On Jon Hoese, Sam Hurd, And Suh's Shoelaces

DETROIT, MI - NOVEMBER 24:  Quarterback Aaron Rodgers #12 of the Green Bay Packers reacts in the third quarter as  Ndamukong Suh #90 of the Detroit Lions walks by during the Thanksgiving Day game at Ford Field on November 24, 2011 in Detroit, Michigan.  (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)

Packers sign Hoese to practice squad, release G Vermiglio. They had brought in former Packer RB Tyrell Sutton for a workout this week along with three other running backs. With injuries to Brandon Saine (concussion) and James Starks (knee), it seemed like they needed another back on the roster for the scout team and depth. Instead of Sutton, they brought back another former training camp invitee: FB Jon Hoese. He was John Kuhn like this preseason, and he'll give them a healthy body for the backfield until Saine and Starks are healthy.

Sam Hurd Arrested On Federal Drug Charges - SBNation.com. What an idiot. I'm sure the Bears did not need the distraction. But maybe, there's at least a chance, they'll have Jay Cutler back in time for their upcoming loss to the Packers.

Ndamukong Suh Goes Crazy When You Untie His Shoes - From Our Editors - SBNation.com. I don't expect the Packers will be the last team that tries to encourage him into committing a personal foul. This is just part of the game: make your opponent do something stupid (and draw a flag) with an extra shove or some trash talk.

Update: Dietrich-Smith and Campen deny it. "Complete lie" says Dietrich-Smith. We need to know the truth! Should the NFL investigate? The shreds of Suh's reputation are at stake!

I'm sure the bears will be distracted by the absence of a guy

who makes like 0.6 catches per game. I had to look up what team he played for when I heard about the arrest, I had no idea.

We have more Gophers than Badgers on this team.

Something is horribly wrong with this picture.

doesn't mean anything

There are lots of Badgers in high demand in this league. The fact that some Gophers have pro potential, despite their aweful record over several years just shows how bad the Minnesota coaches have been.

Draft the player, not the school/conference

Part of the reason we have Rodgers is because many teams didn’t trust so-called “Tedford QBs” because of previous busts. Thankfully, TT didn’t see it that way.

Yeah. Mr. Thompson had this novel idea

of taking a Tedford QB with real talent,
and un-Tedfording him, as it were.

With the hiring of McCarthy a year after Rodgers was drafted, we were able to get Aaron retrained right back out of throwing the ball the Tedford way, if I’m not mistaken.

I actually read...

That the Packers didn’t do anything to change him from Tedford. They watched his games at Butte and saw how he threw there and Tedford only had him for a year or so… So mostly they just let his natural throwing motion re-emerge. Thats not to say that they didn’t work on mechanics w/ him, but alot of it was just letting his natural throwing motion come back w/o any real focus on it.

they got him to bring his hands down from up by his ear when holding the ball in the pocket

that’s the only difference really

by sheehan on Dec 16, 2011 10:12 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah

Thats how he threw at Butte. Thats a big Tedford thing… Holding the ball really high by the ear instead of at the shoulder. The Packers from what I read never said a word to him about it after drafting him, just let him throw how it felf natural and w/o Tedford in his ear to keep the ball high, it came down to what is natural.

Why would a guy making NFL wages risk everything by selling drugs? It sounds really stupid. I can understand drug use, because of all the issues with dependence and addiction and so forth, though, of course, it is still pretty dumb. But selling it?

Agreed..

Just hard to understand..

I would hope something like this would never happen in a smaller community like Green Bay, but I guess it could happen anywhere..

They are famous for reporting broad speculation as imminent fact

At least they don’t discriminate – they spread crap about all Chicago teams equally. But I trust their reporting about as much as I’d trust a tweet from @HustlaDaRabbit

the shoetying sounds to be taken out of context according to Campen

and either way, Suh has serious issues if he gets that mad over something so childish and harmless

by maxximus02 on Dec 15, 2011 2:19 PM CST reply actions  

The funny thing is

Over on Pride of Detroit, it seems like half the people there think the “untying shoelaces” story actually makes Suh look BETTER, instead of looking like a petulant toddler.

Update on Sam Hurd
According to the same radio station, law enforcement officials have a list of NFL players that received their drugs from Hurd and that list is in the double digits. If those names get out (and if those guys are guilty) this could turn into a major NFL story implicating a lot of players.

Yowza.

Please let there be no Packers on that list, Please let there be no Packers on that list, Please let there be no Packers on that list…..

I really don’t mind people knot untying them,

Go figure....

seems to be the case anywhere. Just a memory of earlier times, really.

The last place I went where there was that ever-present lingering of cigarette smoke and perfume/cologne was in Vegas. And I loved it. I just stood in the hallway and took it in. I’ve never been a big smoker but always loved the scent of smoke if it wasn’t overpowering. Just remings me of small town bars and an era when people weren’t so picky.

This is outstanding!

Now they have it set up for the next game where our Olinemen just need to mutter something (“Check you shoelaces!”, “Did you double knot them?”, “Have you tried velcro?”) after every play. And we all get to sit back and watch him struggle to not lose his shit again. I can’t wait.
