#25 - I Can’t Help You...

APP podcast #25  - “I Can’t Help You With That...”

First round of OTAs and Mini Camps recap:

Andy went to 2nd OTA practice for just a little bit - not much to report except that Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis look like real tight ends compared to Richard Rogers and the other stiffs they’ve had since Jermichael Finley

The 3 rookie WRs definitely have size - this will be the tallest WR corp that Rodgers has ever had

Let’s be honest - everyone is just running around in shorts playing patty cake...it’s silly and damn near useless in today’s modern NFL

Other odds and ends:

Mike Pettine is a bit more fiery and demonstrative than Dom Capers - that is a welcome change

HHCD was absent from the initial OTAs due to a death in the family from what we know.  On his return he said he was not holding out for any sort of new contract but then he said that with literally a wink and nod. ?

Winston Moss really shouldn’t do press conferences anymore.  Honestly the fact that he has survived as an assistant into a 3rd DC is very odd.
