Murphy will discuss rules changes at NFL Annual Meeting Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel-USA TAs 31 NFL owners gather in Arizona this week, Green Bay Packers
president Mark Murphy heads there as well as the team’s primary representative
for the NFL’s Annual Meeting. This year’s meeting is sure to generate some
headlines for the league as a whole — between rules changes, Robert Kraft’s
ongoing legal saga, and preparations for the NFL Draft, it should be a
fascinating few days.For the Packers, particularly the team’s personnel
department, the focus has shifted from the chaos of free agency to the
excitement of the 2019 NFL Draft. Pro Days continue and player visits will begin
soon, as the team weighs its options with two first-round selections. Given some
of the rumblings about quarterbacks, general manager Brian Gutekunst should be
feeling good about getting an impact player with the 12th pick (and possibly the
30th as well), and there are any number of different directions he can go.Still,
for the next few days we’ll be keeping a close eye out to see if the NFL makes
any adjustments to instant replay or overtime — after all, rules changes are
usually the biggest item to come out of these meetings. And with Murphy being
one of the members of the Competition Committee, which largely dictates the
direction the league goes on these changes, any comments from him should shed
some light on the likelihood of approving any of the tweaks.Inbox: There’s

Cheap Elgton Jenkins Jersey , Wis. — The Green Bay Packers‘ Davante Adams can trace his ascent to becoming one of the most productive receivers in the NFL to
a cold night in late November four years ago.That game against the New England
Patriots is proof of how much a rookie must be prepared at any time to step up,
even against the toughest of opponents.More Packers coveragePhotos of the Week:

Bay Packers training campPackers’ Rodgers, LaFleur ironing out offense, building
chemistry“Well I mean, I let everybody know as far as my approach to the game
ever since I got here was just to be ready at all times,” Adams said this
week.It’s a lesson that the Packers’ current crop of rookie receivers can draw
from when Green Bay faces New England again on Sunday night at Foxboro.In 2014,
Adams took advantage of more looks when the Patriots decided to focus on
then-top Packers wideout Jordy Nelson. Adams had six catches for 121 yards on 11
targets, getting as many receptions and targets as he had drawn the three
previous games combined.“Yeah, that was probably my coming out game,” Adams
said.Now Adams is quarterback Aaron Rodgers‘ top option, the receiver that
usually draws an opponent’s best cornerback. Adams has had at least 132 yards
receiving in each of his last three games.“Well, he’s big for us. I think he can
do it all from the wide receiver position and we’re expecting a lot of attention
by the Patriots secondary” on Adams, coach Mike McCarthy said.If that’s the
case, it could mean more looks for rookie wideouts Marquez Valdes-Scantling or
Equanimeous St. Brown.The 6-foot-4 Valdes-Scantling has especially taken
advantage of more work in recent games with injuries to starters Randall Cobb
and Geronimo Allison. They returned last week, but Valdes-Scantling still caught
a touchdown pass last week, his second in three games.Adams has offered
simple
Elgton Jenkins Jersey Womens , but important advice to the rookies, just like how Nelson did to Adams four years ago.“Don’t try to be (Adams.) Don’t try to be
Cobb, don’t try to be (Allison). Don’t try to be anybody else that you see,”
Valdes-Scantling said in recounting a piece of advice from
Adams.Valdes-Scantling could draw another start against the Patriots with
Allison listed as doubtful for Sunday after injuring his groin in practice this
week to go with an already sore hamstring. Cobb is questionable again with a
hamstring injury but seems to be improving.“Be yourself. Everybody does things
well, but what you do well, just keep doing it,” Valdes-Scantling added about
Adams’ advice.Adams has become an all-around receiver. Explosiveness and an
ability to make moves allow him to gain extra yards after a catch.But while the
26-21 win over the Patriots in 2014 might have been his springboard, it took a
while for Adams to gain the kind of consistency that now makes him an important
part of the offense.For example, following the Patriots game, Adams managed just
four catches for 29 yards over his last four regular-season games combined in
2014. Then he had seven catches for 117 yards and a score in a 26-21 win in the
playoffs over the Dallas Cowboys.Adams has 28 touchdown catches since the 2016
season. Opposing secondaries have caught on to Adams’ rise, yet he’s still
coming up clutch for Rodgers.“He’s going to look to guys who maybe he hasn’t
looked to as much coming up,” Adams said. “If that’s how they decide to go about
the game, remove (me) from the game, I’m still going to do my best to contribute
as much as I can to this offense. I know the rest of the guys will be ready as
well.”Linebacker Nick Perry (ankle) and safety Jermaine Whitehead (back) are the
only other players on the injury report, listed as questionable for
Sunday.
