Official Packers 2024 OTA/Minicamp Thread

[RashanGary]

AJ Dillon looks completely different with his physical condition. I think he had that wake up call that he almost 2 year honeymooned in door county his way out of the league.

[Bretsky]

Considering Bretsky felt he was unworthy of the WR poll Doubs name came up a lot on those reports. Go to guy bitches!

And Bretsky still undoubtedly thinks' he's still unworthy )))

[Bretsky]

I think Carlson will win the job, but the Packers' interest in Bates suggests that Carlson might be on a short leash.

I think Bates was the dude who hit a couple 60 yarders (one at 64) and several over 50. Huge Leg. He's probably going to choose a team that gives him a signing bonus to come in and try out. Who knows

Josh Jacobs is not at today’s second minicamp practice. An excused absence for the #Packard running back. He participated yesterday and has been in Green Bay throughout offseason program.

Team drills upcoming.

Starters

Walker - Jenkins - Myers - Rhyan - Dillard

Gary - Wyatt - Slaton - Smith
Walker - McDuffie
Valentine - Ballentine - Stoked
Williams - Bullard

Wes Hodkiewicz
@WesHod

Wilson blitz off strong side and Love lobs a ball to sideline, which Wicks SOARS to bring down and touch toes inbounds for a nice completion

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Caleb Jones just blocked Jonathan Ford right to the ground. A battle of behemoths and Jones won that round.

Meanwhile Edgerrin Cooper with a potential “sack” of Clifford but more of a coverage sack if anything.

Nice little inside run by Emanuel Wilson.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Peter Bowden the first long snapper up with Podlesney kicking. Orzech comes in for Joseph. I have no idea if these kicks are good or not. No nets and an impossible angle to see. Orzech stays in for Carlson. The consensus seems to be that all 3 kickers went 2/2, 6/6 overall.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Love to Bo Melton. Melton went and got it low with Vallentine in extremely tight and fantastic coverage. Good play all around.

Rashan Gary just absolutely smoked Dillard. Dillard on the ground.

Love to Watson over the middle, complete but Evan Williams would have had him dead

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

Christian Watson beats Carrington Valentine to middle of field on in cut a couple reps later, good separation, and Jordan Love doesn’t miss. Sharp start to team period for QB1 today.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

MarShawn Lloyd with a sick one handed catch on a screen pass that goes for around 20. Lloyd caught it and just immediately burst right past Slaton. Nice play by 32.

Love to Doubs for a nice pickup. Sapp right there to make a play but the ball beats him. Nice play from 10 to 87.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Arron Mosby just beat Jordan Morgan clean for a would be sack of Clifford.

Morgan follows it up with a false start.

It’s been a tough start to OTA’s and minicamp for Morgan.

Rochell with a fantastic pick of Clifford. Clifford’s 4th pick of minicamp.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Clifford throws a deep wobbler to DuBose. Incomplete but maybe some DPI. Evan Williams with some pressure off a blitz.

Lecitus Smith with a low snap to Pratt who does a nice job handling it and completing short over the middle.

Pratt high and behind Toure who can’t hang on.

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

Jordan Love to Christian Watson, middle
Love to Malik Heath, slant
Love to Luke Musgrave, screen
Love to Romeo Doubs, slant

Nine straight completions before finally tossing one incomplete to Heath, though Corey Ballentine would’ve had a sack. Still.

Jordan Love is having a day.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Move the ball period.

Love to Watson over the middle for a nice pickup.

Dillon run outside. Eric Wilson all over it. Wilson’s received more time at LB and for the most part he’s delivered.

Brenton Cox and Karl Brooks all over an inside run to Dillon.

Love to Heath on a slant for a first down. Quay lined up on the edge that play with Preston inside.

Play action TE screen to Musgrave for about 6 (would have went for more in a game).

Doubs finds a hole in the defense and Love finds him. Offense cutting through the defense atm.

Love to Heath incomplete. Ballentine with a would be sack off the edge.

Love to Wicks in the flat. Short gain.

Lloyd for about 4 but that was the first time he tried to get to fancy. Tried to make one too many cuts and fell down. Should have been a bigger run.

Love to Reed for a first down on 3rd. Nice play to get separation by Jayden.

They end the drive there.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Deslin Alexander beats Luke Tenuta for a would be sack on Clifford.

Clifford fires downfield it nobody there. Been a tough couple days for the 2’s on offense.

Keshawn Banks comes crashing in for a would be sack of Pratt.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Two minute drill. 1:18 remaining. 1 timeout. First and 10. Ball at own 25. Down 20-18.

1’s up first.

Love deep to Doubs on first. Overthrown by about 5 yards. Solid coverage from Valentine. Doubs would have had a chance if it was on him.

Love over the middle to Wicks. Behind him and nearly picked on a diving INT attempt by Quay. Ball falls incomplete.

Love fires complete to Reed for a first down over the middle. Clock ticks.

Love to Musgrave for about 14 on a deep out. Also got OOB. McDuffie couldn’t stick with him.

41 seconds left. Ball on 39. First down. Still have the timeout

Ball batted down at the LOS.

Love escapes pressure and scrambles for 7. Timeout. 3rd & 3 upcoming. 33 seconds left. No timeouts left. Ball on 32.

Love complete to Doubs for a first in front of Evan Williams. First down. Clock ticks.

Clocked ball.

2nd down. Ball on 21. 21 seconds left. No timeouts.

Illegal formation on the offense. Moved the ball back to the 26.

False start on the offense. Moved back to the 31. Offense imploding here a bit.

Lloyd inside handoff to the 25. Another false start on the offense. Back to the 30. Under 10 seconds clock should have been nuked and defense should have won but they allow a clock of the ball and a Podlesney kick “wins it.”

Extremely sloppy for the offense at the end. No matter the simulated outcome id call that an L for the offense.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

2’s up next. Same situation.

Clifford to Stanley complete for about 6. Out of bounds.

Clifford sacked. Couldn’t see by who. Timeout offense.

Jonathan Ford bats down the ball at the line.

4th and 9 upcoming.

Hafley brings aggressive pressure. Clifford runs away from Cooper and completes the pass but short of the marker. Defense wins.

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood

Jordan Love had one bad throw. Behind Dontayvion Wicks on slant. Quay Walker should’ve picked it from trail coverage, but dropped it.

Love then engineered 2-minute drill to get in range for winning fg from 49 yards. Completed 3-6 for 47 yards.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

3’s up next. Same situation.

Pratt to Heath. First down and OOB.

Pratt to Heath on a slant. Dropped. Not the worst thing. Would have been a short gain and clock would have run.

Pratt to Pearson on a checkdown. Clock runs.

Pratt to Wilson in the flat. Loss of yards and clock runs. Timeout. 4th & 5 upcoming.

Pratt to DuBose maybe complete. Impossible to tell. Offense gets the first down.

Hard count leads to a false start on the offense.

1st and 15. 40 seconds left. No timeouts.

Pratt checkdown to Merriweather. 3 yards. Clock ticks.

Pratt fires a seed downfield into a hole between Rochell and Sapp. Ball gets to Melton but Melton can’t come up with it and it falls incomplete. Rochell stays down after the play. Yes definitely shook up but walks off on his wk power. Packers move to final fg period with loud music.

Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL

Final kicking period with loud music and crazy teammates all around them.

Podlesney - Wide left.

Joseph - good!

Carlson - good!

Podlesney - good!

Joseph - good!

Carlson - good!

That does it for day 2 of minicamp! Next open practice will be the first day of training camp!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Holy fuck, Mailman. Corners are a-blitzing again.

Ain’t gonna lie: I miss Dom Capers. Ole Dom used to blitz corners all the time. Hopefully we see Stokes blitz from the outside out of the “Psycho” this season!

[Joemailman]

I think Bates was the dude who hit a couple 60 yarders (one at 64) and several over 50. Huge Leg. He's probably going to choose a team that gives him a signing bonus to come in and try out. Who knows

Reports are that Bates is signing with the Lions.

[Fritz]

Will the kicking coach be the Master of Bates?

Maybe the Packers just want to keep scaring the Swedish boy.

Lots of talk about Rasheed Walker, about Jordan Morgan, even Sean Rhyan. Not a word about "I got rolled" Royce. Should be some intense competition on that offensive line.

I doubt Newman has much of a chance unless there are injuries to other O-linemen. He has a cap hit of 3.2 million due to contract escalators (Because he started 16 games as a rookie). They can save better than 2 million b going with a young guy.

[bobblehead]

Considering Bretsky felt he was unworthy of the WR poll Doubs name came up a lot on those reports. Go to guy bitches!

Michael Thomas was my original comp on Doubs. 120 Catches for 1208 yards. 92 first downs. You heard it here first.

[MadtownPacker]

Good call! That’s a number 1 no doubt. Seemed like he never dropped anything and caught many most would drop.

[Scott Campbell]

Reasonable cases to be made for 5 guys emerging to be our #1.

It's good to be us.

[Bretsky]

So you are predicting 120 catches for Doubs ?

[Joemailman]

So you are predicting 120 catches for Doubs ?

If Doubs can do for a full season what he did against the Cowboys in the playoffs he will have 102 catches for 2567 yards and 17 TDs. So no, not 120 catches.

[MadtownPacker]

So you are predicting 120 catches for Doubs ?

That was Brees pulling a Rodgers to Davante thing with Thomas to get those numbers.

[texaspackerbacker]

So you are predicting 120 catches for Doubs ?

With the Packers receiver situation as well as Love's tendency to spread it around, I'm pretty sure none of them will come close to 120 catches - and it still will be a great season.
