We haven't heard much from Green Bay Packers cornerback Damarious Randall about his move to the slot. He addressed it on NFL Network. Here's the video.
The post Damarious Randall Likes Move to the Slot appeared first on Total Packers.

I find Randall's comments very interesting, when talking about practicing against Aaron Rodgers

"It's almost, not real, practicing against him."

"I think it kind of hurts us practicing against him."


I think that's a very interesting perspective, and please don't take that as a negative. But most QBs can't do the things Rodgers does... AND/OR they do things completely different.

Rodgers holds the ball forever... but think of some of the QBs like Matt Ryan and Phillip Rivers who tore the defense apart... they didn't hold the ball long, they got that thing out of their hands fast.

Think about how few QBs actually play like Rodgers...
Could practicing against Rodgers, hurt the Packers when they're trying to focus on QBs that are so completely different?

I thought most teams practice against a scout team. Even then they are not going 100%. They are not running plays they will see during the game they are running plays they THINK they will see during the game. What self respecting NFL coach isn't going to change up the plays at least a little? NFL practices are only a shadow of what they once were.

But after this comment I thought maybe they face off more against each other than I think, especially with the coaches keeping the 2nd and 3rd teams very vanilla, to better judge the players equally. That way the 1st teams can work on more complex stuff? That's just a guess.

Can you think of a more logical reason Randall would say this?

At this point, there really isn't a scout team. That comes around more for the regular season. all DBs get time against Rodgers.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!
