Do you know in which episode this scene appears? Hint: Spock has just called for an armed team to report to the bridge. The man behind him is the Security Chief, one of the two security guards who show up in answer to Spock’s call. * all screencaps from Memory Alpha except when otherwise noted

If you guess the episode was “The Menagerie, Part I” you were correct. And if you recognized this is the scene where Spock has turned himself over to Dr. McCoy to be arrested for mutiny, you can give yourself two points. Bonus point - what is the name of the Security Chief?

The man on the left is Lt. Pitcairn, the Security Chief of the Enterprise during this episode. You never hear his name during the actual episode but it is listed in the script as part of the list of characters and in various stage directions at several points in the scripts. During this episode and the next, you only hear Kirk, Spock, and others refer to him as Security Chief. The other security guard, by the way, is Vinci who often turns up in other episodes. And yes, Pitcairn is the one who was often confused with the Transporter Chief.

The next time we see Lt. Pitcairn is during the court martial proceedings, standing near the door. Another security guard played by extra Tom Lupo is on the other side of the room.

Part I ends with the two security guards escorting Mr. Spock back to his quarters and Captain Kirk left alone in the hearing room, trying to make sense of what he has just seen and heard. It appears Lt. Pitcairn (played by actor Brett Dunham) originally had a line of dialogue in this scene. According to the final draft, the scene ends with Lt. Pitcairn saying "We've orders to lock you up." Instead, the line was revised with Kirk saying “Lock him up” possibly to give it a more dramatic flair. This will not be the only time Lt. Pitcairn loses a line of dialogue. (source of the dialogue change is from a discussion on Memory Alpha). *screencap thanks to Todd Walkenhorst of Fizbin’s Celebrity Memes.

Part II of “The Menagerie” begins with the continuation of Spock’s court martial hearing. Mendez reads the charges, Spock pleads guilty to all. Transmissions are now coming directly from Talos IV and that is why the hearing was moved to a closed session - only the court martial panel itself and Spock are allowed to remain. After watching more of the transmissions, Kirk and Mendez are surprised when they suddenly stop. Spock explains that the Talosians have noticed Captain Pike is fatigued and suggests they reconvene later. After a pause in the proceedings, the earlier security crewman wheels in Captain Pike and Chief Security Pitcairn escorts Mr. Spock back inside. *Screencap by Todd Walkenhorst.

Then the men depart. Scotty, McCoy, and the recorder are not seen again in the hearing room. From the stance in this screencap, Lt. Pitcairn appears to remain on security duty outside the doors of the hearing room. The panel picks up the story of Captain Pike and Vina on the screen. Five of the crew, including Number One, Colt and Spock, prepare to beam down to the planet for the second time. Only this time only the women are beamed down inside Pike’s cage and the men remain on the pad. Eventually, Pike finds a way of blasting a hole in the wall and all four of them escape to the surface. Suddenly the transmissions stop so Captain Pike can rest.

Now the panel is ready to begin again and we see Lt. Pitcairn as well. Hmmmm.... where did he come from? Wasn’t he last seen at his post outside the door? Despite this still being a closed hearing, it seems he’s back in his old position (by the way, I am nearly positive this is a unused piece of footage from earlier when the hearing first began).

Here is where it gets interesting. Both David Eversole in an article for orionpressfanzines.com and David Tilotta of Lost Trek History reveal that there was another scene between the time security leaves the hearing and the time you see Lt. Pitcairn reappear behind Captain Pike. Indeed, it was even filmed. According to the shooting script, just after the court martial panel has seen Captain Pike and the three women escape from their captors, Lt. Pitcairn appears at the door to announce “ Sir, Engineer and ship's surgeon to see you.” With that, both McCoy and Scotty enter the room and tell Captain Kirk that they were able to isolate the computers that Spock had jammed before and can now return the ship to manual control. However, that scene later gets deleted and Pitcairn loses his second line of dialogue. And we are left with a mystery as to why he shows up next in a scene inside the hearing room where he shouldn’t have been. You are only seeing this image from that deleted footage because of David Tilotta and Curt McAloney’s generosity in allowing me to use the one of several other restored frames they presented in their Lost Trek History article. If you wish to read the articles - and I suggest you do. Dave Eversole - http://www.orionpressfanzines.com/articles/menagerie.htm (and a special thank you for your additional help)

David Tilotta and Curt McAloney -https://www.startrek.com/article/lost-trek-history-the-menagerie. They are also authors of the excellent book, Star Trek Lost Scenes. If you don’t already own a copy, it’s available on Amazon.

Brett Dunham had a very short screen career. In the same year as “The Menagerie” he was in an episode of Gomer Pyle USMC. He appeared on Mission Impossible as a driver in the episode “The Survivors” in 1967 (photo from Avelyman) . And he also had appearances in The Bionic Woman and a made-for-TV movie titled Crisis in Mid-Air in the late 70s. Those seem to be the last screen roles Brett Dunham had.

However, there was an acting coach in Hollywood by the name Brett Dunham. He ran The Screen Actors Workshop and his name shows up in many an actor’s resume under training, including Robert Blake (known for his lead role in the television series Baretta). An article on acting classes in 2002 says that this Brett Dunham had been involved in acting, teaching and directing for more than 25 years and had worked under another acting coach named Charles Conrad for eight years prior to that. His name does show up as an actor in several LA newspapers in the theater section during this time period. He even performed in a Paddy Chayefsky play at the Melrose Theater along with Don Eitner, who was an extra and Shatner’s body double in “The Enemy Within.”

Is this the same Brett Dunham who played Lt. Pitcairn in “The Menagerie”? It seems almost too much of a coincidence that Brett Dunham the actor/the acting coach is in Hollywood around the same time our Brett Dunham was appearing on screen. But so far, we have not located any information that proves this to be true.

As with so many other extras and one-shot appearance actors on Star Trek, we may never know his full story. But the story of his role as Lt. Pitcairn certainly seems to have been well-documented.

Review: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

NOTE: I actually saw this movie in theaters but since it’s DVD release was yesterday I figured I’d post my review of it here. I might ramble on for several paragraphs in these reviews, especially if I feel strongly about something, so I’ll try and make it a point to post a short rating at the top as well as a more in depth one at the end.

NOTE THE SECOND: I don’t usually care about spoilers in these reviews so read at your own risk.

1 out of 5 stars. Only watch on Netflix if you exhaust all your other options.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is written by Colin Trevorrow (previous writer and director of the last entry in the franchise) and Derek Connolly and was directed by J.A. Bayona. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard reprise their roles as Owen Grady and Claire Dearing respectively and are sent back to Isla Nublar by Jon Hammond’s previously never mentioned before former partner billionaire Ben Lockwood played by a James Cromwell who can barely bother to keep his eyes open throughout the movie. I, in fact, share that same sentiment.

Usually in these reviews I try to touch on all the aspects of said medium: visuals, camera work, writing, directing, acting, etc. But this review is going to focus mainly on the writing and acting because both are so atrocious all the other aspects are inconsequential.

I didn’t think the first Jurassic World (JW) was as great as it needed to be for a soft reboot / revival of such a beloved franchise but it did have several memorable moments. The leads were charming enough to make you forget that they lacked meaningful character arcs (Claire does have one but the movie doesn’t care about it that much) and the action in the second half of the film was pretty cool (specifically T-Rex and Raptor and Giant Alligator Thing vs. the Indominus Rex). So for the second go around I was hoping that the filmmakers would take the time to really get it right and do the franchise justice. My hopes were far too high.

The only two performances that were worth anything in Fallen Kingdom (FK) were the two returning leads, Pratt and Howard. Howard is a decent enough actress but I’ve never seen a performance from her that I really love and FK continues that trend. Claire does undergo a change from shrewd, cold businesswoman to animal rights activist and that does give some depth to her character but it happens off screen during the three years between JW and FK. It was a little jarring at first but I swallowed it better when the film took a minute to explain her motivations. Pratt was as Pratt as ever as Owen is exactly the same through this movie as he was when we first met him in JW. I fear there’s a real risk for Pratt here as it seems as though he’s becoming another Will Smith or Tom Cruise. He is varying degrees of his usual charming and charismatic self in whatever project he appears in. Owen is just Pratt but outdoorsy to the extreme. Star-Lord is just Pratt with his ego turned up to eleven. Andy from Parks and Rec is just Pratt as a dumb man-child. And I guess that’s fine. Plenty of stars have made careers doing the same but actors actually stretching themselves and challenging themselves to become someone else will always be more impressive.

One thing that annoys me about modern blockbusters are their tendencies to inject new secondary characters into each following installment while completely ignoring the B cast from the previous entry. In the original Jurassic trilogy it did make some sense to do that as each sequel followed the branching lives of Ian Malcolm and Allen Grant who, we can presume, never encounter one another again after the first film. But here there’s little justification for it. JW’s comic relief characters Lowery and Vivian, played by capable comedy actors Jake Johnson and Lauren Lapkus respectively, are nowhere to be seen in this movie. Instead we have Franklin Webb, a spazzy tech guy played by Justice Smith, and Zia Rodriguez, a ball busting veterinarian played by Daniella Pineda. I don’t have much to say about Pineda, she was decent enough and served her purpose, but Smith … Oh my God. I believe this guy will go down in history as the absolute worst character in any Jurassic movie ever. Yes, he is even worse than every child character in all of the movies combined. He does nothing for the movie other than to scream in a high pitched voice when something scares him. Everything scares him. It’s always played for laughs but the joke falls flat on its face every time. The movie thinks it’s funny for a grown man to shriek in terror and scream out loud the thing that’s scaring him. “Lava!” “T-Rex!” “Social interaction!” All right, I made up that last one but the character is so cliché he might as well have said it. And what’s more there is no reason for this character to be here. The movie wastes a fine opportunity to bring back JW’s Lowery who was also a tech guy. In fact it even makes sense for him to run with Claire in her animal rights activism as he was a huge fanboy for Jurassic Park. He had toy dinosaurs all over his work station, he loves them! And it makes even more sense for him to return to Isla Nublar because he was familiar with the park’s computer systems. Why isn’t he joining Claire? He was courageous and had some genuinely funny interactions with Vivian. He certainly would have been better than Spazzy McScreamy.

Speaking of trends let’s talk about the obligatory child character. Isabella Sermon makes her big screen debut as Maisie Lockwood, Ben Lockwood’s granddaughter. Of all the new additions to the franchise she’s the standout as her performance has a depth and range most child actors would struggle to convey. Now one thing about the Jurassic movies is that their child characters were usually pretty capable in some way or another. Hammond’s granddaughter in JP reboots the computer system. Malcolm’s daughter in Lost World is able to gymnastic a raptor to death (yeah it’s a dumb scene but she saves her dad). The teenager in JP3 survives Isla Sorna alone for eight weeks. And the brothers in JW are able to fix a derelict jeep and rescue themselves. FK started out following this trend of capable children with Maisie … until it abandons the idea so we can have a “monster creeping through a child’s bedroom” scene. This completely undermined her whole character. Up until then the movie had established her as smart and independent and capable as hell. She snuck into the secret lab, spied and hid from the bad guys, busted out of her room which she’d been locked in, and climbed atop buildings all secretly by herself without help from a single grown up. But the minute the new hybrid dinosaur goes after her, which she had seen several times before then, she immediately forgets how capable she is and hides under her bed sheets. This might be the most heinous example of bad writing in this whole movie. Mixed messages? Okay, fine. Forgettable action sequences? Whatever, that’s most of Hollywood anyway. But please, for the love of God, have consistent characters!

Now the villains. Ugh.

BD Wong returns as the dastardly Dr. Henry Wu, the mastermind genius behind the dinosaur cloning process, the I-Rex, and FK’s new hybrid the Indoraptor. It would seem that in the three years since JW InGen and its parent company Masrani Global have cut Wu loose as he’s now partnered with a new financier Eli Mills played by Rafe Spall, the CEO / director / executor of Ben Lockwood’s … estate? Company? Trust fund? I don’t remember the movie specifying what Mills’ job was, only that he was another white collar villain (because we haven’t seen that before in a Jurassic movie). Toby Jones makes an appearance as Mr. Eversol, an auctioneer for the high rolling criminal underworld, and Ted Levine plays Ken Wheatley, the leader of a disposable mercenary force who has an odd fetish for collecting dinosaur teeth. And that is literally all there is to the villains. Each of them is cartoonishly shallow to the point that Wheatley is a parody of an archetype and all Dr. Wu needs is a mustache to twirl. True, the villains have never been that big of a deal in the Jurassic movies as the dinosaurs have always been the main attractions but not even Vincent D’Onofrio’s Hoskins from JW was this bad and in a movie full of weakly written characters he was the weakest link.

And let’s not forget the dinosaurs. They are there. Not as much as you’d like but they’re around. The big draw for Owen this time around is to save Blue, the only surviving raptor from the pack he raised and trained, from Isla Nublar’s impending volcanic eruption. FK plays this up as though Blue was always the equivalent of a loyal attack dog but it conveniently forgets that JW established her as a dog capable and willing to bite the hand that fed her. The scene from the previous movie in which Owen is in the raptor enclosure is a tense moment because he is under threat from all the raptors, Blue included. In fact when the I-Rex persuades them to go after the humans all the raptors focus in on Owen. There was that one moment when Owen pulls off Blue’s head camera at the end of JW but to rewrite the relationship as though she were a loyal golden retriever, I feel like that was not earned in the slightest. And the main attraction this time is the new hybrid, the Indoraptor, essentially a smaller version of the previous movie’s I-Rex. FK presents this abomination of genetic manipulation as an ultimate monster but it really just looks like rejected concept art of the I-Rex. Also the Indoraptor is only in half of the movie. The I-Rex in JW was a better monster because it was terrorizing the island for almost the whole runtime. Plus the I-Rex has some decent build up and a good reveal. Here, it feels like the movie couldn’t be bothered. “By the way, we made another hybrid dino. Here it is.” I did enjoy the return of more practical animatronics over every dino being CGI but if you saw the last film this one doesn’t have anything special for you in that regard.

Let’s talk about Trevorrow’s writing. It’s awful. Like a pile of hot rancid garbage awful. The biggest problem with JW is that it completely ignores the moral of the original. JP was a cautionary tale that proves whenever man tries to exert his will over nature he will lose and just because we can do something it doesn’t mean we should. It’s classic man vs. nature ending with man being humbled. JW said, “Hey look, we’re going to keep doing that ethically questionable thing most people believe we shouldn’t be doing and wield the power of a god with no regards to any possible consequences,” and gets upset when the monster it created wreaks havoc. But does FK finally learn that lesson and try to take the franchise somewhere new that doesn’t lead the characters into being idiots who keep going back to the island? Do Michael Bay’s Transformers movies understand subtlety?

More than ever this movie has dumb characters making dumb decisions that nobody with a brain can follow. The villains want to capture the dinos and auction them off to billionaire criminals because these crime lords want them for pharmaceutical reasons (but why though?), the ability to hunt one like a big game hunter (because we also haven’t seen that before), or for weaponization. Let’s touch on that last point. The villains justify it by saying animals have been used in combat scenarios for centuries when armies rode to battle on horses and elephants. And the movie might have had a point if either one of those transportation methods hadn’t become outdated before the fifties.

Now just for the sake of argument I’ll list off a few more examples for this movie’s case: K-9 units, bomb detecting dolphins, and pidgins have all historically been used by one military or another at various times. But here’s the common thread among all those examples: none of those animals are predisposed to ripping a man’s head off in a single bite. Why do you think it isn’t common practice for a military to use lions and tigers and bears? And let’s take a closer look at the proliferation of working dogs and horses. Could it be that thousands if not millions of years of closely co-existing with humans have made them predisposed towards not killing us on sight? What’s that called? Oh yeah. Domestication!

Whether we’re talking about fiction or not, training an animal that never co-existed with humans so it can become an attack animal is not a good idea any way you slice it. Any semi-intelligent person can recognize that there are way too many variables to take into account. Oh but what about Blue, I hear you asking. Owen proved that raptors can be trained with Blue. That may be true but one successful instance against a multitude of failures does not prove the concept. Sure the Polish Supply Brigade around WWII kept a bear named Wojtek that would carry their supplies for them but you don’t see cargo bears being implemented throughout the world’s militaries these days. Do you know why? Because they’re freaking bears! They could go in for a playful swipe and nick your carotid by accident you MORONS!

And that leads me to this movie’s message. Apparently FK believes these animals have as much right to life as any other endangered species. That’s the whole reason Claire wants to go back so she can save them. But the film is bookended with Jeff Goldblum reprising his role as Ian Malcolm speaking before a congressional committee on how much that is a bad idea. He argues that nature selected the dinos for extinction millions of years ago and bringing them back was a mistake. The volcano erupting and eradicating the clone dinos on Isla Nublar, he says, is nature’s way of correcting that mistake. So the film opens and closes arguing why protecting these creatures from a second extinction is the worst. And yet we spend most of the runtime doing exactly that.

Seriously?

Malcolm has always been the ultimate voice of reason in these movies and we as an audience are inclined to agree with him given the proof each movie provides for his argument. There are four previous films illustrating why bringing the Earth’s most dangerous predators back to life is a horrible idea. And now that nature wants to correct the mistake you’re going to defy that decision?

The film uses Maisie here to make this case. The dinos are technically clones and we learn that Maisie is a clone as well so now we’re using clone rights to justify saving the dinosaurs. It is a weak argument thrown in at the last moment. Arguing for conservation is good and all but how well are you going to side with that argument when the T-Rex is meandering through a neighborhood gobbling up pedestrians left and right? These animals have lived on an island their entire lives. Aside from T-Rex who visited San Diego in the 90s they have never seen a town. The only human made structures they are familiar with were the derelict park buildings that the movie shows them waltzing through all the time. Even our own real world wild animals don’t understand that they should stay away from human settlements, how well do you think Blue is going to do the first time she’s caught in the headlights? But apparently they have a right to live because they are just as alive as Maisie the clone is so let’s end the movie by releasing all these dangerous animals, most of which are as large as a rhino or elephant, into the American countryside.

Sure, forget about public safety. Forget that dinosaurs had their chance but nature selected them for extinction over sixty million years ago. Forget about all the indigenous plant and wildlife that is now under threat because you just loosed at least eleven different dinos onto the world. Forget about how their nesting habits might destroy the landscape like nutria in Louisiana. What was your motivation again? Conservation? Give me a break.

Honestly this movie makes me glad Trevorrow was fired from Star Wars Episode Nine. This proves that he has no clue what decent writing looks like and has no regard for what the original was trying to say. Just because he was given the opportunity to make these films doesn’t mean he should have.

1 star out of 5

A forgettable and messy film that slowly meanders through the second and third act with no sense of purpose other than to say, “Ooooh look. It’s a dinosaur!” And it doesn’t even say that well.

Smaller ski areas retain workers with the heal of federal coronavirus stimulus money

#million🛡 🌁 🚡

Colorado News

At least 10 of Colorado’s smallest ski areas together received at least $5 million — and as much as $12.7 million — in federal loans from the Paycheck Protection Program.

COVID-19 IN COLORADO

The latest from the coronavirus outbreak in Colorado:

MAP: Known cases in Colorado.

TESTING: Here’s where to find a community testing site. The state is now encouraging anyone with symptoms to get tested.

STORY: “We need to be more responsible”: Colorado governor says incidence of coronavirus is growing

>> FULL COVERAGE

While the big-league operators like Alterra Mountain Co., Vail Resorts and Aspen Skiing were too large to qualify for the federal stimulus loans, the so called “gems” — or independent, smaller resorts — were able to collect millions and protect more than 900 jobs.

“We were able to keep all our full-time employees and a few of our seasonal employees,” said Tom Hays, the general manager of Glenwood Springs’ Ski Sunlight, which received between $150,000 and $350,000 in a potentially forgivable PPP loan to protect 44 jobs. “I would much rather that, than see them go on unemployment and maybe find another position. We thought it was really important to keep our employees on the payroll. It costs so much to retrain some of these folks that it’s best to just keep them onboard.”

Sunlight joined Granby Ranch, Loveland, Monarch, Powderhorn, Purgatory, Ski Echo and Wolf Creek in qualifying for PPP loans. Silverton Mountain and Hesperus received less than $150,000 and was among the more than 90,000 small Colorado businesses not named in the federal Small Business Administration database. The money saw the ski areas paying workers for work on projects, renovations and protective measures in preparation for the coming season.

Monarch received $800,000, and the Chaffee County ski hill was able to retain 50 of its summer employees. Beyond payroll, general manager Randy Stroud said the ski area worked on “adjusting our environment up here to the new protocols both inside and outside.”

This included new configurations of counters for drinks, food and ticket sales. Plexiglass barriers for employees. New signs helping visitors stay distanced. Hand-sanitizing stations. The ski area remodeled its base lodge bar and eatery to keep visitors separated.

“Anything, in essence, that will get help get us closer to a touch-free environment,” Stroud said.

Powderhorn ski area on the Grand Mesa received $400,000, which allowed the ski area to keep 16 year-round staff on the payroll, including staff working on the resort’s summer bike park.

“The vast majority goes to paying wages and benefits,” said Powderhorn owner Andy Daly, “while a small amount will be spent on related operating expenses.”

Wolf Creek ski area qualified for a $1 million and $2 million loan, according to a federal database of PPP recipients. Durango’s Purgatory qualified for a $350,000 to $1 million loan, which becomes a grant when businesses meet certain thresholds for employment.

Purgatory was able to keep all its year-round employees on the payroll with the PPP support. The resort, part of investor James Coleman’s Mountain Capital Partners network of eight resorts in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona, also was able to install new fiber optic cable, build a new mountain bike park and upgrade its ski and mountain bike rental fleets. (Mountain Capital Partners’ resort management and hotel operation, Purgatory Recreation I, LLC., qualified for a loan from $2 million to $5 million.)

“Without the PPP loan, all of these efforts to improve Purgatory Resorts and its overall guest experience could have been in jeopardy,” resort spokeswoman Tiona Eversole wrote in an email.

The economic impact of the early closure of ski areas in mid-March was painful. Arapahoe Basin’s parent, Canada’s Dream Unlimited Corp., reported an CA $8 million year-over-year loss for the first quarter of 2020, citing the shuttering of its only ski area. Vail Resorts reported a $140 million loss from the early closure of its 35 North American resorts. Collectively, the U.S. resort industry estimates the country’s 460 ski areas lost at least $2 billion and maybe as much as $5 billion when resorts closed in March just as spring break crowds descended.

Read more outdoors stories from The Colorado Sun.

The initial impact of the pandemic could pale in comparison to the extended costs as resorts struggle to retain workers in pandemic-pinched rural economies and the 2020-21 ski season remains unclear. Colorado’s resort industry was struggling with hiring challenges long before COVID-19, as record unemployment and a critical shortage of affordable housing choked the flow of seasonal workers needed to run ski areas. An additional shutdown of visas for temporary workers by the Trump Administration promises to further strain resort hiring for the upcoming ski season.

Melanie Mills, the head of the Colorado Ski Country trade group, worked with federal policymakers to make the PPP program more friendly to seasonal businesses. Those adjustments helped winter businesses that might not be fully stocked with employees in the summer months meet federal employment benchmarks later in the year, allowing their PPP money to transition from loan to grant.

Mills said the PPP support “is really critical after shutting off revenue so abruptly in mid-March.”

“So many key year-round employees would have been furloughed or laid off and the negative impact on planning for what’s ahead and on all of our lift maintenance would have been significant,” Mills said. “Our employees are the linchpin to our being able to reopen and recover and the PPP gave these smaller ski areas a real lifeline that kept folks on the payroll.”

Packers Training Camp Day 6 Notes

Packers Notes

Flags nearly every play. Sloppy as hell. Again.

— Aaron Nagler (@AaronNagler) July 31, 2019

Busted play, Rodgers ticked and tosses the ball in what I can only assume is disgust.

— Bill Huber (@PackerReport) July 31, 2019

Practice No. 6 in the books after 2 hours, 20 minutes. pic.twitter.com/Ab8kipVYiL

— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) July 31, 2019

Hear from Head Coach Matt LaFleur following Wednesday's #PackersCamp practice 🎥 https://t.co/0EpoWvsBJ3

— Green Bay Packers (@packers) July 31, 2019

Zero tolerance on fighting, LaFleur says. Told Jones to get off the field after scuffle with Carson.

— Bill Huber (@PackerReport) July 31, 2019

Injuries

Aaron Jones is not going today. It's hamstring tightness but not expected to be anything long term — not even to the level of fellow RB Jamaal Williams, who has been out multiple days with a hamstring injury. https://t.co/ofIB47BdOr pic.twitter.com/lyfuzrtmTn

— Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) July 31, 2019

Nine #Packers out: Mason Crosby (calf) Jamaal Williams (hamstring) Aaron Jones (hamstring tightness) Josh Jackson (foot) Javien Hamilton (hamstring) Kendall Donnerson (hamstring) Greg Roberts (PUP) Jason Spriggs (trapezius) Fadol Brown (calf) Darnell Savage Jr (teeth) returned.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 31, 2019

Aaron Rodgers

Rodgers dropped two nice over the shoulder passes to Davante and then Allison during one on one red zone. Nice touch

— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) July 31, 2019

Rodgers and Allison just had what looks like an amazing side end zone toe drag connection for a TD, but the practice ref called it out of bounds, Rodgers begged to differ. Great hands and attempt regardless

— Dave Schroeder (@SchroederWBAY) July 31, 2019

Busted play, Rodgers ticked and tosses the ball in what I can only assume is disgust.

Nice job by D Williams working back across formation to pick up a blitz. Goes for naught as Rodgers throws behind Adams on a deep In.

— Aaron Nagler (@AaronNagler) July 31, 2019

Rodgers hits MVS deep for a TD in 2 min drill. Alexander had good coverage, just a great adjustment by MVS. Been waiting on one of those. Offense goes nuts…

— Aaron Nagler (@AaronNagler) July 31, 2019

Aaron Rodgers was 6-for-8 for 70 yards on the drive. Davante Adams caught two passes, both for first down, including a 6 yarder on 3rd & 3 one play before the touchdown. Good showing for a #Packers offense that had been behind the defense most of camp.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 31, 2019

DeShone Kizer

Elgton Jenkins again at center with No 2s. Kizer hits Moore on cross

— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) July 31, 2019

DeShone Kizer with two brutal deep balls to end his two-minute drill. One caught by Packers staffer 5 yards beyond right sideline and the other landed nowhere near a receiver. Kizer tapped his chest and took fault.

— Matt Schneidman (@mattschneidman) July 31, 2019

Tim Boyle

And that’s it for Practice 6. 2 hours, 19 minutes. Practice ends with Boyle 2-minute ending in 48-yard FG by Ficken.

— Bill Huber (@PackerReport) July 31, 2019

Advantage Davante Adams against Jaire Alexander in 1-on-1 red zone drill. Pass from Rodgers pic.twitter.com/M4jP6pEyFl

Good 1-on-1 period in the RedZone with the #Packers WRs vs. DBs. — Darius Shepherd almost impossible to cover. (Slippery in small spaces. Beat Alexander once.) — G-Mo diving catch on Fade vs. Jamerson. — Rodgers quick slant to Kumerow vs. Hollman. — Davante is just automatic.

Geronimo

— Marques Eversoll (@MarquesEversoll) July 31, 2019

— Dave Schroeder (@SchroederWBAY) July 31, 2019

Fantastic jump ball catch from Geronimo on a rainbow from Rodgers. Packers working on dealing with pressure from empty looks

— Aaron Nagler (@AaronNagler) July 31, 2019

Nice job staying alive for his QB by EQ. Rodgers finds him after everything was covered initially.

Aaron Rodgers pulled Dexter Williams aside after that team period and LaFleur joined in as well. A lot being thrown at the rookie RB today in his increased workload with Aaron Jones and Jamal Williams out for #Packers

Darrin Hall

Danny Vitale

The fullback is a legit weapon in this offense.

First play in the last competitive period is…a fullback screen to Vitale. Kid is everywhere.
