Depth usually looks pretty good in August, though. Crunch time will be October and November.

It's too bad Shields isn't catching the returns cleanly. KR/PR is for me one of the most underrated positions in the game. It can be the wild card of games, winning some games we should have lost.

I'm weary of Blackmon being 100% because of his injury. If so, great, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Shields' speed would have been nice.

Good news though that Shields has been a pleasant surprise. You can never have too many CBs, as we learned the hard way last year.

I agree man, it seems shields is extremely impressive when he gets the ball in hands, it really is too bad he cant field the punts and kicks cleanly because from the sound of things he'd be our best returner.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Really hoping this kid can fine tune his game all around. Once and IF that happens, MAJOR STEAL.

Hopefully we can finally get rid of Bush if Shields handles his business.

Too bad he can't handle kicks cleanly, sounds like otherwise he'd be a good option.

^ What I'm hoping for is he learns to field the ball better so he can at least make the roster on Special Teams. then they can continue to groom him at the CB spot.

We NEED a big time returner. If the kid can just hang onto the ball. Muffing a punt can kill you.

I always thought he would make a better gunner than returner. He doesn't have great confidence in his hands. If you don't, you try too hard instead of concentrating on the ball and letting your hands do the work. You can tell by the way he catches it off his chest. He has to practice catching it with his hands and building his confidence.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

No use having a speedy guy that'll get you an extra 5-10 yards if he'll muff 1/10 or even 1/20 punts. I'd rather we just fair-catch everything if that's what it takes to keep the football. I have enough confidence in our offense to overcome bad field position, not anywhere near that much confidence in our special teams.

Even if Will Blackmon came back 100% he still was never that good of a kick returner. It would be nice if we could have someone step up in that area and Shields has the speed for it but his return last night wasn't very impressive. I am hoping they can at least give him another shot on kick returns but I won't care if he is done for good trying punts.

dfosterf (16h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (16h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (16h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (17h) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (17h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (17h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (17h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (20h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (20h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (21h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
