The only thing I care about in preseason games is that none of our guys get injured. The games are meaningless.

Most of these are an all preseason thing...

Jones vs Walden vs Zombo.. and I am looking forward to seeing how stiff Elmore looks.

I am interested in the backup MLBers.. basically do we have the depth there or do we need to shift some Backers around.. maybe even look outside.

I want to see Davon House in action.. see if he will be this years Shields that plays well above his experience.

DJ Williams and So'oto will have my attention as well.

Lawrence Guy.. is a in the mix, a developmental player or will he continue his under performing ways.

McDonald vs Lang vs Sherrod

I want to see if Levine has taken another step in his development.

I want to see if Peprah builds off last season..

I want to see if Grant has the burst back.

Pat Lee.. put up or depart?

Same with Underwood.

Has Sam Shields improved and put a strangle hold on being the next starting CB in Green Bay after Woodson departs.

Will Jarius Wynn take the next step and realize more of his potential?

I want to see if Brandon Saine looks as sharp as some have claimed him to look at times.. IMO, he could make the RB depth chart get very interesting.

Gurley, Shaky and the kid out of Arizona State.. Taylor.. can any of them make a run at the roster.

Cobb.. just to see how dynamic he looks at this level..

Could list more.. but lastly I will be looking for the one or two surprises of the 2011 roster.

My only contention would be It won't be a fair evaluation in preseason week 1. Not everyone will be working with the first team against the other teams first team. Someone (Let's pick on Guy) could be going against their 3rd string and free agents and he could shine. But it doesn't tell us very much. It says he is as good as above avg college players. For that 3 or 4 sets of downs that he played. If he does poorly, was it all his fault or were the other guys on 3rd string blowing their assignments and he ended up looking bad?

Same for other position battles, they all don't face the same opponents in the same situations.

Do we need the preseason games for evaluation? Yep. But as much or more comes out the the practices that we don't get to watch as what happens in the games.

That said when I show up next week these are the things I will be looking at too. (Since I can't watch a REAL game with the REAL starters, I have to be looking for something.)

During the entire length of preseason...

For the time they are out there I want to see if the starting offense found their rhythm because so far it sounds like they have been off a majority of the training camp.

I will mostly be looking at positions that need to be filled and have a battle for starting spots...LG, DE, OLB, RB, and SS.

Very excited to see what Cobb can do on the field both on ST and offense.

Also would like to see zero injuries.
