GREEN BAY \u2013 As Romeo Doubs streaked open down the left sideline Tuesday, the Green Bay Packers’ rookie receiver had another highlight in his hands.<\/p>\n
Doubs smoked New Orleans Saints cornerback Bradley Roby in the teams’ first of two joint practices in consecutive days, and Rodgers delivered. His high-arching pass, the best ball Rodgers said he threw all practice, nestled in Doubs ‘hands. Its descent did n’t stop there.<\/p>\n
Some 40 yards downfield, Doubs was unable to hold onto the football, dropping what would have been one of the best plays of the day.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe young guys, especially the young receivers,\u201d Rodgers said, \u201cwe’ve got to be way more consistent. A lot of drops, a lot of bad route decisions, running the wrong route. So we’ve got to get better in that area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
Rodgers emphasized after the two-hour, 25-minute practice it’s time for his young receivers to become more consistent. The quarterback said his comments were \u201cnot necessarily\u201d targeted at Doubs ‘drop, though the fourth-round pick had a handful of bad drops in last week’s preseason opener at San Francisco. The quarterback also mentioned second-year receiver Amari Rodgers running the wrong route on backup quarterback Jordan Love’s third interception against the 49ers.<\/p>\n
As a whole, Rodgers outlined an emerging pecking order on the receiver depth chart \u2013 at least in his mind. Behind top receiver Allen Lazard, the four-time MVP said veterans Randall Cobb and Sammy Watkins have been reliable.<\/p>\n
