Matt LaFleur has 2-part plan to avoid fights in #Packers joint practice with Cardinals. If part 1 fails, he’ll go fight the other head coach. That’d be Mike LaFleur, Matt’s younger brother. “You come tag me in, they can tag in my brother, and we’ll throw down on the 50.”

Why did Tucker Kraft return before signing extension? “Guys got to medically retire from this shit. They bang heads, messed up necks, backs. How many times can you blow a knee out? Guys keep fighting and clawing to come back into this locker room, and that’s the reason I do it.”

#Packers D front didn’t sack Bryce Young, but Micah Parsons made fair point on pass rush. Young hit 11-20 for 102 yards, and GB still lost. “If we lose a game like that in the NFL, we just didn’t play good. Not too many quarterbacks are throwing for 100 yards and winning.”

A week into camp, Jordan Love believes working mostly with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden has accelerated their timing. Something he couldn’t do a year ago with WR depth. “You build trust and understanding of where guys are going to be and how things time up.”

Micah Parsons doesn’t believe his career-high 3 sacks today was his best game as a pass rusher. He just got more 1v1s than most weeks, something that surprised everyone, Parsons included. “I tell coach all the time, if I’ve got a 1 on 1, I like myself 8 out of 10 times.”

Update on Matthew Golden’s role from #Packers OC Adam Stenavich: “Golden’s got a really bright future, very talented, and his time will come. But I think right now just with the way that room is, he’s not going to be in that premier role when the playoffs come around.”

Micah Parsons concedes he can’t catch Myles Garrett in sack chase. With that, DPOY is longshot. But Parsons says goal is having his best season. Asked him if 2025 has been. “I read same thing you guys read, ‘He never finishes the year.’ Well, it’s time to go finish the year.”

Asked Micah Parsons if a QB like Jayden Daniels forces defenses to pick and choose how they rush the passer. Clearly, he’s not about that. No change in mentality coming from Parsons this week. “We’ve got horse engines now. I don’t see anybody outrunning me from the edge.”

Matt LaFleur wanted to “pump the brakes” on idea Malik Willis gives #Packers better chance than Jordan Love. “It’s pretty clear that Jordan is our franchise quarterback, and he’s going to be — when he’s healthy — he’s going to be our starter. So I just want to squash all that.”

Christian Watson couldn’t believe Bears covered him single man with one-high safety on the third down either. No complaints though. Happy to keep single coverages coming. “As soon as I saw Jordan make the check, honestly I’d like to say I knew it was going to be a touchdown.”

Jeff Hafley’s confidence in Matt LaFleur reviving the #Packers offense is clearly unshaken. “That’s one of the best head coaches in all of the NFL, and one of the best play callers, who I still hate going against in 2-minute like we do today, because he’s really hard to defend.”

Brian Gutekunst really shielded interest in Dani Dennis-Sutton. #Packers didn’t contact him throughout draft process. By Day 2, Gutekunst was ready to trade back into 3rd round for him. Soon after being drafted in 4th round, DDS heard from Micah Parsons. “Get ready to work.”
