Packers Training Camp Day 5 Notes

#Packers GM Brian Gutekunst says "we needed depth" at RB, likes how the position looks now with Corey Grant and Darrin Hall additions.

#Packers GM Brian Gutekunst on joint practices with the #Texans – “It allows your ones to take valuable reps against another team without exposing your QB to injury. That’s really valuable.”

Tony Brown yelling that someone needs to line up on the back who’s been split wide in red zone. Offense goes quick for an easy score. Pettine is…displeased.

#Packers practice ends at 1 hour, 50 minutes.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 30, 2019

Looked like Matt LaFleur pulled the No. 1 offense after one play in the final team period because of a turnover. Jaire Alexander force fumble after Davante Adams caught a slant. Blake Martinez recovered it. We'll see what LaFleur says about that after… https://t.co/1ygyqzHoTp

First turnover of the day. Ento picks off Wilkins and Rodgers makes the tackles

— Paul Bretl (@Paul_Bretl) July 30, 2019

Aaron Rodgers goes deep to…. Kevin King. INT.

— Lily Zhao (@LilySZhao) July 30, 2019

PA rollout and Rodgers leads MVS just a little too far. Had his man beat.

— Paul Bretl (@Paul_Bretl) July 30, 2019

Nice play by Robert Tonyan, again repping with the 1s, beating Kevin King on a crossing route over the middle and catching a pass from Aaron Rodgers. Good way to get the QB’s attention.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 30, 2019

AR finds MVS across the middle. Tight coverage from Jaire.

— Paul Bretl (@Paul_Bretl) July 30, 2019

Sweet throw from Kizer on an over route to Moore off play action in team work. Coverage was good, just great placement. Nice catch and run from Moore.

— Aaron Nagler (@AaronNagler) July 30, 2019

Kizer drops in a TD to Hall after motioning out. Coverage bust.

Then Kizer finds EQ St Brown on the opposite side in the back of the end zone #Packers

— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) July 30, 2019

Tim Boyle finds Trevor Davis, who makes a nice catch, even with Kevin King all over him

— Lily Zhao (@LilySZhao) July 30, 2019

Manny Wilkins airmailed a deep comeback to Lazard that ends up being picked off by Kabion Ento. Brutal throw.

— Aaron Nagler (@AaronNagler) July 30, 2019

Davante Adams got Jaire Alexander all turned around on that rep. Catch Adams.

— Aaron Nagler (@AaronNagler) July 30, 2019

Nice job coming back to the ball by J’Mon Moore on a deep dig vs pressure. Rodgers had to trust the WR would read it like he did, and Moore delivered. Solid practice so far from the second year wide out.

— Aaron Nagler (@AaronNagler) July 30, 2019

Really good play by #Packers CB Kabion Ento, undercutting WR Allen Lazard to intercept Manny Wilkins. Ento is a big corner, great vertical, and former college WR. Showed some ball skills there.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 30, 2019

Speedy Darrius Shepherd on one kickoff coverage. Late add at receiver showing up on special teams and in that WR rotation

— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) July 30, 2019

Aaron Jones is spending time catching passes from WR coach Alvis Whitted. Next to him? Marquez Valdes-Scantling & Davante Adams. #Packers

Bakhtiari v Za’Darius, I’ll watch this all day.

Z wins round 1.

— Paul Bretl (@Paul_Bretl) July 30, 2019

David Bakhtiari's explanation on losing his pair of one-on-one reps vs. Za'Darius Smith: "I kind of forgot what it felt like to lose. So I kind of wanted to lose two in a row to see how I respond for the rest of practice.”

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 30, 2019

Keke took Ws against Pankey, Light and McCray

Elgton Jenkins at Center with the twos.

— Bill Huber (@PackerReport) July 30, 2019

Elgton Jenkins is all man. Impressive in 1 on 1s.

— Aaron Nagler (@AaronNagler) July 30, 2019

ZaDarius Smith and Rashan Gary looking good again in one on ones. Kyler Fackrell had a pair of wins too.

Elgton Jenkins looked good at center. I had him down for three Ws in my super scientific analysis #Packers

— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) July 30, 2019

Wrote about Madison at center the other day. Just had a horrendous shotgun snap.

Kenny Clark giving Lane Taylor the business in 1 v 1s

— Paul Bretl (@Paul_Bretl) July 30, 2019

How did Montravius Adams feel when DC Mike Pettine, who now calls Adams defense's most improved player, didn't think highly of him when they first met in 2018?

"For me, it was great … With him saying that, it was like, ‘I am going to prove to him that I am who I think I am.'"

— Matt Schneidman (@mattschneidman) July 30, 2019

Kenny Clark, the Packers' best D-lineman, agreed with DC Mike Pettine that Montravius Adams is the defense's most improved player:

"We already knew he had the ability. His get-off is better than all of ours. He's quick off the ball. He's strong, country strong. It's crazy."

— Matt Schneidman (@mattschneidman) July 30, 2019

Keke took Ws against Pankey, Light and McCray

— Paul Bretl (@Paul_Bretl) July 30, 2019

Za’Darius Smith and Rashan Gary were working with the defensive linemen but then ran back to OLB drills as soon as I walked over. So you’re just gonna have to take my word for it #Packers pic.twitter.com/qQ0y1JxnjR

— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) July 30, 2019

Oh man, Za’Darius Smith just blew by David Bakhtiari in 1-on-1s with an inside move. Bakhtiari had a false start the snap prior. Smith winning today after Bak won the other day. Packers’ best pass rusher and best O-lineman fairly even to start camp.

— Matt Schneidman (@mattschneidman) July 30, 2019

Bakhtiari didn’t even touch Z Smith on second rep. You do not see that happen to Bakhtiari in one-on-ones ever. https://t.co/TmF0aUr8yP

Oren Burks blows by a blocking attempt by Jimmy Graham. Would have absolutely wrecked a toss play to Jones.

Rookie ILB Ty Summers just made his best play of camp, blowing up a run with a TFL with fellow rookie Curtis Bolton

— Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) July 30, 2019

11-on-11 ends with Bolton TFL. A player to watch.

— Bill Huber (@PackerReport) July 30, 2019

Davante Adams got Jaire Alexander all turned around on that rep. Catch Adams.

— Lily Zhao (@LilySZhao) July 30, 2019

AR finds MVS across the middle. Tight coverage from Jaire.

— Paul Bretl (@Paul_Bretl) July 30, 2019

AR finds Adams who beat Jaire but Jaire forces the fumble.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 30, 2019

He just locked up Geronimo Allison on a deep corner though. Goes both ways. https://t.co/ZSSvUFN25X

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 30, 2019

Funny tidbit. Kevin King just told us he gave the football back to the QB he picked off. King with a smile: “He knows.” I’m sure Aaron Rodgers does.

— Lily Zhao (@LilySZhao) July 30, 2019

Hollman continues to get reps with the first string defense.

— Aaron Nagler (@AaronNagler) July 30, 2019

A blitzing Amos chases down Jones in the backfield

— Paul Bretl (@Paul_Bretl) July 30, 2019

Savage on Saturday:

"Everybody recovers differently. I think I’m coming along well.

"I can’t dwell on (not being out there) or beat myself up about that. It’s just bad timing, my wisdom teeth acting up at a bad time. But it’s out now, and I’m on the ups and feeling good.” https://t.co/WvirCjojPM

Haven’t seen this yet in camp: Josh Jones back with Adrian Amos as deep safety, Raven Greene in the box as hybrid LB. Jones and Greene had been flipped.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 30, 2019

Gutekunst says Josh Jones has had a promising start to camp, likes the #Packers safety's skillset: "I think there are some really positive signs that he can help our football team."

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) July 30, 2019

#Packers safety Josh Jones got first-team rep as hybrid LB in 3-safety nickel.

Ficken hits 3-4 and is 11-14 for camp. All three misses went right.
