CB LaDarius Gunter beat deep again. Adams stays balanced and fights for Rodgers' pass. Gunter failed to make a play on the ball.

We saw Gunter get beat a lot last year too.

I am on record as saying I didn't think Gunter would get faster in the offseason. I don't think anyone disagreed.

In fairness, getting tested by Rodgers to Adams is about as tough as it gets for a db. If he gets smoked by Hundley to Yancey then say hello to Randall.

[Smidgeon]

I like to see this

Devante Mays has another gear. Just ran away from a guy who looked to have the angle.

[gbgary]

pluses and minuses from day one:
+ davis, adams, mays, williams (heard he had a great blitz pick-up)

- gunter, all rbs (heard there were several funbles), rodgers for over-throwing davis

Rookie report: The Packers are easing top pick Kevin King into things. After he missed most of the offseason program because his school (Washington) was still in session, the second-round cornerback worked mostly with the No. 2 defense on Day 1. "Mentally, I know Kevin's ready go," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. It may not be long before King moves his way in with the starters but for now, Davon House and LaDarius Gunter took the first-team reps.

Best play of Packers' camp Day 1: The Aaron Rodgers to Davante Adams connection that took off last season was on display early. Rodgers delivered a perfect deep ball to Adams, who had beaten cornerback LaDarius Gunter on a go route. Adams barely had to outstretch for the ball that he caught in stride for a 60-yard touchdown. Gunter's biggest weakness is speed, and it showed when he let Adams beat get behind him.

Gunter's not soft; he's just slow. So half the Packers' problems are solved!

MM on Special Teams:

"We're very green, and I'm not talking about the color of the uniforms."

That's good news for the Janis lovers.

#Packers CB Herb Waters will not practice today. McCarthy said Waters re-injured his shoulders yesterday. Original injury happened in OTAs.

Ryan Wood

#Packers coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged sloppy run game on camp's first day, ball on ground too often. Wants it cleaned up immediately.

Michael Cohen
@Michael_Cohen13
McCarthy said Trevor Davis and Geronimo Allison have matured physically since last season. They are bigger and stronger. #Packers

Michael Cohen
@Michael_Cohen13
McCarthy said Randall Cobb is always part of the punt return game, but he expects Trevor Davis to take a big step in that area. #Packers

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood
McCarthy sounds high on #Packers WR Trevor Davis. Said he's definitely bigger than last year. "He's done a great job in the weight room."

I heard King was in for Gunter starting opposite House today.

Martellus Bennett left field after grabbing his leg following noncontact drill, but he ran back on and is doing drills. You can breathe now.

In 2 minute drill King at CB ahead of Gunter and Lowry inside rusher with Daniels

Ryan Wood

With 1 second on clock, Aaron Rodgers threads tight coverage from #Packers S Morgan Burnett to cap 2-minute drill w/ 13-yard TD to Bennett.

Aaron Nagler
@AaronNagler
Burnett has done a fantastic job these first 2 days staying w/Bennett when they match up..then Rodgers hits him with an in-defensible laser.

Aaron Nagler
@AaronNagler
Great back shoulder throw from Huntley to Trevor Davis in the end zone to beat Gunter for a TD. Tough one to stop.

Michael Cohen
@Michael_Cohen13
Second round of 2-minute drill: Hundley hits Geronimo Allison for a huge gain up the seam. Hundley back-shoulder to Trevor Davis for the TD.

Aaron Nagler
@AaronNagler
Rodgers didn't see it, but Janis shook House bad off the line of scrimmage. Play went to the opposite side but that's a great rep from Janis

Michael Cohen
@Michael_Cohen13
First interception of camp belongs to Damarious Randall. He made a sliding interception of Brett Hundley over the middle.

Aaron Nagler
@AaronNagler
Rollins getting all the reps in the slot with the ones in Pass Under Pressure.

Pete Dougherty
@PeteDougherty
Morgan Burnett lots of work at ILB with 1s, same for Josh Jones with 2s

Ryan Wood
@ByRyanWood
Brett Hundley threads to Jeff Janis, no window. Gunter and Randall collide playing ball. Gunter gets INT, Randall was slow getting up.

Very encouraging for Janis. I am sure coaches will see it on film. Breaking from press man was one thing he did not do well. Could be good sign.

Very glad to see King advance and Hundley makes some plays to Allison and Davis.

Rodgers throws his first interception of camp. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix sliced in front of Bennett and made the catch along the sideline.

Aaron Nagler
@AaronNagler
Nice diving catch on the left sideline from Colby Pearson. Kid has some talent. Interested to see him with the lads on.

@PackerRanter
After reading tweets from one and half training camp practices, I can confidently say this:

SUPER BOOOOOOOOWL!

Tom Silverstein
@TomSilverstein
Clinton-Dix only gets one foot down before going OB on potential 2nd INT.

[gbgary]

gunter beat again...but gets the first int of camp so far.

[KYPack]

HOUSE!

Silverstein Twitter
Davon House and LaDarius Gunter the starters at CB, Randall is the nickel. Jake Ryan and Joe Thomas at ILB. #packers

They need to flip Gunter and Randall.

Gunter has the best pre-snap and solid mechanics, but the boy can't run the field.
