I think Boykin did look a little off last night but since it's pre-season I'm sure glad his off now & not when it's really going to count.

I expect him taking the 3rd spot but he will have challenge.

Here's two that might steal the last 2 spots.

Chris Harper: Love his size, all tho lacks speed but can make up for it.
Davante Adams: Lacks concentration but with the weather as bad as it was can't blame with a poor performance.

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

That usually goes without saying.

I was going on about that enough in the chat box. I was still annoyed about it today. Do those announcers actually do regular season games too? If so, wow.

I wouldn't discount the wideouts and TEs in a game without Aaron Rodgers and with driving rain. And I think it's the last four after Nelson and Cobb, not just three.

I think Harper took a big step back.

3 drops,

1 was a wide open TD,

The other 2 would have gotten us a 1st down.

I am rooting for the guy. I just didn't notice him. Read some articles today and none of them mentioned him either. If he was involved, then I just missed him watching other people.

The announcers were Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon. They do Packer preseason games. Harlan is fairly good, although I think he sounds like an AM Radio station at times. Gannon has some good QB input, but that's about it.

I think some folks bag on announcers just because they thing it's vogue and don't actually pay attention or understand their responsibility. In other words, it's the equivalent of ripping a Punter for not throwing a perfect spiral.

They were fair, seemed to have a knowledge of many of the players from both teams, and quickly identified the player and what school they were from. I've seen much worse from preseason announcers.

But those aren't the announcers I was complaining about... I got the Titans announcers which were Cory Curtis and Eddie George... and I thought they struggled compared to in season announcers.
