Another ‘perfect pass’ from Jordan Love creates big play at Packers practice

On Saturday, it was a “perfect ball” to Samori Toure. On Monday, it was a “perfect pass” to Christian Watson.

On Saturday, it was Samori Toure hauling in a “perfect ball” from Jordan Love to spark a two-minute drill at the Green Bay Packers’ fourth training camp practice.

Two days later, Love picked up right where he left off, throwing another “perfect pass” to Christian Watson for a 67-yard touchdown during a team period on Monday.

Love tossed a perfectly lofted deep ball, allowing Watson to run under the throw, make the catch in stride and race for the would-be score against the coverage of Innis Gaines.

“We got the man look we wanted so we canned away from the other play and we went to the man-beater. I gave him a release off the line and used my speed to run away,” Watson told Bill Huber of Packer Central. “It was a perfect ball – right on the outside shoulder, right on the red line. I couldn’t have asked for a better ball. It was right in the stride. It was perfect.”

Later, in the two-minute drill, Love improvised and nearly created another big play. He scrambled right against pressure and threw another terrific ball down the sideline to Jayden Reed, but the rookie couldn’t make the adjustment and haul in the pass, ending the sequence.

Love is creating splash plays to open training camp. Consistency is a work in progress. Can the first-year starting quarterback put it all together with a young group of receivers in time for Week 1? That’s the big question in Green Bay this summer.
