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 MM might break out the H-back role (TE/FB tweener role) with Lance Kendricks.

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.

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : Sorry to bitch, but the headline writers in that section absolutely mislead, or don't know how to read. It is maddening

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : No thanks. Not a dependable guy to be in the right place and run the right route. Dumb as a box of rocks.
