Packers vs Jets, Preseason Game #2

 OK, first observations after preseason game #2?

1 -   Kurt Benkert - we have Aaron Rodgers & Jordan Love, AND WE HAVE.......


Kurt Benkert!  With our #1 Draft Pick Jordan Love with a sore shoulder & are MVP, Jeopardy Host, Hollywood Starlet Dating, Future Hall of Fame, Wanna Be GM laughing & joking on the sideline, we have this 26 year old, trying to hang on to an NFL career!  Sometimes theses guys are refreshing!  He played most of the game & did OK.  Made some mistakes, had some offline throws, but, loved his effort!  Hope he makes the practice squad!

2 - Running Back #3.  This will be difficult! I like all three - Williams, Taylor, & Hill!  Looks like Hill has the inside track, but all three are making the decision difficult, which is great to see!  I predict Hill, but Taylor & Williams will either be on the practice squad or will be picked up by another team!

3 - Our #1 draft pick, Erik Stokes.  Did not play a lot, but looked OK.  Should battle Kevin King(our CB that always gets BEAT, for the starting job opposite our All-Pro hire Alexander!

4 - Offensive Guard - this is still not a sure this, we have 4 battling for 1 or 2 guard spots, depending when our all pro Bakhtiari comes back - one more week for Patrick, Braden, Runyan, & Newman. (I like Newman)

5 - Others players to watch?  TE - Jace Sternberger  WR - Devin Funchess   NT - TJ Slaton   

ILB - Oren Burks   DE - Kingsley Keke  CB - Kabion Ento   And sleeper - S - Christian Uphoff

One more week to go.  Who will make the 53 man roster & who will make the Practice Squad???

Go Pack Go!!
