.com's evaluations for the 16 teams
of the AFC appeared the week of July
4th): The start of NFL training camps
is still over a month away. But here's
what you need to know about the where
and when of the Green Bay Packers
Training Camp.
REPORT DATES:
Rookies July 25th, Veterans July 27th
CAMP
OBJECTIVES: The Packers were 25th
in the league against the pass last season
and gave up 23.8 points per game, problems
that the franchise hopes new defensive coordinator
Jim Bates can fix. He'll have his work cut
out for him, as Green Bay failed to make
a single personnel upgrade at any spot on
the defensive side of the ball. The biggest
concern will be at cornerback, where Al
Harris is solid but far from spectacular
and second-year players Ahmad Carroll and
Joey Thomas have yet to impress. Newbies
Earl Little (Browns) and Arturo Freeman
(Dolphins) will be in line for the starting
strong safety job, and Cardinals castoff
Ray Thompson will likely take over at one
outside linebacker slot. On offense, Brett
Favre must prove he can thrive without longtime
starting guards Marco Rivera (Cowboys) and
Mike Wahle (Panthers), both of whom slipped
away in the offseason. Free agent acquisitions
Adrian Klemm (Patriots) and Matt O'Dwyer
(Buccaneers) are slated to take over at
guard, but neither is considered to be of
first-rate vintage. Head coach Mike Sherman
will take a long training camp look at first-round
draft choice and quarterback Aaron Rodgers
(Cal), who is unlikely to get on the field
this season but is considered the heir apparent
to Favre. Punter B.J. Sander, a major disappointment
in 2004 training camp, will get another
chance to win the job after Bryan Barker
was not tendered a contract for '05.
PRESEASON SCHEDULE:
vs. San Diego (8/11); at Buffalo (8/20);
vs. New England (8/26); at Tennessee (9/1)
