Rookie quarterback Bart Starr had his first day of practice with the Green Bay Packers at their practice field at Green Bay East High School on July 16 1956. They were short of centers that day, so Bernard “Boob” Darling, who played center for the team from 1927 to 1931, volunteered to snap the ball to Starr. The 17th-round draft pick from Alabama was one of three rookie quarterbacks at practice that day.

Starr, who had been relieved of his general manager's duties earlier in the day, met with TV and radio reporters in the locker room, then separately with newspaper reporters in his office so he could exclude Begel.

    Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com. Grab a strong cup of coffee and get caught up on everything you need to know about the Packers.

    We’ll start with Michael Cohen’s look at the new kickoff rules and what they might mean for the league’s “most dangerous play” going forward.

    From Michael:

    The new set of rules, instituted this fall, will be reevaluated next spring to determine if the primary goal of reducing the number of injuries — especially concussions — was, in fact, accomplished.

    “I think it’s going to be interesting,” Packers special teams coordinator Ron Zook said during organized team activities. “I think there’s a lot of people wondering about how it’s going to be. Thankfully, we have at least what we think it’s going to be now, the rules and so forth, (so) we’re able to work on it. You’re probably going to see, in my opinion — it’s just my opinion — but more returns.”

    Zook believes the elimination of the running start for the coverage team will benefit the return team, which may or may not solve the league’s injury problem. If members of the coverage team need a split second of additional time to get downfield, Zook envisions returners being even more likely to bring the ball out in hopes of igniting their offense with better field position after a big return.

    Will the changes to alignment and blocking requirements be affective enough to mitigate injury risk if the number of returns increases? Or is a potential uptick in the number of returns — which may yield more injuries — an unfortunate byproduct of a well-intentioned rule?
