LaFleur says #Packers were just being “cautious” with Aaron Jones today, holding him out because of the hamstring tightness.

PACKERS MIGHT NEED TO SACRIFICE A GOAT

@ByRyanWood
#Packers have rotated Justin McCray and Lucas Patrick as first-team center, just to spell Corey Linsley. Today, it’s Patrick. That’s a possible pathway to the roster.
Alex Light also getting first-team reps at RT to spell Bryan Bulaga. Light has spelled David Bakhtiari too.

@ByRyanWood
First 2-minute warning if #Packers camp ends with a highlight catch from Marquez Valdez-Scantling, a 34-yard touchdown down the right sideline with about 10 seconds left. MVS beat Jaire Alexander for the score.

@ByRyanWood
Aaron Rodgers was 6-for-8 for 70 yards on the drive. Davante Adams caught two passes, both for first down, including a 6 yarder on 3rd & 3 one play before the touchdown. Good showing for a #Packers offense that had been behind the defense most of camp.

@ByRyanWood
With 3 seconds on clock, #Packers backup two-minute drill ended with Sam Ficken’s 48-yard field goal.

@ByRyanWood
Thus concludes #Packers’ 2-hour, 19-minute practice. Longest of camp so far, thanks to those added two-minute drills.

@ByRyanWood
#Packers coach Matt LaFleur says his issue with Josh Jones is he doesn’t want players to tackle, as Jones did vs Tra Carson. Also said there’s a “zero tolerance policy” against fighting. LaFleur on pulling Jones: “I told him to get out at that particular moment.” Didn’t return.

I WANNE BE ANARCHY! IS THIS THE MPLA? OR IS THIS THE UDA? OR IS THIS THE IRA? I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE UK? OR JUST ANOTHER GREEN BAY!

@ByRyanWood
Defense thought MVS got away with an OPI vs Jaire Alexander on 2-minute TD. There was definitely some bumping. I thought it went both ways. LaFleur says he’ll check the tape after practice. Something he’ll be able to do in the middle of a game this fall.

@ByRyanWood
MVS on whether he had OPI on Jaire Alexander in 2-minute drill: "I don’t know. We’ve got to go back and look at it. I can’t tell you. I just went up and made a play. That’s all I wanted to do, is go make a play."
Well. That didn't sound guilty at all.

@JimOwczarski
#Packers RB Tra Carson waved off the tackle/back-and-forth with Josh Jones in practice with a smile: “It’s one of those things. Everybody’s just competing. No hard feelings for nobody. You know how it is. It’s just competing in practice. That’s all it is.”

@RobDemovsky
Marquez Valdes-Scantling caps the 2-minute drive with a 33-yard TD catch but sure looked like he used a swim move to cast aside Jaire Alexander. Would've been a possible case to challenge for sure. (link: http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41071444-4) espn.com/espn/now?nowId…

[Radagast]

Are # Packers practicing screenplays? Which RB is performing best in the screenplay? Which backup QB is preforming best executing the screenplay? Who is blocking best on the screenplays?

With Aaron Jones nursing a hamstring, which RB is performing best? Which side of the 1st team OL opens the largest holes for RBs? Which RB blocks best in pass protection? Which RB seems to be the smartest as far as adjusting to the changing conditions of a play?

How are the TEs performing? Which TE is the best blocker? Which TE is the best receiver?

Is MVS showing up Adams at WR? Who looks to be the #3 starting WR?

Are Rodgers reps. being monitored, and if so what is his daily rep. limit?

[Radagast]

With Family Night fast approaching, will any of you be in attendance?

What highlights can we look forward to at the Family Night practice?

[mraynrand]

[run pMc]

Practice? We talking 'bout practice?

As long as nobody goes on IR from it, I wouldn't expect much from Family Night.

I often have a hard time remembering how to spell that one.

Saw a great picture of Alex Light holding his young son, the young boy wearing an old-fashioned summer outfit, complete with those old-style maroon shoes with tassles.

He was a little Light in the loafers.

Practice? We talking 'bout practice?

As long as nobody goes on IR from it, I wouldn't expect much from Family Night.

Especially since the Packers evolved vags and stopped the live tackle. I’d pay 10 hard-earned frogskins to watch a Green vs Gold “spring game” scrimmage, but not an infamous practice.

[pbmax]

Say hello to the last inter-team practices during the Gutey era.

@JimOwczarski
Rashan Gary was wrecking things so badly for 3rd string #Texans OL he was grabbed hard from behind and kind of bent awkwardly back as he fell. A little slow getting up but he did. He continues to show out. #Packers

@JimOwczarski
#Packers LB Randy Ramsey took his jersey off his pads and went inside. We’ll see if he just needs an equip adjustment or if there is another issue

@JimOwczarski
Za’Darius Smith limps off his second one on one attempt and took his helmet off. #Packers

@TomSilverstein
S Adrian Amos bangs up shoulder and is off the field.

@TomSilverstein
Amos came back for a play and still has his helmet during break.

@JimOwczarski
Trying to keep an eye on Z. Smith after he tweaked his right ankle, but on simultaneous 7v7 one of the #Packers backup groups had such good coverage the coaches blew it dead with no throw. Ka’Darr Hollman & Raven Greene were in that group.

@PeteDougherty
Watched 1on1 pass rush Packers’ D vs. Texans’ O, refs blowing plays dead quickly so Packers D did t wi many, Z Smith beat T Matt Kalil on their lone matchup

@JimOwczarski
I’m back watching AJ McCarron throw touchdown passes. Hit Steven Mitchell Jr. deep over Will Redmond. #Packers #Texans

@PeteDougherty
Houston DB Lonnie Johnson Jr. drilled Packers TE Sternberger on pass over middle, quasi flight ensues as Packers players take exception,Sternberger to Hutson Center to get checked on by medical staff

@ReinerOlivia
TE Jace Sternberger gets rocked by a Texans DB, his helmet flying off. Sternberger just walked inside the Hutson Center.

@ByRyanWood
After team drill concludes, Aaron Rodgers and Texans DL Angelo Blackson exchanged some words, face mask to face mask. No idea what was said, but didn’t seem like they were discussing beer chugging.

@JimOwczarski
Sternberger back on for special teams work. #Packers

@JimOwczarski
Jake Kumerow dinged his hand again on a special teams play. He tweaked a finger on family night but played through it. This one stung him.

[pbmax]

@WesHod
Boyle had best throw of that team period on out route pass to Jawill Davis. Ready to see No 8 in preseason

@ByRyanWood
Already knew Danny Vitale could catch, but didn’t realize he could CATCH. Just leaped over Texans ILB Zach Cunningham for a terrific grab on a fade some 25 yards downfield. Not bad for a fullback.

@BillHuberSI
New Packers OLB Markus Jones, who dominated Division II with about a billion TFLs last year, gets a sack.

[RashanGary]

two Highlights from the practice today. 1 Vitale caught a 35 yard bomb like a WR in double coverage. The other was seeing one good pass rush rep in team drills with Watt vs Bakh. Bakh held of his first push and second, but watt eventually got one arm into Bakh and drove him away en route to Rodgers. On a quicker release, that’s a win for Bakh but a drawn out play like that, Watt won. In short, Watt won but it was everything he had. About what you would expect but it was impressive to see a guy that powerful move Bakh.

Earlier in the practice, the Texans left Vitale wide open underneath, so Rodgers dumped him the football and he gained 10-12 easy yards.

This makes me happy.

During an 11-on-11 “move the ball” drill late in the practice, Vitale ran a wheel route from the backfield and then skied over Texans linebacker Zach Cunningham to haul in the deep throw from Aaron Rodgers down the far sideline.

This isn't bad either.

[RashanGary]

I’ve been to four practices. Vitale is ridiculously good at running routes and catching. I’ve nevet seen a FB so talented as a pass catcher. It really is a weapon.

The catch today was just incredible. Diving, and there were two defenders. He just made an amazing catch. But he does that every day. It’s who he is. He’s fast and athletic and has great hands.

Good thing they have a new coach because that's a weapon stubby would refuse to use.

William Henderson would like a word.
