Now Palou is on a similar dominating pace and with 11 races remaining in the IndyCar season, he takes a 115-point lead over Pato O’Ward in the championship standings to this weekend’s race in Detroit.
LaFleur said he liked what he’s seen from Love this offseason and how he’s handling a myriad of new challenges. Those challenges include transitioning from having 71-year-oldas his position coach to having 33-year-old Sean Mannion in that role, trying to keep all his wide receivers happy when there are only so many passes to go around and rising to LaFleur’s publicly stated challenge that Love needs to be more of a vocal leader in his sixth NFL season.
“He’s already doing that,” veteran running back Josh Jacobs said of Love’s altered leadership approach. “He definitely has been more vocal, whether it’s at practice or even in the meetings. If he sees something he doesn’t like, he’s speaking up. … I’ve definitely seen a big change in him.”NOTES: Jayden Reed, the Packers’ leading receiver the past two seasons, insisted he’s not worried about his role in the offense, despite a report that his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, contacted the team looking for clarity about his client’s role. “A lot of people misinterpreted that,” Reed said. … LaFleur said wide receiver Christian Watson, recovering from ain his right knee suffered in the Jan. 5 regular-season finale, is “doing outstanding. I would say he’s ahead of schedule, but I’m not a doctor.” … LaFleur confirmed that the team will have two joint practices this summer, one at Indianapolis and another at home against the Seattle Seahawks. ... The Packers will begin training camp July 23.
