While the third appeared to be a forced throw to an unopen Amari Rodgers over the middle that Womack picked off, LaFleur did not say whether Rodgers was one of the receivers who ran the wrong route. Had Love placed the ball farther to the outside, Womack might not have been able to pull it away from Doubs. On the second one, Doubs allowed cornerback Samuel Womack to wrestle the ball away from him near the sideline. Love threw it quickly and into double coverage, but Davis simply dropped it and linebacker Marcelino McCrary-Ball plucked it out of midair. On the first one, tight end Tyler Davis let a pass bounce off his hands. Here's why LaFleur didn't put the interceptions all on Love: Love's two touchdown passes were both 33-yarders - one in the first quarter to rookie receiver Romeo Doubs, who has been one of the stars of Packers training camp, and the other a well-placed back-shoulder throw to rookie receiver Danny Davis in the second quarter. Love, the third-year backup to Aaron Rodgers, finished the first half 13-of-24 for 176 yards with two touchdown passes to go along with his three picks. But I was pleased with Jordan's performance." We say it all the time about quarterbacks, they're going to get too much credit when we do well and they're going to get a lot of the blame when we don't, and that's just the reality of playing that position in this league. "We've just got to clean up everything around him. "The third one, again, we had two busted routes because the ball really shouldn't have gone there on that play, but he had nowhere else to go with the football, and he forced it in there and the defender made a good play. "I think two of those you can totally take off him," LaFleur said.
He largely absolved his backup quarterback of responsibility for the turnovers in Friday's preseason opener, a 28-21 loss at the San Francisco 49ers. LaFleur isn't going to let Love's three-interception performance in the preseason opener change that. Two weeks into training camp, Jordan Love was a more accurate, more effective quarterback who has drawn praise from Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur. Green Bay Packers backup Jordan Love throws 3 INTs in loss to San Francisco 49ers, but coach Matt LaFleur 'pleased' with performance
