Jaire played a helluva game today. Hopefully it gives the defensive coordinator more options to send extra blitzers knowing he has some cover guys out there.

Can't believe that quote came from the herd. He's absolutely right though. Dude played lights out today. Where was josh Jackson?

Outside of one play (I think it was a 35 yarder to Cook) Jaire didn't get beat on any other passing play all day. He should be the front runner for Defensive Rookie of the Year and a contender for Rookie of the Year as well (though he'll probably lose out to some WR simply from scoring TDs). Guy is an absolute stud and someone you can build a defense around.

This forum and fanbase are gloomy atm (and very rightfully so) BUT let's not get too down to not appreciate plays like this

Blocking one opponent into another makes for a great highlight, but the disadvantage is that the ball carrier isn't down by contact when he hits the turf, so you risk giving up unnecessary yardage. But it sure does look cool.

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it just that I don't think he will get much love. It is good when guys like Cowherd (even though I don' t like the guy) see it. Collinsworth seemed pretty high on him last night as well. I think most people who watch him realize he is the real deal but like I said he just doesn't have the stats in the right categories to garner the big awards.

I may be wrong but as cool as that play looked I seem to recall after he made the hit that knocked them both down he actually turned around instead of persuing. Maybe he thought the play was over but that will come with experience. In fact I'd guess if he did think it was over he won't make that mistake again. I haven't watched the play again so I may be misremembering but I though at the time that was a screw up.

Mucky Tundra (4h) : @AndyHermanNFL Sean Rhyan getting some reps at center in walkthroughs. They are rotating guys everywhere.

Mucky Tundra (4h) : or that might have been an individual drill thing

Mucky Tundra (4h) : that was from the 29th but I've seen other combs (including Rhyan@C)

Mucky Tundra (4h) : @ByRyanWood Without Elgton Jenkins and Zach Tom, #Packers starting OL: Rasheed Walker, Jordan Morgan, Josh Myers, Sean Rhyan, Andre Dillard.

Martha Careful (9h) : I have never seen an OTA, but who is lining up at LT and RG with starters? or is it all individual drills?

Zero2Cool (15h) : Bears are the first team to be selected for Hard Knocks

dfosterf (29-May) : Andy Herman and his Pack a day podcast put up GB strengths yesterday. This morning he did weaknesses. They are both very good.

Zero2Cool (25-May) : Yes.

beast (24-May) : Does he say what it is?

Zero2Cool (22-May) : Christian Watson believes he has discovered the root cause his soft-tissue leg injuries

Zero2Cool (22-May) : Savage played last half of season with tear in rotator cuff

Zero2Cool (22-May) : SISSIES!!!!

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 (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills

Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension

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.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

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) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

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

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
