    Jaire Alexander on Jeff Hafley: "The first day he came in, I was in his office. I talked to all the coaches. He was very open to suggestions, ideas from me, which a lot of coaches don't wanna hear sometimes and I just knew from that point, we're gonna have something."

    "I love Haf. We had a good conversation yesterday, actually. Haf's super smart. He's SUPER smart. He's a DBs coach. You would love to play for a guy like Haf because he's gonna break it down and he's gonna cater to what we're covering ... Besides football even, me and Haf have very interpersonal conversations and I can respect that about him. It's more than just a coach. He's a man. I'm a man and we can have those conversations."
    "So, coach, what kinda porn you watch?"

    "It's not so much the kind as it is the quality of the actress, you know?"

    "Oh yeah, I get that. Hey, you open to some suggestions? I been watching some really wild shit lately."

    "Oh hell yeah. Let me get a pen so I can write it down."

    And beyond that, Alexander says Doubs is a great receiver. Mad had that one pegged.
    "The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

      Grant DuBose with the early lead for Training Camp Surprise. Been very good the last 2 days.

      Doubs has probably been the best receiver overall. And I'm not just saying that to make Mad happy.

If he looks bad in the game, make the switch afterwards. Sometimes players use training camp to work on things they wouldn't do in actual games, so there could be some of that going on.
          Hell no. You trying to ruin his trade value? If no Love it won’t matter so leave him at 2. Only his second year and it’s not the Packers way to not invest a little time. Homeboy can be our next Hasselbeck.

            General:

            Full pads

            Jordy Nelson at practice today

            "Green Bay is a balmy 85 degrees"

            Welcome to practice #8

            Next Event: Open Practice, Aug. 1st 10:30AM CT

            Injured:

            Carrington Valentine CB (hamstring)

            Deslin Alexandre DL (lower leg)

            Donovan Jennings G/T (knee)

            Keshawn Banks DL (groin)

            Tucker Kraft TE (PUP, pec)

            Not Practicing / Limited:

            Caleb Jones OT (hammy, limited)

            Kitan Oladapo S (toe, limited)

            Zach Tom OT (pec, limited)

            Zayne Anderson S (knee, limited)

            Offense:

            O-line during opening walkthrough is Walker/Jenkins/Myers/Rhyan/Tom

            1-on-1 period:

            Romeo Doubs just cooked Jaire Alexander

            Jordan Love connects with Jayden Reed on a deep ball. Keisean Nixon in coverage, but Jayden Reed beat Nixon off the line of scrimmage.

            Romeo Doubs’ next rep? Leaves his feet and dives to haul in the catch across the middle. Jaire in coverage again.

            Short completion to Watson vs Stokes.

            Wicks beats rochell on a slant.

            Sims with a great move that left Bullard way behind.

            Hicks not on same page with QB

            J. Wilson with a step on Williams but couldn’t make a diving catch.

            Heath toasts Callis for a deep td.

            Watson slant win vs Stokes

            Reed nice little in n out route for a completion vs Nixon.

            Wayne toasts Callis for a td.

            Melton beats King on an out route.

            Telfort bounces back against Brenton Cox, winning both reps.

            Jordan Morgan was competitive against Wyatt.

            Rhyan had good rep vs bull rush from Brooks

            Starters in team:

            Love

            Jacobs

            Wicks - Reed - Watson

            Musgrave

            Walker - EJ - Myers - Morgan - Telfort

            Love to Wicks in stride over the middle for a nice pickup.

            Love gets good protection off play action and tries to fire over the middle to Watson but he was covered very well and it’s incomplete. Had Dillon wide open on a swing pass.

            Dillon with a real nice run on a stretch play. Want to know how much different Dillon looks? He beat Cooper around the corner!

            Grant DuBose catching everything this camp. Defense jumps and Clifford throws a tight deep ball to connect for 42 yards. 86 high pointed it vs Williams and Anderson deep.

            Dillon with another nice run. This one prob only for 5 but a good cut to get left and get up field for positive yardage.

            MarShawn Lloyd first run of camp in team, gets a nice pickup to the right. Hopper might have had him around the line if there were tackling.

            Jacobs pops a nice run through B gap following Morgan and Tyler Davis seal.

            Two really nice blocking reps by Tyler Davis. One creates space for Jacobs on the edge and the other is picking up Clark who burst through the line.

            Nice blocking by Morgan/Dillard on the right side to get Jacobs a nice pickup.

            Tyler Davis with a great block to get Love time. He throws deep downfield but Stokes all over it and breaks it up.

            Love hits Wicks on a run solution slant on the backside. Shades of Brett Favre.

            Jacobs nice job getting around the edge but the defense is begging for a holding call.

            Walker great block on Van Ness. Love has Musgrave open downfield but overthrows him.

            Dillon inside for a few. His feet look so much quicker this year.

            False start OL. Play continues and Clifford throws a strike to Melton for about 11.

            MarShawn Lloyd almost loses an exchange from Eason but holds on barely. Play gets blown up though. No gain.

            Now Eason bobbles a snap from Monk.

            Clifford just heaves one up the right sideline and DuBose goes up for a phenomenal catch. DuBose is making a play every day.

            DuBose gets a chance with the ones but drops a short pass from Love.

            Jacobs a nice pickup on what might have been a screen.

            Lloyd and Jacobs can’t get much on the next two plays which were also screens.

            Pratt finds Stanley on a crosser for a nice pickup.

            Nice throws from Easton to Wayne on an out route. Wayne’s made some really nice plays in practice.

            Outstanding diving catch along the right sideline by DuBose. Not going away.

            High snap from Monk to Clifford who can’t handle it.

            Next play Clifford throws a perfect ball on a deep corner route to Toure. Williams in coverage.

            Clifford to Toure for about 4.

            Clifford misses DuBose on 3rd down. 4th and 7ish coming up.

            Jacobs shows some burst up field but they only give him 4 on the run. Finally in pads, you can really see how smooth he runs.

            Doubs finds the sticks, sits and gains 9 on third and 8 MTB

            Love buys time but can’t find anything and throws away over the head of Musgrave.

            Love hits Musgrave but only a couple. 4th and 4 ish coming up. Which they decide against. New series.

            Jalen Wayne extremely physical at the break point, gets Green to fall over. No flat. Catches the comeback easily.

            Love deep down the field for about 40 to Watson. Hits him in stride. Nixon as outside CB in coverage.

            Defense:

            1-on-1 period:

            Gary just hit Telfort with a spin move in one on ones that left Telfort wondering what happened.

            Leaping attempt from Sims vs Bullard but incomplete.

            McKinney perfect coverage on Musgrave.

            King phenomenal coverage on Toure.

            Balentine punches out the ball on Melton.

            Ballentine perfect coverage on Stanley.

            Sims wins easy vs Bullard again

            Enagbare had a nice speed rush vs Tenuta and celebrated with DL

            Starters in team:

            Gary - Slaton - Clark - Smith

            McDuffie - Quay

            Jaire - Nixon - Stokes

            AJJ - McKinney

            TJ Slaton with a TFL on Josh Jacobs during team periods.

            McDuffie has been a run stopping machine. All over a Dillon run.

            Karl Brooks jumps offsides on a love hard count. Love throws outside to Melton but Ballentine with great coverage incomplete.

            Coyle all over a pass to Joel Wilson who bobbles but is forced to catch it behind the line of scrimmage for about a 5 yard loss.

            Looks like Edgerrin Cooper is done for the day. He’s out of his pads and no longer has his helmet.

            Love throws to a WR on a crosser route but Nixon is blanketed on it and breaks it up.

            Kingsley Enagbare bats a pass from Love at LOS to end drill

            Wilson stops Dillon in the backfield for a 2 yard loss. Nice play by 45.

            Clifford almost gets picked by Rochell. Broken up either way and turnover on downs.

            The rookie safeties are getting a lot of notice, for good reason, but Anthony Johnson Jr is quietly having a really good camp.

            AJJ all over a WR screen to Watson. Loss on the play.

            No Jaire right now. Nixon and Stokes outside with Bullard in the slot.

            Quay all over a run to Jacobs. Not much on the gain.

            Jaire now in for Stokes. Nixon still outside.

            Isaiah McDuffie shoots into the backfield and stops Jacobs for a 2 yard loss.

            McKinney picks off Love on a throw over the middle for Melton. Defense continues to make a ton of plays.

            Quay Walker shows off his ridiculous speed on a screen to the outside to Jacobs. Quay all over it for no gain.

            Now a swing to Jacobs outside and Bullard is all over it for a loss. This defense flies.

            Karl Brooks opens No 2 two minute with a sack

            Colby Wooden zone drops and breaks up pass across the middle on 3-13

            LVN & Enagbare combine for a sack of Clifford.

            False start by Telfort but the play continues and Clifford throws a ball right to a dropping Colby Wooden but he can’t pull the Raji. He drops it.

            4th down. Checkdown to Lloyd but Rochell is all over it. Defense wins easy.

            I think Gary would have had a sack but Love escapes for a big gain and gets out of bounds. Ball at the 11. 13 seconds left. First and 10. No timeouts.

            No pushups today, for those who like that info.

            Special Teams:

            Nixon and Rochell first up as gunners on punt team. Stokes tried jamming Rochell but 22 flew right by him. Whelan murdered the ball. It’s dead. RIP ball.

            Bissacia said Whelan has been working on his directional punting and it shows. Just had a classic coffin corner punt from about 40 yards out.

            Bo Melton downs a perfect punt at the 5 yard line.

            Interviews:

            Matt LaFleur: Presser

            Guys are going to have to dig deep today, LaFleur says of the heat. They'll practice a half-hour longer today.

            Says today's practice will be 30 minutes longer than yesterday, which MLF felt was somewhat lethargic: "It’s gonna be a little bit of a gut check, I think."

            "You talk about a pro. He does everything the right way," said LaFleur about Eric Wilson. "He continues to get better and better as a linebacker."

            On how the team will approach the cutdown to 53: "You've got to be somewhat cognizant of your needs and what you're going to play with. ... I would say, for the most part, most teams are going to keep right around the same numbers at certain spots."

            On Devonte Wyatt: "He's come in in probably the best shape he's ever been in. His effort running between the whistles has been as good as anybody. So I do expect him to take a leap this year. I think what we do is beneficial to his skillset, and I'm excited for him."

            Says Grant DuBose came into Training Camp with his back against the wall. Added he’s excited to see what DuBose can do come preseason.

            "He's very intentional and deliberate about the work he puts in," says LaFleur about Doubs.

            Says Tucker Kraft won't practice today but is getting close.

            On MarShawn Lloyd: "He's a work in progress. He's missed a lot of time, a lot of valuable reps. Certainly, got to get him back in football shape. There's no other way, in my opinion, to simulate that other than being out there, getting those reps."

                Careful, the Doubs Doubters will not like being wrong.

                “Starters in team:

                Wicks - Reed - Watson”

                Sounds like a battle for the #2 WR spot is in progress.

                  Doubs, Wicks and Reed will be the 3 main recievers for Love. Maybe Watson if he stays healthy and with Jacobs out of the back field? How will anyone stop us?

                    MarShawn Lloyd makes his presence felt with an explosive run for about 50. Ballentine would have had a chance at him after a cut back but either way an impressive play for the rookie.
                    Andy Herman
                    @AndyHermanNFL

                    Karl Brooks has been heating up as of late. A would be sack of Clifford in team. Brenton Cox pressuring as well.
                    Andy Herman
                    @AndyHermanNFL

                    Love to Watson in stride over the middle. Ballentine in coverage.

                    Clifford is either super short for DuBose or super high for Melton. Either way it’s incomplete. Defender had the best chance.

                    Eric Wilson the wily vet with another play in the backfield. This time on Lloyd.

                    Clifford nice little bootleg to Melton.

                    @AndyHermanNFL

                    Carlson goes 1/3 kicking. He’s now 22/27 in camp.

                    Joseph goes 3/3. He’s now 25/27 in camp.

                    Joseph widens his lead somewhat significantly.

                    @AndyHermanNFL

                    Love with an absolutely unreal seal throw to Watson in cover 2. Just beyond the reach of Quay and before the two safeties. Couldn’t have handed it to him better 30ish yards downfield. Best throw of camp so far.
                    Andy Herman
                    @AndyHermanNFL

                    MarShawn Lloyd with a nice little catch over the middle. He moves so damn easy. Such a fun player to watch.
                    Andy Herman
                    @AndyHermanNFL

                    LVN is stacking success! Another sack this time of Love. He’s had a really nice week of practice.
                    Andy Herman
                    @AndyHermanNFL

                    McDuffie and Van Ness all over a Lloyd run.

                    Zayne Anderson all over a quick out to Reed. It’s completed for a few but Anderson right there for the stop.

                    Enagbare bursts through for a tfl on Dillon.

                    Devonte Wyatt goes right through Sean Rhyan for a big time pressure. Love stays strong in the pocket and delivers a strike over the middle to Wicks.

                    @MarquesEversoll

                    Love hits Wicks with a laser over the middle, just past a diving McDuffie. (1st Down? Apparently not)

                    Love to Wicks again on a slant. This time, the chains move.

                    End of drive.

                    No. 1 move-the-ball —

                    Reed jet sweep loses a yard.

                    Handoff to Dillon for 4.

                    Checkdown to Dillon moves chains.

                    Love pressured, “tackled” by Wooden near LOS.

                    McDuffie & LVN stuff Lloyd on a run to the left. Short gain.

                    Love quick out to Reed. 1st Down.

                    JJ stuffs Dillon.

                    @ByRyanWood

                    Another miss for Anders Carlson, pulling a 49M wide left. He’s 3-6 today. All 3 misses wide left.

                    Greg Joseph is 6-6 today.

                    Joseph is now 28-30 in camp. Carlson is 24-30 in camp.

                    Beautiful over the shoulder grab from Love in two minute to defense 15. Good for 27. Also had first catch of drive for 13

                      Carlson has to go now! He is going to blow it when it matters most like in SF.

                        A lot of passes to Watson end up going as picks. I just don't think he's ever going to make that next step. He's okay. I don't know.

                          Are we talking about deep passes? If he is getting shit taken away from him under 20yds then maybe but likely a bunch of deep, jump balls in practice are the reason.

                            I'm not concerned, everything will be straightened out when the season starts

                              I agree. I will never forgive him for missing that kick in Frisco

                                I think Love last year had a tendency to force deep passes to Watson that were covered, leading to INT's. Right up until the last pass he threw. The jury is still out on how good Watson will be, but at worst I think he is a rich man's MVS.
