Official 2019 Training Camp Thread

[Anti-Polar Bear]

The NFL sack leaders are Daeahon Hall Brian Burns Reggie Gilbert Marquis Haynes and Duane Hendrix. I have a feeling the regular season might be a little different. It’s relax time. It really is.

Sacks aren't everything in the preseason. Otherwise, Michael Sam woulda - and shoulda - made the Rams.

It's about competition. If Gary ain't motivated to hustle til the whistle for snaps against Emmitt Smith's sons and the Mormon of the Midway, nothing else will.

Gary is a bum.

I'd like to see our base be a 3-3 like I've been calling for forever.

We actually have the personnel to run it effectively now - sans Gary. Really worried about him. He has not looked good at all. Don't think he can play standing up, and if that's the case he might be a wasted pick. Not to mention all the other negatives surrounding him.

They run a 3-3. They run it to match nickel personnel and when, I expect, their tendency chart says a run is still possible.

This profile of Gary suggests that his best role might as an inside player, and they may have been right. That's not all bad, as Pettine puts a lot of emphasis on generating inside pass rush.

This would be somewhat promising and reassuring if the team was using him inside. Because right now he is playing OLB. He might get some inside snaps at a 3T, but that is purely situational at this point. Might be all he is fit to do this year.

You suggested his best role might be on the inside

I just noted based on all comments that is not what GB sounded like they thought they were getting.

There were two elite ILB's in the draft last year; I don't think anybody would have drafted Gary thinking he's best suited as a ILB. In fact, his lack of hustle in running down plays at time, and at Michigan, really suggest he's not the type of relentless player you'd like to see chasing down players from the inside

You have to relax a tad. One numbnut on a website says inside. Gary isn't big enough to be there 24/7 so that guy was only seeing part of the picture. Unless he is also suggesting Gary gain 15-20 pounds and be Santana Dotson.

When I said inside, I meant 3 Tech, not ILB.

They'll run a lot more 3-3 this year... we simply don't have the ILB's to run very much 2-4 or base 3-4.

Gute is going to have to invest in ILB'S next year... no getting around that.

At this point I'm assuming Burks will be cut, jury is still out on Bolton... our best hope is Summers.

Or sign a late cut like Morrison last year.

The strength of #Packers defense is deep DB room & versatile EDGEs

Get offenses into 3rd & medium/long = bring on the dime personnel & move around the chess piece rushers!

Gary, Preston, Za'Darius all standing up here on L.O.S. in a 1-4-6 defense w/ Adams only DT

Packers have a deep DB room, but the question is always will enough of them be able to ambulate out of the room and actually play?

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers still being held out of practice on Sunday with back injury.

I'm beginning to wonder if he will take a live snap in a game prior to the opener.

Frustrating.

Alexander is the #1. King pushes him when heathy.
Brown has stayed healthy. He’s fast. Looks decent.
Williams is a savvy slot corner. Would hate to see him on the boundary

That’s just barely enough to get us through a game

King and Hollman being back would make it more comfortable to start the season knowing if we lose one or two we can still get by.

Jackson might be a good backup slot corner. His size and ball skills and lack of speed makes that spot a little more natural for him.

#Packers safety Darnell Savage Jr got a good jump on DeShone Kizer’s pass to Jimmy Graham, breaking it up. From the sound and reaction, Graham at least jammed his finger on the play. Maybe worse. He immediately ran inside the Hutson Center.

Manny Wilkins hits Allen Lazard in the end zone through A LOT of traffic for a five yard touchdown. #jumpybump action ensues.

Matt LaFleur just scolded Dexter Williams heavily for a failed play during a red zone drill. Told him to “get out” and now he’s standing off to the side.

Trevor Davis, who’d been out with stinger, back in pads today.

Alex Light took first-team reps at LT in Bakhtiari’s place. Third tackle is Light’s job to lose.

Josh Jones remains out with an illness.

[RashanGary]

Alex Light turned into the player we hoped Spriggs would be. We need a decent backup tackle with Bulagas history and likelihood of leaving next year and Bakh getting a little older.

[RashanGary]

We have 4 guys with 4.37-4.43 speed at corner. And the 4.43 guys is 6’3” and as agile as they come so might as well think of him as 4.37 too.

Alexander
King
Hollman
Brown

That’s a lot of speed outside. Williams and Jackson a little slower so they stay inside maybe

CB/S Josh Jackson is taking part in team drills for the first time since coming off NFI with a foot injury.
