The Packers are back in the building and jumping into work. Their first order of business in Week 8 is self-improvement which on Monday involved one of Head Coach Mike McCarthy’s more innovative coaching sessions.

On Monday, the Packers went “Across the Hall,” a self-scout method that has players and coaches from opposite sides of the ball teaching each other.

“I don’t know that there's better coaching process that I’ve been part of, ever, in this league than “Across the Hall,” Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy said. “Every player in the room gets broken down by the other side, so it's a very honest, transparent this is how we are coming after you approach.”

“I think it just helps everybody to know that ok, going forward this is the way the defense is looking to attack us,” Packers cornerback Tramon Williams said. “This is the way the offense is looking to attack us to some degree. It's more of a self-scout thing which I think really helps because we go against them every day, and you never know what they're talking about in their meeting room.”

For most of the Packers’ rookies, this is a completely new coaching method, and it's opened their eyes to some flaws in their game.

“It was actually pretty surprising,” Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander said. “I thought I had it all figured out, but they informed me that I was wrong, so it definitely gave out some good information. I mean, I got to watch more film, that's ultimately what I got from it.”

“I think the most important thing was learning the logistics of offense, what they do, what they like to do against defensive backs, different releases, different stems, different alignments,” Packers cornerback Josh Jackson said. “I think the main thing is learning their perspective. I thought that was pretty cool to hear from guys, Davante (Adams), randall cobb, and G-Mo (Geronimo Allison).”
