Did we win?
I didn't like those double clutches though, catch it cleanly to start Abby!
Davis did finish on a high note, I like him but he probably needs a year or two to be a consistent contributor.
We were up by 10 and McCarthy went into his conservative shell and we ended up losing on a 2 point conversion. So yeah, we won.

A string of videos from the Packers' site shows the fun of Family Night.

Hundley was all over, hopefully all the people that were talking trading for 1st round draft picks saw that and can calm down and let the kid develop.
Adams, while he started nicely, finished rather poorly. He had one nice catch to start, then had one that was a nice play, but nothing special really about the catch. Then he had some tougher plays to make and missed pretty much all of them. If he was a Janis or Davis, a guy competing for one of the last roster spots i probably wouldn't even make mention. But I think he can be better, or at least I expect him to be, and those are plays he needs to make, not just try hard at.
It was really hard to take anything defensively away, can't hit or tackle, but I did notice a play early on, pass out near the left flat and Martinez was all over that to blow it up.
a couple of young receivers looked nice. That Geronimo kid wants to catch that ball, and I don't know if it was him or another guy that made a nice fighting catch along the sideline. I was excited to see Backmen, but he had 2 go off his hands early, then followed up with a short catch in traffic near the end.
I didn't really watch the lines that much, too hard for me to take anything away. I suppose if I knew blocking schemes and pass protections and how they want the dline to set up moves and use their hands, i could, but I mostly just want to see who's winning the battles. When you can't really hit or tackle i don't think either line is playing too hard in these things.
You can see that Abbrederis is in that playbook. You can also see he's always learning. I don't like the couple double clutches he had. Catches yes, but if someone is there, maybe they aren't. Maybe they become int's. Would like to see cleaner catches.
at this point in the year, Rodgers looked good, Cobb looked good. Lacy looked quicker, but I don't know that he looks any smaller
He's a big guy. He'll always be big. If he's in shape, he'll be quick. When he's not, he'll be sluggish, but I think he'll always look relatively the same. RRodgers made a couple catches. I think he'll be a fine TE. Like always, big body, great hands. He'll get us TD's and keep drives going for us this year.
Crocket looks like the's an atom about ready to be split. I think he misses a lot because of it. Everything is so jerky and rushed. I like the effort, but i can't say i'm impressed with the results.

I wasn't able to watch yesterday's family night practice but after reading several of your posts I'm surprised that McCarthy said afterwards that Adams is off to a good start.

Adams did drop one in the endzone, but also had a couple of nice catches. Mixed, IMHO.
I would suggest not putting too much stock in other fan's impressions, judge for yourself. The coaches see a lot more than the casual observer.
It was a microcosm of last year, he had a couple nice grabs as well as a couple plays where he just failed to execute on catchable balls. MM is probably trying to build him up and take some pressure off. The kid seems to have the yips.
Janis had one solid catch, one drop and one end around. What impressed you about him? Hundley didn't look the way I expected him to look. Then again it might have been tough with the way they were rotating players.
I really liked what I saw from Geronimo Allison, that kid looks big strong and he moves well. He reminds me of James Jones a little albeit taller and thinner.
McGinn and Cohen were both down on Datone Jones but he looked impressive at Family Night, looked good coming around the corner. Which reminds me not to put too much stock in McGinn's analysis. Great sports writer but too much of a fan with guys that he likes and doesn't like.

Normally I judge for myself but as I've mentioned before I wasn't able to watch yesterday's practice.

Certain fans have written Adams off so he will need to have a huge year to win back their trust. When people are saying Janis had a good night last night you know opinions are slantes. One catch, one drop and obviouy behind Abby on the on the outside.
That was the biggest development to me. Abby played a lot on the outside
Abby looked good, but he needs to catch it cleaner.

I agree. My main point with Abby is that he clearly is starting outside when Nelson is out

According to most reports both Adams and Janis have struggled during the first week of training camp resulting in the battle for the starting spot opposite Nelson most likely being wide open at this point.

Adams wasn't consistant with his catches so McCarthy must see something that we don't. Just have to go with the coach on this one. Davis looked good, Abby looked really good, Cobb had good hands. The first team offense was doing well to move the ball and the 2nd string defense wasn't shutting the offense down, coverage was really good. OL was providing good protection for Rodgers, now the WRs just have to do their part and get seperation from CBs. Hundley was being praised a lot and last night wasn't showing out, holding the ball too long and making some questionable reads. All a part of practice but overall everyone looked good and ready for season. Pre-season games will tell us lots more than Family night will.
