What To Look For In 2019 Packer Pre-Season

OK, Packer Fans!  Let's jump right into what the Pre-Season will tell us.

Position Battles?

Offensive Line:
Known, LT - David Bakhtiari is am all-pro caliber player.  C - Corey Linsley a solid center.  The rest of the line, up for grabs - G - Lane Taylor, newcomer G - Billy Turner, RT - Brian Bulaga - these players have the inside track, but expect a push from Cole Madison, Jason Spriggs, Justin McCray, & Elgton Jenkins.  The talent on the offensive line MUST be improved!

Wide Receivers: Davante Adams, one of leagues best!  The loss of Jordy Nelson a few years ago & Randall Cobb last year is a dramatic change!  This needed to happen, but do we have players to do it?  As of now, NO!  After 3-4 weeks. MAYBE!  Here they are Geronimo Allison started last year & looked good, then injury.  Rookies Valdes-Scantling, St. Brown, Moore showed some ability.  Walk-on Kumerow looked good.  But, will two emerge, yes - are they good enough - Big Fat Maybe!

Running Backs - Aaron Jones & Jamaal Williams are good enough to make teams respect the run.  Will the NEW offense use the running back better?  I HOPE SO!  Not much depth!

Tight Ends: Would be great to have a stud.  What do we have?  An old stud - Jimmy Graham.  A possible new stud Jace Sternberger.  And, a couple for depth, headed by Robert Tonyan.

QB - Aaron Rodgers.  What can we say, one of the BEST.  But, older, getting injured more & NO depth behind him!

D-line - Could be very good.  Kenny Clark, ready for an all-pro year!  Mike Daniels, the leader, but getting older.  Dean Lowry, Tyler Lancaster, Kingsley Keke, Montravious Adams and others will make this line better & NEW EDGE RUSHERS!

Edge Rushers - Kyler Fackrell, Preston Smith, Za'Darius, Reggie Gilbert.  Should be better, but not great!  Still need that one ALL-PRO type!

Inside Linebackers - like fullback on offense a dying position.  More safeties are coming down in he box, because of the the 4-5 receiver sets!  Blake Martinez is our solid man, but not a BIG playmaker. Oren Burks should be better, beyond that, not much depth (sound familiar)

Defensive Backs - should eventually be our strength!  Jaire Alexander should be possible All-Pro, Kevin King must stay healthy! Ex-Bear, Adrain Amos is a BIG upgrade at safety & draft choice Darnell Savage could be the real deal.  Overall, this could be our best pass defense since Charles Woodson left the Packers!

A lot of ifs!  This is what pre-season is all about!

Go Pack Go!
