[QUOTE="net, post: 75477, member: 200"] Several years ago, OTA's didn't exist. You had a mini-camp and training camp. Training camp is the real deal. They have on pads and they block, tackle, pass and run for real. This is flag football. I keep seeing talk of a "new system". Correct me if I'm wrong, but McCarthy is running the West Coast Offense? Isn't that the basic offense that has been run here since Mike Holmgren? This isn't a new offense as much as tweaking the current system. Brett didn't seem to have any trouble with it, did he? Javon Walker found the Denver offense to be not that far away from Green Bay's....WCO. The main difference will be the blocking along the offensive line. Except for a couple guys hurt, they all seem to be there. Seems like they are learning. "Zone" blocking is actually easier than the system the Packers employed last year. It's basically find an area, find a person and block them as opposed to picking an individual as an assignment. On defense, isn't it the Bates defense? Seems like all but a few starters and regulars have been pretty well versed in it. For Charles Woodson it's an easier system than he had in Oakland. Find a receiver and play bump-and-run. This isn't rocket science. A. Carroll figured it out for cryin' out loud. No one seems to be too concerned that A.J. Hawk isn't here. Whether "excused' or not, the "sky is falling" crowd seems to think missing flag football practice(contact isn't allowed) is the end of the Green Bay Packers. I guess because A.J. Hawk missed all this time the Packers defense will suck. Get a freakin' grip. The Packers will have two weeks of two-a-days in July before the FIRST PRE-SEASON GAME. The only benefit to this is for younger players to get acquainted with things, and some out-of-shape vets to work toward getting into football shape. Those who attend will have a leg up in come training camp, but it doesn't mean that all is lost Chicken Little. [/QUOTE]
