Press Conference Notes:
Matt LaFleur Presser
Jordan Love:
QB Jordan Love said he found out Rodgers was coming back on his way back to Green Bay. His agent let him know. "I didn't know what to expect from it," he said of the situation. "It's great to have Aaron back."
Love said he had to convince himself he was going to be the starter all off-season because there was that possibility. He said he didn't ask Rodgers about his situation when they talked. "I had to get myself ready for the season," he said.
Jordan Love said that he and WR Reggie Begelton were not on the same page when he threw the interception in the move-the-ball drill. He thought Begelton was going to take the route in a different direction and threw it where he thought he'd be.
Love said that he will absolutely try to follow through on the play Matt LaFleur calls when he gets into the games, but speaking of moving around and/or scrambling, he said, "If there's a play to be made, I'll make it."

- Rodgers, nothing but net from 45 yards Video | Video2 Rodgers, if my eyes didn’t deceive me, then smiled, pointed at his right bicep, then looked and pointed at team president Mark Murphy. Murphy was laughing right back at him.
- A continuing trend - a wide receiver wide open in team drills. This time Adams over the middle. Kinda need to keep an eye on him.
- Nice hole for Jones running behind Patrick/Turner/Lewis.

- That Gary bull rush >>> right thru the RT (couldn’t tell who it was—not Turner).
- Dean Lowry explodes into the backfield for about a 3 yard loss on Jones.
- Vernon Scott and Henry Black getting lots of reps at safety. Will be interesting to see where Redmond lands on the depth chart when he's back.

Press Conference Notes:
Matt LaFleur Presser
- Matt LaFleur says TE Josiah Deguara, who is recently off PUP, will be limited to individual work today: "We're going to slowly integrate him back into the flow of things."
- When asked if there's anything Rodgers does that LaFleur doesn't want Love doing ( like Favre), LaFleur walks a hilariously fine line of explaining that Rodgers doesn't always follow the rules on canning plays, quickly adding that it's for a reason and 12 is usually right.
- Matt LaFleur says he has "a feel" for what Jordan Love can do, but it's different when a QB gets live snaps, which he has not seen. He says a big gap between Love and Aaron Rodgers is their autonomy at LOS. Love's duties at line are simplified. "Indecisive equals ineffective."
- "We're super-excited to have our fans back in the stands," LaFleur says of Family Night.
- Matt LaFleur confirms what he hinted at yesterday: there will be live tackling at the end of Family Night in a full 11-on-11 session. Treating it like a 1st preseason game.
- LaFleur says the thing that he remembers about his first family night is that he couldn’t believe that many people showed up to watch a practice.
- LaFleur on Jordan Love scrambling: "Certainly we don't ever want to pass up an open receiver to go off schedule. I think he has the athleticism to manipulate and move up in the pocket... Ultimately, it's such a feel thing. You always want the QB to keep his eyes downfield."
Jordan Love:
QB Jordan Love said he found out Rodgers was coming back on his way back to Green Bay. His agent let him know. "I didn't know what to expect from it," he said of the situation. "It's great to have Aaron back."
Love said he had to convince himself he was going to be the starter all off-season because there was that possibility. He said he didn't ask Rodgers about his situation when they talked. "I had to get myself ready for the season," he said.
Jordan Love said that he and WR Reggie Begelton were not on the same page when he threw the interception in the move-the-ball drill. He thought Begelton was going to take the route in a different direction and threw it where he thought he'd be.
Love said that he will absolutely try to follow through on the play Matt LaFleur calls when he gets into the games, but speaking of moving around and/or scrambling, he said, "If there's a play to be made, I'll make it."
