The running game worries me. It was our 1st string O against 2nd string D, and they still couldn't do anything.
We need the running game to work from game 1 on if we are going to be good. That will take pressure off AR. Otherwise, teams will just come after our QB all the time. We need a fast start to the seaosn, not the usual bad start.

I agree but to defend the 1st sting O a bit that 2nd string DL does have a very talented and strong 1st and 2nd round picks in Harrell and Neal. Not sure who was the other was for the DL was...

Was it Ryan Grant? Because that would explain some things...

I didn't get a chance to watch but I should be able to watch preseason game 1 with you all in the chat. I'm stocked up on liquor and obnoxiousness. It's go time!

I didn't see it, so I'm not concerned about the slow start on O.

Just so that slow start doesn't last 8 games into the season like it did last year.

Finally had a chance to watch the scrimmage and here are some of my thoughts.

1. I've heard comments about the running game, but to be honest, I didn't even notice since it was hardly used at all. We really took advantage of this scrimmage to air it out. A couple of the running plays were doomed and were never going to amount to anything. The very first offensive play, they had a call where Finley was doing a reach down block on a DE, there was no chance he was going to make the block and the defender was in Grant's face before the line of scrimmage. I have to imagine in a game situation Aaron would have recognized how the defense was lined up and would have checked out of it. Then there was the 3rd and 1 near the goal line where Hawk made a tremendous play and embarrased the half hearted lead block of Kuhn.

2. Speaking of airing it out, the offense had no problems moving the ball through the air. Finley, Nelson and Jones made a bunch of plays and were exciting to watch. Line did well for the most part and Rodgers seemed to be calm and in control in the pocket.

3. Defensively I was surprised and excited by two players in particular. Underwood and Hawk. Underwood seemed to look like he belonged on the field and it is encouraging to see that we might actually have some quality depth at DB. I look forward to see more from him and believe he could be the 3rd CB. The pick 6 was fun, though the sommersault into the end zone was dumb, do the safe celebration and give the crowd what they want, Lambeau Leap baby!! Overall frm what i could actually see he played sound coverage and looked to be verbally communicating well with the rest of the defense. As for Hawk, I thought he was plain fun to watch. They had him shooting gaps all over the place and he was just attacking, I didn't see any hesitation. That play where he blew up Kuhn and made the tackle on Grant was fantastic, and there was also a play where he embarrased Dietrich playing center and had an easy sack.

4. Honorable mentions:
Crosby - I hope that is the norm what we saw, great accuracy and very consistent distance on the kick offs.
Raji - He just ate the middle up and concistently behind the line of scrimmage, can't wait to see the front 3 in full action.
Bush - Yes, that Bush. Most likely this will be the high point of his season, but he didn't look like a complete fool out there and had some good run support and was actually near receivers in coverage.
Shields - I still don't know if he'll make the team when it's all said and done and would be very surprised. The first catch by Jennings i think Shields was trying to use Google Maps to get directions to Greg because he looked lost. But that interception later was fantastic and watching his receiver skills on that return was fun.

All in all I think the scrimmage had a little pep to it and the team looked good in all phases.

Good takes, Tezzy. I agree that it was a good scrimmage overall. I liked the energy out there.

I noticed two good plays by Jarrett Bush. One was breaking up the pass intended for James Jones at the goal line. The other was a nice lead block on Shields' interception return. I'd rather he not make the team, but I have to give credit where credit is due.

I am leaning toward Shields making the roster based on what I saw in the scrimmage. Let's see if he can keep it up during the preseason.

I had to work down in Fort Atkinson on Saturday, I was driving back during the scrimmage. I just walked in and going to sit the couch when I heard the fireworks start over at the stadium. I missed the whole thing.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
