Rookie Braelon Allen looked every bit like a physical 235-pound running back as he stiff-armed one would-be tackler and knocked down another for a big gain. But he flashed some speed, too, when he broke up the middle for a big gain. He could be the perfect runner to spell three-down starter Breece Hall.
The bad
The offensive line had plenty of trouble blocking for both Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor on the first day in full pads. Rodgers was “sacked” on back-to-back snaps during one possession and later one more time in the red zone during a stalled move-the-ball drill. A defense-dominated practice fittingly ended with Tanzel Smart “sacking” Tyrod Taylor.
