The fourth preseason game is always the worst one, and this was no exception. I didn't learn as much as I would've liked to, but here are some noteworthy facts/opinions:
Rodgers, Grant, Driver, and Woodson did not play. I didn't see Finley either.
Jason Chery fumbled the opening kickoff--twice. Hello, waiver wire. In fairness, he didn't fumble any more, and he had a couple of decent punt returns, but he doesn't look NFL ready at this point.
Sam Shields gave up a big completion early. Other than that, he didn't get mentioned much.
Hard to tell how well Justin Harrell played. The defensive line didn't look good overall.
Brett Swain played very well and probably locked down the #5 receiver spot. He does especially well on crossing routes.
Matt Flynn had a nice game after a sluggish start. Good mobility, good accuracy, good decision-making. He played into the fourth quarter and threw for about 300 yards.
Our long snapper Brett Goode left the game early after a blow to the head (he should be fine for the season opener), which made it harder to judge the punters because a couple of the snaps from Dietrich-Smith were off-target. Both punters looked mediocre, which means that Masthay should still have the advantage. Masthay also kicked off once and kicked it to the goal line with decent hang time.
Mason Crosby drilled three field goals but only got credit for two because one had to be rekicked after a penalty. He also executed a perfect onside kick that was recovered by the Packers.
T.J. Lang got torched once at left tackle.
Marshall Newhouse got torched at least once at left tackle and committed a stupid false start penalty on one of Crosby's field goal attempts. He may not make the roster.
Jarrett Bush had a good game, breaking up a pass and getting an interception as well as making some nice tackles. The interception was lucky, but he gets credit for hanging onto it. Bush may survive the roster cuts after all. It's hard to get excited about that. He's had a part in too many bad plays over the last few years.
Brady Poppinga gave up a couple of big plays when he was caught out of position.
I didn't see much from Zombo one way or another.
The backup WRs Dillon and Williams both looked very good except Dillon dropped a couple right at the end.
Graham Harell looked the part of the third string QB and practice squad candidate.
Quinn Johnson caught a pass, raising his preseason pass-catching percentage to 50% (2 for 4) and looked very good as a blocker once again.
Another good game for John Kuhn, including blocking two players at once on a pass play and making a couple of nice runs.
Well, that's all I can think of for now. Not a very inspiring game, even by preseason standards.
