There wasn't a lot of big news out of the Green Bay Packers rookie orientation camp and that's probably a good thing because only an injury would have made headlines. Instead the biggest story was that LT Bryan Bulaga got benched after a couple of false start penalties. And in no way does that translate into something to be worried about going forward ...  - I had no idea how many players they had in rookie camp. Here's the complete list.

It didnt take long for Bryan Bulaga to feel the sting of getting the hook for a mistake.The standard procedure in practice under Mike McCarthy in his four-plus seasons as coach is to replace an offensive lineman if he commits a false-start penalty.And in the first set of team drills at Bulagas first practice of rookie-orientation camp Friday, the Packers first-round draft pick committed two false-start penalties within a handful of plays and was replaced immediately after both. They were the

I wish I could say something interesting about the Green Bay Packers rookie minicamp, but the reality is that the team does this so that the rookies aren't overwhelmed by the first minicamp later in May.  ... Greg Bedard had the best description of the rookie minicamp: ... Don't expect any sweeping judgements or hard-hitting analysis. For one, the players will not be wearing pads. And most of them just got off the bus and probably had a hard time finding the Hutson Center let alone where to
