More than 67000 enjoy Packers’ Family Night practice at Lambeau Field

The Green Bay Packers accomplished two goals with their annual Family Night practice.

While the fireworks and laser light show are fun, perhaps the biggest upside of the event is the way it inoculates young players in advance of preseason and regular-season games.

Receiver Jordy Nelson isn’t anxious about the training camp turnovers.

Added Rodgers: “I threw five last year in the regular season, so I know how to play in those games”.

“I thought our pass rush was definitely better today”, McCarthy said.

“He’s going to do things in training camp that he might not obviously do on a Sunday – give guys chances to make plays and so forth”, McCarthy said after practice Thursday. We’re trying to get as game-ready as we can.

Once the 11-on-11 work commenced, the defense picked up where it left off at Nitschke Field during the week, with the secondary continuing to make play after play on the ball. “He has to trust those guys as well, but we’re also doing a great job of coming out with the ball”. “Practices are a good time for it and guys will learn from it and understand it”. He’s thrown interceptions on just 1.6% of his regular season pass attempts, the best all-time, and directly ahead of legends like Tom Brady, Neil O’Donnell, and Sam Bradford. He threw 38 touchdown passes against a career-low with five interceptions last season, when he won his second MVP award; in 2011, he had 45 touchdowns against six interceptions.

Why is Rodgers intentionally being more careless with the football?

On a third-and-5, safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix stepped in front of an Aaron Rodgers pass intended for wide receiver Davante Adams. Other than undrafted rookie WR Javess Blue, who went to the locker room after he collided with Packers staffer Kandi Goltz, the team’s manager of game and fan development, as he chased a pass into the sideline, it appeared the Packers escaped without adding to their injury list. So you make different throws, you’re working through different plays.

For the arm chair coaches and general managers out there, you will be able to see certain select formations as well seeing some rookies take the field for the first time.

“Hopefully they can come down with those balls, and if not, breaking up the balls from us. If they’re not making those plays, they probably won’t be around”.
