GREEN BAY – The Packers conducted a full-pads practice of slightly over two hours in duration Monday at Nitschke Field.
Here are five things we learned:
1. It's tough to keep Aaron Rodgers & Co. down for an entire practice.
In a number of 11-on-11 periods pitting the first units, the Packers' defense was getting the better of the offense quite a bit.
Between Rodgers throwing balls away under pressure, cornerbacks Eric Stokes and Rasul Douglas breaking up passes, and linemen Kenny Clark and Dean Lowry deflecting throws at the line of scrimmage, there was just a positive play here or there for the offense, and the talkers like Douglas were letting them hear it.
