One thing we haven’t seen much of from the Green Bay Packers this preseason is their auxiliary runs. For the most part, the Packers’ summer snaps have consisted of direct runs, with the defense being held by hard play action in the passing game.
That changed on Thursday, the final practice of training camp — which was not open to fans. According to The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman, the Packers’ offense ran the triple option twice during practice today, something I can’t remember ever being done with Aaron Rodgers under center. Per Andy Herman of Packer Report, Green Bay also ran a speed option with quarterback Jordan Love and receiver Christian Watson as the designed ball carriers, a jet sweep to Aaron Jones and a jet motion pop pass to tight end Luke Musgrave, something we’ve already seen in camp before.
