Boston College because of a coaching change, he decided to stay home and play for the Huskies. Four games into his freshman season, Paul Pasqualoni was fired and interim coach T.J. Weist made Boyle the first quarterback in school history to start as a freshman.

He finished the year completing just 44.4 percent of his passes for no touchdowns with eight interceptions.

“I was just an 18-year-old kid, trying to figure it out,” Boyle said.

In his second start, he was sacked eight times and threw three interceptions in a loss at Cincinnati and in his fourth and final start of the year he threw three more interceptions. After the season, UConn hired Bob Diaco, who had a different offensive coordinator in each of the next two years, and ultimately settled on a different quarterback.

Boyle transferred to Eastern Kentucky in 2016, redshirted a year and then started all 11 games for the Colonels last season, posting a 119.4 rating. He completed 201 of 327 passes (61.5 percent) for 2,134 yards, 11 touchdowns with 13 interceptions during a 4-7 season.
