In the video, check out some 11-on-11 action between the Green Bay Packers' offense and Houston Texans' defense from Tuesday's joint practice.

It was not a good day for the offense, which struggled in particular in the red zone and a series of two-minute drills. The only touchdowns by Green Bay in the red zone came on back-to-back passes from DeShone Kizer to Jake Kumerow and Evan Baylis.

Afterward, coach Matt LaFleur was not pleased with his offense.

“You’re going to have some good days, some bad days,” he said. “The only thing I want to stress to our guys is, it doesn’t take talent to give effort and to have a sense of urgency, and we’ve got to do a better job of that. And it starts with the coaching, too.”

From one perspective, the Packers have plenty of time. The season doesn't begin until Sept. 5 - almost a month away. From another perspective, 11 practices are done and only nine remain.

“I think it’s going to be a work in process," he said. "I just want to make sure that we operate, in and out of the huddle, with urgency, with pace, to try and put some pressure on a defense. And I think once we get our no-huddle installed, I think we’ll be able to control that a little better, too, in terms of, hey, if we’re not moving at that pace that we’d like, then you can jump into no huddle."
