Posted Jul 25, 2008

The Green Bay Packers? running game went from embarrassingly bad to one of the NFL?s best, corresponding with Ryan Grant?s emergence at halfback midway through last season.
Grant averaged a ridiculous 5.1 yards per carry and broke off long runs in practically every game. His decisive one-step-and-explode style is a perfect fit for the zone blocking scheme.

Notes From Monday Morning's First Training Camp Practice:
July 28, 2008, 11:02 am

Daryn Colledge was taking the snaps with the No. 1 unit at left guard. Allen Barbre was with the No. 2 unit.

To give Chad Clifton his customary rest on days with two practices, Tony Moll took several reps as the No. 1 left tackle. In his first two years with the Packers, when Moll played tackle, he was almost exclusively on the right side.
