Dales: Jordan Love emphasizing pocket movement and footwork in '24 offseason 'The Insiders'

How about some dance moves from the quad father himself? That's AJ Dillon out there at the mandatory mini camp today. He's got a couple of new running mates, Josh Jacobs and third round pick Marshawn Lloyd. A very interesting young team in Green Bay that finished last season very much on the rise. I still got the same running mates that I do so often right here on the show. Tom Pilisaro back with Bucky Brooks to welcome in our friend Stacy Dales as well. Stacy, you talk to a lot of people in Green Bay. We know the Arrow was definitely pointing up on Jordan Love at the end of last season. It's going to show in the contract that he has said he expects to get before training camp. From what you're hearing, second full year as the starter in this offseason. How is Love? How's that offense coming along? Yeah, I would tell you guys, I think the word that I'm taking away from this offseason is maturity with Jordan Love. You know, this is a very young team and both sides of the football really. And Jordan Love, we forgot he's really entering his fifth year, which is why he'll get that extension, we think, here before training camp, Tom, as you alluded to. But I, you know, he has been extremely diligent based upon what I've learned in Green Bay with his preparation heading into his second year as starter, despite really being the veteran of this offense. I would also say he's been very intentional in terms of what he wants to improve upon, honing in on where he wants to go with the football to this bevy of receivers, this bevy of young receivers on the outside. And specifically focusing on his pocket movement, really condensing that pocket movement in terms of his footwork becoming more efficient. But when he does make the decision to break pocket and yes, there's really no pads obviously at this stage to be very intentional with how he breaks the pocket specifically to the right. And you know, recently when we heard him talk this week, getting his shoulders and his body downhill and not drifting. That's why Bucky, I use the word intentional. And there's obviously there's a lot of talk about who's going to be the number one receiver. It's been a big point of argumentation, if you will. Perhaps amongst those that follow these Packers, I would say Bucky, any one of these guys could be the number one and have an emergent season with Jordan Love in this offense. I think they can be extremely explosive in Green Bay. I'm with you, Stacy. This offense can be very explosive. And I got to say it going back to my time with the Packers in the mid 90s, this has always been an organization that believe that you don't necessarily need a number one receiver, that the offense is really predicated on an A level quarterback playing on a system that can elevate the playmakers around him. When when I look at this version of the Packers, Jordan Love certainly is an A level quarterback. He has weapons around him that within this system, they can't thrive and flourish as Co #1 or interchangeable number ones, however you want to dub them. But this is all about Jordan Love, his steady improvement as a quarterback since entering the league. The Packers are ready to go to the next level. And a big reason is because Jordan Love is the real deal. And as he grows comfortable and as he begins to kind of put his own imprint on this offense, I think you can see the the other playmakers around him rise to that level. And he is going to be someone that we celebrate because the playmakers certainly have the talent to get it done. And it's one of the things that the Packers have done for the last 30 years, which is why they have always been a relevant team when it comes to being a title contender.
