Training camp report No. 6: Thursday, August 6, 2015

Gunter had another of those attention-grabbing – and football-grabbing – plays on Thursday, staying stride-for-stride with WR Jeff Janis on a deep post and snatching away QB Aaron Rodgers’ slightly underthrown ball for an interception. It marked the second time this camp that Gunter has picked off the reigning NFL MVP, but McCarthy dampened some of the post-practice enthusiasm about him with his reply to a question about the play and Gunter’s camp so far.

Jason Wilde wrote:

So the dude who went undrafted ran stride for stride with Jeff Janis. Just goes to show how 40 times aren't necessarily the same way people run in pads, when they are on a football field.

Janis does have adequate straight line speed, but I think it takes him too long to accelerate. Also, going up after the ball seems to still be an issue. Still, with Abbrederis down, he has a shot to make the team as the #6 guy.

Monty on the other hand seems to be lighting it up:

Play of the day: Where have we heard this before? Oh, that’s right, it seemingly happens every day. On Thursday during an 11-on-11 no-huddle session, rookie WR Ty Montgomery fully extended on the right sideline to reel in a 45-yard completion from No. 2 QB Scott Tolzien. Entering camp, most assumed that Montgomery’s impact would be as the kickoff returner. With what he’s shown as a receiver during the first six practices, his offensive opportunities should only grow as he learns the offense.

Until Abby can stay healthy for a month (or at the very least two weeks), I think Janis should be in front of Abby, which in my mind would make Janis the current 5th guy.

Of course, I guess there is also WR White if Janis hasn't learn enough as White seems like a pretty good route runner and I was surprised some team didn't claim White last year as I thought he might be able to be a #4 WR on some NFL teams with less depth.

So, Monty is already penciled in as the 4th and Janis is 6th at best? I would like to see video of the Janis/Gunter "stride for stride" play.

Still, it's exciting to hear Ty is acclimating so quickly. Shouldn't be that big of a surprise considering he's from a major program that is known for it's academics.

Gunter sure gets talked about a lot. I don't think I've read Randall Cobb's name or Davante Adams name so far this year other than a quote from Aaron Rodgers. None of these media guys are talking about our top WR's.

White is a freaking pencil. He makes Todd Pinkston look like Hercules. Abby ain't much bigger. I think Myles White would have a tough time making it through an NFL season if he played regularly.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Good point. I haven't heard much about Lacy or ARodg either aside from some ints and a nice 45 yard pass into a net. My hunch is we all know they're fine. If I'm in the media or a fan at camp, I don't need to confirm that Cobb and Daniels are really good - I want to know how the injured (Nelson, CM3), question marks (Raji) and rookies (Montgomery, Gunter, Rollins) are doing. At least that's my theory why we've heard more about them.

I'm with you, musccy. I'd rather hear about the lesser knowns and new guys. Hearing about Jimmie Hunt is the kind of thing I love. We added a ton of UDFA WR's and he was one I didn't even bother to check out until last night. Loved his clip. I read all about him and he sounded almost exactly like the guy I thought he looked like on one of the plays in his highlight reel.

Jimmie freaking Hunt. Gotta love this time of year.

On opening day he'll kick ass. I want to know how the Thorton, Gunter, Carl "hair on fire" Bradford, etc. are doing.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (15h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (15h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : what's so funny?
