You’re saying they won’t find a place for DD? If they can’t find a place for DD, they won’t find a place for either of the youngins. DD hasn’t lost a step yet.

Great stuff. THANKS!

Is Kuhn back or is he out?

If he’s out what’s the fullback position looking like.

As far as Moses goes he has some rush moves but looks challenged in coverage like all of our linebackers except DJ Smith. Moses has potential but has holes in his game that will be exploited based on the two practices I saw. Lawrence Guy is a big dude. On tuesday he was spending lots of time with Anthony Hargrove in between plays. You will see lots of Worthy, Raji, Pickett. Also CJ Wilson looks in excellent shape. On the offensive side expect Randall Cobb to get lots more touches maybe in the backfield. He might turn into a fantasy football sleeper. I have no clue how teams will defense Finley, Jennings, Nelson, Cobb and our backs. Scary!

Just wondering your thoughts on Lawrence Guy. With Mike Daniels and Ryan Picketts injuries and Mike Neal and Anthony Hargrove suspensions. Will Guy be able to play along with Raji, Wilson and possibly Merling. If Pickett’s injury is serious how does that affect Daniel Muir status.

Could you keep an eye out for Moses? Wondering if this early hype is still going on and how he’s doing. Also, is Vic So’oto still with the team or what? He was a great rusher in preseason last year, but haven’t heard anything this year.

No, but it was funny.
Lighten up Steph. Would it have been funny if they h ad asked him to eat some watermelon and fried chicken?

it is true that Moss, Mason, and Ward all played last year. Randall Cobb, in an extremely limited role, had a comparable or better year than any of those guys…. and two of those guys have already retired. Jennings is also money in the slot.

I would say that it all depends on Gurley and how far he comes along in the offense because the guy has a knack for blocking punts and has a size advantage over most wide receivers. The coaches like Borel enough and I wouldn’t be surprised to see converted basketball player Dale Moss as a candidate to surprise. The point being, there is enough talent at wide receiver that everybody needs to step up if they want to ensure a spot on the team.

Actually, Brady, the end comes pretty damn slow for WRs.

Randy Moss is still playing. Derrick Mason and Hines Ward both played last season. Some still talk about fricking TO playing yet.

This team needs more than one slot WR, and as far as I know, DD and Cobb are the only WRs that regularly play that role.

Very true though, that the end comes quick for RBs.

Great camp report. Looking forward to Thursday.

In my opinion, the Donald Driver fans should be more concerned with him finding a spot on the team then to have him dance on command. Taking a large pay cut has certainly helped Driver’s chances, but it should not be a guarantee that a veteran receiver who only plays special teams for the hand’s team makes it over younger guys with more availability. I’m not hating on Driver at all because he is a model Packer and will always be, but the end comes extremely quick for wide receivers and runningbacks.
