Highlights for preseason game 3

http://www.packers.com/news/releases/2009/08/24/2/ 

GREEN BAY HEADS WEST TO FACE ARIZONA
- The Packers travel over 1,800 miles for their third exhibition contest against the Arizona Cardinals, a trip they will repeat in Week 17.

- In many ways, this may be the team's best test of the preseason. For starters, it is the first road game of 2009, giving the team a valuable look at how its younger players will perform in a hostile environment.

- In Arizona, Green Bay faces one of the league's most explosive aerial attacks, led by QB Kurt Warner and WR Larry Fitzgerald. The Cardinals are coming off an appearance in Super Bowl XLIII.

- As has been the case under Head Coach Mike McCarthy, primary starters will see their most extended action of the preseason as well. Traditionally, they have played into the second half.

- Both the No. 1 offense and defense will look to maintain the momentum of the first two exhibition games in what should be its most extended 'live' action until the regular-season opener Sept. 13 vs. Chicago.

- It will be the first trip to the University of Phoenix Stadium for the Green Bay franchise. It was an overtime away from playing at the state-of-the-art facility in Super Bowl XLII.

- Arizona lost at home, 17-6, to the San Diego Chargers this past Saturday after dropping its preseason opener in Pittsburgh a week earlier. It will wrap up the preseason Sept. 3 in Denver.

- Old-time rivals dating back to the days when the Cardinals franchise called Chicago home, Friday night marks the 21st preseason meeting between the two franchises. Green Bay holds a 14-6 advantage.

Can't wait to see how we'll do against Fitzgerald and Warner. Getting there fast enough on a blitz against Warner is quite hard. If things won't go perfect, he'll dissect the defense. Or just throw it up for Fitzgerald.

Hope to see some man on Fitzgerald and Boldin. Woodson on Fitz, Harris on Boldin. Just to see how good our corners really still are. Helped by some pressure and Nick Collins, of course.

Yes, this should definitely be the best test for our team so far. Damn, containing Fitzgerald and Boldin should be a tough row to hoe!

Make it out of this one healthy, and rest everyone against the Titans for Chicago. It's almost here ladies and gentlemen....Kickoff '09 is almost here...can ya feel it?!

Best test for our defense yet. Cleveland played like they usually do and the Bills were without TO. Finally we have a team that we can actually build an honest analysis of our defense around.

I agree with everyone, this game will be a good gage on where the defense is with the 3-4.

It will also be a nice test for Tramond as he will be covering a very good slot receiver in Steve Breaston.

Yeah that's a good way to warm up to the possible future in laws. If the packers win you can just blurt out "How bout them Packers" during dinner.
Then wait for the old man to show you to the door.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
