More football, less MMA is Packers coach Matt LaFleur’s goal behind this year’s joint practices against the Broncos and Ravens.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – For the second consecutive training camp, the Green Bay Packers are taking their show on the road for joint practices.
“I just love getting exposure to new systems, new challenges,” LaFleur said. “There’s similar systems that you may or may not play, so it’s good to get work against that. I think that allows you to play your starters a little bit longer in a little bit more controlled setting where you’re not putting them at risk as much. There’s always an inherent risk when you step out on the grass, but when you’re staying up, you’re not going to the ground, I think that you get a lot of great work.
Last year, the Packers had one joint practice in Cincinnati before facing the Bengals and two practices in Green Bay before hosting the Patriots. While preseason games often feature vanilla schemes as teams keep their best stuff off tape, joint practices allow teams to dive into their playbook. That means especially good work for the Jordan Love-led offense.
