What Did We Learn In The Packers - Patriots Game?

I know, pre-season football is NOT easy to watch!  BUT, we need it!  The players NEED it!  The coaches NEED it!  And, the WORLD needs it!  (I know I'm getting goofy, but football is the best!)

So,  in not particular order:

1 - Montgomery was a great draft choice!  Return game help?  We will see, but just catching punts is worth something!  And, kickoffs & punt return both is a plus!  And, he will be another weapon for Aaron!   Which brings up my second point!

2 - The battle at wide receivers making the 53-man roster!  OK, we have Nelson, Cobb, & Adams,  but first, do we keep 5 or 6 receivers?  And second, who  Montgomery looks now like a lock.  Thats four!  Then, Janis, White, & Abbrederis.  Abraders looks like he is in trouble, unless he can get back to practice & show something!  Then Janis & White?  Janis has some physical tools & White is the kind of kid you root for to be on your team!

3 - Red Zone Offense - pre-season or regular season, it drives people crazy, to drive down the field & NOT score STOP IT!

4 - First offense? Look good, except, well you know.  It was VERY "vanilla".  Lacy ran hard!  Line blocked pretty good.  And Rodgers looked like Rodgers.  And he played!  I think he MUST play some in pre-season, WE NEED TO START FAST!

5 - Defense?  Need depth at D-line!  We all know we will be short handed early.  Need to tackle!  Overall tackling was good, but I can still see Clinton-Dix missing that tackle on the long TD run!  The d-backs go to the ball!  That is GOOD!  How good will we be?  I think pretty good, but NOT dominate!  Still need Datone Jones, Mike Neal, Nick Perry to get FIRED UP!  And Matthews to stay healthy!

6 - Special teams?  So far so good! Some of the young guys need to STEP up!

So, I guess, NO big injuries.  Play was pretty good.  And, a few pieces are filling in the puzzle!
