GREEN BAY, Wis. Jozy Altidore Jersey . - Building a successful working relationship between a quarterback and receiver requires a lot of time and communication.After seven years together, there are few better combinations in the NFL than the Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson.A quarterback renowned for accuracy throwing to the leagues leading receiver, and theyll try to keep the Packers passing game rolling against the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night at Lambeau Field.The best players are often the smartest players and the ones that have the distinct attention to detail, and Jordy has such great second and third reactions, Rodgers said.But he also, really, from his second year on, really wanted to get on the same page with me and cared about how I was seeing the game, and has really gotten in my hip pocket since then.Early on, Rodgers did most of the talking. Nelson listened. Then the receiver started earning trust by making plays. Offensive co-ordinator Tom Clements said Nelson runs textbook routes.Now its a two-way conversation between Rodgers and Nelson.The longer youre here, the more experience you have with (Rodgers), you get a slight a€” a slight a€” privilege to say some stuff, Nelson said with a laugh.He leads the league with 33 catches for 459 yards. Nelson has an uncanny knack of catches on the sideline as if hes walking a tightrope. Nelson makes the most difficult moves look easy, such as midair adjustments to make tough catches with defenders draped on him.I dont think I walked into here after Year 4 or something and said, All right, now Im going to tell you how I feel about things, Nelson said. I think its just a feel-out process and just . Im sure one day he just asked a question and it built off of there.Vikings receiver Greg Jennings is familiar with how things work in Green Bay. He played for the Packers until 2012, and had 80 catches for 1,292 yards and nine scores in 2008, Nelsons first year in the league.After Nelson had nine catches for 209 yards against the Jets in Week 2, Jennings sent a congratulatory text.I had to shoot him a way to ball out text, Jennings said. But, yeah, its no surprise to me at all.Some things to watch in the teams first meeting since the 26-all tie last November at Lambeau Field:JUST JENNINGS: The Minnesota wideout tried to make amends last year for pointed comments questioning Rodgers and his leadership. Asked this week to reflect on the comments, Jennings sounded more conciliatory.Those were some things that I wish I had not said or done. But again, life is about adapting and showing resolve, Jennings said.Still, Jennings cant expect a warm welcome back in Titletown. When asked, Jennings added he did not miss Green Bay, but for reasons that didnt have to do with football.I would have loved to have finished my career out in Green Bay, but from where I am spiritually and where I am with my family and the growth that weve had because of what we have around us educationally a€” and there was some great educational systems there, as well a€” but this is a step up for us, Jennings said.BRIDGEWATER: The Vikings quarterback had an impressive debut in his first career start with 317 yards passing in a 41-28 win last week over Atlanta. But he sprained his left ankle in the game and his status is uncertain. Christian Ponder would start if Bridgewater cant go.ZIMMERS D: The last time Mike Zimmer coached against Green Bay, he was the defensive co-ordinator for the Bengals in a 34-30 win last year in Cincinnati. Rodgers said the Vikings defence is running some similar schemes.You know a key is to stay out of third-and-extra-longs because thats when his scheme and his defence really thrive, Rodgers said.SMOOTH RHODES: Its a good thing for the Vikings that cornerback Xavier Rhodes is coming off the best game of his two-year career: five tackles and four pass breakups against Atlantas potent offence. But Zimmer would rather not have to get into another high-scoring affair.I hope not. I dont really like those shootouts, Zimmer said.ON THE RUN: While the Packers passing game is clicking, the running attack needs work. Eddie Lacy, the 2013 Offensive Rookie of the Year, is off to a slow start, and Green Bay is just 28th in the league on the ground.Green Bay is even worse against the run, ranking last. Minnesota rookie Jerick McKinnon ran for 135 yards on 18 carries last week against the Falcons, while Matt Asiata had three rushing touchdowns.___Online:AP NFL websites: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL__Follow Genaro Armas at http://twitter.com/GArmasAP Bill Hamid Jersey . JOHNS, N. Matt Miazga Jersey . Hes the same player he always was, only now his efforts are being rewarded. The rookie manager has made a habit of heaping praise on others when things are going well, and accepting criticism when they arent. But in the case of Hurtado, its what the coach is NOT saying that may be the secret to a superb run of form. http://www.usasoccerauthority.com/clint-dempsey-usa-jersey/ .Y. -- The Buffalo Bills have fired receivers coach Ike Hilliard.BASEL, Switzerland - After Rafael Nadal reached the Swiss Open quarterfinals in 57 minutes with a 6-1, 6-1 win against Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert, top-seeded Roger Federer crushed Gilles Muller of Luxembourg 6-2, 6-1 in just 46 minutes to reach the second round on Wednesday.The second-seeded Nadal, playing just his third tournament since Wimbledon due to a wrist injury, broke the qualifiers serve five times.The Spaniard, who struggled with appendicitis earlier this month in Shanghai, was never troubled by the 120th-ranked Herbert, who double-faulted 11 times.Playing at the tournament for the first time in 10 years, Nadal did save two break points, including when he was serving for the match.He next plays either Andrey Golubev of Kazakhstan or 17-year-old Croatian wild card entry Borna Coric on Wednesday. Both won their first-round matches.It was even easier for Federer, who broke Muller in the sixth game and wrapped up the first set in 25 minutes, winning 91 per cent of his first-serve points.The second set was even quicker as Federer — who has won the tournament five times — totally dominated Muller, who failed to win a single point on Federers serve, as the 17-time Grand Sllam champions ninth ace took him to match point. DeAndre Yedlin Jersey. Federer, who improved to 5-0 against Muller in career head-to-heads, next plays Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan and leads him 5-0 too.Belgiums David Goffin is also through to the quarters after beating Croatias Ivan Dodig 7-6 (0), 6-4. He next plays either fourth-seeded Milos Raonic of Canada or Donald Young of the United States.Coric, ranked 124th, caused a big upset when he beat sixth-seeded Ernests Gulbis of Latvia 7-6 (2), 6-3.Although the 13th-ranked Gulbis, this years French Open semifinalist, had nine aces, he constantly felt the pressure of Corics excellent return. He faced 14 break points in the match, dropping his serve three times.Fifth-seeded Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria survived a first-round scare against 17-year-old Alexander Zverev, before beating the German wild card entry 2-6. 6-4, 6-2 in a hard-fought match featuring seven breaks of serve.He next faces Canadian Vasek Pospisil.Earlier, Golubev won 6-3, 6-3 against Teymuraz Gabashvili of Russia.Meanwhile, Istomin had 14 aces in a 6-1, 6-1 rout of Polands Jerzy Janowicz, a renowned server who managed only two aces and lost his serve five times.
