Are we all crying after reading Jordan Love‘s story in The Players’ Tribune? I know how hard it was to finally open up about his father’s death and all he and his family have had to overcome, plus the lifetime of healing that is still ahead. I respect them all more than ever.

It’s a great piece and thoughtful on so many levels. Love is no stranger to adversity, and it’s shaped the man (and quarterback) he’s become. Be sure to check it out.

Greetings! I would like to suggest that the “WR1” is the receiver to whom the quarterback is throwing the ball – on that play, at that moment. At the end of a season, we can review the number of targets the various receivers had and declare who was “WR1”. Or like baseball: Who had the most close-out plays that won games? It’s kinda like predicting the past. Now, please enjoy some live-action training camp for someone who can’t be there. Thank you!

I’ve always found it quizzical how WR is the only position to which we attach a number. In jest, we use it with QBs, but it’s a tongue-in-cheek label more than a label. Nobody says TE1, LB1, DT1 or P1.

There seems to be a new strain of WR fever. The “we have so much depth, we don’t need a WR1” variant. Look, our WR room has loads of potential, but isn’t having a guy (WR1, elite, superstar, whatever you want to call him) who has to be accounted for and dominates his one-on-ones always a plus? ‘Course, then you have to pay him like an elite WR. So, we have that going for us…

I got some news for you, Josh. They’re all getting paid and deservedly so. If you’re looking for receivers at a discount, you won’t find them in unrestricted free agency. Aaron Jones has the seventh-highest APY of any NFL running back at $10 million per year. There are 34 receivers making at least $10 million this season, including Dyami Brown and Tutu Atwell. We need to spend less time talking about “WR1, 2, 3, etc.” and concentrate more on the fact it’s a minor miracle Green Bay has this much talent to begin with.

We all know Brandon McManus has been “lights out” during camp, but how does Daniel Whelan look? It seems that around the league he doesn’t get the credit he should. What a treat to go into the season feeling this positive about our special teams!

Whelan is dialed in. I tweeted during Family Night how his directional punting looks better. Whelan has prodigious leg talent, but what could make him special is locking in the placement. He’s off to a good start.

Do you think we will add any FAs before the season?

Probably Corey Ballentine.

With 90 players in training camp, and all the comings and goings, who or what department in Packers administration handles all the logistic arrangements such as flights, housing, per diem, etc.? And is that person or those people the unsung heroes of orchestrating all the behind-the-scenes activities that have to happen to keep the players happy and the operation running smoothly?

The Packers have a tremendous staff responsible for handling those kinds of logistics, but I want to use this question to shout out the Packers director of corporate travel Linda Nuthals, who is unbelievable at what she does. Linda only has to arrange my itinerary like once or twice a year but treats everyone like they are the team president. I cannot say enough about her and the work she does to help players, coaches, scouts and anyone associated with the football department get from Point A to Point B.

Spoff, although I respect your opinion, I would tend to disagree with your take on the postgame coaches’ handshake. I like the show of sportsmanship and respect and would like to see that tradition continue. It would have been especially interesting to have seen Jimmy Johnson and Buddy Ryan complete a handshake after that one game when Buddy Ryan took off so Jimmy couldn’t find him. Remember that game? I don’t recall what ticked Jimmy off so bad, but man he was hot.

I get where Spoff is coming from, especially the ceremonial/procedural aspect of a postgame handshake. However, I believe the coaches’ handshake still serves a purpose because it sends the right message to a society that’s grown increasingly hostile towards one another.

Insiders, why does II and other sites track practice stats? Players are experimenting with various throws, routes, kicks, etc., that can result in INT, missed FG, etc., so they’re really not indicators of anything. Is it because of the data-driven age we live in?

We gotta fill “Live Look-In” with something, Tim. I can only post so many pictures of Spoff before getting called to the HR office.
