It wasn't even one practice. It was one "card session" of one practice.

Here he was talking about more recently saying he's happy with where they and the offense are the : https://www.packers.com/video/rodgers-likes-where-he-offense-are-at 

Not that it means any of the young WRs will be successful. Just the facts on what Rodgers days

Cool thanks.  I just heard that one story on Twitter.

So now they have another slow LB. 

I think he ran a 5.1 40 a couple years ago. 

 

I get the move tho, basically dumped a player that was probably going to get cut and gained some depth at a LB position where they desperately needed help. 

 

Who’s the other slow LB? No other Packer LB is close to that 50 time?

FWIW, ive read that 40 time at the combine was related to a knee injury but not sure if that’s true.

Wasn't the issue that Packers fans complained about with their defense was a lack of speed?

or...was that only for the secondary?

Quinten Rollins or Ledarious Gunter are/were slow... The rest of the previous DBs were very fast, they just weren't good football players. The only other LBer I can think of ( Ryan is on IR) is Martinez. I don't think I'd call Martinez slow for a 3-4 ILB. Probably average speed. Oren Burks should be back in a couple weeks, but he's super fast/athletic. so I wasn't sure who he was talking about?

What Packer fans mostly complained about with their defense was Dom Capers.

And then who do you complain about when the defense is still bad this year?

Well, I think everyone else was having a constructive football conversation that you guys in the viking forum like to pride yourself on. Why can't you keep it that way without the smack talk?

I think you need to loosen that tie a little, Arthur.  I was only teasing.  :D

I'm all for it. But you know dang well if I came into the vikings forum and started talking about how a certain aspect of your team was going to suck again without really talking football, I'd be politely asked to leave ;)

I'm sure there are some of us that probably would say that. :D

And in other Packers news...

6th round pick for Hundley is probably fair. Values him a little lower than Siemian (traded for a 5th rounder also heading into the last year of his rookie deal).

Interesting decision in that Hundley clearly outplayed Kizer this preseason. Kizer's still super young (22, to Hundley's 25) and I guess they're betting on his long-term upside.

I think Hundley would've been a better backup QB if needed this year, but this is the last year of his rookie deal so he was gone next year anyway. 

Packers new QB3 is Tim Boyle, who was pretty good for a bottom of the depth chart guy this preseason. He can probably go to the practice squad with only 2 QBs kept on the roster. That would allow them to keep 7 WRs (8 receivers have a strong case to make the team: the 3 starters, the 3 rookies, return specialist Trevor Davis, and UDFA practice squad reclamation Jake Kumerow, who's been lights out this preseason).

Sounds like what the Vikings had a habit of doing with the WRs in the past...throw crap up against the wall and see what sticks.
