I wish I could just decide what my favorite battle coming is but I can't. I just love it all. Training camp is kind of my favorite part of the year.

Circular Arguments: They are a heck of an annoyance

Moving forward , with Ty Montgomery as GB's RB1 and Aaron Ripkowski as FB1 , who will line up behind then on the final 2017 , 53 man Depth Chart ? 🤷

But it'll be interesting to see if the Packers try to keep 4 RBs or not.

I'm thinking the Packers will keep only one FB. That being said, I have wondered if Mike McCarthy might break out the H-back role (TE/FB tweener role) with Lance Kendricks.

I'm not going to judge his pass blocking skills based upon last season , instead I'm allowing him a fresh clean slate. In addition , he will know the plays better this season and should be able to afford to place little more on his plate this year . Also if opposing defenses see him leave the game every play where pass blocking is needed , then GB should just yell "pass play" prior to snapping the ball .

It should be recalled that the "sweep" pass was being stressed during the OTA's and the coaches were most pleased with what they were seeing . I fully expect to see more screen /short passes to the RB's and TE's this year. That will also call for more advanced blocking packages for the O-Line.

TC in GB will be very busy this year and I believe that the Offense , once again , will not be a problem . The focus remains on improving the 2017 Defense over the 2016 version .

Ball Security has become an early issue in GB's TC . A good thing to stress. [thumbup]

If Cobb gets back to form, Davante is playing for a contract and I do like Jordy playing slot. I am so excited to see Bennett added to the mix. Have we ever had a TE this good in the Favre and Rodgers era? I doubt it. But dude needs to stop sleeping on the floor.

I wonder if it bothers Montgomery how many pass catchers we have now. His obvious plus is a diminished with the adding of TEs. Now we have a strong TE set, I have to admit I want that Lacy type of runner on the team. Hope to see what we have pounding the rock and how they change how their defense defends us. Right now I miss a Lacy type of guy who can pound that rock as I think with our WRs and TEs a big back is what you need to make the opposing D make the tough call to defend you.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
