Gut Reactions: 2015 Packers Training Camp Practice #1

Aaron's gut reactions from the first training camp practice of 2015.

  • You're going to be hearing the name LaDarius Gunter. Picking up where he left off over the offseason, Gunter popped in drill work, catching your eye with his explosiveness and fluidity, and then made the first interception of camp when he picked off a fade Jared Abbrederis from Aaron Rodgers. Don't put him in Canton yet, but the kid certainly took advantage of Quinten Rollins' absence today. 
  • Speaking of Abbrederis, he was spotted getting a ride back to the stadium shortly after that play. 
  • Daniels, Raji and Guion, if healthy and un-suspended, are going to be more than serviceable as your base defensive line. 
  • Winston Moss took time out of a coverage drill to point a few things out to Jayrone Elliot. Mostly it was about alignment when knowing you have man coverage. 
  • Julius Peppers is just a complete freak of nature. I'm astounded every time I see him in person. 
  • Rajion Neal looks good, but he had a bad fumble in team when a defender ripped the ball right out of his arm. 
  • Brett Hundley had one really nice throw in team on a deep out to the far hash. It's the kind of throw I rarely, if ever, saw on his college tape. 
  • Hundley, it should be pointed out, was running behind Matt Blanchad. You get the feeling Blanchard is more than just a camp arm. 
  • As he did last year, McCarthy had the first team offense start inside the Don Hutson Center, no doubt working on their creme brulee recipes
  • I understand why the CBA has the no-pads practice to start camp off. It makes sense to get guys back into the groove. I think having them practice without pads again tomorrow is silly. 
  • Clay Matthews started at inside linebacker, but he did jump outside opposite Peppers quite a little bit as well. 
  • Mason Crosby missed from 40 and 45, both times wide left, both times rookie punter Cody Mandell was the holder. 
  • Mandell hit the ball well when punting with Masthay, but if Crosby keeps missing when he's holding, the punting battle will be over before it begins. 
  • It was great to see Randall Cobb taking ever ball that ended up in his hands to the house. That's old-school goodness right there. 

That's a quick summation of what I saw today. More to come throughout the week. Hope you all check out Transplants tonight

Go Pack Go.

That was quick! Get to work! You have a big weekend ahead of you and can't be wasting your time making sure you are first after every practice update. I was going to go with Moses/Elliot camp darling but I guess Zombo/Pennel works too. Now the question is offensive camp darling. Who will be 2015's Jazzy Jeff Janis???

Don't forget Vic Soto! My candidates for this year's darlings: James Vaughters and Adrian Coxson. Not to discount Gunter but I thought I would throw a couple more names out there. And I'm hoping Pennel makes it two straight!

My sleeper pick to make the roster is Gunter. He has great size. Great ability's.

Another guy who I think will make it is Rajion Neal. He will have to learn from his fumble, but his receiving ability will make him an attractive option as a 3rd RB.

I'm hoping Rollins gets back soon. I'm anxious to see how he looks.

You and I both RC, I think he's going to be the better of the two picks. I just hope it's not one of those lingering hamstring injuries. The Packers need one of those first 2 picks to step up and I have a good feeling about Rollins.

He was back in pads at practice today. Did most of his work out of the slot.

I understand that the majority of you guys are probably from the Wisconsin area and like the idea of Abby on this team, but imo he's another Nick Perry..

A first round draft pick failing to live up to his pedigree?

I would almost agree but Abby will never play a single game. Glass Abby.

Excellent synopsis and good observations. I attended the last open OTA and Cobb just plain stood out. It is hard to believe that the contracts given to Nelson and Cobb look like they were "team friendly". It is common nature to complain about high paid athletes but you don't hear that about these two, the team is very fortunate to match talent with character in both cases.

Odd that Crosby can dictate who the punter is by shanking-em when the new guys holding. Doesn't quite seem fair.

I wanted to see Crockett get some reps. Considering he'd probably be behind Neal anyway on the depth chart, he's really going to have to shine if and when his injury heals. So important for the youngsters to show what they've got - else might not get another chance.

Would have liked to have seen Mike Neal address the abdominal injury in the off season(same for Sittons toe). Why do I get the feeling we're going to hear all season long about those two and their nagging injuries.

Read somewhere that Rollins injury came post mini-camp and OTA's. Not a good sign.

Cause they'd have to disclose the nature of the injuries during the camps and at least we'd know. If it's non-football related it could be anything. Don't like could be anything.

I really hope you're right about Gunter. Packers could use another CB. Crockett looks headed to IR already, if he's any good. He's going to be totally lost even if he can get back to training camp. Rollins also quickly falling behind, especially for someone so inexperienced. Looking at CBs, I'm hoping the Pack has one helluva pass rush unit this year. Absolutely must have another monster year from Julius Peppers. The offensive player I'm most interested in is Richard Rogers. There's a lot of upside available at the TE position for this offense. Can he be the guy?

Waiting for full pads before I get too excited about anyone but Gunter has been a pleasant surprise so far this year. Keep it up young man.

Its a shame Rollins wasnt able to practice right away but maybe they want to give him a little more time to heal before they have him do his conditioning test. Guys go on PUP or NFI if they cant pass that test at the start of camp.
