Official Packers Vs. Browns Game Day Thread

Yeah, me too. I really wanted to see Lee turn that corner...he.............he.....ah, who cares.

Did House play today? I don't remember seeing him out there.

[gbgary]

oh well.

[Teamcheez1]

Not much to take out of this game. Nothing really surprising......Without Woodson and Shields are secondary looks like crap. Lee and Bush both looked lost still. That was the most disappointing part of this game for me.

We read all of the press about how much Bush has improved this year. I don't buy it. He looks about the same to me, an average corner whose main contributions will be on special teams.

that sucked...harrell sacked and loses the football again.

No, he did not.

[Harlan Huckleby]

House didn't play.

I didn't watch the 2nd half so closely, but I followed Sherrod like a nervous parent, and he played great. pbmax detected a flub, I see in thread, but I didn't catch it.

What happened to Newhouse!? Several breakdowns.

Quinn Johnson stinks. Cut him and keep another tight end.

Our two running backs look excellent.

Will be painful to see Matt Flynn leave G.B. They grow up so quickly, then they are gone (sniffle)

Cobb, what a great addition to the team! Comparison to Jennings is apt. Cobb might be just as valuable given Pack finally has a returner.

Agreed. I hate Bush on defense. He is a good sp. teams player, but does he really play that well on sp. teams to keep winning a roster spot? I would not be upset at all if we cut him. I was dissappointed in Lee's play the most because I was hoping to would develop into a good nickel/dime back for us.

[Harlan Huckleby]

oh ya, I've not been a Zombo fan, but he looks like a different player this year. Much more athletic. I guess he will win the job.

I saw Bush make a lot of plays, and one badly missed tackle. Maybe he sucked in the 2nd half when my mind was drifting.

Agreed with just about everything. The biggest positive I took away from this game was that Matt Flynn has developed into a pretty good player.

I realize this is just the first preseason game but it didn't look like the starting front 3 was getting any pressure at all. Am I missing something? Is TT going to regret letting Jenkins get away.

I'm not concerned. They obviously wanted to take a long look at Lee and Bush. Therefore, getting pressure was not a big priority, since you can judge coverage better when there is not a lot of pressure.

Interesting question. Neal flashed a couple times during the game, Raji looks to be improving every year, and Pickett is still a good player. Other than those three however I don't see a lot of potential. I completely understand letting Jenkins go, but unless we stay healthy in the front seven most of the year we may be lacking in the pass rush department. We might need to make a trade for another decent d lineman in the upcoming weeks.

I just re-watched the first two drives (for TD's) by the Browns, and Bush and Lee were beaten easily by Colt McCoy. Now, that doesn't mean that actual game planning wouldn't change/improve their coverage and responsibilities, however as pure corners, I wouldn't be very comfortable with their long term viability.
