Offense:

  • It wasn’t a good route, but Jordan Love connects with Dontayvion Wicks for about 25 yards on a crossing route at the start of today’s practice. Keisean Nixon slipped in coverage on the play, and Love fired a laser.
  • Pratt throws a - dare I say - laser to Jalen Wayne.
  • Love hits a deep ball to Watson. Stokes in coverage. Another downfield play for the offense.
  • Packers might need to start thinking about Michael Pratt as number 2 even more. If he’s this good and doesn’t even know the playbook yet it’s super intriguing. Just found Sims on a corner route rolling to his right for a big gain. He’s been absolute money lately.
  • Love with a gorgeous throw him open pass to Musgrave but 88 can’t hang on.
  • Love tries to hit a seam throw in between the corner and safety to Reed but juuuuust off his fingertips.
  • Love compete to Melton short on a quick out.
  • Love had Davis on a deep post but big overthrow.
  • Love fits a go ball deep to Reed through Bullard and McKinney. Good for more than 30 yards.
  • Now connects with Doubs on an out. Good period for QB1.
  • Tucker Kraft getting some 11-on-11 snaps today.
  • Oh my god. A SCREEN PASS THAT WORKED!!!!! Love hits Musgrave on the TE screen and Kraft takes out two defenders with a block. Nice pickup for the offense.
  • Swing pass to Dillon for a good gain
  • Run gets stuffed.
  • Incomplete on 3rd.
  • Ben Sims with a nice catch over the middle from Clifford and a nice little move after the catch. Two nice plays from Sims so far.
  • Gary was CLOSE to a sack on love and possibly got it. Love connects on 16 yd slant to Wicks. Clocks it and hits Doubs for the 2 yd TD on an out
  • Love executes a gorgeous little drive. 22 seconds left. Opposing 18 yard line. No timeouts. Slant to Wicks for 16. Spike. Touchdown to Doubs who was wide open.
  • Same situation for Pratt. Incomplete in the end zone. Had a chance for a td but overthrows out of bounds.
  • Complete on the next play to Melton to the 6 and out of bounds.
  • Is there a new number 2 QB? Pratt getting both 2 minute drills.
    • Pratt immediately slings two completions. Hicks and Sims, both over the middle.
    • Spike.
    • Throw away on 3rd.
    • FG unit on.
  • Practice ends with Pratt hitting Sims for 29 yards in seam to set up Hale 46 yarder to end practice.
  • Offense does pushups to end the day.
Defense:

  • Zayne Anderson with a pick of Clifford and a nice return on the play. Clifford has been avoiding picks lately.
  • Believe that’s now 18 picks for Packers defense in camp.
  • Quay Walker dropped out of practice a little bit ago. No real concern over his status, though.
  • Big mistake by rookie Javon Bullard who doesn’t lineup right and leaves Jayden Reed uncovered.
  • Xavier McKinney a bit shaken up after the play and walks off with a trainer to the sideline. Looks fine along the sideline. Has his helmet ready to go. Doesn’t look like anything to worry about.
  • McKinney back in team good to go.
  • Kristian Welch with a near pick of Love over the middle. Never saw it. Welch just dropped it.
  • Love tries to hit Doubs deep but Stokes all over it. 50/50 ish ball that Stokes prob had a slightly better chance at. Ball falls incomplete.
  • Love rolls right and throws a wobbler deep downfield but Evan Williams doesn’t locate it and gets called for an easy PI on Melton.
  • Kalen King woulda lit up Clifford on a corner blitz. Never saw it coming.
  • TJ Slaton bats down Pratt at LOS
  • Ballentine pbu outside.
  • Goodness, Lukas Van Ness can turn the corner off the edge. Just blast past Kadeem Telfort to sack Michael Pratt. That looked like the defensive line equivalent of a layup.
  • 40 seconds left. Tie game. Ball at own 45. First and 10. 1’s up first.
    • Love had Wicks over the middle but it was slightly behind him and Wicks had to slow down for it. In the meantime Jaire closed in a blink and broke it up.
    • Incomplete to Doubs down the left sideline. Good pressure. Was basically a throwaway.
    • False start offense. I believe Walker.
    • Love tries to hit Dillon deep. Dillon a bit late locating it but it was too far in front anyway.
    • Defense wins.
Special Teams:

  • Alex Hale goes 3 for 3 (33, 41L and 46L). 8/9 - 88.9%
  • Hale hits another FG in a move the ball period. He’s 4/4 today. 9/10 - 90%
  • Hale no good from 56; wide right. 9/11 - 81.8%.
  • Hale missed three more wide right again, one off the post. He’s 4/8 today. 9/14 - 64.3%.
  • Hale hits the final fg in 2 minute to end practice. He’s 5/9 today. 10/15 - 66.7%.

Interviews:

  • Matt LaFleur: Presser
    • Says MarShawn Lloyd will not be practicing.
    • Says he and Broncos coach Sean Payton have spoken a few times about how to approach Friday's practice. Their last conversation was yesterday: "We feel like we're in a pretty good spot, and we're on the same page and ready to roll."
    • On Jacob Monk: "You're going to see him at all the interior spots, at left guard, center, right guard. That's going to be part of his job."
    • Jordan Morgan will be limited today.
    • "It's big time. That's something we absolutely emphasize here," said LaFleur about DuBose as a run blocker. "No block, no rock."
    • On whether Javon Bullard could push for the slot corner role or if Keisean Nixon has that job locked up: "I think it's all competition. We'll let it play out."
 
Glad the coaches giving Pratt a chance to see if he can step up in the #2 role. Clifford is not worth keeping on a NFL roster and if Pratt can't step into the #2 role I think they need to look for a QB at cuts.
 
Clifford is not worth keeping on a NFL roster
i think you're awfully hard on him. he's only ever been in two regulation games, and that was just for a a total of 13 snaps. he completed the only pass he threw for 37 yards. how can you judge a qb on that tiny bit of exposure?

i'm not saying he's great, but i'm saying we don't have enough live game reps to know how good/bad he can be.
