Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers made it clear: He’s happy the two days of joint practices with the Houston Texans are over, and he’s not exactly looking forward to when coach Matt LaFleur schedules another one.

The Packers and Texans practiced together for two hours each day on Monday and Tuesday at Ray Nitschke Field in Green Bay.

“I’m glad it’s over,” Rodgers said after Tuesday’s practice. “So we can get on to the rest of training camp.”

The Packers hadn’t been a part of a joint practice since 2005, during Rodgers’ rookie year.

“I wouldn’t mind if they didn’t do it for another 14 years,” Rodgers said.

Rodgers’ personal frustration with the joint practices had roots in the increased possibility of injury – specifically during live special teams work, an idea he was critical of – but also in the blandness of the schemes being used by both teams.

The Packers weren’t unloading the offensive playbook for an opponent in early August. For Rodgers, that reality took away much of the value of practicing against another team. During normal training camp practices, the Packers offense can run anything and everything.

“The tough part is, they’re not trying to show a whole lot, we’re not trying to show a whole lot,” Rodgers said. “The physicality is a good thing, Going against someone else is a good thing. But schematically, there wasn’t a lot shown.”

Both days, the Packers offense struggled at times during live team work against the Texans, likely due to the simplicity of what both sides were doing.

Rodgers once again reiterated how much he likes LaFleur’s offensive scheme. In fact, much of his frustration was likely due to not being able to run the full scheme against a live opponent. LaFleur and the Packers kept it simple, by design, and Rodgers was like a kid who had to put away his new Christmas toys for a few days.

“The minor frustration is, when you do so many fun, schematic stuff for 8-9 days, and then it gets cut back for a couple of days. But we’ll be on next week, probably playing, and I look forward to those practices,” Rodgers said.

The Packers are off Wednesday and then host the Texans for the preseason opener at Lambeau Field on Thursday. They’ll be off again Friday before returning to normal practice Saturday. Rodgers isn’t expected to play Thursday night, but at least he’ll get back to normal practices – and the opportunity to dive back into the new scheme – this weekend.
