A great rep in WR/CB one-on-one drills by Kevin King against Jake Kumerow. Stayed with Kumerow on a double move, faking the fade and going to a dig. King broke up the pass. Example of what King can do when healthy, and why it’s so important for him to be on the field.

Trevor Davis also with a great rep, shaking Javien Hamilton on a post-to-sideline move. Wide open but pass a little outside. Davis has to dive and was able to tap both feet inbounds before going out. Impressive.

Dexter Williams really showing some patience as a runner. Great job following his blockers a good 10 yards downfield on the perimeter. Did a good job of letting an inside run develop yesterday. Pretty impressive for a rookie.

Two really good reps from Cole Madison in one-on-one drills, standing up Tyler Lancaster twice. Madison’s first fully padded practice since stepping away from football last year.

#Packers rookie Rashan Gary really impressed in one-on-one drill. Beat tackle Yosh Nijman with a speed move outside, then beat LG Lane Taylor with a power move inside. Easy to see Gary’s athletic explosion in that drill.

In 11-on-11, Rashan Gary just came free on an inside stunt and, I kid you not, I haven’t seen a guy that big run that fast since Julius Peppers. Shot from a cannon. Would have been an easy sack. My goodness.

In team drill, guard Billy Turner put a walloping trap block on OLB Preston Smith to open up a big hole for Aaron Jones.

A difference in LaFleur’s first pads practice from McCarthy’s is the physicality early on. McCarthy used half-line run drill to get players in a lather. More focus on 11 on 11s from the start with La Fleur.

LaFleur’s practices have been shorter in time than Mike McCarthy’s. He’s carried this format from past teams. “I think we can get the work we need to get some in a shorter period of time.” Says evening walkthroughs are important to supplement some practice work.

Watch out for Dexter Williams. He was a 6th round pick only because off the field issues limited his playing time at Notre Dame. He needs to stay out of trouble, but if he does he's every bit as talented as Aaron Jones.

How do you insert quotes like that, joemailman?

[RashanGary]

Gary, Hollman, Turner, Zadarius, Dexter Williams, Kevin King, kumero all making some splashes early!

[RashanGary]

Larry McCarren impressed with Alex Light, an UDFA from last year. Sounds like his LT reps have been solid. We might finally be done with Spriggs! And it will make moving on from Bulaga next year easier too! Cole Madison looking like a quick learner too. The OL is looking promising.

Good sign from Cole Madison since Lancaster is pretty strong. Maybe Cole will not be just finesse.

Click on wrap function at the far right which lools like a caption box and insert text.

But remember

Important caveat: Gary wasn’t blocked. Makes a big difference. But from purely a speed/athletic perspective, wow. That was pretty rare.

[RashanGary]

Pass rush one on ones mostly in favor of the offense so far, except Clark who beat Lindsey once and Gary who destroyed Spriggs once, beat him again and then beat Lane Taylor inside. Plus Gary has had a couple team period sacks, one where his speed was off the charts on a stunt.

Zadarius in backfield a lot in team drills but stymied by Bakh twice in one on ones.

Hollman working his way up quickly into playing time. Would be great to have a quality rookie cover guy added to Alexander and King.

Larry McCarren impressed with Alex Light and Cole Madison. That fairs well for the OL moving forward.

King playing at a very high level. 7lbs heavier. Doesn’t look so feeble/skinny.

Looks like a competent veteran interior back end of our defense developing. Martinez (ILB), Amos (Box safety) and Tramon (Nickle.) All of that experience and savvy in the middle zones should allow Pettine to open up the playbook.

A few things to be excited about so far!

[RashanGary]

Dexter Williams starting to splash too.

So there’s some good news so far. No serious injuries. Lafleur seems to be bringing the offense together and AR seems to be getting comfortable in it. I’m liking the camp so far. Losing Daniels the only ouchy so far.

and Gary who destroyed Spriggs once, beat him again

Where did you see this and when did it happen?

[Upnorth]

As to Light and Madison looking good so far, who have they matched against? and which d are they playing against? If against the 1's, then im happy, if against the 2's well lets wait and see.

Fackrell with a little pressure vs Light.

Keke loses rep 1, better rep 2.

Patrick gets the best of Lancaster twice.

Jenkins and Looney with a good battle 2x.

Gary is so damn good. Spriggs no chance. ������

Spriggs does better rep 2 but Gary powers through it.

Covers most of the one on one matchups Dline versus Oline. But he tweets a ton so you have to dig. I have not seen anyone post totals to date.

Another important caveat: Having a defender running free to the QB regularly is something Pettine tries to accomplish by confusing blocking schemes. This was not just a screwup in practice that you'll never see in a game. Actually, just having Gary with a 1 on 1 matchup with a Guard on an inside rush would be a advantageous situation for the Packers. I watch a game film of him against OSU, and usually when he took an inside rush he got double-teamed. Teams won't be able to do that against the Packers.
