For five weeks, all will be still. Players have been excused for summer vacation. Coaches are with their families. On the football calendar, the space after minicamp may be the only real quiet time.

Word is Janis has looked good in OTAs. Word also is that Davante hasn't been getting open. Maybe it's just a deal where there's chemistry between Hundley and Janis. Maybe they've gotten back up reps with each other. Then again, maybe Janis is getting it done.

Word also is that Blake Martinez is getting a ton of reps. Barrington still has that foot.

Oh yeah, and I've heard they really like Gunter. I've heard he's been working the press coverage, Al Harris style. It's all covered here in this article.

Oh yeah, Lacy looked good and got in shape, then has started balooning out again. Could be a concern. Keep an eye on how he looks in 5 weeks.

Spriggs has been at RT.

I feel like we may have one of the best DB coaches in the league.

Here's another thing I've heard.

Some of these UDFA RBs have been looking good. Might find a dude or two who could pan out. Unknown at this point if we'll have need, but it's good to hear.

Should be a pretty good camp this year.

Heard Spriggs was struggling a bit at RT. "Could be a project," was the word.

Hope he can get it done.

We knew he wasn't strong enough coming out of college and that he had some glaring weaknesses in his technique. I think we shouldn't expect a whole lot from him right now.

dfosterf (4-Jun) : Just don't ask him for driving direct

Zero2Cool (3-Jun) : “Kenny Clark played all of last season hurt by the way and got surgery to fix it in January”

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : @ByRyanWood How much did the injury affect him last fall? “A lot.”

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : @ByRyanWood Kenny Clark said he had foot surgery in January. Injured his foot in opener against Eagles and played through it all year.

Zero2Cool (3-Jun) : Golden is wearing guardian cap again. I bet he plays with it on too.

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : All the stuff I'm reading from Lions fans are pointing at his toe; he more or less has permanent turf toe in one of his big toes

dfosterf (3-Jun) : Kenny played through it, and a shame he gets little credit for that, imo

dfosterf (3-Jun) : Big men. I hope it's not the undoing of Kenny Clark

beast (30-May) : Yeah, and I enjoyed your comments and just attempted to add to it. Sorry if I did it incorrectly.

Zero2Cool (29-May) : Whoa

beast (29-May) : OMG the website is now all white, even some white on white text

beast (29-May) : Henderson, who admits to taking cocaine during the Super Bowl against the Steelers, might dislike Bradshaw as he lost two Superbowls to him

wpr (28-May) : Hollywood Henderson said Bradshaw “is so dumb, he couldn't spell 'cat' if you spotted him the C and an A.”

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : Cooper stock=BUY BUY BUY

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : Also notes he’s playing with more confidence.

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : @AndyHermanNFL MLF says there was a time last year where Cooper was at 220 pounds. Now he’s at 240 and still flying around.

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : And don't even get me started on Frank Caliendos "impersonations"

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : I got tired of them being circle jerks with them overlaughing at each others jokes.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : It used to be must watch TV for me. now it's "meh" maybe to hear injury update

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : I haven't watched the pregame shows in years and I don't feel like I've missed a thing

Zero2Cool (28-May) : Love says knee affected him all season, groin injury didn't help matters.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : I used to enjoy him on FOX Pregame. Now it's like a frat party of former Patriots.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : LaFleur on Watson: “Christian is doing outstanding. I would say he’s ahead of schedule.”

Martha Careful (28-May) : Bradshaw is a dumb ass cracker. I am so tired of his "aw shucks" diatribe. He should shrivel up and go away.

buckeyepackfan (28-May) : He wad all butt hurt because Aaron duped the media saying he was immunized.

buckeyepackfan (28-May) : Bradshaw needs to retire. He's been ripping on Rodgers ever since the covid crap. He was all hury

Zero2Cool (28-May) : Terry Bradshaw doesn't want Rodgers in Pittsburgh lol wow

Zero2Cool (27-May) : one day contract, which he also feels is pointless, but if Packers came to him, he would

packerfanoutwest (27-May) : Aaron Rodgers talks possibility of retiring with Packers, just another rumor
