Quick SnoTapWI Takes About Packers Preseason Game 3
This game was supposed to be feature Aaron Rodgers for a little bit. Finally, we could see QB1 on the field. That did not happen. Rather, we saw mostly Tim Boyle with a dash of DeShone Kizer as the field did not have a playable condition. That’s a wild thing to happen for the National Football League and an embarrassment to the league. Winnipeg deserved better. Green Bay and Oakland deserved better. This league continues to find ways to be an ACME character. One that steps on a rake and gets hit squarely in the face. Here are a few quick things that caught my eye from yesterday.
– Trevor Davis is going to make it real hard on Green Bay for the receiver position. It is hard to think that he will be cut. I realize it’s one game, but Davis showed out. You also have to remember the body of work for him. He did this all Spring and Summer before getting hurt.
– Injuries were a real thing last night. Rashan Gary had to be carted off, but it seems like he might be okay according to his agency. Curtis Bolton is on crutches and a knee brace which cannot be a good thing. Equanimous St. Brown likely broke or dislocated his ankle on a gruesome play. He is headed for IR, and that will help with the receiver puzzle. You don’t want people to go down, but injuries can play a large factor when trying to decide who to keep.
– Montravious Adams looked like a man among boys – Good stuff from Adams last night. He will likely be the starter out of the gates for the Packers at defensive lineman replacing Mike Daniels. Adams took care of business against Oakland’s second and third-string talent. He is a guy flying under the radar that I think more people should be excited for next year.
– Don’t get hyped on Tim Boyle – Let’s not do this with Boyle. He had a good start with 191 yards, 16 completions, and two touchdowns. He did that mostly against their third string. This isn’t like Boyle lit up mostly starters and a few bench guys. He played well, but there is nothing about him that vaults him over Kizer… yet.
– Let’s go after Mason Foster – With Curtis Bolton likely down, it’s time to go after Mason Foster. As it was pointed out on Twitter, the former Redskins linebacker had Kirk Olivadotti as his coach in Washington. This seems like a natural fit and someone the Packers should go after today. Navarro Bowman is another option but he’s a bit older.
This will likely be it for the takes unless I am true machoist to watch the final preseason game.
