I do wonder if Rodgers is pushing himself to take more risks.

I take 2 things from this:Quote:
Packer Report @PackerReport 24m24 minutes ago
Demosky asks about Rodgers throwing 5 INTs in practice thus far. "The good news is you're paying attention," MM says.
Packer Report @PackerReport 23m23 minutes ago
MM says three or four were competitive balls, giving guys chances to make plays.
1. Rodgers is challenging his receivers to make plays.
2. The defensive secondary is at times outplaying the Packers vaunted receiver corp.
MM said he thinks AR is making more throws in practice that he wouldn't in games to give guys opportunities to make plays.
McCarthy is in seriously deep water.
Vince Ostrowski @VJ_Ostrowski
I've found the PERFECT @JSComments post. This will never be topped, in my mind.

Nelson has another perspective on AR's interceptions:
Quote:
Just as Rodgers’ decisions may be different in camp than they would be in a real game, so might the receivers’ actions, according to veteran Jordy Nelson. He explained that a 50-50 ball in camp can put a receiver in a tough spot, because he’s always going to try to make the catch no matter what, whereas in a game, a receiver in a disadvantageous position might break up the pass and make sure it’s not picked off.
Right now, in early August, no one is going to give up the chance to shine, especially when on the field with the two-time MVP.

I haven't read anything about Haha Clinton Dix. Is he a non factor?
Rodgers seems to always throws INT's in camp when he wouldn't during the season. I think he likes to test the receivers and see who wins the 50-50 balls.

Bobbo's Friday Practice Report http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packe...321110841.html
Rajion Neal has been impressing with the extra reps coming with Crockett's absence and Lacy getting some rest with his sore foot. He has impressed Edgar Bennett who said he was "flashing" some nice ability. The former college WR lost Jake Ryan with a hesitation move during the practice.
For everyone panicking about the lack of mentions of Ha-Ha Clinton Dix, Bob reports that he and 2 other safeties went 1 on 1 versus the vaunted Packer WR corp on Friday. Jordy got the best of Sean Richardson outside and deep, but the starting safeties were able to thwart Cobb (HHCD) and Janis (Burnett). As a result of the trouble the WRs had with press coverage, he declares the WR worthy of the dreaded thumb down award. Burnett said the goal of the drill for the safeties was to tie up faster WRs at the line.
Quinten Rollins Band: WR Javess Blue, a rookie free agent, had impressed as a clever route runner. Then, on Friday, he really hurt himself by dropping a well-thrown corner route of about 20 yards from Brett Hundley in the end-zone corner behind Quinten Rollins.
Nelson Works Smarter Than Thou: On Thursday, Nelson spent a 2-minute musical interlude having Mike Trgovac, the defensive line coach, demonstrate how the D-linemen had just finished a drill in which they slipped by a dummy. Obviously, Nelson saw value in wide receivers trying it.
Worrying Note to Watch:
http://packerstalk.com/2015/08/08/su...-packers-camp/Quote:
Casey Hayward: Hayward hasn’t necessarily been a disappointment in the traditional sense as he has been a solid player in camp, but for a guy who was ranked so high by the analytics community and is looking for an extension, he has been off and on. He has shown flashes of the big play ability that makes him so exciting, but he has struggled in press coverage and with recovery. He will be a good player this season, but I expect more from a guy that talented.
Exceeding Expectations: Monty, Mulumba, Palmer, Linsley, Gunter
Needs Improvement: Magic Abracadabra, Hayward, Joe Thomas, Carl Bradford, John Crockett,
Not sure how Linsley can exceed expectations. Any improvement to his technique at all, and he's going to be a perenial pro-bowler. The only NFC center in his class is Frederick in Dallas. Tretter likely got himself Wally Pipp'd, he ain't getting back on the field.
Oh - and from the previous post - just what is a 'clever' route runner? I'm sure I don't know what that could mean.
I imagine its someone who can sell the fake move before the real move. Precise routes would mean not only are you where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there, but that you have also lost, or kept at bay, the defender. You can either out-technique him (Jennings) or outsmart/juke them (clever WR).
Just a guess though.

The #Packers dope sheet lists Alex Van Pelt in the coaches box this season with offensive playcaller Tom Clements back on sideline
That will be different but the same. Former QB coach Clements was up in the box previously. New QB coach AVP moves there now. Plays still called by someone on the sideline.
