https://vine.co/v/hMgOjdJjmFw

@TomSilverstein

Lattimore nice hit on Lacy.

@WesHod

DJ Williams caught a bunch of balls in college but he's improved his blocking ability steadily in GB. Gained good leverage on Perry in combo

@RobDemovsky

Half-line drills is where FB John Kuhn really shines. Great blocks on Jennings and Reed.

Team Run:

@Paulimig

Don Barclay gets first snap at right tackle in team period. Marshall Newhouse gets second snap.

@TyDunne

DuJuan Harris is the starting running back to start off the team run period.

@TyDunne

Quickly followed by Eddie Lacy, who shows burst. A sign both players could see some action Saturday.

‏@TomSilverstein

Eddie Lacy, cleared for full contact, goes second and busts off big run up the middle on first carry.

@TyDunne

Mike Neal is upright at LOLB this period. Worked with the outside linebackers earlier in blitz pickup, too.

@TomSilverstein

Mike Neal blows up a running play from LOLB.

@WesHod

Training wheels off for Neal. He's going full force in team run. Looked explosive in fundamentals. Broke up a run play in 11 in 11

WRs vs CBs:

@WesHod

Graham Harrell with perhaps his best throw of camp down field to Alex Gillett in double coverage

@TomSilverstein

Great throw by Harrell deep to Gillett over Lloyce Means.

‏@TomSilverstein

Then Harrell hits Stoneburner across the middle.

@PeteDougherty

Hyde starting at CB ahead of House

@TyDunne

House was beat by Hines, but Coleman overthrew the receiver. Bad all around.

@TomSilverstein

Finley bad drop over the middle on rocket from Rodgers. He was wide open.

@WesHod

Finley with a probable drop open across middle. Had to extend for it but got his hands on it

@TyDunne

Aaron Rodgers fires a 25-yarder to Finley over the middle that the tight end drops. Probably should have had it.

@TyDunne

A rare throw to the second level by Vince Young. Finds Myles White wide open up the seam.

@TomSilverstein

Vince young with quick throw down the seam to Myles White. Nice timing.

@TomSilverstein

Shields picks one off and then option pitches to Davon House on return.

@TyDunne

Low throw by Coleman picked by Sam Shields. Next play, misses Jarrett Boykin deep. Nixon with decent make-up speed to get there.

@MikeVandermause

Coleman overthrows Boykin deep.

@WesHod

Coleman has more than enough arm but just always seems to be a step or two overthrown on deep balls

QBs vs The Blitz:

@TomSilverstein

Finley nice catch and run from Rodgers aganist the blitz.

@MikeVandermause

Rodgers to Finley, who breaks free for nice gain.

‏@TomSilverstein

Mike Neal getting some work at DT in the dime.

@TyDunne

Burnett covering Boykin up the seam. Close coverage, Coleman's throw hits the safety in the back.

@MikeVandermause

It's only scout team but Coleman not in sync with receivers. 2 errant passes in row.

@TomSilverstein

Jarrett Boykin very nice catch on ball thrown behind him from Coleman.

@TyDunne

Watching Mulumba during blitz period. Got the best of Van Roten (at RT) on back to back plays.

@TomSilverstein

With Lang back, Barclay getting more snaps at RT.

‏@MikeVandermause

Barclay getting lots of No 1 reps at RT.

@TomSilverstein

Finley digs out a low one from Rodgers against the blitz.

@TyDunne

Finley bounces back with a difficult, low catch from Rodgers between the safeties and linebackers. Previous drop was first in a while.

@MikeVandermause

Vince Young connects with Boykin in tight coverage.

@TomSilverstein

Vince Young gets a snap with the 1s and hesitates then throws completion to Boykin on a comeback.

@WesHod

Myles White has gotten the best of Jarrett Bush at times in camp. Did it there on rocket from Coleman, shaking him off on cross for big gain

@TyDunne

Harrell has a lot of time to throw that snap during the blitz period. Wouldn't mind that on Sat. Backup OL better this year than last.

‏@MikeVandermause

Micah Hyde solid tight coverage on Justin Wilson.

@TyDunne

Angelo Pease just flattened Manning on a blitz up the gut. Packers might want to get him on the practice squad.

DL vs OL:

OL vs DL one on ones: Perry beats Newhouse around edge.

@TomSilverstein

Lang stuffs Jolly.

@TyDunne

https://vine.co/v/hMgdtJ2b1ph

https://vine.co/v/hMgpuI5H6Ou

@jasonjwilde

Hughes beats Neal.

https://vine.co/v/hMgpWOBMKHT

@TyDunne

https://vine.co/v/hMgpMBDw7gj

https://vine.co/v/hMgp61udXu5

@WesHod

Mike Neal presses circle to beat Lewis in 1 on 1s been a rough day for Texas A$M center

https://vine.co/v/hMgpE01U2hW

@TyDunne

And Clay Matthews gets Bakhtiari in Round 2. ... Gives the OL the hulk afterward.

https://vine.co/v/hMgp3pHnj5A

‏@TomSilverstein

Tough day for Van Roten. Gets beat on Jolly spin move.

@RobDemovsky

Matthews vs. Bakhtiari in one on ones.

https://vine.co/v/hMgDnvjtwKU

‏@WesHod

And Jarvis Reed and Kevin Hughes get into a dust up in one on ones. Reed once again throwing haymakers at facemasks

@TomSilverstein

Kevin Hughes and Jarvis Reed shoving escalates. Hughes grabs Reed's face mask and throws him down.

@TyDunne

Caught the end of a scrum. Began with Jarvis Reed holding Kevin Hughes' facemask...

https://vine.co/v/hMgDP909H6d

@TomSilverstein

Neal with a nice bull rush but he can't keep his feet.

‏@TyDunne

Vid of Mike Neal, followed by a win by Gilbert Pena. Toasts Lewis and D-Line goes wild..,

https://vine.co/v/hMgjrz7YrbP

@TyDunne

Dezman Moses spins....but Marshall Newhouse is there.

https://vine.co/v/hMgjQJIAwvD

@jasonjwilde

https://vine.co/v/hMgIWZ7A2qP

‏@jasonjwilde

Barclay and Lang win in tandem

https://vine.co/v/hMgIQpuz2Dt

@RobDemovsky

Barclay goes 2-2 in the one on ones, while Newhouse was 2-1. One of Newhouse's reps was at left tackle. All of Barclay's were at right tackle

@TyDunne

Drill transitions into 2 on 2. Here are a couple videos...

https://vine.co/v/hMgILhPhMww

‏@PeteDougherty

Daniels 3-0, all 3 big bull rushes vs backups Lewis, Gerhart twice

@TyDunne

Thoughts on 1 on 1s: Mike Daniels still standing out. Bakhtiari holding own vs Matthews. Neal brings strength to OLB.

@Paulimig

I had Don Barclay going 2-2 in OL vs. DL pass rush drill, and Marshall Newhouse going 2-1. Mike Neal was 2-1, Mike Daniels was 3-0.

7 on 7:

‏@MikeVandermause

With Cobb and Nelson Hurt, James Jones, Boykin and Walker get reps with No 1 offense in 7 on 7.

@MikeVandermause

James Nixon nice breakup of Rodgers sideline pass to Boykin in 7 on 7.

Red Zone:

@TyDunne

Red zone now. Looked like Harrell had Tyrone Walker open up the sideline but was quick to hit Gillett underneath.

‏@WesHod 

Packers keeping Young in his comfort zone, rolling off play action. Check to Williams there

@TyDunne

Packers trying to get Young comfortable. A lot play action, rollouts, stuff on the move.

@TyDunne

Quiet of late, Johnathan Franklin squirms through the line for what might have been a touchdown during red zone.

@MikeVandermause

Harrell buys time, rolls left, hits Walker in front corner of end zone during red zone period.

@MikeVandermause

Rodgers to Gillett on slant, then Rodgers helps push him into end zone.

@TomSilverstein

Vince Young red zone with lob to Mulligan for a short TD.

 @TyDunne

One of Vince Young's better passes. Nice touch pass to Matt Mulligan in corner of end zone. TE got a step on Terrell Manning.

@WesHod

Nice pass from Young on goal line touchdown pass to Mulligan. Kept his throwing motion higher it seemed

Sounds like the play of the day:

@Paulimig

Micah Hyde with tremendous coverage and an INT in the end zone on a pass from Coleman to Myles White.

@MikeVandermause

Hyde great bobbling pick in end zone on Coleman pass to White.

@RobDemovsky

Micah Hyde with an acrobatic INT of a corner route intended for White from Coleman. Hyde was falling down and tipped it to himself.

@TomSilverstein

CB Micah Hyde with a circus interception. Reaches up, tips it and catches it while on his back in the end zone.

@TyDunne

Soon after, Coleman throws a pass into the dirt.

@RobDemovsky

One of the longest practices of camp is still going. One more period to go.

No Huddle:

‏@TomSilverstein

Starting at the 30.

@WesHod

Barclay working with one line at RT to start no huddle

@TomSilverstein

Rodgers to Finley middle for 18.

@TomSilverstein

To Finley again, for 12.

@TomSilverstein

Franklin for 4.

@TomSilverstein

Rodgers to Walker deep. Good coverage by Nixon. Incomplete.

‏@MikeVandermause

Rodgers to Jones for first down. Nice catch. And then to Jones again 2 more times and touchdown.

‏@RobDemovsky

Practice ends with a 22-yard TD from Rodgers to James Jones, who smoked Davon House.

@MikeVandermause

Aaron Rodgers was 5 for 6 on that last no huddle drive of practice.

@TyDunne

Rodgers, like Arizona's QBs, went to work on House. Jones burned him by a few strides on the touchdown.

@MikeVandermause

Practice ends after 2 hours 30 minutes.
