Highlights From Practice 2 of Packers Training Camp
GREEN BAY, Wis. – After Wednesday’s practice, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers told those “chumps” on defense that it was “1-0 offense.”
It’s 1-1 now.
Thursday’s practice had a red-zone focus, including a lot of third-down situations. The defense won most of those third downs. In fact, when it was starters vs. starters, the defense won seven out of 11. The offense got wins when Rodgers coaxed Rashan Gary offside on third-and-5 to erase a tip-drill interception by safety Adrian Amos, as well as touchdown passes to Randall Cobb, Aaron Jones and Romeo Doubs.
Among the defense’s victories: a hit by safety Darnell Savage to prevent a completion to Doubs, a sack by Gary vs. Yosh Nijman, an incomplete pass to AJ Dillon vs. excellent coverage by rookie linebacker Quay Walker, a combined sack by Kenny Clark and Jarran Reed and excellent coverage by Rasul Douglas to deny a pass to Allen Lazard.
“The old cliche, iron sharpens iron, so you definitely want to try to create as much competition as possible because I think that's going to bring out the best in each other,” coach Matt LaFleur said before practice. “I don't sit there and say ‘That was an offensive day’ or ‘That was a defensive day.’ You're just really looking at the process of all the things that you can control and less about the outcomes, especially early on.”
