When it comes to training camps, the Green Bay Packers pretty much kept it status quo for 14 years as they did not ever participate in joint practices with other teams.
It was a brand new feeling around Green Bay as the Houston Texans came to town. A feeling that Aaron Rodgers could do without.
After the Packers finished up the two-day joint practice with the Texans — the Green Bay packers QB was certainly relieved and seemed to prefer that the franchise never do another one again.
Via Packers News:
“I wouldn’t mind if they didn’t do it for another 14 years,” Rodgers said Tuesday, via video from packersnews.com. “I think if they. . . . Look, that’s out of my control. I think the key for all of us here, we know how important training camp is not only to our fans but our local businesses. Unless we’re going to California, I’d be bummed out if we had to go to another city. You bring a team in, I understand the point of it. I don’t think doing live special teams drills is very smart. I think the [NFL]PA is going to look at that, for sure. The kickoff especially is one of the most dangerous plays in football, and that’s why they’ve tweaked different things over the years. Close to a live kickoff drill I don’t think is best use of a [joint] practice.”
Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien was forced to kick rookie safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. out of practice on Monday after several hard hits against the Packers.
Johnson didn’t practice Tuesday after he posted a photo on social media of him flexing over Sternberger who had to get checked for a concussion after his helmet came flying off from a big hit.
