Packers training camp wasn’t the same without them

Good morning, Wes. Now that the first week of training camp is over, what has impressed you the most?

Romeo Doubs. He’s stacking days and making plays. I also love his temperament. You can tell he is a cool customer who is confident in his abilities. That’s what you need to succeed at this level. He’s picked up right where he left off in OTAs.

Being in Reno, home of the University of Nevada Wolfpack, it is no surprise to me how well Romeo Doubs has started training camp. When at their games he caught everything thrown his way and celebrated like it was no big deal. Never about him, always about team. When Doubs got drafted, my brother and I were ecstatic and said he would surprise everyone at the next level. The way he works and plays he will be successful! Just stay healthy, Romeo!

That’s exactly what Spoff wrote on Friday. It’s not that the kid is just making plays – it’s the professionalism he shows after making the play. Matt LaFleur’s comments before practice were telling, saying Doubs is one of the first guys in the building every day and how he’s already developed his routine.

II, it’s been interesting to see the rotating combinations on the OL. It speaks to the versatility of many of those guys; something we all know the Packers covet and which has paid dividends in the past. I’m curious if you think there is a particular point in the preseason programming by which specific positions will be assigned to these guys, or do you think they will go through the preseason games in positional rotation, meaning we may not know who will play where until Week 1 rolls around?

I think usually going into that first preseason game you’ll see the line start to settle in. It was around that time Royce Newman emerged as the starting right guard last year. With David Bakhtiari‘s status still up in the air, it might take a little longer to figure out what the starting five looks like, but the Packers will take all the data…
