Fuckin' Furburger.

He's on my shit list.

Not mine. Glad to see he's exploring every option to improve!!

[call_me_ishmael]

Not looking good for him. It doesn't affect anything right now though. He'll begin the season on the suspended list. Packers won't have to make decision until he's eligible. Meanwhile, he can practice and play in preseason games.

I recall posting a quote from Nagler about Jace dealing with stuff behind the scenes. I guess this was it. You hate to see it. Mental health ailments are awful.

That guy has just had nothing go right for him in his pro career. Hope he can get things turned around.

His suspension postpones the decision to either cut him or Dafney. I think I'm rooting for Dafney to win the 4th TE spot and Sternberger to hit the road (hopefully sober).

Has any one seen anything on josh Meyers? He is replacing an all Pro and I have seen nothing (which could mean great thing). No false starts no bad snaps I habe seen attributed to him. Any one see anything?

He's getting almost all the snaps with the 1's. Don't hear really anything about linemen in unpadded practices though.

Yeah I was curious about Myers and who they were trying out at the tackle spots with Elgton missing the latest camp days.
It's early and hard to really tell a lot about guys in the trenches because they're basically in helmets and shorts.

Myers absolutely needs to be given every opportunity to win the starting spot, at least thru the first week of training camp. If he sucks you'll see him pulled from the 1's, but I think he'll be ok as a rookie and improve from there.
I'm curious about all these G/T guys. Seems like they have a bunch of them, and most of them sound like they are better fits at G I'm wondering if it is Jenkins in Week 1 starting at T with Billy Turner.

Also -- does anyone think this Ben Braden talk is just feel-good smoke? Stenovich made it sound like he was competing to start, not just make the team.

Heard Kenny Clark was lining up a lot at 3T, or at least not at NT. Did they say who was playing the nose? Lancaster or Slaton maybe?

I think the plan is to have Jenkins at LT and Myers at C Week 1. So the real battle is at LG, whers Runyan is the early favorite. Watch Braden and Newman though.

I think Lancaster was getting snaps with 1's. Opportunity knocks for Slaton though.

Sternberger:

since when is alcohol a substance abuse issue?

and why did it take 16 months to do something about it

or has there been another incident?

Driving after drinking while on anti-depressants is the issue I think. NFL probably treats it as a DUI. Don't know why they waited until now to suspend him. Maybe they don't suspend guys who are undergoing therapy?

They probably waited until it made its way thru the courts.

[smuggler]

Meh, he's kind of a fringe player. Maybe he gets cut now or the suspension allows them a 54th roster spot. He doesn't seem like a cancer, so I'd give him a pass and just base my decision on his camp performance.

nfl suspends players all the time without waiting for justice to run its course

Since a few have mentioned him I'll add this. Larry McCarren did a piece where he said Myers certainly looks and walks like an NFL center (not sure what that means, but I think its meant as a positive).

Larry also hedged by pointing out no one had pads on and it was a 3 day mini camp, but if Larry is optimistic about what he has seen so far, that better than hearing negatives.

I’m excited about big bob Tonyan. I could see 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns this year from Bob.
