Packers Focus On Safety Position

June 6th, 2016 at 11:19am CST by Zach Links



While the league seems to be more focused on other positions, the Packers have elevated the importance of safeties, Scott Venci of USA Today writes.

“My personal belief is that the tight end position on offense and the safety position on defense has now gone into that level of importance,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “If you look at the rule changes, you look at the matchups, you look at the body types, the league has opened up the middle of the field. So I think everybody’s conscious of that and from a personnel acquisition standpoint, it’s something that you see the trend. It’s been going on and the importance of attacking the middle of the field with big athletic football players. With that you’ve got to have people who can defend it. We’re very fortunate to have the safety group we have.”

The Packers’ philosophy has led to them having one of the best safety tandems in the NFL with Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Morgan Burnett. In the long run, keeping both players will cost Green Bay. Burnett is under contract through the 2017 season with cap numbers of $5.95MM and $7MM in each of the next two years. Clinton-Dix is under his rookie deal through 2017, though the Packers can pick up his fifth-year option to retain him through 2018.

I think a farm league like baseball has is a great idea.
It would let the NFL grow players and call them up in the event of injury or if a guy is lighting it up. I think it would also help expand the fan base if you put these teams in areas that don't have an NFL team today.

Absolutely.  Plus it would help separate professional athletes from professional students.  It would encourage the return of moral ethics to college sports.

Keep an eye on this rookie ILB.  He is going to be a dandy one.

Blake Martinez pushing Sam Barrington at inside linebacker

The fourth-round pick took snaps with the No. 1 defense during the Packers' OTAs and looks to continue doing so in minicamp.

Comment From JACK CHARLES

How many recievers do you see the packers keeping? if only 6, who gets the boot?

5 days ago

Ryan Wood

I think 7 receivers is a real possibility. For that to happen, the Packers would have to probably keep either 3 tight ends or 3 offensive tackles. Might not be able to pad the defensive line for the first couple weeks, which could be ideal with Mike Pennel on suspension. So, yes, seven is a real possibility, but if it's only six I see it coming down to Trevor Davis and Jared Abbrederis. In a perfect world, the Packers probably would start the season on practice squad. With his speed, they might not have that luxury if he plays well in the preseason. To me, the WR battle will be the most interesting in camp. The amazing thing: the five guys behind Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb have been drafted in the past three years, and you know how Ted Thompson loves his draft picks.

James Jones Willing to Return to Packers Should Need Arise

June 11th, 2016 at 12:40pm CST by Ben Levine

I don't believe there much chance of this with 7 young players showing signs of possibly making the roster.  Thanks for last season, though.

The Packers have solid depth across the board in the secondary, but Evans possesses a very unique set of skills. Hopefully, he can be one of the next best undrafted gems in this league.

Jared Abbrederis earns lofty praise from McCarthy



Jared Abbrederis spent the last few months adding a bit of muscle to his wiry frame.

By Michael Cohen of the Journal Sentinel

Green Bay — As the majority of receiver-based headlines focused on Jordy Nelson’s knee and Jeff Janis’ role, Jared Abbrederis glided through the off-season in relative obscurity. He popped into the spotlight against the Arizona Cardinals and, over the next few months, receded into the background as just one of the guys at a crowed position.

But his translucence ended Thursday, the last day of mandatory minicamp for the Green Bay Packers, when coach Mike McCarthy spoke glowingly of Abbrederis and his progress.

“I think Jared had his best offseason,” McCarthy said. “I think his route running is exemplary for a young guy. His ability to recognize coverages, and his time clock, his breaking points, his ability to drop his weight. Just all the specifics and details and techniques of route running, I think he's exceptional...
