Arizona Cardinals-Green Bay Packers joint practice is a family affair
The Cardinals and Packers had some fun talking about the upcoming joint practice.
The Arizona Cardinals-Green Bay Packers conducted a joint practice on Wednesday, a unique occurrence in NFL training camps. Only the Broncos, Lions, Chiefs, and Steelers abstained from the practice, while the Jaguars, Saints, and Titans participated in three. The other 12 teams held joint practices twice. The brothers Mike and Matt LaFleur, head coaches of the Cardinals and Packers respectively, and former Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon, now the Packers' defensive coordinator, made the practice extra special.
The coaches maintained a healthy rapport, with Matt LaFleur joking about his brother's critical nature, saying, "I was like, ‘All right, Mike, you’ve got all the answers.’ Nah, it’s been healthy, it’s been good." Cardinals nose tackle Roy Lopez expressed admiration for the brothers, saying, "It’s so cool to see, hats off and respect to them individually as brothers, as a family, as a whole."
The practice was a fun and competitive affair for the players, who looked forward to testing their skills against the Gannon-led defense.
