Is anyone on this board not at all upset that while most teams have at least ran some O plays with their starting O unit the packers have chosen to damn near rest their entire O unit through all of preseason.
Even KC gave mahomes 1 series yesterday to get his timing down.
I can already hear the excuse if they lose we were not in rhythm not in sync.I dont get why MLF thinks you can just start the regular season without having at least 1 or 2 series with your O lineup during the preseason

I've seen September is the new pre-season in terms of teams looking kinda crappy and figuring their stuff out.

I know the games count, but I think the philosophy is peak in November/Dec and just get yourself figured out in Sept. I know HFA is of course important but I think the Packers just roll with some uneven play in Sept instead of risking anyone in pre-season.

Agree with some of that but the season is only 17 games you cant come out n suck for to long otherwise
you will be to far behind.This isnt like baseball or basketball where you can start slow lost 5 or 6 games in a row n still and have it not matter.
Losing a conference game in week 1 isnt great at all either puts you 2 games behind saints after 1 week

Last season with NO preseason the team started 4-0. Two years ago, with the same preseason approach and Rodgers playing no snaps the team started 7-1.

We may lose a September game but it will have nothing to do with preseason. Plus, while other teams have lost starters to injury during preseason games, we have not.

[humanrefutation]

I don't think a single series or two in a meaningless preseason game will do all that much for an offense as experienced as ours. They're running the same offense with the same key players. The risk heavily outweighs the reward.

I'd rather use the preseason to judge those guys who might not get a lot of snaps in the regular season and evaluate whether they can be contributors if called upon.

Shoulda just did it weeks ago, but glad they finally came to their senses.

Man, you sure have a chubby for Funchess... Did he kick your dog or what?

By the way, he was still let go based on his injury, not his dumb comment.

[ReasonablySober]

So perusing Twitter, I came across something from PFF that effectively graded Royce Newman as one of the best preseason OL or something like that. It is entirely possible we are coming out of this draft with day 1, two starting interior OL, a starting CB (though I think that will be later in the season), a slot back, 3rd string RB (who looks fantastic), a starting DT (and a UDFA back up DT), a starting slot WR (again, not sure if that is day 1), and a couple of UDFA secondary guys that look like they are going to make the roster.

On top of that we get our H back drafted last year added to the mix.

So many fun additions to the team.

^^^ I think it's becoming very apparent that Gute and the current Packer scouts seem to have really good handle on identifying O Line prospects.

That's not exactly what I meant.


The risk/reward for a veteran team is too high. Rather they believe they can iron it out any deficiencies in sept and hopefully still win (win ugly if needed) in sept, maybe at worst drop a game, and be running on all cylinders and peaking second half of the season, vs risking injury in Aug that could derail the entire season.

[crkone]

So I wonder where the NO game will be played.

FWIW, Michaels and Collinsworth opined during the Browns/Falcons game that the 18game season with no pre-season games is likely and the players might bite on that, as long as the pre-season games are ditched. Formal inter-team scrimmages as the go-to in that outcome.

That makes sence again though seot games are as important as November games seeing they play only 17 being 2 or 3 games back at the end of sept is not good with the easy part of their schedule in the 1st 8 weeks.I understand not playing your starters in PS but even mahomnes played 1 series in their last game.They have to come out on all cylinders the 1st 8 games or so are very winnable hard part of schedule starts when they play KC cant be losing to many early games

Dallas I think.

[MickeyDavis]

The league has said they aren't going to try to juggle bye weeks to play it later in the season which make sense, you can't give both teams a first week bye and then have to play 17 straight weeks. And we don't have the same bye week anyway so that would be a mess. Dallas makes the most sense and a break for us if that happens.

Yeah it's clearly a risk avoidance thing. The risk of losing a key vet is viewed as worse than the risk of being a little rusty early in the year.

For a pretty veteran offensive group I don't have any issue with this. Also how much does playing like 1 or 2 series really actually matter?

Rodgers clearly pointed out that the scrimmages against the Jets were far more helpful than any preseason game

I did hear that comment from him, which seems to contradict his earlier remarks about those inter- team scrimmages. Different contexts?

Hated them his entire career, didn't hate them this year.

I think they were actually useful this year because the teams actually ran some schemes instead of vanilla offenses and defenses.

Him and Braden are surprise cuts, especially with how they performed when given the chance.
