First Pre-Season Game, Did We Learn Anything?

First, I did not see the total game.  I did watch highlights & watched all interviews, so what do I see?

The final 53 usually means 40-45 are guaranteed and about 50 players are fighting for 10115 spots on the roster and then the Packers try to sneak 10 players on the practice squad!

So, let us start at wide receiver.  Packers will probably keep 5-6 on the 53 man roster.  We have Cobb and Adams.  Geronimo look like he is a leg up on the others!  Kumerow had been the camp darling and looked OK in the highlights.  The player that had a good night was Valdes-Scantling. 5 receptions, 101 yards and 1 TD!  Nice night.  On highlights, he had good seperation, is learning to do that little push off(HA HA) and looks like he physically belongs!  So, Valdes-Scantling helped himself!

Back up QB battle looked fairly even!

Hundley - 9 for 14 & 108 yds - 1 TD
Kizer - 9 for 18 & 134 yds - 0 TD

Again, after last season, my vote is Kizer!

Offensive line did all right, without Bulaga & Bakhtiari.

Running game so - so!  Williams had a nice pass reception at the goal line for a TD.  Aaron Jones did not play(Hamstring).  Montgomery played a little 3 rushes 9 yards.

Tight Ends, no where to be seen!

Defense?  The first drive was a Titan drive for a TD!  Lot of people did not play - Daniels, Wilkerson, King, Alexander, Perry, Matthews, etc.  So, we still do not really know what we have! A lot of new faces running around.  So, the jury is still out & may be out till September 9 against the Bears!

But, one rumor flying around?  Click on this article - Packers Favorite to Land Kahlil Mack!!

Kahlil Mack - pass rush - a difference maker on defense!!  I am all in!  What would I give up?
Nick Perry & a #1 draft pick!!  GO FOR IT!!!!

Next up, Steelers come to town!  This will be a good test!  And, don't forget, each team we play we get a chance to look at their players & if they are cut, we have the chance to pick them up!
