Likes And Dislikes From Practice

Third-year safety Morgan Burnett is having an outstanding training camp

GREEN BAY- Here are my 7 likes and dislikes from Thursday’s practice (the first I’ve seen in person this summer):

1) I liked watching a young quarterback who can really sling the ball. Seventh-round pick B.J. Coleman has a lot to learn and his accuracy is hit or miss, but his physical skills are obvious. Mike McCarthy has made decent quarterbacks out of players with a lot less ability.

2) I liked watching second-year running back Alex Green turn it loose. He doesn’t look like a player less than nine months removed from major knee surgery. He’s going to make an impact this season.

3) I liked watching the right side of the offensive line dominate. A completely healthy Josh Sitton looks as good as ever and Bryan Bulaga looks like he’s ready to go from being very good to being great.

4) I liked watching the energy defensive lineman Daniel Muir and cornerback Davon House bring to the defense. That side of the ball often looked like the walking dead last season. They often played that way too.

5) I liked watching three-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker Clay Matthews hustle all over the field like a free agent trying to make the team. That’s why he’s so special. Of course, the immense natural talent also helps a bit.

6) I liked watching Dezman Moses get physical with running backs. I’m still not sure if he has the physical skills to ever be a starter, but he’s a better prospect than Vic So’oto, last summer’s rookie sensation.

7) I liked watching safety Morgan Burnett mature before my very eyes. This isn’t the same timid player who often went unnoticed on the practice field a year ago. This player appears destined for big things.

1) I disliked watching new No. 2 quarterback Graham Harrell too often settle for check downs when wide receivers were open down the field. He’s definitely improved from a year ago, but he’s nowhere near as impressive as Matt Flynn was in his third training camp.

2) I disliked watching undersized right defensive ends C.J. Wilson and Jerel Worthy get pushed around at times. Offenses are going to run a lot to the left against the Packers, and there’s a good chance they’ll find success. It would be nice to see Lawrence Guy step up. He has ideal size for the position.

3) I disliked watching backup right guard Ray Dominguez leave practice with an ankle injury. The offensive line was extremely thin even before arguably the group’s seventh-best player got carted off the field.

4) I disliked watching inside linebacker A.J. Hawk continue to hold down a starting position. He gives 100%, but he’s exactly the type of marginal veteran player that coaches are almost always looking to replace.

5) I disliked watching cornerback Sam Shields struggle to defend some of the same receivers he blanketed two summers ago. He wasn’t bad, but he’s definitely a young player who needs a boost in confidence.

6) I disliked watching the coaches waste precious snaps on Jarrett Bush at right corner. He’s not the answer, and based on what I saw, Shields, House and rookie Casey Hayward need all the reps they can get.

7) I didn’t like watching practice come to an end. There’s few better things to do on a beautiful summer night than watch the Packers play – even when it’s against themselves. Family Night should be a real blast!

Dominguez Offers Big Potential

Second-year offensive lineman Ray Dominguez is still learning to play inside

I noticed that Ray Dominguez was playing out of position the moment I laid eyes on him at training camp last summer. Why it took Mike McCarthy and offensive line coach James Campen so long to realize he wasn’t a tackle is a mystery, but they did eventually move the massive rookie to right guard. He immediately showed improvement. I’m anxious to see just how much improvement he’s made in the past year.

Dominguez wasn’t drafted despite starting 33 games in the SEC in part because he ran a 5.45 40 at the combine. And while that time is slow even for an offensive lineman, the former Arkansas standout looked pretty athletic on the practice field. In fact, he probably moved better than starters Josh Sitton and T.J. Lang.

Ironically, the 340-pounder’s biggest problem a year ago was a lack of strength. Despite his size, Domiguez didn’t create much of a push on running plays. That was probably due to his body. He looked more like a contestant from The Biggest Loser than a pro football player. Heck, he was flabby even for an offensive lineman. His body should look a lot better after an offseason in the weight room, and if it does, his play should also improve. That would be a potential boon for a position that lacks depth.

(I’ll be at practice tonight and at the Family Night scrimmage tomorrow. Check back all weekend for new posts.)

Packers Lack Quality Depth At Guard

I didn’t think Evan Dietrich-Smith was a legitimate NFL player two summers ago. After re-watching his three starts from late last season, I’ve changed my mind. He’s definitely a legitimate NFL player; he’s just not a guard. While the 26-year-old managed to survive in 188 snaps against the Giants, Oakland and Chicago, he wasn’t very impressive. The feeling here is that the Packers need to find a better No. 3 guard and allow EDS to concentrate on backing up 37-year-old center Jeff Saturday.

Dietrich-Smith is a fundamentally sound lineman who plays with an aggressive and nasty temperament. He generally stays on his feet and he often packs a punch on contact. What he lacks is athleticism. He got exposed in space quite often – especially against the Giants – and he really struggled to hit moving targets. I counted at least five plays where Dietrich-Smith’s inability to adjust to movement almost got Aaron Rodgers sacked. In each instance, only the MVP quarterback’s quick release or uncanny escapability kept him from getting taken to the ground.

The Packers can obviously get through a game or two with Dietrich-Smith at guard, but I think he’d become a liability if forced to play for an extended period of time. Ideally, one of the young linemen will step up in training camp and seize the backup position. Unfortunately, the odds of that happening aren’t very good. Ray Dominguez finished last season on the active roster, but he still has a lot to learn after starting 33 games at tackle in college. The remainder of the potential backups are either undrafted free agents or veterans who are more comfortable outside.

I used to think Jaymes Brooks had a chance to replace Dietrich-Smith as the No. 3 guard, but that was before the talented rookie from Virginia Tech injured his hamstring and sat out the entire offseason. There’s no guarantee he’ll be ready for the start of camp, and even if he is, he’ll be way behind. There’s always a chance GM Ted Thompson will acquire a veteran during the summer, but don’t bet on it. That means Dietrich-Smith will likely enter his second season as the team’s top backup at all three interior offensive line positions. And while that’s not my biggest concern in July, it could be if something happens to one of the starting guards or tackles in October.

Review: Packers At Colts

McDonald needs to get stronger in the upper body

McDonald needs to get stronger in the upper body

People say you only have to watch the last two minutes of an NBA game. Well, that saying proved true for the NFL on Friday night in Indianapolis. The Packers, who couldn’t do a thing on offense for the first 28 minutes of the second half, scored 11 points in the final 35 seconds to beat the Colts 24-21. After re-watching the entire game (hey, what else is there to do with a hurricane bearing down on the Northeast?), here are three thoughts:

1] The depth on the offensive line could be a problem. Backup tackles Derek Sherrod and Marshall Newhouse have bright futures, but I’m not sure either is ready to take on some of the NFL’s best defensive ends. While Sherrod looks a lot more comfortable at tackle, he still had trouble keeping rushers away from the quarterback on Friday. And it wasn’t just one type of player that gave him problems. He was beaten by power and by speed. It looks like this year’s No. 1 pick could be spending his game days as one of the inactives – at least early on. Newhouse is the better player now, but he’s had his share of problems in protection as well. He needs to be more consistent with his footwork. He has a tendency to shuffle to cut off the rush instead of kick-sliding. The former TCU star might be OK if pressed into service, but can Green Bay take that chance?

The situation on the interior isn’t a whole lot better. While Nick McDonald played his finest game of the preseason on Friday, he hasn’t shown the strength in practice (or last week against the Cardinals) to consistently hold his own against powerful defensive tackles. The former Grand Valley State star relies more on technique than on natural ability, and that’s a tough way to make a living for a young player. Ray Dominguez often looks awful in those one-on-one drills in practice, but he does OK in the games. I think he’s a better long-term prospect than either McDonald or rookie Caleb Schlauderaff, but he’s not ready to step in and play either. Evan Dietrich-Smith is the team’s best current option to replace any of the interior starters. He doesn’t have much talent or upside (that’s why he was cut a year ago), but he usually finds a way to get the job done. The best option, however, might be to acquire a veteran after final cuts.

2] I know outside linebackers Jamari Lattimore and especially Vic So’oto played well against the Colts, but I wouldn’t be so quick to get rid of Brad Jones – especially with Frank Zombo expected to miss at least a few regular season games. While the former Colorado star hasn’t made very many plays this summer, there’s something to be said for experience. He’s started 12 games since joining Green Bay in 2009 and the team has won 9 of them. Jones doesn’t have the speed of Lattimore or the size of So’oto, but he knows the scheme and he’s seldom caught out of position. The same can’t be said for So’oto, who has struggled to diagnose running plays in practices and games. He also doesn’t move in space nearly as well as Jones. As for Lattimore, he simply can’t play outside linebacker at 230 pounds. He might be able to contribute on special teams and as a pass rush specialist this season, but that’s about it.

If Zombo were healthy, I’d consider releasing Jones to make room for one or maybe even both of the undrafted free agents. But as things stand now, the Packers need to have at least one experienced outside linebacker behind Clay Matthews and Erik Walden. I still think Lattimore has a higher ceiling than So’oto, but it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if the former BYU star grabs the roster spot. He’s more equipped to play right away. Besides, the odds of another team claiming Lattimore on waivers are low. There’s not a huge need for 230-pounders who are still learning how to play with their hand off the ground.

3] If it comes down to it, I’d keep a fifth tight end over a fourth running back, a second fullback, a 10th offensive lineman or a sixth cornerback. That’s because either Andrew Quarless, D.J. Williams or Tom Crabtree would have more value to the team this season than Dimitri Nance, Quinn Johnson, Dietrich-Smith, Schlauderaff, Pat Lee or Josh Gordy. Besides, which tight end would you get rid of? Quarless is the best option should something happen to Finley. Williams has cooled down after a hot start, but he’s too talented to give up on after only five weeks. And Crabtree is the best special teams player and the strongest blocker.

If the numbers don’t add up and the Packers absolutely positively have to get rid of a tight end, I’d very reluctantly dump Williams. As much as I like the former Arkansas star, the emergence of fellow rookie Ryan Taylor has made him less important to the team’s present and to its future. Speaking of Taylor, the more I see of him, the more he reminds me of Mark Chmura. Both players were drafted in the late rounds out of a current Atlantic Coast Conference school and they are similar in size. The Packers can only hope Taylor develops into a Chewy clone on the football field – and a much better human being off of it.

Massive Rookie Has Potential

Dominguez started ... games at tackle for the Razorbacks

After reading some really negative things about Ray Dominguez, I was expecting to see a combination of Breno Giacomini and Allan Barbre when I watched the former Arkansas star play right tackle against the Browns last Saturday. Instead, I found myself pleasantly surprised and more than a little intrigued by the massive rookie. Unlike the two former flops mentioned earlier, Dominguez actually looks like he has a chance to play at this level.

While Dominguez lacks the lateral agility and the quick feet to be a full-time right tackle – at least in the Packers’ offense – he could probably get the team through a game if necessary. That’s because he appears to possess decent body control, incredibly strong hands and a lot of tenacity. Those three things, along with a little help from his friends at running back and tight end, might be enough to allow Aaron Rodgers to survive for a quarter or two with Dominguez protecting his front side. But if the 340-pounder is going to have a long-term future in Green Bay, it’ll be at guard. And with none of the backup interior linemen distinguishing themselves thus far in camp, there just might be room for a player who seems to be getting a little better every day.

Speaking of the backup interior linemen, I haven’t been particularly impressed with sixth-round pick Caleb Schlauderaff, Nick McDonald or Evan Dietrich-Smith. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Bob McGinn praised the play of undrafted free agent Sampson Genus against Cleveland, so I focused my attention on the former South Florida star. The first thing I noticed was how tiny he looked standing next to Dominguez; the next thing I noticed was how competently the natural center performed at right guard. He seemed reasonably athletic for a guy who ran a snail-like 40 (5.50) at the NFL Combine in February.

Chad Clifton, Bryan Bulaga, Scott Wells, Josh Sitton, T.J. Lang, Derek Sherrod and (probably) Marshall Newhouse are guaranteed roster spots, so that’ll leave eight players battling for two jobs (I don’t think there’s enough talent to merit keeping 10 at this position). It’s probably safe to dismiss Adrian Battles, Theo Sherman and Chris Campbell from the competition. That leaves Schlauderaff, McDonald, Dietrich-Smith, Dominguez and Genus. McDonald impressed enough people last summer to be carried on the active roster all season even though he wasn’t anywhere near ready to play at this level. Based on past history (Giacomini, Barbre, Junius Coston, etc.), that almost always ensures a second season.

The final spot could come down to Schlauderaff, Dominguez and Genus (Dietrich-Smith’s experience can’t be discounted, but he was cut last summer and he doesn’t look any better 12 months later). Of the three, Dominguez would be the most likely to get claimed on waivers on his way to the practice squad. That’s because quite a few teams were interested in signing him as an undrafted free agent last month, and as we’ve all heard so many times, you can’t coach size. Of course, he’ll need to show some potential at guard in order to make Thompson wary of losing him to another team – and he’ll need to do it in a hurry. That won’t be easy, but based on what I saw last Saturday night, it’s far from impossible.
