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.

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.

Mucky Tundra (8h) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8h) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (9h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (9h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (9h) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (9h) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (13h) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (13h) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : watch it!! lol

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : you're right, we never did leave, the site just went down :P

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Rock claims to have never eaten a cheese curd

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : We did not leave.

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin
