Let's see him get by SPRIGGS™!

If Spriggs stonewalls him I won't be able to decide between excitement and complete disappointment.

An unproven force against a movable object.

Definitely sounding like Kizer with the early lead in the backup QB battle.

David Bakhtiari vs. Za’Darius Smith in 1-on-1s. Advantage Bak. There’s a reason he’s All-Pro first team.

Hell of a pass from DeShone Kizer, placing a fade pass perfectly down left sideline. Good grab by J’Mon Moore, plucking the football over Ka’Dar Hollman’s helmet and staying inbounds. Two guys who want to flash more. Pretty impressive.

Speaking of arm strength, Aaron Rodgers rockets a pass past a diving Kevin King to Geronimo Allison. Touchdown. Not sure how Rodgers fit the football in there. After the play, Rodgers stood back and flexed his right bicep.

#Packers offense as a whole, and backup QB DeShone Kizer especially, is having its best day of camp. Kizer hit Jake Kumerow in the numbers on a slant pass for another TD in red zone.

Rodgers slinging it in third and goal drill. Threw TDS to Aaron Jones, Robert Tonyan and Jimmy Graham from 10, 6 and 4 yards. Tonyan with one-hand grab.

Overall I’ve been really impressed by the first 3 days of practice with Matt LaFleur. Solid pacing, smart transitions, everything had a purpose and you could see improvement over three days. It’s better than I would have ever expected from a rookie head coach in his 1st camp.

[Joemailman]

So if Jones is at nickel LB, does that mean they've completely given up on Burks, aka the worst football player on the planet??

Um...no.

Burks-mentum.

Best thing I have read all summer.

@PackerReport
Trevor Davis on jet sweep with Jimmy Graham leading excellent blocking.

@PackerReport
With my abacus handy, I has Scott with 56.5 average and 4.44 of hang time on 11 punts.

#Packers DL Kenny Clark said he got a chance to speak with Mike Daniels on the phone after yesterday’s release. Clark said he mostly just thanked Daniels for the example he set.

Just asked Clark what he learned from Daniels and hopes to carry forward. His answer was expansive.

[pbmax]

Sounds like there are two different jobs inside this defense. Safeties filling one, Burks with another?

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood
With Raven Greene dropping back to replace Savage today, Josh Jones filled his spot as hybrid LB/safety. Greene was the hybrid this spring, when Jones was not participating. It’ll be interesting to see how the dominoes fall when Savage returns.

@ByRyanWood
Montravius Adams continuing to get first-team reps alongside Kenny Clark and Dean Lowry on the DL. A continuation from the spring, but more real with Mike Daniels no longer here. #Packers need him to step up big.

@ByRyanWood
#Packers punter JK Scot got 11 reps vs. rush. Had the wind at his back, and used it well:

48 yards, 4.05 seconds hang
38, 3.80
62, 4.46
60, 4.86
60, 4.65
51, 4.02
63, 4.46
55, 4.58
61, 4.80
62, 4.38
59, 4.58
Avg: 56, 4.42

Burks-mentum.

Burks is just happy the Patriots are not in the NFC

That is the part of Belichick I admire most. He sees a weakness, boom, twenty plays into that weakness. Its being a D coordinator that lets him recongnize a player who is lost or slow to recognize.

M3 had the same attack attitude, but it was formation and personnel group based. He did not study players on defense like Cheat does. So M3 seems Cover 3 bail (single high safety and almost pressing corners in single coverage outside) and he is throwing deep. Takes the better part of a half to recognize that its not working.

[Joemailman]

With the start of full pads today, maybe we'll start to get some reporting on the running game. With the conversion to an outside zone blocking scheme, the running game is going through as much a change as the passing game.

[pbmax]

At least it’s new injuries under the new regime

JimO JSO
Here early, Alex Light & Adam Pankey get second team looks at LT & RT for the #Packers

#Packers LB Rashan Gary also has support on his right arm in full pads. He had support during the rookie camp as well.

[RashanGary]

Gary really impressed in one-on-one drill. Beat tackle Yosh Nijman with a speed move outside, then beat LG Lane Taylor with a power move inside. Easy to see Gary’s athletic explosion in that drill.</p>&mdash; Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood)

[RashanGary]

In 11-on-11, Rashan Gary just came free on an inside stunt and, I kid you not, I haven’t seen a guy that big run that fast since Julius Peppers. Shot from a cannon. Would have been an easy sack. My goodness.
