Does anybody know if this game will be available to watch anywhere other than "on local broadcast TV in Wisconsin" (since I don't live there) or "the NFL Network" (since I don't get it)? I have NFL fieldpass, but it's nice to actually watch the games, particularly the preseason games.
McCarthy says that the following guys will almost certainly be out: WR Brett Swain (quad contusion), RB Ryan Grant (hamstring), S Charlie Peprah (hamstring), LB A.J. Hawk (chest), LB Desmond Bishop (Achilles), OT Orrin Thompson (ankle), DT Ryan Pickett (hamstring), TE Tory Humphrey (Achilles), WR Greg Jennings (knee), DT Justin Harrell (back) and DE Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (knee).
Ruvell Martin will likely be a game-time decision.
What I'm looking for: If Josh Sitton wants to start, he's going to need to play better than he did against the Bengals. I want to see the backup DTs step up. The #3 RB battle, I'd like to see more of Lumpkin, Morencey, and Wynn (not Herron since he's pretty much a known commodity). Bishop v. Hodge for the backup MLB spot, Hodge made quite the statement with Bishop out in the last preseason game, let's see how Bishop answers. I'd also like to see Jordy get the ball more, but that might require Brohm to behave as though he has some earthly idea how to play QB; maybe Flynn can get him the ball.
Anyway, go Packers. Let's hope Aaron makes the 49ers wish they had made a different pick #1 overall in 2005.
