Are people going to cry if it ends up being Newhouse as our LT of the future? That is a big boy at 330lbs. Maybe we can actually gets some holes blown open on that side for a change.

I hope Sherrod wins the LG job, but I don't think he will beat out TJ. McDonald should concentrate on beating out Wells for the Center position. I've always said that Wells is too light in the ass for some of the DT's in the league. He gets by on playing with outstanding leverage, but his position could be upgraded.

Awesome notes. So far, I'm excited about Cobb, Newhouse, Lang, and our new TE's.

Ted Thompson is one hell of a general manager. Is he mentoring someone on our staff currently? I sure hope so, because he will be TOUGH to replace.

I am happy that Sherrod is getting some reps at LG, but with the way Lang and McDonald are sounding (and Lang with the game experience), I hope they get the nod over him...that is of course, if they earn it. Sherrod is still working on learning a new technique in blocking and said himself he doesn't remember the last time he has played the guard position. Makes me wonder if trying him out at left guard is a waste of time when you have guys like Lang and McDonald sitting there.

Glad to hear...
-Lang looks a lot better than last camp.
-Walden is bigger and badder.
-Raji already looks to be in mid-season form.
-Cobb is learning quick and showing it.
-Bulaga stonewalled Matthews once (just once).
-Rookie tight ends are playing well.

Anyone have anything to say about what Nagler had mentioned about our running backs? Starks being the best back on the team...

I absolutely hate not being in GB anymore for these couple weeks of the year.. nothing better than sitting back and seeing things with your own eyes. Miss that.

If Newhouse and Sherrod can both play LT, then Cliffy doesn't make the team. Lang starts at RG, McDonald backs up the interior.
And yeah, Starks and Walden are gonna light it UP.

Also one said Zombo looked in much better shape.

It's like fans used to give Bigby credit for his hard hits and so many tackles. He was giving up plays with poor coverage that wrapping them up after wards... the other team still got the play and moved the yards well.

But I'm glad to hear that both Zombo and Walden look and/or seem to be playing stronger. Haven't heard it about Jones.

Mucky Tundra (22-May) : Sounds like both Kraft and Tom were injuried before OTAs began

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Not serious but waiting for strength and conditioning coach referwnces.

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Tom and Kraft both injured(pectoral muscle),

Zero2Cool (20-May) : I feel similar about person and product/service.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
