It's been a few days since the Packers and Browns tangled in Green Bay's first preseason game.  I had a chance to watch the rebroadcast and review the game a second time.  I'll provide a few observations here as well as what I'm looking for during the rest of camp.

They're getting Jason Spriggs ready as quickly as possible.  I mentioned how invested the Packers should be in his success on PackersTalk.com just a few weeks ago as part of the "5 Guys that Have to be Good" series.  McCarthy and the offensive staff used Spriggs early and often, as the second round pick from Indiana was allowed to play 45 snaps.

Look for Spriggs to continue to get a high volume of snaps as the Packers take what a lot of evaluators called a "raw" prospect and try to get him as ready to back up both tackle spots as quickly as possible.  According to what we saw at the end of last season, JC Tretter is at least passable as a backup tackle, but Spriggs is the big investment, and the player that they seem keen on preparing, not to mention that Tretter currently has responsibilities at center.

Geronimo!!!! Geronimo Allison looked very impressive in full pads during a competitive game.  His size is noticeable, especially when compared to the current crop of Packers receivers. Allison has been pushing for a roster spot in camp, and did not disappoint against the Browns, showing the ability to run crisp routes.

I've long compared receiving groups (admittedly stolen from Aaron Schatz at Football Outsiders) to basketball teams.  Good groups have different positions/body types.  Randall Cobb and Ty Montgomery are the point guards, but the rest of the receivers that look to make the team are "wing" players more than anything else.  Allison could really provide the first post-up presence that the Packers have had at the receiver position since Ruvell Martin.

I'm impressed with the edge defenders.  For a team that had incredible amounts of success in the early 2010s employing street free agents across the formation from Clay Matthews, this is a deep and diverse group of edge rushers.  I think they very much have the capability to be the best group of outside rushers that the Packers have had during Capers' time with the team.

It was hard not to be impressed with "non-starters" Nick Perry, Datone Jones, Kyler Fackrell and Jayrone Elliot.  In fact, those four players seem like a useful enough rotation to "get by" in the NFL.  The fact that Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers start over them is truly the icing on the cake.  Don't be surprised on passing downs to see Perry, Jones and Peppers rushing from the inside as Matthews and another rusher scream around the edge.

Time to get Hundley back.  Poor quarterback play makes the entire offense difficult to evaluate.  Joe Callahan's final 16/23 line looks fine and dandy but that's less than 5.4 yards per attempt, which is absolutely abysmal.  Even Callahan's touchdown pass was a pitch and catch flat route to a wide open John Crockett (who had to make a minor adjustment to catch the ball).  Marquise Williams is more of an athlete at this point than a quarterback, and while I feel that there is worthwhile time to be spent developing him, at this point he's not helpful.

Brett Hundley needs reps and the Packers need Brett Hundley to get reps.  Hundley just might be one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the NFL, and Green Bay needs him to be ready in case something happens to Rodgers, but also to give the first and second string offense a real look.  I very much appreciate the Packers keeping Rodgers away from harm in the preseason, but they do need to use Hundley heavily if they're going to do that.

Carl Bradford looked pretty good. That's all I have to say about that.
