Official 2024 Packers Training Camp Thread

I think Love last year had a tendency to force deep passes to Watson that were covered, leading to INT's. Right up until the last pass he threw. The jury is still out on how good Watson will be, but at worst I think he is a rich man's MVS.

Perhaps the jury wouldn't still be out if he didn't have the hammy problems?

K competition is really interesting. Sounds like GB staff wants it to be Anders and he had a great start but now is falling.

Speaking of falling and RISING

Sounds like our 1st round draft pick, so far, can't carry the jock strap of Rasheed Walker, who's been very impressive in all of camp so far.
And Jordan Morgan is in the mix for the OG position. Hopefully he gets better

They haven't really given Morgan a chance at OT. I think they want to get the best 5 on the field, and they like Walker a lot more than Rhyan.

The kicker competition was dead even until today. Next practice is Family Night. Carlson needs to bounce back.

Just saw Jaire talk to nfl network. Anyone who doesn’t like Jaire is a dickhead (bobble.)

sounds like doubs has taken a big step up this year

OR . . . Jaire Alexander has lost a step.

Had to say it, just for fun.

Sounds like Sean Rhyan is not going to be a starter in his third year. He's not what you'd hoped for a third-round draft pick at the guard position.

That last wide receiver spot looks like it's going to be between Heath and DuBose. DuBose seems clearly a better receiver, so if I were him I'd really, really focus on my blocking. It's gonna be close.

Jaire just has to stay healthy. Last 2 times he's been healthy all year he's been 2nd team All-Pro. He's still young enough to get back to that. You won't hear me complaining if he occasionally looks than than enthusiastic about throwing his shoulder into a 230 lb. RB.

I get the sense Packers want Morgan to win the RG spot and are grooming Rhyan to be the swing IOL. Which is fine as far as I'm concerned.

Add special teams to the things that DuBose needs to focus on if he wants to make the 53.

It seems he is getting better quickly. Stenovich said he is at guard now because the coaches got together before camp and decided that guard was his best opportunity to become an immediate starter, but he will be given opportunities at tackle too.

Observers have said his quickness and athleticism are very apparent in everything he does, and that he seems to be catching on very quickly. After just a few days of camp, he has already been moved ahead of Ryan, at least for now. One comment was made that MOrgan has already looked much better than at the early camp, just a few weeks ago.

It is quite clear that the coaches see Ryan as the guy they want to replace first, and that they believe Morgan will be among their "5 best" that they want on the field. They will deal with where Morgan's best spot is later, maybe not even until next year when they decide on what they do at center, and where Zach Tom ends up.

[MadScientist]

Not surprising that he's had a slow start. Moving from LT to RG isn't a small change. It takes time and reps to go from thinking about the moves you need to make to just doing them. Sounds like he's coming along at a reasonable pace.

Rookie lineman asked to play a different position than in college before he gets a snap in practice. Displaces the incumbent starter immediately and shows consistent improvement.

What's not to like?

That the guy he's replacing was a third-round pick - pretty high for a guard to be taken. I mean, you're right, but it sure looks like Rhyan is going to be their swing IOL, as Joe said. Hell, train him up at center and see how he does. What if he's the center of the future? Though Mike Wahle was gushing about Monk, so I'm guessing he'll be starting at center next year.

You hear lots of gushing about lots of the rooks, but you haven't heard a peep about Ty'Ron Hopper. Hmm. My guess is that he's as raw as a baboon's ass, and he'll be playing ST this year. Then next year he'll be one of the guys they're gushing about taking that year two leap.

For the Packers to compete seriously this year, they're going to have to get one or probably two rookie safeties to step up this year, and probably Edgerrin Cooper at a linebacking spot as well. On offense, you don't have that "dire need from a rookie" situation quite so much.

Oh, and Anders Carlson needs to get his shit straight - and his kicks - in the next few weeks, or he'll end up lurking around Green Bay offering his new business card to the locals - Swedish massages.

I've read that Hopper is fine. It's just a depth chart thing. They drafted Cooper. McDuffie knows the defense and has been having a good camp. Eric Wilson has been having a great camp. Should see a lot of Hopper in preseason games. And yes, he'll be primarily a special teams guy this year. McDuffie and Wilson are in the last year of their contracts.
