PFF ranks them as the third-best tackling team in the NFL through three weeks. The Packers do not have a player in the top 45 in missed tackles, according to PFF. The player who might be tasked with covering Harris in the passing game the most, inside linebacker De’Vondre Campbell, has 11 stops this season, tied for sixth in the league. PFF defines a “stop” as “a play where a defender makes a tackle, and the location of the tackle means the play is a successful one for the defense.”

This was something I think several of us have noticed throughout this young season. That said, I credited the lack of missed tackles being more so due to players being so far fucking out of position!

A few (maybe only two) defensive coaches said if they aren't taught how to tackle at a young age, they won't ever be a good tackler. And these guys were saying that basically if they don't have good tackling technique in college, they won't get it in the professional realm either. But they can be good at in college and lose it in the pros.

That RB moved the pile a few times (so did Dillon) but I also liked the stops. Guys were tackled before the first down marker. Love to see that. That's a Joe Barry thing.

Martha Careful (10h) : Olympic opening ceremony is marginal at best

Zero2Cool (12h) : I was told that the hold up with Tua was the APY but they ironed it out and for Love, it’s been structure of the contract. -- Dianna Russini

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Tua and Love have the same agency, so things might be closer than we realize

Zero2Cool (12h) : Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $212.4 million, including $167 million in guarantees

Zero2Cool (12h) : Sounds like 4 year deal coming

Zero2Cool (12h) : Tua and Dolphins seem to have an extension in place.

Mucky Tundra (12h) : @prettyrickey213 Today has been flippant 🐬. Now waiting for it to be cheesy 🧀

Zero2Cool (13h) : Jones, Ballentine and Jennings join practice off PUP

Zero2Cool (15h) : Yikes.

Zero2Cool (16h) : Great, Jenkins is taking snaps at Center. Lovely. More OL mishaps

wpr (25-Jul) : Another one bites the dust. Rams CB Derion Kendrick feared to have torn ACL

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Vikings CB Mekhi Blackmon tore his ACL today, a source confirms.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : You do know he's QB2, right? Pratt. Check the 53 cheat sheet

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : If Clifford keeps playing the way he has Pratt is gonna be flying by him on the depth chart

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Michael Pratt getting more first team reps than J.J. McCarthy

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Who made a prediction? I posted what it will be, not prediction mate! 😁

dfosterf (24-Jul) : It is within.the realm of possibility that someone had Bowden on their depth chart prediction. I thought they did. Could be wrong

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Record Prediction?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : I think someone edited their prediction post after

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Jayden Reed cleared to practice

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Never heard of the dude before haha

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Bowden is trash, can't snap his way out of a wet paper bag!

beast (23-Jul) : I'm hoping they re-sign Bowden after Love signs and this is just a game to get a 3rd QB while Love isn't practicing

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : got older over *

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Glad to hear it! And Happy Birthday! My brothers had got over over weekend

Cheesey (23-Jul) : Hi Kevin! Yes, I'm still alive. Just turned 67 a few days ago.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Alan has entered the building!!

dfosterf (23-Jul) : Cutting Bowden is odd. I do remember reading he needed to work on his velocity, but don't even know how fixable that is

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Packers signed a QB today

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Packers long snapper Peter Bowden has been released to sign Jacob Eason.

wpr (23-Jul) : I heard Reed tweeked his ankle and his youth camp.

beast (23-Jul) : I believe NJI is usually used for pre-NFL injuries (rookies) and vets that got injured doing something they weren't supposed to.

beast (23-Jul) : Might be interesting to hear how Reed got injured, as I believe NJI is non-football and teams don't have to pay you list.

Zero2Cool (22-Jul) : Love won't practice until new deal is agreed. Ok, my stance changed

Zero2Cool (22-Jul) : TRAIIIIINNNNNING CAMP!!! let's fookin go!!!

Zero2Cool (22-Jul) : Jayden Reed placed on Non-Football Injury list

beast (21-Jul) : Yeah with the way the cap went up, don't be surprised if the new good QB gets more than $55 million per season

Zero2Cool (21-Jul) : Kenny Clark. Extended!!

buckeyepackfan (21-Jul) : The "raw" number will probably be in that area. The numbers to look at are signing bonus. Guaranteed money, and Salary Cap Hit each year.

dfosterf (21-Jul) : Those numbers align with my guesstimate. Might find out tomorrow

Zero2Cool (21-Jul) : Saw some rumor the Love contract is around 5 years $280m. There's no way.

Zero2Cool (19-Jul) : Packers sign wide receivers Rory Starkey and Jalen Wayne, waive Alex McGough.
