Offense:

  • 1 vs. 1
    • DuBose beats Ballentine. Clean win.
    • Wilson drop vs Williams.
    • Reed smokes Nixon.
    • Watson beats Stokes easy. Deep td.
    • Wicks leaping sideline catch vs Rochell.
    • Doubs short completion vs Jaire.
    • Incomplete to Heath. Not on same page as QB. Davis in coverage.
    • Wilson win short vs Williams.
    • Melton had Bullard beat deep. Underthrown. Melton didn’t adjust well to it.
    • Wayne win on a comeback vs Green.
    • Sims awesome route vs AJJ and was open deep but overthrown.
    • DuBose looks awesome. Just broke Ballentines ankles then made a leaping td catch.
    • Reed had a step on Nixon but couldn’t make the diving catch.
  • DuBose looked absolutely awesome in 1x1s.
  • Jordan Morgan blocked Kenny Clark first rep and then the vet got him back on next one.
  • Elgton took four one on one reps and put on a show.
  • Jordan Morgan stood up Devonte Wyatt on bull rush.
  • Jacobs is doing team. Starts with a nice run.
  • Sean Rhyan gets the start at RG in team.
  • Tom is at LT.
  • Zach Tom returns to RT and stays in front of Gary, allowing Love time to hit wicks on deep crosser. Great job by Love re-setting his feet and throwing a laser.
  • Sean Rhyan great job blocking LVN to buy time for Love on the Wicks throw as well.
  • Another big run by Jacobs. Two really nice run to start practice. That injury seems jusssssst fine.
  • Doubs with a drop is worth noting because it’s Doubs, and he usually catches everything.
  • Sean Rhyan just sealed slaton too.
  • Dillard spelling Tom with ones.
  • Love throws a swing pass to Lloyd but it hits him right in the hands and he drops it. Second drop by the offense.
  • Love rolls right and Tyler Davis does an unreal job of blocking Rashan Gary to buy time for 10 to fire downfield for Watson for about 20-25. Don’t think I’ve ever seen Adam Stenavich that jacked up. Stenavich ran right up to Love after the throw all jacked up.
  • Jordan Morgan just went inside with a trainer.
  • Clifford’s hit a couple nice throws rolling left to Sims.
  • MarShawn Lloyd has a drop and a fumble during first team period.
  • Love starting off very strong today. A very nice touch pass to Musgrave on an out for a first down.
  • Telfort rotating in now too.
  • Love to Doubs on a slant. Love consistently finding solutions to the defense right now. Seeing the move Doubs just gave Stokes off the line leaves me in awe.
  • Love with another dime to Watson with Ballentine in coverage.
  • Love finds Musgrave but Musgrave cannot make the catch. Love on fire - the pass catchers not so much.
  • J. Wilson can’t hang on over the middle on a contested play by Hopper.
  • Josh Jacobs with a nice little shimmy to try and avoid Bullard.
  • Toure catches a slant thrown just behind him for 5 yards on third and 2.
  • Pratt with a bullet to Joel Wilson right over the middle. Nice pluck by Wilson. Pratt can sling it.
  • Love looked to have a nice deep ball downfield to Wicks but it certainly looked like Wicks completely misjudged it and jumped to early. To be fair it is very windy right now and maybe the trajectory changed a bit.
  • Love with a nice slant to Reed to pick up a key first down in move the ball. Really nice day for Jordan.
  • Competition period with 24 seconds left and one timeout from 50. Love finds Watson for 15.
Defense:

  • 1 vs. 1
    • King good coverage on Toure.
    • PBU by McKinney vs Musgrave.
    • Coyle great coverage and PBU vs Swinson.
    • Jaire pbu vs Doubs. Good coverage. Bad throw.
    • Williams win vs Wilson.
    • Green great coverage on Hicks. Broke up the pass.
  • Bullard at S
  • Ty’Ron Hopper getting reps with Walker and McDuffie.
  • LVN with a big time tfl on Jacobs. Prob 5 yard loss.
  • Jaire with fantastic coverage on Wicks. He’s been pretty damn lockdown in team. Pbu.
  • Cooper isn’t practicing but is deep downfield mimicking the LB footwork.
  • LVN has made a few plays today, including a “sack” now of Pratt.
  • Lloyd gets stuffed by Welch on a run and after the play the defense knocks it out which they are trained to do even after the play is “over.”
  • First three one snaps go to Bullard. Now Williams in with 29.
  • Kenny Clark with a pressure up the middle.
  • Team ends with Hopper blitzing and pressure breaking up the play.
  • Slaton possible sack.
  • Jaire locking up today. Like white on rice against Wicks and Watson for two incompletions during team periods. Second one hit Watson in the hands with Jaire on his back and 23 almost picked it.
  • Ty’Ron Hopper with quite the thump on MarShawn Lloyd on a run stop.
  • Slaton with a tipped pass at the line on Clifford.
  • Eric Wilson with a very quick sack of Jordan Love on a blitz. Called a safety in the end zone. The first time Love really hasn’t had a read on the defense.
  • Anthony Johnson Jr just absolutely buried Grant DuBose on the backside of a run play. Drove him right into the ground on a blitz
  • Jaire talking nuclear levels of trash at the offense between plays during an end-of-game drill.
  • Quay Walker sitting out a second period.
Special Teams:

  • Carlson and Joseph both go 3 for 3 from 35, 39 and 41.
  • Both kickers 1-3 into a wall of wind**.**
  • Joseph doesn’t have the distance in the wind. He misses another. He’s now 41/48 - 85.4%
  • Carlson hits the post on a long FG as well. He’s now 38/48 - 79.2%.
  • Today is an absolute brutal day for the kicking competition. Windy in Green Bay. Gonna be a day to forget for Anders Carlson and Greg Joseph in camp.

Interviews:

  • Matt LaFleur: Presser
    • Says TE Tucker Kraft will practice today, but he'll be limited to individual drills. No team reps today.
    • Zach Tom will not play this Saturday. Jordan Love WILL play.
    • "Ideally, we'll have everybody padded up. Just how much they play is the real question."
    • On Caleb Jones: "He's a guy that's grown a lot." LaFleur adds that more consistency--as is the case with everyone he adds--is a focus. "That's a heck of a competition right now," said LaFleur of the swing tackle role.
    • Confirms that Christian Watson came out of Family Night without an injury. "He's fine."
    • On Michael Pratt's performance on Family Night: "He shows it in practice. He's not afraid to do that (push the ball down the field). Just like I said with a lot of these guys, trying to get a little bit more consistent. That position, naturally, there's a lot of information that's pushed at you."
    • On starters playing in the preseason opener: “Re-evaluating the last couple years from when we’ve had guys not play and last year having them, all the guys play, I thought it was beneficial for us early on, especially Week 1, just to kind of knock some of the rust off. I think there was a lot of value of going through getting your mind right to get ready to play a football game. Obviously, we’re going to be smart with those guys. The last thing we want to do is put guys at risk.”
 
Don't know why ML pumping up Caleb Jones been hurt all of camp. Been on the 53 the last 2 years because of his talked about potential but I don't think he's ever been active for a game. Time to walk away and move on. If he clears waivers put him on the PS but stop giving this guy a spot on the 53.

Nonexistent depth at OT, in GB and league wide. Thats why.

If the guy can't be active for a game after 2 years I question then if he's worth keeping and just not wow he's a really tall OT with long arms lets spend years trying to see if he can play football.

I know but it's just dire straits around the league. The story that's gotten lost in the hype of Love's play and the WR and the DBs is that the OT situation is kinda gross. Until Tom came back this week, Telfort has been at RT because I guess Dillard has been such a disaster. I thought they'd try Morgan there but I think they wanted to pencil him in at OG and now he's dinged for a week or so. I agree they need to figure out the OT situation but they can't wave a magic wand and have capable guys come available. Jones knows the org and they know him, so they're not going to give up right away without better options.

This coaching staff does a lot of things exceptionally well, but one of the things that I don't think they do well is quickly identify the best 5 on the OL and where they fit best.
