Jordan Love had a rough day of training camp on Monday. He was determined on Tuesday to get that sour taste out of his mouth. He did that and more. Jordan Love had an impressive day at training camp. Love’s First Two Years Jordan Love has not looked great in his first two years in Green Bay. His preseason starts have been okay. His regular season starts have been pretty bad. In his defense, his career has been marred with oddities that most rookies do not have to face. The 2020 season was unprecedented with the pandemic. He got no…

The special teams unit is the part of the team no one talks about unless it is bad. The Packers special teams were talked about way to much last season. The hope is that the changes that have been made will move the special teams in a positive direction. The special teams have been making some waves in training camp practices. Let’s take a look at the Packers special teams performance at camp. Field Goals Mason Crosby has been on the PUP list for all of training camp. In his absence, rookie Gabe Brkic has been filling in. He hit…

The beginning of Packers training camp has brought lots of excitement. The meteoric rise of Romeo Doubs. The defensive line creating lots of pressure. Adrian Amos flying around the field. There is a lot to be excited about. However, in the midst of all of this excitement, many fans are missing what is happening with the offensive line. The Packers are building an elite offensive line and it is starting in training camp. Injuries Are Equaling Opportunity The injuries to David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins are not great but have given other players opportunities to prove themselves. One of these…

Day 1 was all about the offense. Day 2 the defense responded. Despite some spectacular plays by the offense, the defense won the day. The Packers defense looks solid in training camp. Quay Walker Looks Like the Real Deal The Packers went all in on defense in the first round of the 2022 draft. Their top pick was Georgia LB Quay Walker. Inside LB was a problem for the Packers last season and they were looking to fill that hole. The question was whether Walker would be ready to step into the role immediately and make an impact. Early signs…

“It’s 1-0 offense”. That’s what Packers QB Aaron Rodgers told his defense after the first day of training camp. Rodgers, and many others, were expecting the offense to have many rough days of practice with the defense winning out most days. However, this has not been the case for the first couple days of practice. The Packers offense is firing on all cylinders in training camp. Spectacular Catches The WRs were supposed to struggle. With the loss of Davante Adams experts were predicting that the Packers WRs would not impress anyone. At least in the short term, they were…

It’s only the first couple days of training camp but the Packers may have found a star receiver in the draft. 4th round pick Romeo Doubs was one of many WRs looking to make an impact and earn a roster spot. With injuries to some other WRs, Doubs has had the opportunity and boy has he taken advantage of it. Romeo Doubs is emerging as a top WR option in training camp. Great Skill Set Paying Off for Doubs Rookies have never had good luck with QB Aaron Rodgers. No rookie WR has ever gone over 600 yards in their…

Training camp is often a time for positional battles and fringe players fighting for roster spots. For Packers QB Jordan Love, it is something different. This is Love’s third year after the Packers spent a 1st round pick on him. This years training camp is Jordan Love’s last chance to impress. Love’s First Two Years The first couple of years have been anything but impressive for Jordan Love. In his defense, his rookie year was unprecedented.

Wisconsin has had no shortage of great running backs. The Badgers always seem to have a solid running game every season. One Wisconsin RB that had one of the greatest careers ever was Ron Dayne. Being a four year starter meant Dayne racked up a lot of yards throughout his career. Let’s take a look back at Ron Dayne’s amazing career Coming to Wisconsin Ron Dayne was 270 pounds coming out of high school meaning that many colleges were trying to recruit him at fullback. Notre Dame even had plans to put him at defensive tackle, a complete position change…

Much has been made about the Packers 1st round picks over the past couple of seasons. However, the real barometer of drafting prowess is the mid to late rounds. If you look at the historically good teams, they are able to find value in the later rounds. These players maybe will never become Pro Bowlers or have their face on team promotional material but they can have a profound impact. The fringe players on a team fill in the gaps and can make key plays that can swing a game in the team’s direction. The Packers are great at finding…

When the Packers hired Matt LaFleur in 2019, they had high hopes that he would be able to revitalize the offense and keep the Packers on top in the NFC North. I’m not sure they thought he would be this good. In his three seasons with Green Bay, he is a staggering 39-10. That is a shade under winning 80% of games. Let’s put this in context to understand Matt LaFleur’s historic winning percentage. Top All Time Winning Percentages LaFleur’s current winning percentage sits at .796. In order to get on the board for NFL history winning percentage you have…
