Join Tom Silverstein for updates, analysis and discussion as the Green Bay Packers take on the Houston Texans in the preseason opener at Lambeau Field.

3rd & 7 37yd

Agree the season is hit if Rodgers is out, but would like to have a guy who can fill in for a week or two and give us a chance.

Third and 7.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:06:04 AM
Kizer with a lot of time and hits Tonyan down the middle for 23 yards.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:06:32 AM
Kizer had to loft that over the middle linebacker.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:06:48 AM
Dexter Williams with a nice move on what was a badly blocked screen pass. 18 yards. Williams is a good receiver.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:07:18 AM
Williams saw the cutback lane there, but looked like he was a hair late.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:07:53 AM
Kizer to Moore outside to set up 3rd and 1 at the 22.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:08:25 AM
Williams has wheels too.

by PackerSteve 8/9/2019 1:08:27 AM
That Williams kid looks faster than he tested. One of those players, has to make eye contact with a defender to truly hit top gear. Picked his way there

by Dan V. 8/9/2019 1:08:33 AM
Kizer on the keeper and takes a pretty nice shot. J'Mon Moore whiffed on his block and nearly got Kizer crushed.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:09:14 AM
Tha'ts just a bad pass. Threw it behind Moore. He has to hit that.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:09:49 AM
Offensive line has been protecting Kizer pretty well. Light has settled down at left tackle and Adam Pankey is doing a lot better than DeBeer.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:10:41 AM
Kizer uses his wheels to buy time and hits Darius Sheppard for the TD. Sheppard took a shot in the end zone.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:11:14 AM
Sheppard is a guy to watch. Just made a play that will really help his cause. Hanging onto the ball wasn't easy.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:11:51 AM
Ficken with the PAT.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:11:57 AM
PACKERS 14, TEXANS 7.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:12:05 AM
Great fingertip catch by Sheppard!

by Peoria Pack 8/9/2019 1:12:07 AM
Pass could have been lower but good catch

by Pierre in Calgary 8/9/2019 1:12:09 AM
That's the FIRST sign I have seen of Kizer being able to make a play in this game.

by mrkgun 8/9/2019 1:12:13 AM
Sheppard over Davis and J’Mon?

by Matt 8/9/2019 1:12:31 AM
I wouldn't rule it out.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:12:41 AM
Kizer flashes, but is still inconsistent.

by Jeff in Iowa City 8/9/2019 1:12:44 AM
He doesn't catch it and it could have been picked

by Lindapack 8/9/2019 1:12:50 AM
I think Moore gets cut on the final cutdown, just does not seem to have it

by FLPackerfan 8/9/2019 1:12:53 AM
Sheppard might be hiding a concussion after that play

by Toby 8/9/2019 1:13:00 AM
Thinking 5wr and 4te

by Perry in Greenville 8/9/2019 1:13:03 AM
Possibly. Six WRs if they go with two QBs or four RBs.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:13:29 AM
4 TE would be excessive

by Pierre in Calgary 8/9/2019 1:13:34 AM
Not in this offense. They like tight ends that can catch.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:13:53 AM
Not much EQ St Brown, is he a possible cut like Moore at WR?

by Kevin K 8/9/2019 1:13:56 AM
I don't think so. Way too much potential there. He was ahead of MVS at the end of last year.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:14:16 AM
Ficken with a really nice kickoff. Blasted it 7 yards deep.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:14:30 AM
Kizer is a coach killer. Flashes just enough to suck you into the abyss of hope and potential.

by Matt 8/9/2019 1:14:33 AM
Does the "new" offense system confuse the TX defense? It seems that their defense knows just what is being played...

by Karen 8/9/2019 1:14:40 AM
No, there's no confusing anybody tonight. It's all vanilla. It's just a pickup game really.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:15:04 AM
A guy I've been impressed with is CB Kabion Ento. He's in the game now (No. 48). Played WR in college, but he's got really long arms and a 41 1/2 inch vertical. He's made some plays in camp.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:15:49 AM
Hi Tom! Great to see you back in gameday form. How big a role do you see Tonyon playing this year? Do his skills fit the new offense?

by Mark D in EPA 8/9/2019 1:15:59 AM
He's got to block. That's going to determine his fate.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:16:14 AM
Well, so much for that great tackling in the secondary. Jamerson gives up a first down with a missed tackle.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:16:37 AM
Kizer has to prove he won't lose the game, much less win one. He's having a good night. He's got a new coach, and has 7 players with catches. There are like 6 star QBs on planet Earth, so I think we need a little perspective

by Dan V. 8/9/2019 1:16:45 AM
I give you credit, Tom. The amount of stupidity on this blog tonight is too much for me. See you in September!

by Jericho34 8/9/2019 1:16:52 AM
Dang. You guys seem smart to me.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:17:02 AM
I feel like a CB wearing 48 is like a baseball pitcher in spring wearing a number in the 80s

by Bo Ryan Braun 8/9/2019 1:17:07 AM
Here's where McCarthy calls time out. Oh, wait.

by Jeff in Iowa City 8/9/2019 1:17:10 AM
Man 90 looks slimmer. What a difference
