Good to see Eifert not on PUP

He does look really good. Honestly, coming from GB, he's the type of TE they like up there to go with Rodgers. Big, fast, he runs cleanly, catches the ball. Paul Dehner, Jr. and I were asked on our Periscope today if he was "injury prone." - I tend to think not, but only because I don't think you can help the freak, nasty injury (i.e. broken elbow). But he does look good. Pads start coming on Sunday - full pads Mon. We'll know more soon!

Could you give us an update on Eifert's blocking once the pads go on? I have no doubt he can be a stud receiving TE, my concern is can he be a complete TE and block as well as he can catch?

I would also be interested to see who you feel is the best blocking TE in our group as the pads come on as again, my concern is our offense needs a stud blocking TE to hold our own against the huge 3-4 OL's in the AFCN.

I appreciate and look forward to your thoughts as you give us a prospective with experience covering the Packers who we know do it right and know how to win big games.
