3rd & 7 37yd

Adams is crushing the middle tonight. Great play there

Are our two 1st rounders playing much? I have it on tv and never hear their names said.

by Karen 8/9/2019 1:17:24 AM
Savage has not played a ton. Gary has played almost every snap.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:17:48 AM
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Tom

Turnover or bust so far for this defense. Can't get off the field on 3rd down.

by Shawn 8/9/2019 1:18:10 AM
Tom, it’s so great to have you back!!! Wonderful to have the band back together!

by Joe in Houston 8/9/2019 1:18:26 AM
Tom how do you handle the intense pressure of watching the game and doing this blog for the masses of packer fans?

by NJ Packer 8/9/2019 1:18:36 AM
It's not pressure, it's just a matter of finding a rhythm. Knowing when to look at the game and when to look at the screen. Football is kind of made for this type of things.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:19:16 AM
Run defense has not looked good today.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:19:38 AM
Summers is prowling around like a caged tiger during the TV timeout.

by Peoria Pack 8/9/2019 1:19:44 AM
Tom, how many Packer fans on the blog?

by Old Man 8/9/2019 1:19:53 AM
Just over 1,000. We're easing into things, I guess.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:20:09 AM
Are preseason games useful for new coached to work on stuff like time management?

by jmmbass 8/9/2019 1:20:14 AM
Absolutely. They're huge for that.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:20:21 AM
Tom - u r in regular season form

by IL Packer 8/9/2019 1:20:24 AM
Thanks.

Fan here!!

by Fan in IL 8/9/2019 1:20:49 AM
Tom, give me your opinion on Summers vs Burks? Summer's has impressed me tonight, thoughts?

by Jpack 8/9/2019 1:20:56 AM
Yeah, Summers has had a nice game so far. I don't know if he's gotten washed out on some of the running plays, but he can pursue the ball.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:21:28 AM
Adams plugged that with a double team there. He really looks good

by Dan V. 8/9/2019 1:21:34 AM
Good coverage on the deep route down the sideline. No chance for Webb there.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:22:08 AM
I'm down in Orlando now, so I am streaming the game on the computer, your blog is my life line.

following from fl

by hodag60s 8/9/2019 1:22:15 AM
Third and 10 at teh 36.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:22:21 AM
Nice tackle by Jamerson on the throw over the middle, holding Adams short of the first down. Texans will let the clock run to 3 seconds and call timeout.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:23:06 AM
They're going to try a 49-yard field goal.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:23:19 AM
What’s the outlook on backup center? Did McCray start there tonight?

by Dan 8/9/2019 1:23:23 AM
Patrick started there. I really think Jenkins will be the backup there, but they need him to learn guard so he's playing there for now.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:23:50 AM
Fairbaim to kick for the Texans from 49... It's good.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:24:24 AM
PACKERS 14, TEXANS 10.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:24:31 AM
Bears kicker lining up for a 43 yarder at end of half. Same direction as double doink kick last year. Could be his last day in camp . . .

by Bo Ryan Braun 8/9/2019 1:24:44 AM
Tom - need u to write the column after the regular season opener. Give me talking points.

by IL Packer 8/9/2019 1:24:57 AM
Bears hold Packers to 29 yards rushing.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:25:07 AM
What’s your guess as to why they cut grant so quick?

by Dan 8/9/2019 1:25:11 AM
They just wanted to take a look. I think they liked the two guys they picked up on waivers Darrin Hill and Ford better than Grant.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:25:38 AM
Gary getting shoved around no impact

by Prs 8/9/2019 1:25:43 AM
Total bust.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:25:46 AM
Greetings from Guadalajara, Mexico Tom! Love reading the blog!

Greetings!

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:25:53 AM
Preseason form tom

by Scruffinator 8/9/2019 1:26:00 AM
Wow... That's encouraging

by IL Packer 8/9/2019 1:26:01 AM
Everyone should keep in mind that Houston was a playoff team that ended their season on an 11-2 run. They are a quality team with good depth.

by Andy E 8/9/2019 1:26:06 AM
First half injuries

by Mike 8/9/2019 1:26:08 AM
Just Burks as far as I can tell.

by Tom Silverstein 8/9/2019 1:26:14 AM
Bears kicker made it. He's gotta be their guy based on that kick.
