On August the 10th GB will play it's first Preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lambeau field . Former back-up GB QB and now Head Coach Doug Pederson will lead his Eagles onto his former home ground . It will be a game to evaluate players for both teams and does not count for the reg season record, but it's football and will be most welcome in my house .

I expect to see simple formations / plays as fundamental football will be the word of the day . I still hope to see a few highlight reel plays to spice up the game. A big run , a big pick play, a great kickoff return , etc . would be fun to see . [thumbup]

Perhaps they will have Fireworks following the game .

As for the game , I'll be most interested in the RB's and the CB's performances . It could begin to provide a Gage of GB's on hand talent .

Frickin relax.

Pre-season, going to be a bunch of udfa's and rookies playing against another bunch of udfa's and rookies.
They will be running VANILLA offenses and defenses.
There is no game planning.
The coaches just want to get tape on their guys so they can get them back in the classroom and evaluate.
Any great expectations, especially for the 1st game, is not logical.

Hundley will be a star, because The Packers want to show him off for future trade offers.

Other than that....here's hoping There are no major injuries.

Preseason is a good chance to see some of the younger guys and for some of them its the only football action they will ever see. I enjoy watching them live their dream.

You are right, Brett Hundley will probably showcased quite a bit. Why risk Aaron Rodgers?

You know as well as anyone, what we see in pre-season is not in any way comparable to what is happening at practice.
I am willing to bet that on of the 5 rookie rb's will have a huge impact in a pre-season game and end up getting cut
Should I reference Jarret Bush, Jeff Janis....etc.
Bush showed well in practice, but not so well in pre-season games
More complained about him making the team year after year.
Janis just the opposite.
Great showing in pre-season games, terrible in practice.

So much is going to happen from the start of TC and opening day.
I'll let the coaches do their jobs and get amped when the final 53 come through the tunnel at Lambeau in Sept.

I'm always intrigued by the undrafted rookie(s) that find their way to make the team. I take a look at their story(ies) and see it/them as inspiration. We've got a month so it's time for me to get my life together until then.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (11h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (12h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (12h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (12h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (13h) : Who? What?

beast (22h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
