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 cup of coffee (or brew some tea, if that’s your thing) and get caught up on everything you need to know about the Packers.

We’ll start with the latest installment of our positional preview series, which rolls on with Ryan Wood’s look at running backs and fullbacks.

From Ryan:

In McCarthy’s system, the Packers don’t need a running back to carry the football on 33 percent of their snaps, as Ezekiel Elliott did for the Cowboys last season. The offense runs through Aaron Rodgers. Yet if Lacy proved anything since 2013 when the Packers drafted him in the second round, it’s that a reliable run game only enhances their MVP quarterback.

In training camp, the competition to fill that void will kick into high gear.

The Packers officially opened their new tailgate spot on Thursday morning. Our Rich Ryman was, naturally, on hand:
