"I didn't see Jordan get rattled at all," Alexander told reporters. "I'm always talking to him, trying to get in his head, but I don't think it works." The banter is not mean-spirited, though it can sometimes sound that way, like when Alexander yelled at Love to "wake up" during open training earlier this summer. Instead, it's an attempt from the Pro Bowl defensive back to make the quarterback unflappable before his first season as the Packers starter. Love has shown himself to be patient with the chirping, which his team is pleased to see before he ventures into perhaps the most hostile Week 1 environment imaginable: a road tilt against the rival Chicago Bears. Opposing fans will inundate Love with nasty jeers during that game. It's hard to imagine Alexander treating Aaron Rodgers similarly at practice. Veteran quarterbacks often sit atop the locker room leadership hierarchy and can be sensitive to perceived disrespect. But Love doesn't pretend to possess the unquestioned authority of his predecessor. He must earn it this year. "I don't try to do too much," said Love during OTAs. "It's going to take time to grow into that role. I just keep trying to take it day by day. Be a voice that guys come to me and ask questions. I'm still young as well, so I ask all the vets questions all the time." For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to The Mirror US. Love texted teammates between OTAs and training camp to set up spontaneous throw-and-catch sessions. After sitting behind Rodgers for three years, he wanted to build chemistry with the receiving corps. Not only determ){kind=link}
