“I think you always restart. You hit the reset button every time,” LaFleur said. “It just gives them another opportunity. You can’t hear the information enough because when something is new, you can’t possibly expect everybody to get every single detail. So you’ve got to review it over and over and over. And I think every time you hear it as a player, coach, whatever, there’s a new detail that you can retain and really think about.”


Training camp will feature two joint practices with the Houston Texans leading up to their preseason meeting at Lambeau Field on Aug. 8. Having been involved in joint practices with other teams before, LaFleur said the “competitive spirit” of those workouts will be different from the rest of camp.


They’ll add another element to the evaluation of players as well, providing practice film against opposing players rather than just teammates.


“It’ll be a good change of scenery, a different style, both offensively and defensively,” LaFleur said. “It just creates some new challenges, and that’s what it is week in and week out in the NFL.”


The first few days of training camp will look like OTAs and minicamp with only shorts and helmets, per CBA rules, before the players dress in full pads. The teaching and learning environment of the spring carries over to camp as well, but with an uptick in pace and intensity.
