Official Training Camp Thread

I feel like I'm one of about 5 people concerned about the kicking position. GB's margin of error is pretty slim this year and if Carlson sails kicks wide and costs them a few games, that will be pretty frustrating.
He's Bisaccia's guy and they will "weather the storm" with him, which is nice but I hope it pays off.

Also am very careful about any praise given to the defense. Last year proved that it was more the offense stinking than the defense excelling in camp.
RZ offense was a problem last year and continues to be a problem. If you can't punch it in the end zone and your kicker can't kick, you're looking at a bad record.

The position I'm most concerned with is k.

Good Job runpMc stepping up and giving us detailed reports, much like Joe has done other years.

I also am concerned - but hopeful - about Carlson as the kicker. I've always liked Goodson as a backup RB, Patrick Taylor too. Dillon is the one I'm kinda negative about. It's gonna be interesting when they actually start hitting, O and D both.

I'm one who doesn't put much stock in those PFF OLine numbers. What my eyes show - and I hope we can all agree, the Packers the past few years have done a great job with inside zone running/Guard-Center holes, and rarely have much success running outside. That tells me our Guards and Center are doing damn good, and the O Tackles not so much. It may not be quite so obvious, but my eyes see a helluva lot more pressure on the QB coming from the outside than inside - also indicating the interior linemen are doing the job, and the tackles not so much. And that stuff includes times when Bakhtiari has played - the reason I call him the sacred cow.

I googled it and sacks come twice as often from exterior pressure than from interior pressure on average. If you're seeing pressure from the inside anywhere near as much as from outside, something is very wrong.

Which is apparently where it's been coming from in practice. Josh Myers, you're on notice.

If I thought this team could get to the big game I would be worried. I would want Crosby back by now. Since this is a rebirth year, losing 2 games because of the kicker means better draft capital. If he isn't "right" by next year they will have a lot of competition around him, and a vet on speed dial.

After attending camp all of last week here are my takes:
Love looked shakey. He had some great passes and some that the receivers were not on the same page. I think his year will mirror how Rodgers first year went but that will be told. The defense will still hold hope as long as they are not overworked. Special teams will be great at returning the ball but the newly drafted kicker in camp has been lackluster...

Ah, the kicker. I hope we got us a Crosby and not a Conway.

Is it just me, or is the family night coverage terrible. Instead of showing Love in a team red zone period, they spend 5+ minutes on a stupid face swap thing

[call_me_ishmael]

They should really do a scrimmage again. This is such a disservice to the fans.

Myers isn’t even gonna be a starter since he sucks at snapping

Larry and the Rock said they thought it is going to be Toms as the 5th lineman and either Nijmam at RT or Myers at C depending who plays better between the two.

Yes, totally horrible. Trying too hard to make it family friendly. Not enough time focusing on the football for the football fans.

I think the only thing keeping Tom from being the #1 Center right now is that with Bakhtiari taking so much time off, Tom is often needed at RT. But the bad snaps can't continue.

Yep, the evidence is that it must be Myers because of all the previous fumbled snaps with Rodgers. And we know how Rodgers lets those things slide. /sarc

Honestly, its an issue, but past evidence (4 years of college included) would suggest its a blip on the radar. However my best guess right now is that its Yosh vs. Myers for the 5th OL spot and Yosh might just be winning that battle. Trade of Bak being the wildcard in all that.

Hmm...I should really read ahead before posting.
