Davis with nice catch. Even better on a contested slant.
Backman having a night.
GERONIMO first down!
If you want to win a game you shouldn't with a backup QB, it might be Williams and his legs that would do it.
Whatever version of the O line this is, they can run block a little.
Ross (RB)? makes 2 bad run reads in a row.
bad throw for an INT.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

HOLY FACKRELL! You do have to block him!
Lost his helmet so he has to come off and get examined.
Burks (RB) kinda nifty after the catch.
Walker at RT.
Peaches and Herb Waters in is.
Joe the Show with the short yardage stop of Burks.
Nice naked boot and shovel pass.

Random thoughts:
After tonight, I think Bradford has a shot at making the team.
Backman looked pretty quick.
Not sure Callahan was seeing the field. Couldn't seem to find WR's. Maybe nerves. Probably played in front of more people tonight than he did in his entire college career.
Not sure, but Barclay might be okay at Center.
Marquis Williams is a heck of an athlete.
Randall gets beat deep on sideline route. Is he basically Casey Hayward (Before the hamstrings)?
Crockett and Burks maybe aren't bad.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

Randall should have plenty of speed. I think he is faster than Hayward ever was. On that early route he took a false step instead of running through the receiver.
Bradford looked just find in coverage. At least when the play was in front of him. Closed very well.
Twitter likes Williams more than Callahan. I agree.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Hayward had solid speed coming out. 4.47 40 which is almost identical to Randall (4.46). Their 3-cone times, broad jump, height, and weight are almost identical. The only real difference was Randall's 38" vertical compared to Hayward's 34" vertical.Originally posted by pbmax View PostRandall should have plenty of speed.

As long as he's healthy, abbrederis is our #3 wr. Rodgers values trust above most else. Abby is the exact kind of Jennings/Nelson/Cobb sort of player that you can trust to make all of the right adjustments and be in the right spot. And he's got some talent too.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.

Given that Randall hasn't had leg injuries, I think that speed should be fine for outside. Slightly curious he was out there wide after he and Rollins spent a LOT of time in the first two weeks splitting duties with slot CB. It wasn't a good play by Randall, but like I said I think the bought a head and shoulder fake and took a bad step more than anything else to lose T Pryor.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers View PostHayward had solid speed coming out. 4.47 40 which is almost identical to Randall (4.46).

Gannett is going to need to get another editor on Bob or give him more time to come up with the best catastrophic story line.
Bob is worried Little Mike has gone off the rails already. Today, Bob says the plan with Rodgers playing in the first preseason game last year went well until unspecified other problems derailed the team. Clearly the plan of playing in the first two exhibition games and not the last two was the near optimum way to go because for 3 games, Rodgers was lights out.
Since he mentions no other considerations, he suggests the late season swoon is the reason he held Rodgers out of the Browns game. Bob is worried this is an overreaction, never before seen in the civilized world, to one set of bad events caused by participation in last years first two preseason game. Bob doesn't say this, but with more time I am sure he would have mentioned generals always fighting the last war.
And if that were not enough, coaches who are human and have actual empathy used to start the starters for at least a series or two because the patrons have paid a lot of money to see their team. Because the best way to run a winning franchise is to set you player participation plan in accordance with the Executive Board's ticket sales and revenue plan.
If you are thus far unconvinced, Bob tells you that the last time Rodgers sat out the first preseason game, in 2014, the offense struggled in its opening three games. The offense struggled early in 2012 as well, when Rodgers did play in the exhibition opener, which is obviously the exception that proves the rule.
And Lord knows the Packers shouldn't be playing with fire. They open on the road with an improving Jacksonville Jaguars squad.

Holy crap it gets worse. Read this:
Now if you have better things to do, you read this and say Hue Jackson had Live Tackling in 2/3 of his practices plus he played his starting QB for 2 series. Clearly, this is a man who knows how to football. But if you have nothing better to do, you realize this:The Packers had practiced 12 times leading up to the opener, with eight conducted in pads. None of the work included live tackling.
Hue Jackson, the new coach in Cleveland, incorporated periods of full contact in about two-thirds of his practices. His approach is almost the exact opposite of McCarthy’s.
1. Hue Jackson is 8-8 as a HC.
2. Robert Griffin is in his first year of a new offense and is coming back from an injury and not playing for a year.
3. Bob doesn't actually say Hue had live tackling. He says full contact. Maybe that includes live tackling, but ol' Bob ain't telling.
4. Periods of Full Contact sounds a lot like half line drills if you think about it
5. The Packers have had 8 practices in pads out of 12. Hue is running periods of contact in 66.7% of his practices. Little Mike is running at 75% in pads. More similar than different I should think.
I think Bob is mad he didn't get to write the game review article.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
