If you haven't gone to a practice, it's a lot of fun.

11 days to go! I can't wait. I usually go to the first practice, this year I may not make it. If that's the case I'll go to one the next week which is actually fine because the first few practices are non contact. Contact practices are more fun

One week from today. Awesome. I won't be able to make it the first day but I'll be there the next week at least once. Can't wait.

Expecting to be up there all this weekend to see the first 3 practices Fri-Sun. Shells the first two days, full pads on Sunday. Let's get it started!!!

A little advice would be to get there at least a hr early if u want seats without waiting in line.

If you get there when it starts you will be waiting outside the stands for about a hr before u get a seat.

Good advice. It does fill up, especially on weekends. Weekdays are better. The field is about 140 yards long. Usually the groups rotate somewhat so there's a good chance you'll see just about everyone up close. However you probably don't want to be on the far left side of the bleachers (as you're facing the field). When they do 7 on 7 and other full team drills they almost always are on the other end.

Some random predictions

CB=6 / S=4
Hyde is moved to S
Nixon grabs 5th CB

LB=9 Neal has one spot

DL=7
Miller secures reserve NT
Boyd & Daniels beat out Jolly
Don’t know what to expect from Wilson – could shine/probably cut unless 7 DL

OL=8
Lewis wins backup C over vanroten
Barclay makes it as reserve RG-RT if not starting RT
Have no idea who wins starting RT & backup LT

TE=4
Fierce competition at TE behind Finley
3 of Quarless vs Mulligan & Williams vs Bostick – taylor is toast

RB=4 / FB=0
Kuhn & Starks are released
Green joins Harris w/ 4 RB

WR=6
Johnson Boykin & Ross win other 3 WRs

QB=2
Campbell narrowly out does Harrell

ST – Franklin & Ross=KR / Ross=PR

I not sure Kuhn gets cut... I'd just be kinda surprised if that happened I guess

We'll make this the training camp discussion thread for generally day to day reports on practice, etc...

TOMORROW BABY. Love it.

What's the over/under on the amount of injuries that occur during camp?

From this morning's MM presser:

Last summer, injuries hit Green Bay hard in July and August. Across the board, the Packers dealt with major injuries (see: Desmond Bishop, Davon House) and many, many minor injuries. As a result, McCarthy admits the team didn't have "the rhythm and timing as a team coming out of training camp that we had in prior years."

So this off-season, McCarthy restructured camp in several ways. He noted "six or seven" specific adjustments to camp.

"Every year it seems like you have a position that is stressed by injuries, it’s part of the training camp process," McCarthy said. "Frankly, I refer to it as a preseason camp, because it is different than the traditional training camp. I have all the confidence that we will do a better job being healthier. There’s certain stress points in the camp, particularly how many days you practice in a row and what you do in those particular days. You may notice the changes, you may not.

"I’m confident it will help us be a healthier team, which gives you a chance to practice and gain the consistency and conformity that you want coming out of training camp."

I wonder what Greg Jennings thinks about the Packers starting training camp tomorrow.

I like how the headline for that article is worded on the jsonline homepage:

Mike McCarthy on preventing injuries, Greg Jennings

Asher · Post #18 » by **Asher** » Thu Jul 25, 2013 10:13 pm

poll: which jennings is more annoying: brandon or greg?

So this is what happens when you let Greg Jennings be a face of your franchise.
