Interesting on Pearson. I liked him and others seemed too. Maybe Davis and AJ Dillon taking the H-back/FB role?

I suspect the Move TE role will be a mix of Davis, Sims and Kraft. If you look at how AJ Dillon re-shaped his body in the offseason, its likely aimed at being a quicker runner & pass catching threat as opposed to a battering ram.

On one hand, I’ve been thinking the amount of Hafley praise given based on words and press conferences before a game has even been played is strange and premature.

On the other hand, that’s a helluva Jaire quote

We gotta see it translate in games. Yes. Without a doubt. At the same time, we have to be really freaking optimistic based on the totality of practices thus far. Who, on the defensive side of the ball, is struggling thus far? Who does not look improved compared to last season? Which rookie is failing to catch the eye of coaches? Which last chance guys are showing they are going to be easy cuts? Who seems frustrated? Who is failing to show leadership or respond to leadership? Like, every. single. tweet/report/video about these defensive players has been positive and super encouraging. I don't think that happens without a lot of things going right at the very top.

Everything sounds good but we gotta see them play. Devondre Campbell was all smiles and compliments when we were winning and the defense was playing well. He loved Barry. Then he wasnt playing well and went on to say players werent being put in positions to make plays. They gotta get on the field and play real games for us to make any determinations. Every year in practice we hear how strong the defense looks.

This Packers defense is active around the line of scrimmage, not just between the tackles and not just the starters. Defensive tackle T.J. Slaton has flashed early in camp and blew up a Josh Jacobs outside run on Wednesday. Safety Tyler Coyle did the same on a short pass to the tight end Wilson and cornerback Gemon Green did so on a screen to wideout Julian Hicks. Corey Ballentine perfectly read a swing pass to running back AJ Dillon, who dropped the ball, and linebacker Eric Wilson stuffed a shotgun run to Dillon not long after. Safety Anthony Johnson Jr. blew up a swing pass to Christian Watson for a loss of two yards and defensive tackle Colby Wooden stuffed running back Emanuel Wilson, while linebacker Quay Walker covered ground to limit a Jacobs run near the left sideline and fellow linebacker Isaiah McDuffie stopped a toss to Jacobs on the right side.

“I would say they put us in good situations to just run and hit and I feel like that’s what I do best,” said McDuffie, who also had a pressure against left tackle Rasheed Walker that led to a Nixon pass breakup against receiver Samori Toure. “I get to the ball, I get there violently, so I feel like it’s going to be good. I feel like they’re putting us in those situations to be most successful, so I think it’s going to be fun.”

Walker had another tackle for loss on a swing pass to Jacobs, and on the next play, Bullard blew up another swing pass to Jacobs. In the starters’ two-minute drill, Alexander swiftly met a swing pass to Jacobs on the first play of the drive and McDuffie appeared to stuff Jacobs on a fourth-down dump-off before the chains, but coaches gave the offense a first down. It certainly looks like the aggressive nature of new coordinator Jeff Hafley’s defense that those inside the building have been talking about is showing up on the field.

Gotta think the white out has a great shot to be in Brazil?

I'm guessing the Packers didn't want to be in all-white uni's come December when they could potentially be completely camouflaged against a snowy backdrop.

Nope. It'll be Oct 20 against the Texans.

I would hope the Packers are pushing for a white out promotion of the game. Otherwise that’s a missed opportunity for a great fan experience.

To help create a blizzard-like effect in the stadium in honor of Packers fans' legendary energy during even the harshest of winter conditions, the team is asking game attendees to join in the Winter Warning by wearing white attire for the Oct. 20 game against Houston.
