2013 TC Disappointments

While Hayward is only about 1/15th of the injury situation that has once more plagued the Packers training camp, the fact that he hasn’t touched a single blade of grass outside (or inside) the Don Hutson Center is downright sad.

That article says Hayward is the biggest disappointment.

IMO, he's already showed he can play. We know what he brings to the table.

My biggest disappointments are the two 7th WRs. I was really looking forward to seeing what they could do. Haven't even gotten onto the field yet. Very sad indeed.

I'd say I'm also disappointed in James Campen for breaking the ankle of our 3rd round draft pick and backup C, but that wasn't technically during training camp, and it's also hard to say I'm "disappointed" in Campen, because I don't really expect much from him.

EDIT: I'll add Ross to this list. We need to solidify the PR position. Make the team, dude.

I will also include Mason Crosby, although again, it's hard to say I'm "disappointed" when I didn't really expect much.

Good Post, Nerdman. Hayward is beyond needing to prove himself. Especially with a hamstring, the important thing is giving it plenty of time to heal.

Ross, the rookie wideouts, virtually anybody who needs to prove something and has been hurt fit the description of disappointments. Quarless is high on that list also. Sherrod, though, IMO is still the biggest disappointment of all.

I am also disappointed with our 2 WRs being out. Guess Ill be looking at our LBers, RBs and other DBs and of course our LT to see whom our potential players will be.

I hope he smooths things out and becomes a player. We need depth there.

I'll select Mike Neal. We need someone to pressure QB, and expectations were high for him to be an impact player on the defense.

I was very disappointed to see him injured again. I know he is back, so I hope to see him pressure the QB in tonight's game.

Did Campen sit on his ankle, or something?

I don't find a fumble recovery drill in OTAs that strange, at all. There's no contact. Next to that, had he broken his ankle that way in TC, it would've been better, somehow? His agent was looking really hard for someone to blame, I guess.

Lastly, he was a fourth round pick.

I'd say I'm most disappointed in Coleman. I was hoping he'd at least look improved (to be fair we haven't seen him in even a preseason game yet) but so far he looks like a rookie.

Most disappointments are injury related, it seems performance wise that nobody has really regressed and a lot of the 2nd year players look improved and a lot of the rooks are exceeding expectations.

The Sherrod injury is what it is. I don't like comparisons to Harrell because it's not like he keeps getting bumps and bruises trying to come back, he just had an unavoidable injury so bad that he had to have 2 surgeries on it. I really hope he can at least get onto the 53 man roster this year (if he does it seems most likely to be off PUP at mid season) because he's the biggest dude on the team and since we are trying to be more physical this year we might want our biggest dude.

The Tretter injury doesn't really bother me unless it's something that causes permanent damage. He was most likely going to be a G or C and ride the bench all year anyways. If he can heal enough to come off pup mid season even better if not then it sucks to lose the depth but it's not a killer.

Can we at least watch some of these guys in a "semi-real" football game before we brand them disapointments?

1 scrimmage does not tell all.

Blaming Campen for the Tretter injury is just plain dumb.

There are 4 preseason games, the guys who can play will show up.

Tonights game is going to give the coaches a chance to get these young guys on film.

Mistakes are going to be made and it's the ones who are able to correct their mistakes in the next 4 weeks who will be joining the vets on the 53 man roster.

Every club is going through injuries, some may think The Packers have more, and maybe so, but what can you do about it?

Nobody is feeling sorry for The Green Bay Packers.

Guys get hurt, Ted keeps bringing in replacements, in a month, we all will see who is a dissapointment and who is not.
