The ONE (only one) Thing You Want to See in Tonight's Packers Game
By JerseyAl
It. Is. Time. The Packers' 2017 season gets underway with tonight's first Preseason game. If you're thinking about tonight's Packers Preseason game, what is the ONE thing (only one - play the game right or don't play at all!) that YOU are most interested in seeing?
I put the question to twitter and interestingly, no one mentioned what is MY one top thing I want to see. Let's see if any of you get it.
Here were some of the twitter answers.
No stretchers or carts.

Just one? I wanna see #Winnipegger Geoff Gray play. @AaronNagler has remarked on how well the #Canadian is doing.

I want to see the young WRs - Dupre, Yancey, McCaffrey, etc. - compete for a spot on the 53-man roster.

Philly has a first-rate O-line. I'm hoping we see their starters at least for a little while. That would be a good measuring stick on where the pass rush is at.

ok. If I had to pick 1 thing I want to see tonight.
Its the rookie RB's.
This will be the first time that they will see live tackling. We basically know what we have in Ty. But during a season you have to have 2-3-4 RB's that can play because they take a pounding. This will be our first true look at the rookie RB's that will be asked to contribute.

I want to see Dean Lowery wreak some havoc. The Packers have been trying to find a DE to compliment Daniels for years, and I think Lowery could be the guy. He was great on family night and all reports from camp are that he's taken a big jump.
I don't trust our OLB's to get consistent pass rush, so we need to get some from the inside.

Would like to see some solid play (improvement) from our DB'S and no injuries.

Someone already said pass rush, so I'll say Max McCaffery. For all the attention Clark is getting, and Janis gets, McCaffery has similar height to Janis, fantastic timed speed, and has become the favorite of the backup QBs in practice. I'd like to see how he performs against an opposing defense. I'd also like to see if he can replace Janis as a gunner on special teams. If he can do well in those aspects then he is my favorite for the 7th WR spot.

I'm just curious because I haven't heard, but can McCaffrey return at all? I don't recall him given any return opportunities.
If he could be another option as a Kick returner or used on special teams he could very well replace Janis.

Dunno. Fair question.

Besides pass rush and improved defensive back play, I want to see the defense not give up and plays longer than 20 yards.

Hundley. If he lights it up, may get 2nd round interest. Baltimore? Denver? Jets?

If Hundley has a big preseason, and maybe a little solid regular season work, he'd likely bring a first rounder. Big demand for young, talented quarterbacks.

I want to see Frack man and Elliott in their pass rush first and foremost. The RB/WR battles will also be great to see, but as Curley says "that one thing that you have to have" Pass Rush! and of course GOLD.

I'd like to see a couple different guys bring a pass rush. Lowry, Gilbert, Calvin, show us what you got.

I want to see MM get good looks from players. So what if our 2nd-18th string plays better than theirs. I want to see our backups get solid reps against a quality opponent. Put third stringers against Philly starters and 2nd string, etc. Let's see who can play. This talent evaluation process is one of the ways MM and TT separate themselves from other teams. As a coach myself, I'm paying attention to how he gets it done.
