To help Packers' offense, there are two mantras to follow

And never take anything for granted pre-snap or post-snap with Rodgers.


"Always expect the ball no matter what," Tonyan said. "Always expecting the ball is your best bet."


The offense's complementary pieces haven't been flawless through two games.


Valdes-Scantling had two costly drops in Minnesota in between two explosive plays. Tonyan confessed he should have caught the first pass thrown his way Sunday, a seam route Detroit defensive back Tracy Walker managed to disrupt with his back turned.


LaFleur said the coaches tallied six dropped passes total against the Lions, admitting they're harsh graders but not apologizing for holding the players to a high standard.


So there's plenty to clean up, but cashing in on opportunities, whenever they arise, will always go a long way.


"As I talked to Aaron afterward, I just told him thanks for trusting me and coming back to me," Tonyan said. "That's big. We did have a couple drops early, but when Aaron comes back to those guys, that does show a lot of trust and what he stands for in this locker room."
