Official 2019 Training Camp Thread

So in Texas it's really only during Football in August is when we see. Maximum heat exposer. Never seen no practice at all but more of amount of time in the heat.

Who the fuck is Chris Burke, and why did someone give him a forum to speak about anything?

No idea who this person is, but the thinking is a little anachronistic. How many teams play in cold/mild weather climates, or in domes? Unless you're ARI or a Florida team, I'm not sure it matters past September. Working out in heat can provide significant benefits in conditioning -- especially when you move from the heat to altitude, or to milder weather -- but doing it to be "tough" seems like it could be taken to extremes or dangerous outcomes by some overzealous coach or S&C staffer.

Williams is #1 outside with King out. Brown is outside in nickel and presumably dime.

Based on the camp reports, I thought Brown had been playing outside. Seems like Pettine likes Tramon's smarts and versatility to play the slot, although I think it will ultimately depend on the matchups.

He said exposer, followed closely by never seen no.

@ChrisBurke02
When did the idea of “its too hot to practice” enter into American culture? ��*♂️

THIS IS A MAN WHO HAS NOT SUFFERED FROM HEAT STROKE WHILE PRACTICING. REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS WOULD OBVIATE THE NEED FOR THIS BUT SOME COACHES DON'T BELIEVE IN THOSE. I AM OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER BEING TOLD NOT TO DRINK ONE FUNNEL CUP OF WATER IN THE MIDDLE OF PRACTICE

@ChrisBurke02
I get it that we have to be careful and take precautions but the idea of canceling practice when it’s 90 degrees is not helpful for kids long term IMO

@tx_pierce
Dont disagree. I have never seen a canceled practice. That's extreme. And the heat exposure rules are heat over 100°

@tx_pierce
Burke. Are you watching the Rangers Angels game. Lol. They are saying Pitchers should warm up inside the cage and not outside at Arlington bc its "too hot" lol

Have they forgotten Korey Stringer already? Or the many high school and college football players who have died from heatstroke. The Kory Stringer Foundation puts it at an average of three per year.

Just a friendly reminder that I can't start the Game Day thread. Started it last week and the Packers lost.

Captain doesn't like to be kept waiting.

No harm intended, but how do you deliver the mail and post as well. Are you a 2nd or 3rd shift worker?

Took a vacation day today. Scheduled off this weekend. Don't normally post during the day.

Yeah, he's the 'postal worker' who 'delivers your mail' at 4AM. #porchpirate

Patler, death is a part of life. The circle of life, which means some must die; even if avoidably. Especially if its not the poster in the line of fire.

To avoid death is to allow doubt about someone else's toughness to seep into your consciousness, which is against several Constitutional amendments.

Blake Martinez said he didn't travel to the Oakland game because he wanted to get his back checked out. It had been a bit of a bother during camp so he wanted to make sure nothing was wrong. Tests revealed no issues, he said, and he was back on the practice field today.

Packers LB Curtis Bolton said he doesn't think he has an ACL tear but was vague about his prognosis. Also, WR Allen Lazard is in the concussion protocol after leaving Thursday's game vs. Oakland.

Doesn't sound like we should expect Bolton back anytime soon. Good to see Vitale back.

A total of 15 Packers not practicing: Allen Lazard (unknown), Eq St. Brown (ankle), Kevin King (hamstring), Mike Tyson (unknown), Ibraheim Campbell (knee), Curtis Bolton (knee), Oren Burks (pectoral), Malcolm Johnson (unknown), Kabion Ento (hamstring), Rashan Gary (unknown), Greg Roberts (abdomen), Cole Madison (unknown), David Bakhtiari (unknown), Jimmy Graham (finger), Reggie Gilbert (knee). Two players returned: Danny Vitale (calf), Ka'dar Hollman (stinger).

[Radagast]

With 3 preseason scrimmages in the books, the Packers have recorded a total of 4 sacks.

3rd team LOLB Reggie Gilbert has 2 Sacks.

3rd team LILB Brady Sheldon has 1 Sack.

and

4th team LOLB Randy Ramsey has 1 Sack.

No 1st or 2nd team Defensive players have recorded any Sacks, at all.

Let's hope that the final preseason game will see some production and not another "training project" exhibition. Both of the first team Defenses and Offenses need to be heavily involved in the last schrimage against KC. Without some real game work the Packers will be starting COLD in the opener against the Bears.

Sternberger isn't listed there. Does that mean he's back playing, or what?

[mraynrand]

Starters aren’t playing and no one is scheming. All the schemes will come out against Chicago. Maybe go see a movie on Thursday and skip the game. Save you some frustration.
