Training Camp Thread

[GB-Brandon]

I really haven’t heard much from Lazard other then he had some catches on Jaire in one on one’s but then Jaire completely shut him down in 11 on 11’s. Apparently MVS had a good and his best practice yesterday.

I have heard Kirksey looks really good and the secondary looks great. I really hope Gary can turn the corner. Effort has never been the issue with him.

It’s pretty safe to say that the defense is ahead of the offense right now with everything being so far behind. Need to see what happens in upcoming weeks. Might even take 2-3 weeks into the season to really see what type of offense we have.

[GB-Brandon]

Lots of talk about the DB group playing cohesive and big upgrades over last years inexperienced versions of themselves. Not many secondary’s in the NFL faster and these are smart guys who have played together and stayed in the defense. Top 5 defense is very possible. Top 5 offense too. STs too!

Can’t wait!

I was mostly satisfied with the defense last year other then not being able to stop the run at times. The question is “Can they stop the Run?”

Not gonna be able to find that out yet.

[GB-Brandon]

I’ve also heard Tonyan is ahead of Sternberger right now.

[RashanGary]

Its shit or get off the pot for Tonyan. I like Jace’s smooth athleticism more than Tonyan’s stiffness, although I could see Tonyan take some snaps from Deguara early with the rookie being overwhelmed by multiple positions that require pass blocking, run blocking and route running and catching. That’s a lot to pick up in a year.

[texaspackerbacker]

I hope Sternberger is improved, but he looked like crap to me last season, and I think Tonyan was playing hurt last year. I'm rooting for Tonyan at that spot.

heard Love was very good yesterday in the two minute O. threw a beautiful deepish ball to Lazard. josh jackson is supposedly doing very well. he's playing outside coverage only (no slot). if that continues they could let king walk after the season if he's not resigned. they'll need every dollar they can save to make the 2021 cap.

True. I’ve pretty much given up on Jackson but if he can somehow play boundary corner at a high level.... Or Hollman, That sure would make keeping Aaron Jones a lot more possible.

I love king though, as much as I like Jones, I like King. And Bakh is almost non negotiable. Ugh, hard decisions to come. Let’s hope a few of the young guys make it easier to finalize the decisions.

[RashanGary]

It’s so much harder to get guys for 3rd contracts. Bakhs cap hit is 14.5M this year. Any contract he signs is gonna be so expensive. In the most ideal of worlds we’d luck into a LT emerging and then we keep both King and Jones. But since there are only about 10 truly good LTs in the NFL, odds are pretty slim there. Bakh is gonna be expensive. Period.

Ugh. Or we go into next year just desperately NEEDING a LT and one falls to us. Just a lot of Ughs when it comes to near future decision making. I’m deeply disappointed to lose any of King, Jones or Bakh and I’m pretty sure one can’t be kept without losing Alexander some day soon.

[RashanGary]

Move Turner out to RT next year. Go cheap at C and RG. Hope for the best at LT in the draft and sign Jones and King. Lol, that sounds like disaster! Maybe plug a guy like Solder or whoever 2021s near washed up LT is

Bakh doesn’t look negotiable.

Bakh, Jenkins, Patrick ensure Rodgers has a solid left side. Cut Turner and go young on the right side. That’s an option to keep King and Jones!

[GB-Brandon]

Well they only have Adams singed through 2021. In fact, they don’t have any receiver signed beyond 2021.

[RashanGary]

In a perfect world, Runyan and Hanson both pan out. That opens up the eject Turner option and keep the two talented homegrown at RB and CB. I just can’t part easy with the vision I have in the secondary.

[RashanGary]

Well they only have Adams singed through 2021. In fact, they don’t have any receiver signed beyond 2021.

Adams and Bakh are gonna be huge contracts. Those are the toughest calls cuz both guys are Packer HOFers approaching 30 as their contracts expire.

[RashanGary]

Jones might be the one who has to go. If Dillon and a reasonable Williams contract make that possible. In that event, Lazard/EQ development is almost a must.

It’s sure not looking like anything is guaranteed in the near future. But I guess that’s when if you draft and develop well, it all takes care of itself. In gute we trust

[RashanGary]

IN GUTE WE TRUST

[RashanGary]

Or maybe you let Aaron Rodgers and Davante go after 2021 and you have unlimited funds And a couple first round picks to stack Loves team! In Gute we trust!
