NFC Notes: Matthew Stafford, Packers, Rams, Seahawks

Packers

Packers WR coach Jason Vrable believes the team’s wide receiver corps is about to turn a corner.

“I really believe that on offense, we are taking the right trajectory at practice,” Vrable said, via Packers Wire. “If you’re there and you’re watching the whole thing, I feel like the last two weeks were the best practices we’ve had in our room since I’ve ever been in this building. From the speed. The confidence and the results, I think they’re going to start coming.”

Vrable added that there’s been more attention to detail which will allow QB Jordan Love to be more confident in where his receivers are at.

“The results haven’t been there,” Vrable added. “And there was a time when we had a little bit of a lull. I think the lights at times were all over the place with stuff. But the last two weeks have been clean practices. The guys are on their details and guys at the right spot at the right time for Jordan because I don’t want him to look out there thinking a guy has to be there at 10 yards and he’s at 12 or he’s at 14. We can’t be having that stuff, and it’s happened at times, and that may not make Jordan as confident.”
