Official Packers vs. Browns Game Day Thread

MM looked absolutely irate.

Adam Caplan Tweeted that Harrell was one of the two worst QBs he graded at his Senior Bowl. Had no sense of pocket or timing.

Datko has some raw skills but he is not ready for prime time. Can be bulled and taken apart on run plays or anything inside. Radio said Wells played LG after being at LT all week. Well, I know he rotated at LT with Taylor and Datko, but I suspect he saw some snaps at his more natural position, but the Packers do some odd things on the O line sometimes. I bet Thompson plays Datko a ransom to stay on the PS.

That said, Sherrod must be healthy or there is not a ready for primetime LT on the roster beside Newhouse.

MD Jennings went a long way toward losing any confidence I had in him. I would rather send McMillan out there to hit someone. Anyone.

If Jarret Bush could figure out how to locate a ball, he would be in the Hall of Fame already.

Twitter, including the writers, all believe the scuttlebutt that the Packers are both trying to get Harrell up to speed, but also hiding Coleman from the film.

CJ Wilson and Raji got rolled on run plays early. I would prefer Pickettt in the middle. Sometimes Raji doesn't give 100% on double teams and lets himself get turned.

Muir is going to stick and the Packers are going to need Hargrove and Neal before the season is out. Browns have a good O line at spots (not sure if entire unit is as effective as some individuals) but the Packers looked very shaky up front. Dezman Moses lost some luster as well being blind to what was going on around him. Walden will stick on 53 easily.

Anyone see that Jahvid Best is out from a 2011 concussion.

Makes you wonder how long Jennings could be out.

Best has a long history of them dating back to college. I think Jennings is on number 3. He was back in meetings this week,

Note to pb; even is Sherry does get healthy we still don't have a ready LT on the roster besides Newhouse

[Bretsky]

What an ugly, ugly game. Thankfully it's preseason and hopefully our guys come out to play next week. Harrell is atrocious and I'd love to see us go out and get someone, anyone like McNabb, McCoy or some other backup that doesn't completely stink. Heck I think I'd feel better having Tarvaris Jackson as our backup and that's just insulting.

I forgot about Jackson, but throwing a 7th rounder to Seattle, who is going to cut Jackson anyways in favor of the amazing RUSSELL WILSON......might be a good idea

Those looked like some good observations. Raji was getting pushed around by that center. It was crazy.

I found it pretty interesting that Rodgers called out the running game and specifically mentioned that he was looking forward to having "Ced" at running back next week.

[smuggler]

I bet we could have traded Flynn for a 5th to turn around and flip for Colt McCoy. :/

Instead, we'll get a 3rd round comp pick for him next year.

Their center is very good, but Pickett is more stout that Raji. I don't know why they are so intent on him being in there in base 3-4.

If Sherry came back this morning, he would be the closest to competent at backup LT even if he hasn't lifted a weight since November of 11. Its all relative.

[Harlan Huckleby]

DJ Smith looks like he's put on a few lbs.

I thought he looked awful. Could just be the plays where he caught my eye.

[smuggler]

Raji is typically the first man off the ball on the LoS, plus he's big. That's important, but there are areas of his play that leave a little to be desired.

[smuggler]

Raji was getting pushed around by that center. It was crazy.

A thing Pouncey could never dream of.

[Smidgeon]

How is the Browns' 3rd string QB better than our backup? Yikes.

Because he's actually their backup once they dump Colt. He was Hasselbeck's backup in Seattle and has been in the league for ten years now. And he's got the athleticism to make up for bad line play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7gPOl_F8HQ

(P.S. That play was voted the #2 play of the year in college football that year. Second only to a crazy Hail Mary to win a game. And I saw that play live.)

Yes. Good observations.

I only saw the second part of the second quarter through most of the fourth when the Browns were just running out the clock.
