As the season has finally changed over from spring to summer this past weekend, we have a long layoff ahead of us before the start of training camp. The Green Bay Packers are on their own from now until their report date for camp, on July 29th.

However, fans wanting to see the team under the lights at Lambeau Field will have their opportunity to do so starting today. If you want to be in the stadium for the team's Family Night practice in early August, make sure you are on your computer later this morning.

As we at Acme Packing Company ready ourselves to start our countdown of the top plays of the Packers' 2014 season later today, we find today's curds breaking down a few key positions on both side of the ball which do not have starts locked in just yet.

It's a safe bet that the third-round pick will be one of the hardest workers on the team between now and training camp; after all, without the three weeks of OTAs, he has to learn the playbook almost entirely on his own.
