Getting Ready for Second Pre-Season Game - Packers vs Rams

Here we go, week two of summer camp is behind us and the second pre-season game is here for evaluation!  What should we look for?

1 - Word is - We have a battle for back-up QB!  Hopefully Aaron will play a couple series & we ca see were he is at as far as timing & game situation.  But, many people feel that Flynn is ahead of Tolzien by a NARROW margin!  And, will the Packers keep 3 QB's on the final 53 man roster?

2 - Tight End - can Quarless hold off Bostick & Rogers?

3 - Battle of the young wide receivers - WOW!  This will be tough!  Do we keep 5 or 6?  Right now I have Nelson, Cobb, Boykin, & Adams!  Really think it is wide open & anyone cut will get picked up by another team in need of receivers!

4 - Defensive Tackle - Worthy experiment is finished, he is off to New England!  I like the young group of Daniels, Jones, & Boyd!  Raji seems to be back to his year 1 & 2 form.  What other players will step up?  Thorton, a draft pick this year or Guion, picked up from the Vikings?

5 - Safety - all of a sudden we have depth - Burnett, Hyde, Clinton-Dix, Richardson, & Banjo!  Now, do we have game changers?? Time will tell!!

Come on Rams!  Give up a challenge that makes some players stand out!  Here is my list of players that have a grip on the 53 man roster - some are obvious!!

QB - Rogers, Flynn, & Tolzien
FB - Kuhn
RB - Lacy, Starks, & Harris
TE - Quarless, Bostick, Rogers
WR - Nelson, Cobb, Boykin, & Adams
OL - Bulaga, Bakhtari, Lang, Sitton, Tretter, & Sherrod
Thats 20 on the offensive side

3 special teams - Goode (LS), Mathstay, & Crosby (K)

S - Burnett, Hyde, Clinton-Dix, Richardson, & Banjo
CB - Williams, Shields, Hayward, House
OLB - Matthews, Peppers, Perry, & Neal
ILB - Hawk, Jones, & Lattimore
DT - Daniels, Raji, Jones, & Boyd
Thats 20 on defense.

So, to my eyes, 43 are on the team & that leaves 10 roster spots!  Time will tell!

Here are some great Packer websites pics from this week!
