Lazard, Watkins and Cobb will be the mainstays, but can't wait to see the young WR's develop. TE Davis is quickly working his way down the rotation. Love C. Jones and C. Slayton, hope they find a way on the practice squad.

Too early to crown Doubs, probably, but he should be on everyone's radar by now.
Tyler Davis is playing himself down the depth chart, if not off the team.
Brkic who?
Ramiz Ahmed seemed to get stronger on kickoffs as the game progressed. FGs looked great.
Still some concerns on kickoff coverage, Saints chewed up some big yards on returns.

Concur on Jordan Love - looked very good until the rain made things a bit slippery and was adequate during the inclement conditions. No interceptions! Chris Slayton may well make this roster. He was lights out tonight with great effort, constant pressure on the QB and solid against the run. Very impressive performance.

Additions to Aaron's comments: (1) The Packers have a damn good punter and NO has a better one. (2) Our kickoff coverage teams still look pretty crappy.

Edit: Rewatched the game and Nijman was impressive at LT. After both SF and NO, I will be okay if Nijman is our starting tackle. I would like to see Bahk back as the Packers apparently only have two tackles on their current roster - Nijman and Jenkins, but Nijman is solid. CVL also looked good at LG last night. He and Nijman were opening holes in the run game last night.

Zach Tom was pushed around like a rag doll all night. Seldom have I seen a guy pushed so far so often. Caleb Jones should be the RT in Jenkins absence and Newman stay at G.

Tyler Davis dropped a sitter last week and a bread and butter one today and hasn’t been a good blocker. He was poor during the scrimmages too. Sorry, he’s not the answer I thought he might be.

Amari Rodgers is a gadget player not a receiver. I’d rather use Goodson in that role, better hands and catch radius and a better runner.

Scott’s injury did not look good. Abernathy deserves more looks.

Coco seemed to have a good game. Perhaps he is a viable option.

Good breakdown Nags.

Good to see some under the radar Packers emerge.
No injuries suffered to the top 50 players. Great night.

I hope Tyler Davis got an engineering degree in his time at GT, cuz he's gonna need it.

I hope Tyler Davis got an engineering degree in his time at GT, cuz he's gonna need it.

I'm interested in what other fans here at CHTV have to say as to why Goodson seemed so much better running the ball in the first half than Taylor.

Realizing ST don't happen over night please just better better than average and that would be huge. Like Doubs seems like the kind of kid that will really enjoy watching as we go forward nice draft choice

Thanks for your gut reaction Aaron.

I'm OK with Jordan Love. progress is visible and is large from game to game he is playing. This time his long balls had a lot of zip, which was not like that in his last week game. Some low passes was a little bit either to short or to low. He will need to correct that. 2 roughing the passer penalties showed that he is not afraid of defenders closing to him. Both passes was not precise, obviously influenced by the contact. TD throw was beauty and perfect use of Romeo Doubs quickness that caused defender to place his back from where the pass is coming.

Winfree was running precisely and help Jordan to hit at the right time. Romeo had one misunderstanding with Jordan Love on 3rd and long when he obviously expected ball on back shoulder, but he had empty field in front of him and it was logical to throw pass to lead him further to the end zone than one who will lead him out of the field. Toure had nice catch in the slot. Tyler Davis has a problem. He looked overmatched and not completely concentrated on the game. He will probably end at PS or will be released. TE Sal Cannella showed up with nice catch of very complicated pass.

Both RB (Taylor and Goodson) was active, but Goodson obviously has better hand for pass. Taylor had a problem with not adequate OL blocking that was not able to open holes. I do not know if the problem was Zach Tom or some somebody else or Tom and somebody else, but there was no much room for running while Taylor was playing.

Second half OL looked better, but they were playing against weaker opponents. Danny Etling is interesting back up QB who shows his experience and quickness. I agree with Aaron his TD was amusing (in positive way).

Okay...So EXACTLY what did Gute and the rest of the Packers front office see in Tyler Davis?

I mean he's been so bad I actually felt sorry for him. Well, at least I did until the Saints scored 3 plays later.

More Danny Etling. - This guy can read a defense. What a great run.

A few players who I thought stood out.

Tyler Goodson. He had a few nice runs but he also caught a pass out of the backfield. Packers will have some difficult choices at RB.

Isiah McDuffie. Guy played like his hair was on fire. Loved it. He gave me more to look at last night then Oren Burks gave us in 4 seasons.

Micah Abernathy. No idea who he is but he made some effort plays.

Doubs and Winfree both showed flashes. I think both will contribute this season.

Bad.

Tyler Davis. He should burn the film now. A bad holding penalty. A second turnover in two games. Practice is one thing. GameDay is another. Just watched a replay and LaFleur’s facial expression after the fumble seemed telling. He was not happy.

Special Teams. Please God, I’m begging. Still a work in progress.

Lots of Love haters out there. I don't get it. Pregame, I watched an NFL Network assessment of the Packers. One guy said the Pack will be lucky to win the NFC North, as they will lose to the vikings in week one and then to several other teams, this season. The Bills, Phillie, Splits with every team in our division, and a loss to the Bucs. One guy said we could go close to .500. A lot of that talk was because we do not have Davante, anymore. Fools do not really follow the Packers, but feed off of their own and other non-followers' remarks.The NFL Industrial complex, so to speak. Pack is gonna kick butt, this season. GO PACK, GO!!!

Love at this point is adequate. Will not win a lot of championships with him unless lot more improvement. Davis gone wit next cuts! Still like Etling probably PS if not claimed by someone else. Tyler and Goodson interesting to see in next preseason game, should decide who makes the team from this last game. Abernathy and McDuffie look solid.

Tell you what it is so fun watching the young talent either for the first time, or seeing players developing into good players.

First, I just have to start off with Jordan Love as this guy is a gamer and his ceiling keeps growing. You can just see the confidence and development. Jordan still needs a lot more experience in regular season games to fully develop but he is well on his way. He looks like he is going to be a very good QB for the GBP's. His draft selection was questioned and dissected many times but Gutey appears to have another success in his bag. Jordan's development & continued development is huge not only for the Packers this season should Rodgers get hurt, but for the next 10-15 years. I think we may have another very good QB on our hands and he is just 23-years of age.

I'm really liking this Goodson kid! Think CW's comments about him as a receiving running back, or in the slot might be a good move. Wondering how this all plays out with Taylor, and Hill?

Wyatt did not show me anything in the game. Has he not fully recovered? Quay has a lot of development to go yet. Both of them do! I tell you I have become a big believer of Chris Slayton. Guy has to be on the team no matter what as he deserves it. Summers has to go but McDuffie is a gamer. Kinglsley has some game and is looking like a steal in the 5th round. Did not really notice Jonathan Ford.

I like SJC and Nixon and this Abernathy plays with his hair on fire. Abernathy has to play all of next weeks game as he sure seems like he has the talent and Gutey needs to find out if last nights game was for real or not.

OL is going to be very interesting like we have been discussing for months with Jenkins back now and DB....when? Jones is a monster and an intriguing long-term prospect but where is there room for him? Just wondering a lot of about Rhyan. Tom is doing okay, but don't ever recall seeing Walker.

Can't wait until Tonyan comes back because the Pack really needs him!!!

At WR sure there were a lot of drops (partially because of rain) but boy the Packers have some good young WR's. As I told everyone after the Friday Night Scrimmage....Doubs just has it! All you have to do is watch him and I know it seems sappy but his style of game reminds me a lot of Adams. He is going to be a very excellent WR. I really like Toure and too bad he dropped that beautiful 35-yard pass along the left sidelines. Same with Doubs on right sidelines during the first drive. Winfree belongs and is just a steady and heady player. These three are only going to continue to improve and we still don't have Watson on the field. An abundance of riches even though these players have a long way to go in their development but by game 10 you are going to see very different players than you saw last night.

The Packers really do have a deep team with a lot of good young talent. Gutey continues to stock pile talent and hopefully this is the year, but if it isn't the team is built to be successful for quite a few more years.

Here were my impressions following the game:
- Micah Abernathy, with a TFL and pick, looked very good. Would not be surprised to see him make the roster as a 4th or 5th safety. Encouraging that he’s making players with our lack of depth there.
- Jordan Love made better decisions and looked better. Can definitely see lots of potential.
- Goodson had an amazing night tonight; he’s got excellent burst and is fast. Taylor looked solid.
- Doubs needs to be more consistent, but the big plays are hard to ignore. Excited for what he can be. Winfrey had a nice night too.
- Chris Slayton also looked good tonight too. The rest of the d-line and OLBs, though, were not great. They couldn’t put consistent pressure on the QB or finish a sack (this is what happened last year when Gary and Smith weren’t on the field). Enagbare has lots of potential, but needs work. This is why the Packers should sign Jason Pierre Paul before the season starts.
- It was fun to watch Amari Rodgers on all of the gadget plays tonight. Excited to see how he develops as a receiver. Did not agree with the refs overturning that catch, though.
- Caleb Jones looked good, Zach Tom looked OK, and Sean Ryan didn’t look good.
- I felt bad for Tyler Davis. He might not make the roster.
- Kabion Ento had a nice night. Walker showcased his incredible athleticism, and Wyatt was mostly quiet.
- McDuffie and Barnes both look great. The Packers have excellent depth at ILB.
- The Long Snapping wasn’t an issue, which is good, and Ramos Ahmed looked good too. STs are still a work in progress though.
- I hope the Pack keeps Etling around. He’s a fun guy.
- it was funny to see Jack Heflin almost play CB. Welcome to the Preseason!

" Light years ahead"

Has Gute found another gem in Abernathy? Man, this guy looked totally prepared with the pick and snuffing out that screen. Also, nice fumble return from S Davis. I feel a little bit better about the backup safety situation now.

Not an overwhelming stat sheet from Love, but he made some fine throws; and no INTs. Goodson vs. Taylor is going to be a tough upcoming decision for Gute, but I would think Taylor might still have the edge.

Too bad we can't clone Doubs' hands and glue them on Tyler Davis, who apparently was absent from AR's motivational meeting. Davis is playing his way right off the team.

The broadcaster was funny doing his Chris Berman home run impersonation on the long Saints punt, "...sending Amari back, back, back, back...." I don't think I've ever seen a returner run so far backwards.

Bisaccia needs to find the right combination for kick coverage. Back to the drawing board!

Trying to add a few points to the good stuff above:

- I like John Kuhn as the analyst / color commentator. Smooth, insightful, some humor.
- Love looked good. The stats don't show much, but he looked better, pretty solid.
- McDuffie made some plays. From the 6th round... good for Gute.
- Doubs looks great for a 4th rounder in his first pre-season. He'll probably have a few rookie moments this year, but I bet he'll be on the field a lot.
- Amari... wasn't bad. He still needs to show something next week.

I watched the replay of the game. My observations.
1. Love looked a lot better. More confident. Yes his passes could be sharper but so could his receivers.
2. Doubs needs the ball to be perfect. He has struggled adjusting to that not perfect in your palms pass. My opine of him is not settled yet.
3. Keep the young kicker say adios to the old guy it's time.
4. Abernathy looks good tackling and anticipating action. cudos to him.
5. No 72, 6'8 345. love it. we can find a place for a mountain can't we.
6. Amari still doesn't get it, running to the 12 when you can take a knee and get to the 25? Hey pal you ain't that good.
7. Davis, time to say goodbye. looks lost.
8. Dexter is too old, keep the youth from Iowa.
