Packers veterans who I don’t spot at the first open practice of voluntary OTAs:
Dallin Leavitt

Who cares about Jordan Love and the OL, give us all the news about the long snapper battle and Jakadis Bonds.
Saw an article about Samari Toure's rebuilt body and newfound steely reserve, but the most interesting part was just a note at the end that last season his teammates called him "Captain Casual."
Ouch.

.In total, it was a hot-and-cold day for Love. Rather, it was a cold-and-hot day. He went 1-of-4 on his first series of plays, then 2-of-5 in a third-down drill in the red zone that failed to gain a first down or find the end zone.
He fell to 3-of-12 following a 0-for-3 series that included drops by Aaron Jones and Dillon.
Love got going late in practice, though. During a second red zone period, Love connected with Christian Watson for a touchdown against Keisean Nixon – Watson went to the flat before turning his route inside and made the catch in the back of the end zone – as well as scores to Romeo Doubs and Samori Toure.

Being named captain in your rookie year is a big deal!!
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
Rodgers gave him that name last year, but also commented that by end of year Toure had picked up his intensity.

It’s OTAs. There’s no pads. It means next to nothing. We all remember DJ Williams…
But Luke Musgrave looks fantastic today. Quick, soft hands, body control, over the shoulder catch deep down the field. He’s been as advertised.

@AndyHermanNFL
Nice quick hit pass from Love to Doubs off the quick play action fake in gun. Rodgers ran that play so well - Love stepping right in where 12 left off.
Next throw Love is wide to Dillon in the flat off PA.
Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL
Lukas Van Ness with a gorgeous rush on Yosh Nijman. Legit teach tape stuff. Played the run off play action, ripped through the tackle, exploded to the QB. Fun stuff.
Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL
Love fires into double coverage deep down the field to Doubs. Ball hangs a bit and Savage comes down with the fairly easy pick.
Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL
Devonte Wyatt is here but not practicing. Great to see Quay practicing after dropping out last week. With Wyatt out, Colby Wooden getting legit looks with the 1s on defense. Huge opportunity for him.
Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL
Corey Ballentine should have had a pick 6 of Love in coverage vs Reed but the ball bounces off his hands. Not an ideal play as a Packer fan all the way around.
Next play is a false start by Caleb Jones.
Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL
Love with a gorgeous pass over the middle to Musgrave in stride on the next play with Moore in coverage. Musgrave can make a real difference in the mof.
Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL
Love finding some rhythm. Back to back completions to Toure and Reed on what looked like slant routes.
Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL
Love shows off his mobility, navigates the pocket, rolls to his left, throws a bit of a wobbler to Doubs who is wide open and catches it for a big gain down the left sideline.
Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL
Sean Clifford to Malik Heath for the play of the day so far. Beautiful ball from the rookie and Heath did well to catch it over his shoulder in stride.
Now Clifford to Watts on a slant. Slightly high but Watts made a great adjustment and still accelerated through the catch.
Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL
Packers connecting on the slants today. Love to Doubs in two minute drill. Now Deguara with a catch over the middle.
Love to Doubs on a nice out route. Perfect timing from 10. Stops the clock.
Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL
Love had Jayden Reed for a td in two minute on a deep corner route, but ball is overthrow. Love still working on timing with young WRs.
Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL
Love hits Doubs in stride over the middle. Drive continues.
Then Musgrave gets his second catch on the drive. Offense moving.
Andy Herman
@AndyHermanNFL
Heck of a fading away awkward arm angle throw from Love to Doubs for a completion. Looks like that’ll do it for practice today.

Love is sounding better as he gets reps in practice, I still think he is an XFL QB but I REALLY hope Im wrong.
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
Sounds like they were working on slants and seam routs today. Rodgers was not big on slants, so that may be a good change with Love. Being able to attack the seam will be a good change.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
We saw what happens when Love hits Watson in stride on a slant route vs. Philly. GB has some young fast WRs and slants are generally quick throws so it's not a bad idea.
Apparently Musgrave looks good running routes in shorts. shocker. Still, he should be at least as good as Tonyan was last year, with the benefit of 4 years of contract under GB's control.
Rodgers threw less over the middle on average than most QBs. I expect that to change, which will likely be part of the reason we'll see more interceptions. Hopefully, it's countered by more sustained drives.
A rare acorn of truth from you, sharpe. I hope posting it doesn't mean you're happy about it. Myself, I hope, although don't necessarily expect that Love soaked up enough of Rodgers way of playing that he doesn't play down to that expectation - throwing picks over the middle, etc.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Tex, you imply that I lie. Disagreeing with you is not lying. More name calling is not improving your arguments..
Every QB has to throw over the middle, so it's a matter of degree. Rodgers had better numbers when he did throw over the middle, but still favored the outside more than most QBs. This suggests he was choosing the less optimal option.
More throws into the MOF, more pre-snap motion, 12 personnel where both are a receiving threat, running RPOs differently, less timeouts burned. Offense will be similar on surface but I think have a lot more wrinkles.
This will actually be a chance to find out how good of a coach MLF really is.
I actually think the offense will look a lot different on the surface. Rodgers didn't like a lot of pre snap movement, instead relying on his experience to call audibles. I expect a lot more motion and different formations to disguise a more basic set of plays.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
No, I don't think you lie so much as you are just bonehead stupid. As I said, you got it right in this rare case. It wasn't really clear, though, whether you were FOR or AGAINST throwing over the middle more and getting more interceptions.
Mad Scientist and whoever: it's too early to say for sure, but I think there will be a lot of the same things Rodgers did with Love, even the read and react change at the line stuff. Assuming he's smart, which it seems like they think he is, I'm pretty sure they will encourage that because it's smart football.
