Packers Question of the Day - Players to Watch Tonight

As the Packers gear up to remain home for their second (should be third, but we won't get into that) preseason game, fans all across the world are in collective celebration.

Jordy Nelson has now been activated from the physically unable to perform list, much to the chagrin of the teams on the Packers' 2016 season schedule. If you were betting that he'd play tonight against the Raiders, you should probably retract said bet. Same can be said about Aaron Rodgers suiting up to take the field.

With Brett Hundley likely to get the start barring no roadblocks, an aggressive punting competition heating up between Tim Masthay and Peter Mortell and the pass rush looking to set the tone once again, who are your players to watch tonight?

I am ready going to have the game on and root for my team. It should be an exciting next 3 games to see who makes the team.

The ones to watch:

If past history is relevant, the players who stand out are ones most don't know about.

OAK passing offense will good test for as long as they keep #1s on the field. OAK defense could be a nice test for our OL. Both teams will wish for no injuries.

Tonight will be similar to last week for me.

I want to see the rookies first. See which ones standout.
Second I want to see the 2nd and 3rd year players. seeing if they are going to take a step.

As far as individuals I am looking forward to seeing Burks, Allison, Davis, Backman on offense. Defense Martinez, Thomas, Bradford and Brice.

Last week Burks, Thomas, Bradford and Brice really stood out to me. I want to see how they look this week.

NOWWWWW we can put a spotlight on our young WRs. Tonight should be fun.

I'm also checking for consistency from Clark and Lowry. They both had some damn good plays and some bad plays.

It's nice to have a dozen or more young players looking to lock down a roster spot. TT definitely does a nice job bringing in UDFA every year. That may be true for all teams, I just don't know. Maybe there's an unlimited supply of players one small step below NFL level. Remember Plan B games? Forrest Gregg enjoyed coaching those kids so much he gave up coaching soon thereafter. :)

After what I saw in person on monday, I'm all about looking for Brian Price (#96) at the nose.

Clark, of course, too. He looked like a rookie DT on monday. Just looking for improvement.

I know everyone likes Burks, but Brandon Ross was making plays all over on monday as well.
