Green Bay Packers news, rumors and injuriesPackers | John Kuhn blocking well Mon, 21 Jul 2014 08:15:00 -0700 Green Bay Packers FB John Kuhn didn't have a quarterback pressure in 325 snaps last season, with half of the snaps coming in spread formations. "He did block better," an NFC North scout said. "He can cover you up as a lead (blocker) but he's just not great there. He's valuable because he's really good in pass protection and he can catch the ball."

Comment () | Share: Packers | Julius Peppers may move around Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:23:52 -0700 Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers said LB Julius Peppers may move around on the defense and play a "hybrid" type role for the team. "I can tell you that things we've asked him to do, he's done a nice job of," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said of Peppers. "He'll be one of those, quote, hybrid-type guys. He'll rush, he'll drop, he'll do a lot of different things. "He'll play different spots for us. I'm glad we have him. He's a rare guy from a talent standpoint. He's done a nice job mentally of picking up what we're asking him to do and, quite frankly, has looked pretty comfortable doing it." Comment () | Share: Packers | Clay Matthews must prove he can stay healthy Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:22:48 -0700 Green Bay Packers LB Clay Matthews (thumb) believes he will be ready for the start of training camp, but must prove he can stay healthy once he does return. "He has to show that he can line up and stay healthy," linebackers coach Winston Moss said. Comment () | Share: Packers | More on Eddie Lacy's snap count Thu, 17 Jul 2014 05:32:47 -0700 Updating a previous report, the Green Bay Packers want to keep RB Eddie Lacy on the field for all three downs, not necessarily to touch the ball more, but to keep substitutions from slowing down the offense. He'll need to improve his pass blocking and should see an increase in targets. Lacy is a solid RB1 that could see more value in PPR leagues than last season. Comment () | Share: Packers | Several in mix for No. 5 RB job Wed, 16 Jul 2014 20:36:34 -0700 If the Green Bay Packers elect to keep five running backs on the roster, there is a wide open battle behind RBs Eddie Lacy, James Starks, DuJuan Harris and FB John Kuhn. RBs Michael Hill, Raijon Neal, LaDarius Perkins and Ina Liaina will try to prove they belong during training camp and the preseason. Comment () | Share: Packers | Want Eddie Lacy to be more involved Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:25:45 -0700 Green Bay Packers RB Eddie Lacy will try to be more involved in all aspects of the game, according to offensive coordinator Tom Clements. Clements admitted the team hasn't figured out how many carries they want Lacy to have this year. Fantasy Tip: Perhaps this means Lacy will be more involved in the passing game this year. It's easy to speculate at this point in time, but as long as Lacy is healthy, he should be an RB1 in 2014. Comment () | Share: Packers | Jermichael Finley to undergo more tests Tue, 15 Jul 2014 00:23:13 -0700 Free-agent TE Jermichael Finley (Packers) plans to undergo another round of tests Wednesday, July 16, and he will send those tests to all 32 teams in an effort to show that he is fully healthy.

Comment () | Share: Packers | Looking for faster offense Mon, 14 Jul 2014 11:05:47 -0700 Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy would like to run 75 offensive plays per game this upcoming season so the opponents would have less time to adjust. "I've always been of the belief of getting as many shots as you can, so we've always emphasized playing as fast as you can. When you have as many three-down players as you can possibly have, obviously your substitution patterns are cleaner. You're not subbing because you have to, you're subbing just when you need to," McCarthy said. The team ran an average of 67.125 plays per game in 2013, which ranked 11th in the NFL. Comment () | Share: Packers | Jarrett Boykin has hold of No. 3 WR job Sat, 12 Jul 2014 08:56:53 -0700 Green Bay Packers WR Jarrett Boykin will be entering training camp as the No. 3 wide receiver, and it will be hard for one of the other wide receivers to outperform him for the job. Comment () | Share: Packers | Competition for starting TE job wide open Sat, 12 Jul 2014 08:47:36 -0700 Green Bay Packers tight ends coach Jerry Fontenot said the competition for the starting tight end job will be wide open when training camp starts. "I think we are pretty wide open at this point," Fontenot said. "I think guys have shown some progress, and those guys warrant a much bigger look. And I think once we get to training camp, we'll have an idea of a rotation, at least, and giving guys reps just to make sure they're ready to start the season." TE Andrew Quarless may be the safest option to start at this point, but TE Richard Rodgers could start in the near future because of his performance during offseason workouts. Comment () | Share:  |
