He's no Khalil Mack, but Reggie Gilbert looks real for Packers· Page 2

The article title is correct. Gilbert is in fact "real" (as "real" as any of us are, which is highly debatable, but that's a story for another thread). He's just not "real good." Hopefully he will prove to at least be serviceable depth though, which is something the Packers have lacked for years. I'm still a little skeptical that Gilbert will make any impact, but we'll see.

I still predict Biegel will be better than Gilbert.

As for Fackrell, dude is the AJ Hawk of OLBs. He doesn't suck, he's just not that good. Needs to get mean.

Datone was another converted lineman. Run stuffer, like Perry.

Gilbert has kept looking good. Hopefully he will do that in the regular season.
Biegel.....I expected more from him. He just hasn’t lived up to what I thought he would be.
He needs to step it up or he will be another Wisconsin player to under achieve on the Packers.

Mucky Tundra (31-May) : @AndyHermanNFL Sean Rhyan getting some reps at center in walkthroughs. They are rotating guys everywhere.

Mucky Tundra (31-May) : or that might have been an individual drill thing

Mucky Tundra (31-May) : that was from the 29th but I've seen other combs (including Rhyan@C)

Mucky Tundra (31-May) : @ByRyanWood Without Elgton Jenkins and Zach Tom, #Packers starting OL: Rasheed Walker, Jordan Morgan, Josh Myers, Sean Rhyan, Andre Dillard.

Martha Careful (31-May) : I have never seen an OTA, but who is lining up at LT and RG with starters? or is it all individual drills?

Zero2Cool (30-May) : Bears are the first team to be selected for Hard Knocks

dfosterf (29-May) : Andy Herman and his Pack a day podcast put up GB strengths yesterday. This morning he did weaknesses. They are both very good.

Zero2Cool (25-May) : Yes.

beast (24-May) : Does he say what it is?

Zero2Cool (22-May) : Christian Watson believes he has discovered the root cause his soft-tissue leg injuries

Zero2Cool (22-May) : Savage played last half of season with tear in rotator cuff

Zero2Cool (22-May) : SISSIES!!!!

Mucky Tundra (22-May) : Sounds like both Kraft and Tom were injuried before OTAs began

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Not serious but waiting for strength and conditioning coach referwnces.

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Tom and Kraft both injured(pectoral muscle),

Zero2Cool (20-May) : I feel similar about person and product/service.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills

Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
