It looked like real football even if it was the Packers first preseason game.  Many of you watched this game.  How do your eyes match up with this sampling of tweets by media observers?

Injuries, Usage, Formations, Personnel:

• LB Oren Burks just came out of the medical tent with a wrap on his left shoulder.  Heilprin
• Eq St. Brown is in the medical tent. Demovsky
• Packers not in uniform that just walked out: Z. Smith, P. Smith, Linsley, Turner, Amos, Graham, F. Brown, J. Williams, Lewis, Roberts, Bakhtiari, Bulaga. There are more, but I forgot binoculars.  Schneidman [26 players did not suit up.]
• Was a little surprised Ty Summers got the start over James Crawford. With Burks out, Crawford now in beside the seventh-round rookie Summers.  Wood
• Josh Jones isn't playing tonight. That's interesting. Don't think he has an injury.  [Later] LaFleur said Josh Jones didn't play because he had a "little nagging injury."  Kruse
• It seems as if the unofficial depth chart was true. Three receiver sets are Kumerow, Allison, and MVS. All ahead of EQ for now it would seem.  Herman
• starting offense: QB: Kizer OL: Light, Taylor, Patrick, McCray, de Beer WR: Allison, MVS TE: Bayliss FB: Vitale RB: Carson  Wood
• Defensive starters: DL: 96 95 90 ILB: 42 44 OLB: 51 52 S: 26 36 CB: 28 29  Demovsky  [OK, I’ll translate for the lazy: Keke, Lancaster, Adams; Burks, Summers; Fackrell, Gary; Savage, Greene; Tony Brown, Hollman.]

Quarterbacks and WRs:

• It took Boyle all of 5 passes to lead the NFL in touchdown passes. On 8/8 nonetheless.  Herman
• [OTOH] Joe Webb currently leads the NFL in passing yards.  Schneidman
• That was a really nice throw while on the run and with a guy in his face from Boyle.  Nagler
• Boyle’s two downfalls can be accuracy and throwing into coverage but my goodness does he have a live arm, moxy, confidence, and raw ability.  Herman
• That was a really nice job by Kizer not only stepping up in the pocket but also keeping his eyes downfield. Big time play for DeShone and even a bigger catch from Shepherd. He’s at minimum a lock for the p/s.  Herman
• Now THAT was a fantastic play by Kizer, navigating the pocket, keeping his eyes downfield, and finding Shepard late for the TD.  Nagler
• Confident throw with a man in his face on third down from Kizer for a 1st down. Those are the flashes he shows.  Herman
• You often hear about the many systems Kizer has had to learn, and there's something to that, but at some point, a slant is a slant. A dig is a dig. A check down is a check down. You can either hit them consistently or you can't. He can't.  Nagler
• DeShone Kizer's first half numbers actually weren't bad: 8-of-13 for 102 yards and a TD without a turnover. But he missed some routine throws and almost got rookie WR Darrius Shepherd hurt on the touchdown with a high throw.  Demovsky
• Be decisive. Kizer had Vitale open right away. Hesitated.  Kruse
• Fantastic snag by Kumerow on 3rd down. Nice zip from Kizer  Nagler
• Was just about to tweet how EQ didn't get his hands up on that third down, ball hitting him right in the chest, and then that play happens. Nice awareness from EQ, who jumped on that muff for the TD.  Wood
• Kumerow already with 2 catches. Such a natural catcher.  Herman
• Man I love Lazard, I just don't see how there is room for him. Thought he was super draftable his year.  Uglem
• A little double catch but that’ll do. Hopefully that’s the breakthrough play.  (B) J’Mon just has 0 confidence. Really hope he can get it together soon but this has been a brutal start.  (C) Oh no J’Mon.  (D) Moore big in-breaking route - stumbles out of his break and misses a chance at a big gain. Now he drops a catchable pass that was obviously behind him. Just has been that kind of career for the talented 2nd year player so far.  Herman [Pieced multiple tweets together.]

Tight Ends:

• There's Robert Tonyan. A 23-yard completion. Nice, athletic play. He's made plays all offseason.  Wood

Running Backs:

• Dexter Williams has 62 yards on 14 carries (4.4 avg) tonight. He's looked quick through the hole. Overall, solid. He also forgot to run onto the field to cover a punt, forcing a timeout. So the rookie has a teachable moment.  Wood
• Great job by Dexter Williams getting just enough of the defender to give Boyle time on that TD throw.  Nagler
• Dexter Williams was thisclose to breaking that. Nice burst through a big hole.  Wood

Defensive Backs:

• What a fricken camp by Chandon Sullivan. Made my standout list in camp multiple times, now he skies for a pick. He’s been great. Herman
• I can’t believe how good Ka’Dar Hollman is.  Nagler
• Really good play from Kabion Ento. Will Redmond was late coming over to help, putting Ento all alone down the left sideline. Ento got a piece of that Joe Webb pass to force incompletion. He used his size well against the sideline.  Wood

Safety:

• Fantastic play by Raven Greene to strip the ball out on that fumble. 2nd year jump for him has been impressive.  Herman
• Really nice work by Raven Greene there to not only force the run back inside, but to also make the tackle.  Nagler
• Another missed tackle by Natrell Jamerson.  Kruse [Editorial: yup, a couple at least.]

Linebackers:

• Summers coming down to earth. Missed tackle earlier. Last play he got washed out by the lineman, now he overruns the play. Lots of ups and downs for the rookie. Talent is evident.  Herman
• Summers: "It seems like a good night, but when I know that I should’ve had probably about four more (tackles), that’s frustrating."  Wood
• Great read and tackle by Summers. Packers have a keeper. His sideline to sideline speed in practice has been legit.  Herman
• Ty Summers has had a really good night. That play, he'll want to forget. Had Cullen Gillaspia in the open field. Couldn't tackle him. First down.  Wood
• Oren Burks took the bait on the PA fake.  Kruse
• OLB Randy Ramsey is a tremendous athlete. Just showed it there. Completely unblocked, which is obviously a big deal. Still, he can move.  Wood
• Defense had lots of opportunities to get off the field. Missed tackles by Gilbert & Summers on 3rd downs and Lancaster on the touchdown ultimately lead to the Texans getting on the board & tying the game.  Herman

Kicker/STs:

• First punt from JK Scott: 44-yard punt with a 4.44-second hang time, mirroring yardage and hang just like Scott wants. Just a 2-yard return.  Wood  [Editorial: Still looking for a tweet on the 51-yarder that seemed to have no hang time and was returned 20+ yards.  Coaches looking for consistency from Scott.]
• Surround yourself in life with people who get as excited as Rob Demovsky and Bill Huber just did when they got the exact same punt hangtime on their stopwatches in the fourth quarter of a Week 1 preseason game.  Schneidman [Editorial: that’s fine, but I’d rather know what the hang time on that punt was!!! Arggh]
• Teo Redding fumbles the kickoff and Texans recover at Packers’ 28-yard line. Not great for a guy outside the roster bubble.  Schneidman

Offensive/Defensive Line:

• Brady Sheldon had a chance to tackle Damarea Crockett in the backfield. Slipped off him. Touchdown.  Wood
• James Looney has done some nice things tonight.  Nagler
• Kingsley Keke flashes again. Strong game for him. Needs to work on finishing but tip your cap to Webb too.  Herman
• Kingsley Keke is a player.  Nagler
• rookie Rashan Gary got sucked inside on that run, leaving open the perimeter. Can't do that.  Wood
• Rashan Gary had one impressive speed rush against the Left Tackle.  Eye in the Sky
• On third-and-14, Texans left a TE in initially to chip block Rashan Gary. They've noticed him in practice too.  Wood
• (On Rashan Gary) Hard to say until I go back and look, but I've seen him slip twice while trying to work a stunt. Other than that, just lots of power rushes that go nowhere.  Nagler
• de Beer with de Hold.  Nagler
• Gerhard de Beer got bull-rushed onto the ground.  Kruse
• Alex Light with the holding call. Both tackles have a holding penalty and we're 3:30 into the game.  Silverstein [ticky tacky call, per Nagler and Kruse]
• That's a soft holding call on Alex Light. Looked like a pretty good block on Whitney Mercilus.  Kruse
• Very interesting storyline that Lane Taylor is getting quite a bit of playing time here when the rest of the 1st string is out. Worth noting.  Herman
• Can tell Yosh Nijman has a bunch of natural talent. Might be worth developing for a team without much at OT.  Kruse
• "Yeah, that's a competition." LaFleur on Lane Taylor playing tonight. Sounds like RG is going to be an ongoing evaluation. Thinks Taylor played well tonight.  Herman

Overall/Miscellaneous:

• For those asking, Hollman, Summers, and Dexter had some nice plays but had some plays they’d like to have back too. Good starts for all 3 but still work to do.  Herman
• Packers ran mesh and scored a touchdown on a broken play. The McCarthy era is over. We are free. FREE.  Justis Mosqueda
• Hell of a drive for the young Packers defense. Montravius Adams pressure, Ka’Dar Hollman INT, Ty Summers all over the damn place. That’ll do.  Herman
• Yes, that is Texans star and Wisconsin native J.J. Watt playing catch with fans in the stands.  Wood
• Tonight’s standouts at first glance: Kingsley Keke Tim Boyle Allen Lazard James Looney Montravius Adams Raven Greene Jake Kumerow Darrius Shepherd Chandon Sullivan Randy Ramsey.  Herman
