Official Packers 2024 OTA/Minicamp Thread

[Fritz]

This is such a great and misleading time of year. One teammate says another teammate is a "savage," and we all take that for the Truth, baby! Jaire has his head on straight and he's gonna be great this year! McKinney is going to make sure that whole room plays like All-Pros! Chirstian Watson will never tweak a hammy again! Eric Stokes is running a 4.02 40! Drew Barrymore is gonna date Fritz!

You left out that Rashan Gary will have 20 sacks

[bobblehead]

And Jordan Love is going to sign a super team friendly deal for $400 Million over 10 years.

What do you mean misleading? Aren't all those things basically locked in guarantees at this point?

[Patler]

And Jordan Love is going to sign a super team friendly deal for $400 Million over 10 years.

Isn't that something? To realize that $400million earned over 10 years would be very team friendly even in year 1?

I think Stokes official time was only a 4.17. The rest is money in the bank though. And Fritz, we want pictures.

LOL...the union would disown him if he signed that.

[Joemailman]

I don't think so. I believe teams have to spend at least 89% of the salary cap over a 4 year period. As long as that is happening, I don't think the union would really care which players get the money.

I haven't mastered photoshopping pictures or using AI generated images yet.

Starting OL today:

Walker - Jenkins - Myers - Rhyan - Morgan

Defense:

Smith - Slaton - Wyatt - Gary
Wilson - Quay - McDuffie
Stokes - Valentine
McKinney - AJJ

Josh Jacobs gets his first team action as starting RB.

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

After working back from hamstring injury, the training wheels are off. Josh Jacobs gets first reps of team period for first time this spring. They’re just in shorts, but Jacobs showed some real burst on stretch to right sideline. Looks like that hammy feels fine.

Bill Huber
@BillHuberNFL

Love to Melton for a 75-yard touchdown. Bomb with Johnson closest in coverage.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

AJ Dillon looks a bit more svelt this year. In a great way. He’s built but looks like much more lean muscle. Bit more hop in his step.

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

I don’t know who was supposed to block #Packers rookie LB Edgerrin Cooper, but no one did. And when he gets downhill, it’s like being shot out of a cannon. Would’ve dropped Josh Jacobs for a 3-yard loss.

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

Rashan Gary just steamrolled Jordan Morgan on a bull rush. Drove right over him to the ground. Pads or no pads, welcome to the NFL, rook.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Carrington Valentine all over a deep throw to Heath. Valentine ran the route better than Heath. Previous play McKinney all over Musgrave incomplete. Outside of the deep ball to Melton; defense has been sticky as hell so far.

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

Jordan Love had frustrating rep with Josh Jacobs open in right flat, but held it searching for play downfield. Bigger play never developed, and Love had to eat it for sack. Immediately pointed to Jacobs, “my bad.”

Those 2 using spring for what it’s meant, getting acquainted.

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

Replying to
@ByRyanWood
Jordan Love finds Josh Jacobs open over the middle. This time, Jacobs doesn’t turn his head around in time. Jacobs immediately raises his hand, “my bad.”

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

Jordan Love just dropped a dime deep middle to Dontayvion Wicks…dropped. Wicks running a step open on Eric Stokes, and Love didn’t miss. Hit his WR in stride, but Wicks couldn’t hang on.

Matt Schneidman
@mattschneidman

Second kicking period:

Carlson good from 41 and wide left from 45.

Podlesny good from 43 and 46.

Joseph good from 42 and 44.

In total, 11/12. Carlson with the only miss.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Two minute drills coming up!!!

1:20 left. Ball on 25. 0 timeouts. Tie game. Number 2’s up first. 1st & 10.

Clifford deep for Heath. Incomplete. Ballentine with great coverage.

Bullard in coverage in the slot on Sims. Fantastic coverage & pbu. I think the ruled it a sack

Matt Schneidman
@mattschneidman

Looked like Javon Bullard had two PBUs, though one should’ve been an INT on a deep ball that bounced off his face.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Joseph from 54 - good.

Podlesney from 54 - good

Carlson from 54 - good

Great overall days from the kickers.

Matt Schneidman
@mattschneidman

After two-minute drill for the 3s, Joseph, Podlesny and Carlson all hit from 54.

Then they make all three kick from 53 with team huddling around them spraying water and going nuts.

Only Carlson hits and he gets mobbed. Practice over.

Great to read, but Jaire wasn't playing?

[Joemailman]

Great to read, but Jaire wasn't playing?

He was there, but not practicing.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

He was there, but not practicing.

OTA! Are you fucking kidding me! OTA! Not a regular season practice. Not even a dumb preseason practice. But a fucking OTA practice!

Zach Kruse
@zachkruse2

Packers WR Bo Melton said he can't help but eat cheese curds even though they make his stomach hurt.

The legend grows.

[Fritz]

Anders Carlson responding well to the competition. And his teammates mobbed him after he made the last kick of practice, so they must like him okay, at least better than that punter they drafted a few years ago - what was his name, Scott Pussypants?

I also think Whelan will be better this year, having had a year’s experience.

For their team-building crap they do every year, Whelan should show them how to play rugby.
