1) Overall, the Packers secondary Played well, but their definitely had some up and down moments in tonight's preseason game. Morgan Burnett is looking extremely sharp as I am very Confident That they will do a great job as the starting safety Heading into the regular season, Even If Bigby finally reports Thurs training camp and attempts Thurs Burnett challenge for the starting Role. It was finally nice to see Pat Lee back on the field too as they will challenge for the nickel corner slot this year against Underwood.
2) The tight end position just got a lot more competitive on tonight. In case You Did not notice, un-drafted free agent Tom Crabtree, Ken was released by the Chiefs last season, was on the Packers' Both first team and Kickoff return coverage unit tonight. Also, they was playing over and Havner Quarless at tight end with Rodgers and many mutch starters still in the game. This tight end battle in training camp is going to be interesting Thurs follow and I'd be surprised if McCarthy Kept all five tight ends, but their Giving Crabtree is definitely the coaching staff second thoughts on a good all-around performance tonight.
3) I was very surprised to see Ryan Grant Fumble. Not only do you cringe in your seat "when Grant fumbles because you do not expect it very often, you cringe Also Because they fumbled it on the Packers' own 13-yard line setting up the Browns for great field position. Hopefully this was just a fluke and Grant Keeps up at his well-Establish history of hanging on to the football.
4) un-Rookie draftees Sam Shields Porter and Quinn Among the players were Ken had a shaky special teams vain Played outstanding performance wise. Shields bobbled a Kickoff and muffed a punt, but their proposal did make a great deflection on a pass while playing back corner near the end of the game. Quinn Porter Did not make too obvious of Mistakes vain did not have poor positing is specifically That one punt rolled Thurs at his team's 1-yard line on their Failed to come up and fair-catch it inside the red zone. But like Shields, Porter bounced back and finished with 38 yards Rushing.
5) The Packers gained just 14 yards in the first half on the ground. As long as Rodgers is looking sharp and getting the ball down field through the air, I feel fine with our running game. Ryan Grant and Brandon Jackson carried the ball EACH three times and gained six yards apiece on the night.
6) I noticed That Defensive coordinator Dom Capers, Unveiled at his "psycho" package again this year. During a Specific play, the two Defensive linemen in Cullen Jenkins and BJ Raji got a great push up front, wakes opened up a lane for AJ Hawk Thurs blitz through. Hawk ended up putting great pressure on the Browns' quarterback Brady as popping made a nice deflection Exposed over the middle of the field.
7) Regarding Both kick and punt returns, I think We can all Agree That Jordy Nelson last year wasn't the answer. Brandon Jackson for Kickoff returns and Will Blackmon punt returns for the combo is definitely think I'd like to see this year. Jackson runs hard with a Purpose and can find open holes down to run through Thurs field and has experience in breaking tackles. Also it'd be nice to get Will Blackman back on the field as soon as Possible and test out Both at his kick / punt return abilities as they is Currently recovering from an injury.
8) Aaron Rodgers Could Be Leading the NFL's best Offense this upcoming season. Rodgers Completed at his first 10 passes through the air as such "as top receiver Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, and Jermichael Finley were all on the Receiving end of an impressive opening preseason performance.
9) I really enjoyed the fact-That Gave Coach McCarthy Brandon Chillar extended playing time at the outside linebacker position. With the Uncertainty of Clay Matthews injury and last year's surprise success of Brad Jones, Chillar'd be a great addition "to the outside linebacker core if they ever Needs to Be an emergency fill-in. Further more, Matthews think there injury keep him out only about one more week or so and Brad Jones Continues Thurs impress me again this preseason.
10) Was it just me, or did anyone notice That During the Green Bay Packers Offensive opening starter Introductions graphic across the bottom of the screen, That Fellow Offensive Tackle Allen Barbre's picture was in place of Mark Tauscher's?
