Do you think not playing in the preseason will hurt the Packers· Page 2

No it's not normal, teams used to play starters for like 3 quarters in week 3. The whole league is collectively saying they don't think it's worth risking their starters for preseason snaps. There was a 0 percent chance even if we played starters on offense that they actually ran the new system anyways. Sure some preseason snaps could be useful but I really doubt it has any significant impact on the season as a whole. They've taken what probably 1000+ snaps throughout training camp actually running the system and now 20 or so more snaps against another team running vanilla plays was going to change much?

The last time Aaron & Co. had zero snaps in preseason was after the 2010 season.
The new CBA. Had not been ratified so preseason was cancelled.

Anybody remember Aaron's numbers in 2011?

The season kicked off with the shootout vs The Saints and The Packers offense didn't slow down all year.

I just keep thinking how it was reported early in TC that The D was kicking the Offense's ass.

The latest report I heard was The offense is now getting the better of the D.

Give me practice reps over preseason reps for the starters all day!

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Just cancel preseason altogether and allow two-a-days and more training camp days.

Rams didn't play starters last year did they? They got to the Super Bowl.

Aaron: Pieces Falling into Place

Well, I guess THAT'S settled. Aaron cares more about winning than he does about showing he has more power than the Head Coach! He says so himself.

Bet the farm against Chicago! 👍

At most, maybe just a conversation or two.

“I think the key, for us, is there’s going to for sure be situations that come up with the new play-caller and quarterback relationship, where we’re going to have to work through some things to get on the same page. But we’ve had a lot of great conversations.”

Nerd...good contribution

Aaron: Pieces Falling into Place

I think the most interesting comments are Bulaga's and IMO they are positive.

We will see a lot of new stuff, unlike the last 4 years.
