Packers Second Practice in 2015

Day 2 and.......

PACKERNEWS.com Day Two Report (click here and have a look!

This bunch does a nice job with updates.  News on Abbrederis fall in practice, concussion.  And as any injury week one, other players will be noticed!  He needs to get back!

Inside linebacker, Matthews & Barrington, next guy in line - Nate Palmer.  This is somewhat of a surprise!  Watch this the next few weeks.

And they discussed the Aaron Rogers interview.  They pointed out Aaron would love to host the NFC Championship, but can still win it without a fast start.  But, as discussed, the thought is we need a fast start to get home field advantage!

Coach McCarthy's take on day #2!  (Click here)

No big news, confirms Abbrederis concussion & talks about Saturday padded practice!

And how about that Offensive Line - Larry McCarren!  Click here!

This line, I think could be the best in the NFL, and we have quality depth!

And what has Clay Matthews been up to?  Click Here!

Matthews is a unique player!  If you watch him, he flies around the field.  This style of play is VERY difficult on your body!  STAY HEALTHY CLAY!  Love what Clay said about putting on pads for the first time, "I'm sure there will be some big hits, and some fights!"  GET READY BABY!

And Randall Cobb, glad he is back! He always says the right stuff! Click here.

And, as the past few years, it all comes down to the Packer Defense - Click here!

Day Two finished!  GO PACK GO!

Packers First Practice! Let The Players Start To Compete!

So, we have one practice in!  What did we learn so far?

Players not practicing:

Andrew Quarless - taking care of personal family issues.  We all hope that Andrew can get back on the field!  If there are serious family concerns, all fans have his back.  Has Andrew, at age 26, started to grow up?  There is really NO excuse for firing a gun in the air!  And, at age 26, to be out at 4 AM in the morning!   Come on man!

Quinten Rollins - second round pick, hurt his H-string(From tis point on that is a dirty word), in workouts before the 1st practice!  He need to see some practice time in the next few weeks, but we all know how hamstrings are - HEAL FIRST QUINTEN!

Mike Neal - begins on the PUP list.  Not good for a guy that has played a lot of outside linebacker and had been injured a LOT!!

John Crockett - a rookie fighting for that 3rd running back slot.  Ankle Injury.

Ricky Collins - rookie wide receiver, not able to practice.  Not good for Ricky because we have a BUNCH of wide receivers trying to make this team!!!

So, if you are counting, that is 83 players practicing, and Jared Abbrederis was injured on a broken up pass play.  Apparently he suffered from a fall, and no report was available at this time.

The Packer Interviews all sounds good!  Go on the Packer Website (Click here)and check it out!

And the bicycle tradition continues!!!!!

Roster Stands At 88, Five Days To Go!

Packers released a cornerback this week, Bernard Blake.  That makes 88 players on the present roster, and NFL teams are allowed 90 for summer camp.  My guess, they will be looking for a tight end and maybe another player to begin camp next week.  So, one last look at the roster.  Here are the numbers:

Quarterback - 4
Fullback - 2
Running Back - 5
Wide Receiver - 12
Tight End - 6
Offensive Line - 15

Defensive Line - 10
Outside Linebackers - 8
Inside Linebackers - 8
Cornerbacks - 6
Safety - 8

Punter - 2
Kicker - 1
Long Snapper - 1

Remember the magic numbers - Roster 53 & Practice Squad 10.  We know we will have at least 3 missing game #1 - Quarrels, Guion, & D. Jones.

My guess for players that are already safe?
Offense - Rogers, A., Lacy, Starks, Rogers B., R, Bakhtiari, Bulaga, Sitton, Lang, Lindsley, Nelson, Cobb, Adams, Quarless, Tolzien, Tretter - that is 15 players
Defense - Peppers, Matthews, Barrington, Daniels, Raji, Guion, Jones, D., Shields, Hayward, Hyde, Clinton-Dix, Burnett, Perry, Neal - 14
Usually the Pack keeps its top draft choices - Randall, Rollins, Montgomery, Ryan, Hundley - that is the top 5
Special team - Goode, Crosby - 2 players

So, right now we are at 36 players.

Here is my next list of possible players - Kuhn, Ripkowski, Ringo, Backman, Richardson, Banjo, Goodson, Hubbard, Bradford, Janis, Abbrederis, that is 11 players, we are at 47.

My surprises?  Dantzler, Rotterham, Crocket, Mandell, Pennell, Ringo.  That is 53!

So, let the competition begin!!

Packer Buddies Take In The Favre Ceremonies!!

What a weekend!  It was a special night for ANY serious Packer Fan!  Why...........

1 - You REALLY felt like you were a special guest at the ceremony!  First, Brett & his family came out to the field & spent 20 minutes with the fans!  He talked to the fans!  He laughed & cried with the fans.  It seemed like he REALLY wanted to say THANK YOU!

Lot's of laughs & tears!

2 - With the help of the TWO giant screens located in each end zone, you felt like you were sitting in the banquet in the Atrium!

What  roommates - Kiln, Mississippi & Hoboken, NJ (Frank Winters)

3 - Stories, stories, & more stories!

4 - And, lot's of thank you's!!  Family, friends, coaches, & Packer workers - security, trainers, 

strength trainers, ground crew, sideline help, ticket people, ...............................

And the Packer Buddies had another AWESOME weekend!!!

Twenty Days To First Summer Pre-Season Practice!

Twenty days to go!  What do we know as of July 10?

1 - We have 89 men on the roster

2 - We have a list of our issues

a - Andrew Quarless enjoys partying all night and impressing women by shooting guns,
and is not good at hide and seek games!

b - Datone Jones smokes dope after a tough loss - and gets caught by police!

c - Letroy Guion likes cash, large amounts of dope and carries a gun to protect his stash,
and gets caught

So, we will probably be missing 3 starters at least the first week of the season!

3 - AJ Watt is ranked over Aaron Rogers in the NFL top 100.  OK, who would you like
on your team Rogers or Watt?  OK, now we know who is really the BEST player in
the NFL!

4 - Brett Favre is coming home & the Packer Buddies will be there!  And guess what, Favre still
thinks he can play!  Some things NEVER change!

And, we will be wearing our SUMMER gear!

5 - Las Vegas has the Packers as the BEST shot to win the Super Bowl!

Twenty more days!  Let the HYPE begin!

Packer Fans! What is Wrong With These Guys!

First, Datone Jones!

This was back right after the Packer loss to Seattle.  After, all the union & NFL talks -

ONE GAME SUSPENSION!

Next, Andrew Quarless!

This one really upsets me.  Veteran.  Want to be BEST Tight End in league.  Fires
a gun in public - REALLY!

If I was General Manager - Jones, you have one more chance.  Quarrels, a gun?  Come on Man!
Bye - Bye!  Find another team!

Enough said!  WHO IS NEXT?

July 1st - 29 Days to Go, And Nobody Is In Trouble!

Many NFL teams hold their breath during down times!  The Packers, usually have players that behave during down time! (You can do it Leroy!)  So, what do some players do?

There is always Aron Rogers!  (Take a look! Click Here!!!!)

Olivia & Aaron!

(And, let's take a look and see what Eddie Lacy is doing this summer!  Click here!)

Eddie on Family Feud!!!!

Of course, the next big day is the Brett Favre induction into the Packer Hall of Fame!!
