Oh, and they still have Colledge as guard. I guess they're not seeing what you're seeing, Pack93.

Yes.. guess not.. but it is early yet.

I hope he makes a marked improvement if they keep him inside.. if not, they are wasting a natural talent IMO.

they've said over and over that he's going to stay there. McCarthy has said recently, around draft time I think, that Colledge will be starting Guard.

Defense is bringing it now that they're getting more exotic with pressures. Bob Sanders don't live no mo

lol Bedard.

Interesting to note Driver is missing. Woodson is a mild surprise, but it doesn't seem like it's strange he'd miss that considering past years.


I have wonder, does anyone else immediately think of "contract issue" when reading a player is missing. Besides Collins, when I read Driver and Woodson were no shows, I immediately felt a touch of dread that it was over dissatisfaction over their contracts. :-?

Perhaps all the recent talk about new contracts, and hold outs aimed at getting new contracts have taken their toll.

I have to imagine it will only help our O-line to see multiple pressure looks throughout OTAs and training camp.

Driver has signed like three extensions in two years. If he was unhappy with his money, he wouldn't be signing anything.

Woodson is one of the highest paid players on this football team.

Their contracts shouldn't be an issue.

And Thompson is probably playing on the first team because Clay Matthews, for an unknown reason, is not practicing.

A little testy with the attendance think I... pretty sure Harrell was given "the talk" about make or break in GB.

Sourcy.... 

Practice over; McCarthy up next
Today's OTA practice has ended. If you missed it so far -- are you in a cave? -- check out my updates on Twitter. I'll post an expanded report in a bit.

For now, I might as well repost the roll call here ...

Absent: Nick Collins, Donald Driver, Charles Woodson, Nick Barnett, Tyrell Sutton, Brandon Underwood, Travis Dekker.

Limited or did not participate: Alfred Malone, Atari Bigby, Cullen Jenkins, Breno Giacomini, Clay Matthews, Chad Clifton, Scott Wells, Lorne Sam, Brad Jones.

Coach Mike McCarthy will be at the podium shortly. Refresh here for updates.

UPDATE: Here we go ...

* Attendance: Ten players that did not participate because of medical veterans, including seven veterans. Three younger players: Sam (abdominal strain), Matthews (hamstring strain), Jones (slight groin strain). Jones did not participate on Wednesday either. Absentees include Driver, Woodson, Collins. Doesn't want to address personal/professional stuff. Sutton and Underwood absent for school. Dekker has been placed on reserve/military.

* On Jenkins: Had some work on ankle. "He's close." Probably will be back for training camp, maybe end of OTAs.

* On Clifton: Not concerned about those guys. Wells shoulder, Barnett has personal situation plus knee but is "doing very well", Giacomini is ankle and "very close."

* How does Kampman look? "I think this defense is going to help Aaron Kampman." Always hesistancy when asked to do something different. First and second down different. Moves well in space, spent lot of individual time with Kevin Greene. Greene and Capers feel good about where Kampman is at.

* On Harrell: Thinks he fits well. Will play defensive end, also inside player in subpackages. "My expectations for Justin are to stay healthy."

* How important for Justin Harrell to be here and going through OTAs? "It's very important. It's an opportunity to improve."

* Compare/contrast where are with Aaron Rodgers vs. a year ago? "I just think Aaron Rodgers today has more credibility with his teammates and probably with the media and the fanbase." No one who watched practice every day questioned Rodgers' ability. Can build on consistency showed as first-year starter. "He's had an excellent offseason. It's been to watch him" go through QB school with Brian Brohm and Matt Flynn.

* Content with three quarterbacks, or thinking about four? Not thinking about a fourth. Danger of not having a No. 4 is not having extra arm. But there are more reps to go around with only three.

* Overall impressions of practice today: Tempo was very good. Had plus-7, plus-8 (minutes). Defense had 22 mental errors on Wednesday and offense had nine -- but that happens. "I think the overall work that we've done has been good." This time of year is getting all 80 players on the same page.

* Short of Mark Tauscher coming back, right tackle going to be inexperienced. What think of options? Positive of offensive line group is have had number of players play 2-3 positions.

* What went into decision to open center position? "There's nothing like competition. Scott Wells has been a very good starter for us." Fighting through injuries. It's a product of offensive line with depth, which has increased in recent years.

* Tramon Williams unsigned but practicing. What tell about him? "I can't say enough about him. He works every day, always has a smile on his face. He's a very gifted young man. ... I think he's got big days in front of him." Respects how Williams goes about business and have told him so.

* Expect to have Woodson, Driver, Collins next week? Done with addressing attendance.

* Happy with 3-4 transition so far? "Absolutely." Change he felt needed to be made. Players can be more aggressive, play with more vision.

* Breaking defensive players' habits key? "New techniques, new language."

* Where gauge B.J. Raji in terms of football IQ? "I think he's well-coached." Picks up things well. Communicates well. Been impressed with Raji so far.

McCarthy on start of OTAs
By Greg A. Bedard of the Journal Sentinel
May. 28, 2009 1:22 p.m.

Green Bay - The locker room will be open at the same time that Mike McCarthy is speaking so I'm only going to listen to McCarthy for a few minutes to get the news. I'll be back later for a full recap on what he had to say.

He will start in a few minutes:

* Seven veterans not participating because of injuries or whatever.
* Lorne Sam (abdominal strain), Clay Matthews (hamstring strain) and Brad Jones (groin) were out with minor injuries.
* Cullen Jenkins is close put will probably be out until training camp.
* Not concerned about any of the veterans with injuries being out. They're making good progress.
* Driver, Woodson and Collins were not here and McCarthy didn't offer more of a comment.
* On Justin Harrell: I think Justin fits well. Will definitely play end. Has to be healthy.
* Thought tempo was good at practice. Guys are in shape.
* 22 mental errors yesterday for the defense.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
