I imply, I see he’s made two Professional Bowls, do good for him, however he blocked for Aaron Rodgers. That don’t make you no person.” Effectively, alright then. Right here was Jenkins’ response:

Reader would additionally go on to explain the Packers’ offense somewhat bit within the locker room following Wednesday’s follow. Based on him, Inexperienced Bay runs “numerous RPOs, play-action sort issues.” When you needed a perspective on Matt LaFleur’s offensive id from an opposing defender, there you’ve it.

Other than a few deep throws to receiver Romeo Doubs, quarterback Jordan Love hasn’t pulled the set off on too many shot performs all through coaching camp. That didn’t change at the moment, because the throw of the day was simply a 60-yard throw and catch from Like to Doubs in crew drills.

Goodberry additionally shouted out rookie first-round decide Lukas Van Ness, who he stated beat 2021 second-round decide Jackson Carman a number of instances in one-on-one drills.

The final Bengals media member we’re going to incorporate on this submit is Kelsey Conway, who covers the crew for the Cincinnati Enquirer.
