Offense:
- Two sides of the field going at once. One Packers O vs Jets D, the other Jets O vs Packers D.
- Royce Newman and JRJ the starting guards.
- Green Bay starts with two runs that go nowhere.
- RB Kylin Hill gets the start with the No. 1 offense, which gives you an idea what they think of him. Aaron Jones only taking part in individuals.
- Four plays for the Packers offense and not sure they gained any yards. 3 stuffed runs and a quick pass to Deguara off PA they went nowhere.
- Next play Rodgers fires well low to Tonyan on a rollout.
- Finally a nice run by Dexter Williams with the backups in.
- Benkert fires to Funchess deep who was open by a couple steps. Benkert a bit long but it looked like Funchess struggled to track it a bit. Falls incomplete.
- Minor scuffle between Packers OL and Jets D after a nice Hill run. Nothing to make a big deal about though.
- Rodgers with a play action quick strike to MVS over the middle. Nice play.
- Kylin Hill with a wow run. Pitch to the right and does the rest himself for about 10 yards. Just cuts on an absolute dime. He’s so damn fun.
- Dexter Williams with nice run now. Packers blocking up front improving as practice goes on.
- Jet sweet to Amari for a nice gain. Great blocking by Begelton & Sternberger outside to spring the run.
- MVS with a big catch on a deep ball from Rodgers. Great contested catch in double coverage by Jets CB Bless Austin and S Sharrod Neasman for about 30 yards.
- Quick pass from Rodgers to Adams. Easy $$$.
- Rodgers is dealing now. EQ on a quick slant for a nice gain.
- Aaron Jones is running off to the side during team but Dillon has yet to take a team snap either. All Hill, Dexter & Taylor so far.
- Rodgers killing Jets D on slants to MVS, Adams and Lewis.
- Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams picking the Jets apart with underneath slant routes. Rinse and repeat.
- Rodgers to Adams. Easy $$$ on a slant again.
- Benkert checkdown to P. Taylor.
- Dennis Kelly false start. He hasn’t been super impressive since coming to GB.
- Benkert throws short to EQ on a 9. Should have prob been picked.
- Benkert incomplete to… nobody.
- Rodgers and Adams not on the same page on a back shoulder.
- Hill tries to juke out Marcus Maye but no dice. Nice play by Maye.
- Rodgers incomplete to Funchess. Was low but catchable.
- Rodgers was on fire early but missed a couple recently. Fires far wide of Adams. Could have been a miscommunication between the two.
- Now Rodgers misses Adams over the middle again. Adams and 12 not on the same page today at all. Adams wide open both times.
- Benkert quick throw to Dexter.
- Benkert fires to Amari over the middle. Contested and needed to lay out but incomplete. Also looks like there may have been contact.
- Benkert fires low on a checkdown to P. Taylor. Offense scuffling a bit at the moment.
- That ends the first team period.
- Aaron completes it to Kylin Hill in the flat for a solid pick up. Hill shows off natural hands. He’s been great with the ones today. Rodgers has no hesitation looking his way.
- Aaron completes a well designed screen pass to Josiah Deguara. Wasn’t perfectly executed but the blocks were good and Deguara picked up nice yardage. Weren't many Jet defenders around him on the catch.
- Aaron hold it before firing it to Lazard but it falls incomplete. Michael Carter II near by.
- Dexter Williams up the middle but the Jets front holds it to a short gain.
- The Packers seem to be giving rookie fourth-rounder Royce Newman every chance to win the RG job over Lucas Patrick.
- Smart blows up a handoff to Dexter Williams.
- Kurt Benkert completes a pass over the middle to Amari Rodgers with Guidry in coverage for a first down. Throw was slightly behind Amari.

- Rodgers to Adams with Bryce Hall in coverage. But it was only for a short gain
- Nice PBU by Bless Austin on MVS in back left corner of end zone after getting beat by Rodgers-MVS deep earlier.
- Rodgers pressured on a rollout. Hits Deguara a tad wide but dropped.
- Packers running lots of screens today and they are working. This one to P. Taylor.
- Red-zone period ends with Benkert rolling right and firing a laser to Amari Rodgers in the front right corner of the end zone for a TD.
- Rodgers throws deep to MVS. Slightly out of reach but holding or PI called on the Jets. Yes refs are here.
- Great screen to Deguara but Jarrad Davis lays him out. The type of hit that shouldn’t happen in practice. Davante Adams followed Davis back to the Jets defensive huddle, letting him know the whole way.
- Lazard just juked Austin out of his jock.
- While run blocking has been an issue. The Packers pass pro has been really good but not on that play. Pocket completely breaks down around Rodgers.
- Now a potential would be sack of 12 but Rodgers thought he escaped it. Didn’t like the whistle.
- Rodgers to Tonyan on a checkdown. Well short. Pocket caved in on Rodgers and good coverage downfield.
- End around to Funchess. Solid pickup.
- Little smoke screen to EQ blown up because Begelton couldn’t maintain his block on the corner.
- Devin Funchess just pulled up lame on the sideline after a catch. He grabbed at his left hamstring. Walking it off on Packers sideline with training staff now. - Now carted inside.

- Benkert to Begelton - 8 yard-ish pickup.
- Beautiful series of cuts by Patrick Taylor who reversed fields & picked up 15+ on a run. Gorgeous run. Finished the run with a vicious stiff arm against Jets CB Zane Lewis. And now Jets defensive staff imploring players not to take that.

Press Conference Notes:
Matt LaFleur Presser
- Love threw a little yesterday but probably won't practice vs. the Jets, LaFleur says. "We'll give him every opportunity" to play on Saturday but don't want to make injury worse.
- The joint practices "are great from a competition standpoint," LaFleur says. Fresh faces to go up against, too - different player, different technique, different system.
- LaFleur says rookie Royce Newman will again run with the starting O-line today.
- Yes, Matt LaFleur says there was "a lot of dialogue" with Aaron Rodgers on today's plan, given his feelings about joint practices. He says Jets have some "pretty cool pressure packages" he wants Rodgers to see. "I told Saleh and those guys over there, 'Don't hold back, man.'"
- Matt LaFleur says he sent Robert Saleh the downs and distance for team drill, and it's up to him to match D personnel. His brother, Jets OC Mike LaFleur, did same for DC Joe Barry. So there is a significant element of surprise to react to in these joint practices.
- LaFleur on Yiadom: Big, physical and corner. Will try to get him up to speed ASAP. Expects him to practice today.
- Matt LaFleur reiterates there will be time to "chit chat" with his brother, Mike LaFleur, off the practice field this week, especially given training camp time restrictions with players: "And, shoot, his family is staying at my house, so I'm sure I'll see him more than I want to"
- "It’s good having these guys in. I got to see Josh Johnson. I haven’t seen him in a while. … It was a good day." Said he enjoyed catching up with Greg Van Roten, too.
- Aaron Rodgers: "Tom (Fanning) just told me out here, 'Do not go scorched earth about joint practices.' I'm trying my best."
- "It was physical. No fights. I think Matt was happy about that," he said.
- Aaron Rodgers says Jets were "anything but vanilla" in today's practice. Rodgers didn't like joint practices vs. Houston because it was so vanilla.
- On the OL "Up front, we've got to clean some things up, for sure. There's definitely some jobs to be won."
- Rodgers said that being third year in the system has really made a difference in his performance at the start of camp. He said he has been efficient and it's different from the previous year when he was grinding through all the off-season changes that were made in the scheme.
- Rodgers says offense often comes from mistakes. Tells a couple stories of players running routes from the wrong split or the wrong route and that becomes a new play.
