OK Formo, by todays rules, this is a dirty play. When Lawrence Taylor did things like this we were awe struck. Well, everyone but Joe Theisenmann.

He deserved his penalty, but does the league give him a fine.

I was waiting for this.

Weird.. I dunno.

Even the head of referees said that was a bad call. I forget the guy's name.

Legal or illegal, I like the play. Ray jumps over the cut block and ends up showing off his athleticism. I like it.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

Didn't even look like he hit Stafford's helmet to me.

I thought it was a great play myself but then again the NFL is turning into flag football, he will get a $5000 fine good thing he didn't try and hand the ref a $5 as he was flying thru the air, the fine would be bigger. I still really don't see the helmet to helmet hit looks more like his shoulder.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I thought it was a bad call when I saw it the first time. I still think it was a bad call.

If it weren't a Viking, I'd call it an amazing athletic play. (since it's a viking, of course, I won't). 🙂

I think they called it because he made no attempt make contact with anything other than his helmet. He keeps his arms back and leads with only his head. It was a great job avoiding the block but I can understand why it was called. Unfortunate for the Vikes.

Looked like a helluva play by Ray, the only downfall was him aiming his head down towards Stafford.

He aimed his head towards Stafford, but it looked like the side of Edward's helmet might've scratched the bottom side of Stafford's. That was just one hell of a play.

Good call, I guess. It's a rule thing. They don't want any judgement calls, so any helmet contact will automatically result in a penalty. Can't blame the refs here.

Yep, i heard later that he also gave stafford a dirty look. Should be 100k fine just for that. Gotta protect the qb's feelings.

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.

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.
