Summers is a good tackler

by Pierre in Calgary 8/9/2019 12:25:43 AM
Yeah the game’s on NFL network at midnight. I hope for Tom’s sake the blog is finished by then.

Casey Hayward couldn’t stay healthy until he left, then became a pro-bowler, hopefully not a repeat.

by Kevin K 8/9/2019 12:25:51 AM
Does Tony Brown have starter abilities?

by JP 8/9/2019 12:25:59 AM
Summers is speedy

by Centrillinois 8/9/2019 12:26:10 AM
I don't know about starter ability, but he's competing for a nickel spot this year. He has made a lot of improvement since last year.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:26:49 AM
Oren Burks has an ice bag on his left shoulder. I don't think he's coming back.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:27:17 AM
Tom I was very impressed with you article earlier in the year about how Murphy changed the organizational structure. When you write an article like that do you get push-back, the front office, Murphy or the executive board?

by JP 8/9/2019 12:27:41 AM
Thank you. Yes, there was push-back. That's all I'll say.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:28:03 AM
I love this team on paper and believe it has the potential to not only make the playoffs, but perhaps be a 1 or 2 seed. The big concern I see are potential injuries to Rodgers and Aaron Jones. They've got some good pieces in place for a nice season, even under the first year coach, but again, I worry about injuries to key players.

by Krugs 8/9/2019 12:28:22 AM
Wow, really nice undercut of the seam route by Ka'Dar Hollman for an interception. Penalty?

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:29:00 AM
Holding on the Texans, so that interception by Hollman stands.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:29:29 AM
There was a blindside block on the return.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:29:45 AM
I'm buying a hollman jersey. So hyped for him. What a great story to

by Tom Goldstein 8/9/2019 12:29:58 AM
Summers and Hollman looking like good late round D picks for the squad

by Dan V. 8/9/2019 12:29:59 AM
My local game is Lions vs Patriots. Just for info Patriots look like a better team.

by Matt 8/9/2019 12:30:10 AM
Tom I do agree on your take about front office.. thanks for your work

by NJ Packer 8/9/2019 12:30:13 AM
I really haven't seen any wide zone plays yet. Seems like mostly inside zone.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:30:41 AM
Tom's the best writer we have

by Tom Goldstein 8/9/2019 12:30:54 AM
Thanks!

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:30:57 AM
Darius Shepherd in the game!

by Centrillinois 8/9/2019 12:31:02 AM
Tom - thoughts on Mason Crosby being the opening day kicker?

by IL Packer 8/9/2019 12:31:04 AM
He's the incumbent. Ficken has to take it from him. I still like Crosby to win.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:31:18 AM
Third and 1.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:31:22 AM
Nice big whole for Dexter Williams up the middle. Nice block by Lane Taylor.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:31:46 AM
Shepard is going to make the team. He needs to be are slot guy.

by Tom Goldstein 8/9/2019 12:31:50 AM
Pushback like they cutoff the special press box food for you?

by Majik 8/9/2019 12:31:53 AM
They didn't go that far.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:31:57 AM
Just tuned in. So glad to see the Blog back...out of town so no TV coverage

by Oconomowoc5 8/9/2019 12:32:02 AM
Kumerow showing really strong hands on those over routes.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:32:28 AM
Kumerow has two completions over the middle.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:32:40 AM
There was a wide zone play.... it went nowhere. Williams was a little early with his cut it looked like.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:33:05 AM
Checking in from sec 100. Pack D coming off the ball nicely.

by Rob 8/9/2019 12:33:07 AM
Kumerow have the best hands on the team, Tom?

by Conor 8/9/2019 12:33:17 AM
Not better than Adams.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:33:21 AM
Kumerow is one of my dark horse fantasy players that I'll probably be able to pick up for a buck come draft day. ;)

by Krugs 8/9/2019 12:33:25 AM
Dexter Williams wants that run back. Knows he should have hit the gas a little faster

by Dan V. 8/9/2019 12:33:29 AM
TOM!!!...just turned game on...awesome to have football & the blog back!!....has anyone been fired yet?!?..

by DBess 8/9/2019 12:33:40 AM
Not yet.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:33:43 AM
Third and 9 and Kizer got the Texans to jump I believe. He just heaved the ball down field because he knew it was on the Texans. Nice use of the hard count.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 12:34:20 AM
at least Kizer did not throw a pick on the screen like he did VS the Bears!!

by PackerSteve 8/9/2019 12:34:26 AM
Special teams coach is on the clock.

by Matt 8/9/2019 12:34:31 AM
Any thoughts on the rookie OL Jenkins - what position(s) are they playing him at?

by MJ 8/9/2019 12:34:35 AM
He's playing right guard now, but ultimately he'll be a center in the NFL.
