Finally...

Its game time. Pre-season, yes, but still game time. No "Hating Your Enemy" until the regular season, and to be honest, the biggest enemy of the Pack right now are the idiotic fans who do things like this. It looks like several players will be out with injuries, but none look too serious. Here are a couple things to watch for...

1) If you're like me and want to donkey punch Tony Kornheiser in the back of the head, make sure you tune into Wayne and Larry for an intelligent radio broadcast with the TV on mute. You usually have to go on NFL.com and buy a "Fieldpass" for this, but you can usually find some free radio broadcasts out there, like WTMJ.

2) QB play. This one's obvious, but it would be nice to see the wide receivers make catches, as opposed to the seven drops in the scrimmage that made Rodgers look sub-par. Besides the obvious (Rodgers), I'm excited to watch Brohm and Flynn make a run at the #2 spot.

3) O-Line. RG Josh Sitton has to be the surprise of the 2008 draft so far. He was pegged as one of the biggest reaches of the draft by Scott Wright at NFL Draft Countdown (on a side note, this is the same Scott Wright who thought that James Jones was one of the biggest reaches last year). It looks like Spitz will start at center (Wells is injured), and it will be interesting to see who performs better at LG (Colledge or Barbre). My money is on a starting line of Clifton, Spitz, Wells, Sitton, and Tauscher.

4) D-Line pressure. We surely won't unleash the blitzes that Bob Sanders has planned for this year, but something that I'm concerned about is pressure from the front four. This was a weakness as the season progressed last year, and came to a head in the NFC Championship game. I have high hopes for Michael Montgomery and Jeremy Thompson, who looks like a young Jason Taylor in pads.

5) The fans. Act like true Packers fans and have some class please. Booing the team doesn't accomplish anything.

Thats it for now, I'll post something later and my predictions for the final 53 man roster.
