Second Packer Pre Season Game, What is Expected?

What is expected out of pre-season football?  As a retired high school coach, the goal was simple, get the kids ready for the first game.  What does that include?

1 - Who are the starters?

2 - Special Team Players?

3 - Depth - next man up?

4 - Offense and Defense Installations

5 - Developing a Game Plan

6 - Team

At the NFL level, all the players should come in in great physical shape!  Let's assume that is true.  Now who are the starters?  It looks like some of the positions are set.  Who are my starters?

Offense
WR - Nelson
WR - Jones
WR- Cobb
TE - Finley
T - Bakhtiari
T - Barclay
G - Lang
G - Sitton
C - Dietrich-Smith
FB - Kuhn
RB - Lacy
QB - Rogers

The competition at tackle will be interesting & VERY important.  The starting running back is critical, for the Packers to make the next step, we need a 1000 yard rusher.  I think Kuhn has one more year before he becomes to expensive for a fullback!  At tight end Finley MUST take the next step!

Depth is getting there - Running back - Franklin, Harris, & Starks!  Offensive Line - Newhouse, Van Roten, & others?   Quarterback - scary!

Next Defense!
