Good morning! In "Unscripted," Wes mentioned quarterbacks who were not given ample time to develop before being thrown into the fire of NFL competition, thus not only hindering the ability to reach their professional potential but also subverting the impact on their...
I tried this same composition by using a remote camera during the first night game of the season, but I didn't like the camera placement and final results. Using a remote camera can be a headache because you can't predict the unexpected. Once the camera is mounted in place and pre-focused, it's...
So if improvement isn't going to come from a major overhaul of X's and O's, it'll come from the personnel, and Pettine sees significant strides being made at several spots, starting with last year's first two draft picks.
Outside linebacker Rashan Gary is in line for a much larger role behind...

I'll admit it, you got me on ending with "Happy Thursday." I went up and checked, saw it was Friday, and then I lolled. Good one!

The Green Bay Packers are inviting student artists to submit artwork for the fourth annual Packers Student Art Contest, with three grand prize winners earning the opportunity for their art to be featured at Lambeau Field, a trip to a Packers home game and a donation for their school.

Were Wes's article and the Rock Report video about Vernon Scott planned to be posted on the same day? I am excited about his versatility and what he can bring to special teams. About his role on defense, do you think the Packers see him in the slot corner race or is...
Cliff Christl started gathering oral histories with former Packers and others associated with the team in 2000 and will continue to gather them as Packers historian. Excerpts from those interviews will be periodically posted at www.packers.com
Paul Held served as backup quarterback for the...

Hi Mike! Did you see the tweet by T.J. Lang? Hilarious story! I agree that the networks would have to bleep some on-field chatter if the NFL plays to empty stadiums.
Indubitably.

Curious, can you provide the contractual differences of the...
TCU initially slotted Scott at cornerback – his position in high school – before moving him to safety to give him a better chance at seeing the field. It still didn't happen for Scott, but it also didn't cause him to break from his yes-sir, no-sir mentality.
"He's very upbeat. That's part of...

Hi, great job guys. Just a statement to all Packers fans, I have seen lots of football in my years: NFL, college, 35 years as a WIAA football official. That being said, I can name over a dozen quarterbacks drafted in the first round who were out of the game in less than...
The "super raw" description was Diaz's from the recruiting process. It's what he remembered most about the Lake Worth, Fla., native as he tried to keep Garvin in his home state.
It's still applicable to the 20-year-old (he'll turn 21 in late July) who decided to enter the NFL Draft a year...

I appreciated A-Rod's press conference and his ultimate professionalism. I understand controllables we all have. What are the controllables he believes he lost with our drafting Jordan Love?
Aside from what I just mentioned, none really. My favorite line of his on...
Without naming names, Rodgers said he found some pros around the Los Angeles area to throw to "a couple times a week" to keep his arm in shape.
"The biggest change has been, you know, feeling like a kid throwing the football at the park," said Rodgers during a conference call with Green Bay...
Rodgers talked to Love the day after the Packers drafted him, and his first impression was Love has "a good head on his shoulders." He drew a parallel to both QBs not being heavily recruited out of high school and becoming first-round picks.
With Love now starting his pro career behind...
Brendon from Payette, ID
Still trying to figure out how we're better off with Josiah Deguara than we were with Danny Vitale. Is the money the Patriots gave Vitale that much more than what a late third-round draft pick receives?
The Packers didn't draft Deguara in the third round for him to...
Ryan from Noblesville, IN
Spoff, does Wes talking about his wee-little one give you baby fever and make you want to jump back on the saddle to have another kid?
Uh, no. I realize becoming an empty-nester in a couple of years will have its difficulties, so while I may not be desperate for...
First, anytime I come away with a diving catch or play I'm very happy. It's rare to come away from a game with an image like this, but I wish the action were a little closer to my shooting position. I find that the compression isn't quite right and the background is a little distracting. I...
