Since a lot of us are excited about football coming back, let’s use this as a general thread to talk about the football team coming off last night’s preseason opener. How are you feeling about the team? Better? Worse? Not much change? Let us know in the comments section.
Here are a couple of posts where I laid out my recent thoughts on the team:
I generally thought the Packers’ first- through third-team units played fine in the game , but the fourth-string defense, in particular, looked poor. But, hey, kicker Trey Smack had a hell of a night.
I made a couple of adjustments to my 53-man roster projection, with the team keeping seven receivers and just nine defensive backs . I also have defensive lineman Jonathan Ford in over Nazir Stackhouse and offensive lineman Travis Glover not making the cut for OL10.
Defensive lineman Anthony Campbell and offensive lineman Darian Kinnard did not suffer long-term injuries against the Steelers , but projected starting left guard Aaron Banks may not be returning to a starting role. Head coach Matt LaFleur was coy when asked whether Banks had surgery to his knee.
Here’s a bunch of clips/screenshots from the game that I found interesting when I rewatched the broadcast copy.
