Evening wrap-up
Some more from the night practice, which lasted 2 hours, 25 minutes ...
* It was the red-zone install, and coach Mike McCarthy said he was impressed with the offense's performance in the first- and second-down portions. The blitz drill was where it got sloppy.
* TE Donald Lee had the catch of practice, a one-handed stab at the right sideline. TE Tory Humphrey was a close second with a spinning grab in the back of the end zone with LB Desmond Bishop all over him during 7-on-7.
* FB Corey White had a bad gaffe during team when he tried to one-hand a screen pass in the flat for no apparent reason. Former Pro Bowl receiver Cris Carter had a field day with that as he watched from the sidelines.
* GM Ted Thompson spent a couple of extended periods speaking with Russ Ball, the Packers' negotiator, on the sideline.
* TE Jermichael Finley had a rough practice, ending with a false start on the final play.
* And your passing stats in team periods: Aaron Rodgers 15-for-20, INT; Brian Brohm 9-for-15; Matt Flynn 3-for-8; Brandon Jackson 0-for-1.
No practice on Thursday, but I'm sure there will be some updates here. Good night, folks.

I like seeing that Jackson had a pass attempt. Ahman Green a few passes a year in his days here and I think when used in the right situation the halfback option can be extremely effective. I hope MM gets that into the real games this year. That and the surprise onside kick
