It’s just like being there. Thanks to twitter and the fine cast of Packers beat writers, here is a summary of some interesting happenings at today’s Packers training camp. Let’s talk about them!
Casey Hayward and Davon House not participating in warmups. On sideline with PUP guys #Packers

Packers jumping right into team work on offense. Marshall Newhouse at RT, Alex Green at RB with the unit to start.

Andrew Datko already has worked at both guard and tackle today. Was a tackle at FSU and last year but worked at guard most of the offseason. — Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) July 26, 2013
Second team offensive line same as OTAs: Bahtiari, Datko, GVR, Taylor and Barclay

So the list of those out: Harris, Richardson, Hayward, House, Powell, Lattimore, Tretter, Sherrod, Neal, Worthy. — Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) July 26, 2013
M.D. Jennings was ahead of Jerron McMillian with the first-team defense.

Solid start for Tim Masthay. In 15 punts, all but four had hang times of 4.0 or better. Best was a 4.53 61-yarder along the left sideline. — Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) July 26, 2013
#packers outside linebackers doing a chase drill through figure 8s to fans delight. Matthews couldn’t catch Nick Perry

Johnathan Franklin showing natural catch and run ability on a screen. Nice explosion. — Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) July 26, 2013
Rookie @micah_hyde having a nice first practice. He's been around the ball a bunch.
— Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) July 26, 2013
So to review, Crosby goes 4-6 and Tavecchio goes 5-6. #kickingcompetiton

FYI to fans that use Vine: there are video clips from practice that Tyler Dunne posted. Maybe a few of the other tweeters above too
Pinch me, the 2013 season has started
Clay Matthews couldn’t catch Nick Perry in a figure-8 chase drill? I’ll bet CMIII was both irritated and felt slightly stood up in front of the crowd.
I was thinking about Perry’s amazing closing speed last week when watching his sack of Russell Wilson. Wilson regularly makes defenders look like they are wearing concrete shoes. Russell clearly sees Perry coming, and tries to create separation and escape, but he doesn’t gain an inch and Perry makes the take down of the elusive rookie look mundane and old hat.
Stay healthy, Nick, Packers fans and your team mates need you for 2013!
After a long sabbatical on posting, kept reading though, I feel obligated to say:
It’s really football season. M. Neal is already on the PUP.
Neal has an abdominal now? What next?
Very good morning! Does one make use of Tweets? I would like to adhere to a person in the event that could be alright. I am just certainly taking pleasure in your blog post and appearance toward brand-new improvements.
