Preseason Recap: Chiefs Down Packers 17-13

in Green Bay Packers Games

PrintIn their final preseason game, the Green Bay Packers rested their starters. From the Journal-Sentinel:
Packers coach Mike McCarthy treated the affair with disinterest, not even putting uniforms on Rodgers, Ryan Grant or Charles Woodson. In all, the Packers played without 12 players (seven starters) from a 75-man roster that must be pared to a final 53 by 3 p.m. Saturday.
So with the roster cutdown to the maximum 53 players coming on Saturday, it was a good opportunity for the backups to play, and the players that want to be the backups to win a spot on the roster.
Again, staying healthy is always important. The Journal-Sentinel reports that only LS Brett Goode was injured and did not return when he took a shot to the head. It's not major if he is lost for any length of time, but it might become complicated since they might need to find an interim replacement. I'm sure someone like C Scott Wells is given practice time in case of an emergency, but they don't want him to become the primary long-snapper.
Here are how some of the players did on Thursday night:
Disclaimer - I did not watch all of the game yet, so I'm not mentioning everyone. Just some of the players I actually saw.
QB Matt Flynn. He got to play nearly the entire game and threw for over 304 yards. He's looked better this preseason which is to be expected as he gets more experience. He doesn't look as good as QB Aaron Rodgers did in 2007 (when Rodgers was entering his 3rd season) but he looks pretty good considering some of the players around him.
OL Chris Campbell. Speaking of Flynn's teammates, I don't expect Campbell will remain one for long. At 6'5" and 327 lbs. he does have an NFL body. But he doesn't move fast enough laterally to handle NFL pass rushers. When playing left guard, he was caught flat-footed on an inside move and Flynn got sacked. Later while playing right tackle, the defender quickly ran around him and QB Graham Harrell went running. He was probably the main cause why a couple drives stalled. It's hard for the backup QBs to prove anything when lineman play like he does.
The Packers secondary. What I like about Flynn is his willingness to throw down field and his accuracy. He does open it up. Unlike Chiefs backup QB Bradie Croyle, who seemed to either throw the ball out of bounds or dump it off to his tight end. The backup secondary only allowed 177 yards passing, but it was more through inactivity than effectiveness. Also, some poor tackling led to some bigger plays for the Chiefs.
WR Jason Chery. After running a punt return for a TD last week, he was given an extended look in this game. He proceeded to fumble once and almost a second time. He's got some potential, but I expect they'll cut him lose on Saturday because they can't rely on him to hold onto the ball.
WR Brett Swain. He had the big play with a 77 yard pass reception, but the Chiefs botched the coverage, and left him wide, wide open as he ran down the field. Not a exactly sure that play makes a big difference in their decision.
RB Kregg Lumpkin. He's a good runner when healthy, but he's had trouble staying healthy. And FB John Kuhn was given a few chances spelling Lumpkin, and they seemed like similar players. Plus Kuhn plays a big role on special team, and of course, as a full back. I bet they keep only two RBs and pencil in Kuhn as the emergency RB so they can justify keeping three full backs, again.

Preseason game!
You can sure tell that it was a preseason game…3 times the Packers were deep in Chiefs territory but elected to go for it on 4th down. This is 9 points the Packers would have had and could have won the game for them but they felt the 4th down practice was needed more than Crosby needing to practice field goals inside 35 yards. Preseason stinks and I can’t wait to see only 2 games and 18 regular season ones. Players don’t like it??? Quit your bitchin’ and earn your millions like a man!!!
Not to mention what makes football special
relative to basketball and baseball. Adding more games to the football season dilutes the importance of the outcome of one game.
Yes, your argument is much more factually based
1) More regular season games will dilute the importance of one game. That is a fact, not an opinion. 18 games vs. 16 games means that each game is worth 87.5% of a game previously.
For me, part of the adrenaline rush of each week of the regular season is living and dying by whether the Packers win that week because each game is crucial. Granted, with 18 games each game will still be “crucial”, but not as much as if there were only 16 games, and some of that edge will be taken away.
2) More players are going to get injured. Remember how you said that “REAL football is always better!!!”? Let me ask you this, do you consider it “REAL” football when a team is forced to play scrubs at key positions? It’s not entertainment when teams are forced to play back-ups. The reason people prefer the NFL over NCAA football is that the level of play is the NFL is the best in the world. Which game is going to have higher ratings (and be more entertaining): A week 16 matchup between teams on the cusp of the play-offs with their starters dinged up but still able to play or a week 18 matchup with both teams playing backup QB’s and o-lines? That’s a no brainer to me.
So if you consider games that are less important with inferior players “REAL” football, then I guess we’re going to have to agree to disagree here.
Towlieppan: "You wanna throw high?"
1. So you prefer having 4 meaningless football games and 16 real as opposed to 2 meaningles and 18 Real ones? I REALLY doubt that…
2. with the longer schedule will come increased roster sizes! So the injury part of the equation gets thrown out the window. THat makes the team w/ the best front offices better equipped to have even deeper rosters, and when injuryies occur, the teams w/ the best GM’s are at an advantage! That makes it more likely the Packers will benefit!! And help put them in position to win more SB’s!
I know for a FACT that I won’t feel like the 2 extra games are less meaningful! We still only play 1 game per week. It won’t be watered down like say Basketball, Hockey and Baseball!!! I guess you’ll have to live w/ cheering 12.5% less hard each week!!! LMAO Cuz its 18 games is going to happen!!! Me, I’ll still be cheering just as hard each week!
Yes, actually I do prefer to have 4 "meaningless" football games
I’d like the FO to have all that time to properly evaluate the talent that we have on our roster so they can make appropriate roster decisions going into the regular season. You can spout any kind of bs about how they still have practices or scrimmages to determine who should stay, but there is no substitute for game situations to see what they’re really made of.
How many people that had successful pro football careers would not have made it if there had only been 2 pre-season games. Keep in mind that that is essentially ONE GAME to evaluate talent since one of those games would most likely be used like week 3 of the preseason now as a tune-up for the regular season.
The injury equation doesn’t get “thrown out the window.” Nothing you said right there refuted my point that elite talent is going to get hurt and lower the level of play in the NFL, which is bad for the game and (what the owners should be concerned about) BAD FOR BUSINESS!! You think people are going to be willing to spend money on teams late in the season when their starting roster has been shelled?
And even if rosters do expand, then teams add people that are buried on the depth charts 4+ guys deep, guys that should be somewhere else (like the UFL) are not going to elevate the level of play in the NFL. I don’t know about you, but there are few things that frustrate me more than seeing poor play in the NFL (one of the reasons I can’t stand Jarrett Bush). That’s only going to increase with “expanded rosters”. This really isn’t that much different from teams picking up street free agents in the middle of the season.
Towlieppan: "You wanna throw high?"
Again, the teams w/ the best talent evaluators and FO will be at an advantage, if there is less time to evaluate, which I don’t think will be the case… Just means that teams will have scrimmages vs other teams more often.
You can spout off all you like too, but 2 more meaningful games won’t change a thing for me… Well except that it’ll be better!
How is there not less time to evaluate?
There is 67% less preseason action for guys trying to make the team to make an impression on the coaching staff. A scrimmage is not the same thing. If you’ve ever competed in a sport, I don’t know how you can say that a scrimmage is the same thing as game action.
Let me make this comparison: Two years ago a team drafted two quarterbacks in the draft. One of them impressed the coaches in practice, the other performed much better in preseason action. Which one did the team keep? That’s right, they kept the guy that performed in game action: Matt Flynn. Under the proposal of a 2-game preseason I’d say that Flynn is most likely not a member of the Green Bay Packers today, and we would be searching for a backup quarterback that didn’t make Tavaris Jackson look like Dan Marino.
Maybe the best FO does have the advantage there, but that’s no different from right now. Look at the Saints, they’re able to find all kinds of undrafted guys that make solid contributions to teams, while the Raiders are, well, the Raiders.
I’ve pretty much resigned myself to the fact that 18 games is going to happen, but I think it is a HUGE mistake by the league. Just because the NFL is popular now doesn’t mean it has to stay popular.
Towlieppan: "You wanna throw high?"
Same amt of practice time. Add another scrimmage or two for evaluations and its still the teams w/ the best talent evaluators who win.
I could tell pretty early that Flynn was outplaying Brohm.
Yes, the best FO do have an advantage now. It also will enhance that advantage!
Yes, you could tell Flynn was outplaying Brohm
because there were sufficient pre-season games.
Anyways, clearly neither of us is changing the other’s view point. You say San Diego means a whale’s vagina, I say it means Saint Diego. Agree to disagree.
Towlieppan: "You wanna throw high?"
Flynn was outplaying Brohm in OTA's
preseason game just confirmed it, and by the 2nd one too…
Agree to disagree.
I'm with you here Greg
We had this debate in a different Fanpost though. You can’t really change too many minds on this subject though, it’s a tricky one. I want everything to remain for the same reasons as you: I want every team to have enough time to properly evaluate all of its players and make the right decision.
As polls indicated: 50% of the fans and the media want 2 more Regular Season Games, and 2 fewer Preseason Games.
The other 50% of fans, and all 32 NFL teams want to keep everything the same.
Poll was done by ESPN.
"No player is greater than a team."
-Vince Lombardi
Actually
to be exact, it was 51% want everything the same.
49% want 18 Game Regular Season, 2 Preseason Games.
Not that this really means anything in this argument, just for those that are curious.
"No player is greater than a team."
-Vince Lombardi
The people that run the teams want 18 games too...
And really they are the only ones, other than the NFLPA, that matters!
Analysis
I’m definately more comfortable with Flynn as the backup QB. He is really improving. He’s far from perfect though as he did miss several opportunities to move the chains where WR’s were open. Flynn has to make those throws! I felt bad for Graham Harrell. He missed a couple throws, but with all the changes on the OL, he had no time to throw and when he did throw, the WR’s kept dropping them when they were right in the numbers! Most noticably that West guy. You could see the frustration on Harrell’s face and we can conclude that West will not make this team (nor did I think he would before this game).
Marhsall Newhouse struggled in this game, but his performances in the prior weeks should override this one. After all, we knew he was a project from the get go. Newhouse should make the team. Breno played most of the game at RT, with a few reps at RG. I imagine the extensive time was to boost his trade value. We could see him gone within the next couple days via trade. Campbell and Dietrich-Smith struggled all game.
Chery didn’t do himself many favors in this game with the ball being put on the ground twice. No flashy returns, but he had no where to go either. The ST coverage was AWFUL! If Swain wasn’t prone to injuries it would be a no brainer that he makes the roster. He has really come along as a WR to compliment his abilities on ST. The question is: will he stay healthy? I think we should keep him on though. I liked his effort on his big play as he was playing through an injury. He’s really trying and is dedicated.
Havner and Crabtree didn’t do much as a TE on pass routes. Havner at least caught a couple passes, but didn’t get any YAC. My hunch is Havner makes the team over Crabtree considering his ST abilities, and that is if the team decides to cut one of its TE’s.
Shields and Bush were outstanding at the CB position. I was very impressed with both of them. Hopefully the team overlooks this one good performance in Preseason of Bush to finally make the decision to cut him though! Pat Lee and the LB’s struggled mightily. Most of KC’s passing plays were dump offs to the RB’s, and the LB’s did not cover them well. While I don’t fault the OLB’s too much on this as they were rushing the QB’s and the OT’s were not moving out in a designed screen, I do blame the ILB’s as they need to hold up on their assignments better.
"No player is greater than a team."
-Vince Lombardi
Bush's INT
was not the result of good coverage so much as it was a bad throw. He actually did look like he knew what he was doing, for a change.

Bush's Int
I’m not factoring that too much in it, but I would say it was more on the WR for not being ready for it as opposed to a bad throw. It was a very catchable ball, but basically zoomed right by the WR’s face and into the hands of Bush. Bush however was covering well. Wait, wtf? Am I defending Bush right now?! Look, it was one game. He still sucks more than any CB has ever sucked before!!!!!! haha!
"No player is greater than a team."
-Vince Lombardi
sucks
except for Ahmad Carroll… WHo was a 1st rd draft pick. Bush was an undrafted FA… Wait am i defending Bush too?!!! LOL
Either way he made a play that likely earned himself a roster spot until Harris returns… Unless Lee sucks even more than Bush and the Packers cut Lee?! Then Bush would make it thru yet another season!!!! OUCH…
Dexter McCluster
He looks really good! I was hoping we could somehow draft him, and he would have been worth it. Very dangerous receiving it on screens, dangerous return man, good RB. He’s not an every down RB, but he is very fast, elusive, and dynamic. I would suggest holding onto him on your Fantasy Team. Not sure how much value you’ll get out of him overall considering the RB rotation and that he’s not an every down back, but he will have a couple games this year with monster numbers.
"No player is greater than a team."
-Vince Lombardi
I wouldn't touch McCluster in fantasy.
Was never a fan of his anyhow… If its a keeper league you might get value from him, assuming you didn’t take him too soon. What round did you draft him in?
How long before we start hearing who got cut? Does anyone know a good person to follow on Twitter who has Packers news before the pack announce it?

53 Man Roster
This has to be set by 3:00 on Saturday. So every team still has another day to figure out who stays an who goes. I’m sure a few trades are being explored right now by several and teams are looking at players cut on different teams to possibly bring in.

Thanks to both of you.

Greg Bedard (who also does the Packers blog over at JSOnline) will probably be one of the first with any announcements.
Check the news sites early Sat.
I would check the sites early Sat. as I think TT and MM were waiting till after Thurs. game to do the final cuts just for the sake of injuries. Yes unfortunately I believe Bush will still be on the team :( grrrr! he aggravates me. Shields is looking very promising and can’t wait to see him develop a little more.

if that tackle or attempted tackle, doesn’t warrant a 15 yard penalty what will? lol

Greg Bedard tweets that the Packers have reached an injury settlement with Allen Barbre and Released him. And so it begins.

Bedard reports that NT Anthony Toribio has been cut
That leaves us with just one listed NT Raji, but Wilson or Neal would probably be the backup if they make the roster.

Fingers crossed to see Justin Harrel's name next.
"A ringing single for David Eckstein who, in my view, is the perfect size for an American male." -Bob Costas
Neal and Wilson
Won’t be the backup NT… That will certainly be Pickett! With Neal or Wilson (if he makes the team) playing DE!
It would be nice to see Neal as a starter.
"A ringing single for David Eckstein who, in my view, is the perfect size for an American male." -Bob Costas
Bedard reports that RB Kregg Lumpkin was released
That means that John Kuhn has done enough at half back to warrent keeping all three Full Backs.
"A ringing single for David Eckstein who, in my view, is the perfect size for an American male." -Bob Costas
As well as DE Ronald Talley
Packers have asked Talley to join the Practice Squad should he clear waivers.

Here's one I didn't see coming
S/KR Will Blackmon has been released.
"A ringing single for David Eckstein who, in my view, is the perfect size for an American male." -Bob Costas
We are now is DESPERATE need of a K/P returner!!!
I don’t see Chery being reliable enough… In the limited amt I’ve seen of him anyway, he drops too many. Thompson I’m sure has a better idea from practices though.
Blackmon has looked better this year, but the injuries is what did him in. Shields has dropped to many to be a return guy, Chery has only done one week of returns. That leaves Williams, who is now the starting Corner, and we really don’t want to see him hurt, Jordy Nelson, who wasn’t great at it last year, and Brandon Jackson. Should be interesting to see who gets the nod.
"A ringing single for David Eckstein who, in my view, is the perfect size for an American male." -Bob Costas
about that
Jason Chery has been CUT!
"A ringing single for David Eckstein who, in my view, is the perfect size for an American male." -Bob Costas
How has Blackmon looked better?
Been playing a new position and he’s been injured far too much to even make an evalution of him!!! He wasn’t practicing in OTA’s or minicamps and very little in training camp. He had no opportunity due to his knee to look better!
I meant in terms of returns
As a position player, god no. But on Returns he has looked better this year when he was on the field.
"A ringing single for David Eckstein who, in my view, is the perfect size for an American male." -Bob Costas
can't say its a big surprise though
Blackmon has been on the field too infrequently to keep around w/ yet another injury!
Masthay wins the punter job… CB’s are Woodson, WIlliams, Shields, Underwood, Lee and Bush… thats hardly even a guess at this point!
Yeah, I can see that. Just waiting for official word. I didn’t count on there being 6 corners until Blackmon got hurt. His ability to barely play Corner and Safety would have opened a spot elsewhere. Now 6 seems to be a lock. Sorry D.J. Clark.

Has Havner being released if they can’t find a trade partner. Whats that everyone was saying about all the plays he was making last year?!!! Strohman knows… LOL
Sorry couldn’t help myself… LOL
They have said the same about Evan Dieteich-Smith

What a shame. I loves me some Spencer Havner.
Looks like Crabtree makes it then.

You mean you love all the plays that Rodgers made for Havner?!
Thats who made Havner! He just caught passes when he was wide open or Rodgers threw him open! Not due to his ability.
Hey
A guy can like who he likes. I don’t hold out any belief that Havner was some golden god of a Tight End. I just liked him. He seemed like a good dude.

McDonald
Like I said I liked him early too… He will be a far better C/OG than EDS could ever hope to be! Thought he might be PS material, but he played too well in the past couple games to make it thru waivers!
Bulaga made EDS expendable.
"A ringing single for David Eckstein who, in my view, is the perfect size for an American male." -Bob Costas
EDS
was really only a center, Bulaga had nothing to do w/ EDS. McDonald beat him out, as well as Spitz unless they decide to trade him. In which case EDS MIGHT still make it… I don’t see a Spitz trade happening. Thompson will want to keep him.
I was going with Smith at Guard.
When you start to see a guy like him moved from Guard to Center and back and forth like that it usually spells the end of you.
"A ringing single for David Eckstein who, in my view, is the perfect size for an American male." -Bob Costas
EDS was always more a center than guard.
He was really not very good at either. He played Center in college, at least thats what I remember!
Packers turned down offers for Jason Spitz.
He’s a lock for the 53 man.

Is it a USC jersey or a Cards one? Could understand a USC, but really a Cards jersey just cuz of Leinart? DOn’t get that…
Cards one
But not just because of Leinart. I really started to get interested in them in the Plummer years. Now, interested to see how Anderson does. Plus, Beanie Wells? Awesome.

I have one collecting dust too… I might sell it when he is elected to the pro football HOF… No use for it now, whatsoever!!!
You and I always totally agreed that Favre threw the Packers under the bus… Sadly at the time nobody else could see it…
I sure as hell could.
I was pissed when he decided to “return” to the packers. Total diva move. Hasn’t proved me wrong yet.

Leinart
I never thought much of Leinart. Thought Cutler would be the better passer and Young the better leader. Leinart had WAY too much talent around him at USC to really guage him as a good QB. His arm, attitude and all that talent didn’t make him a good QB. He wasn’t helped by the change of head coaches thogh either!
Matt never had a head for Football.
That was obvious once he got drafted. He was out parting while other draft picks had thier noses in playbooks.

2006 Draft Class for QB's
It’s amazing how much praise Young, Leinart, and Cutler were receiving that year. It was thought to be the year of the QB’s. All I can say is…..wow! And don’t give me that crap that Vince Young is a winner!
"No player is greater than a team."
-Vince Lombardi
12 QBs taken in the 2006 Draft
And only Vince Young is still starting for the team that picked him. Cutler is in Chicago now, and those are the only two starters out of the bunch. I haven’t counted, but I think about 6 of those 12 are no longer in the NFL.

Campbell and Breno getting cut
Was wrong about Breno, but that was still in OTA’s… He didn’t play as well as he needed in preseason.
I don't think too many people expected Breno to be cut
Traded maybe, but not cut. I’m honestly stunned that Campbell made it. I’ll be honest, I only really noticed him playing in the KC game, and quite frankly, he looked awful. EDS wasn’t any better. Campbell made it most likely for a couple reasons:
A- he was solid before the KC Game
B- Campbell may not exceed at any one position, but he can play OG and OT, where Barbre can only play OG, and is the worst OT in the NFL
That’s my hunch anyways as to why he makes the 53 man roster. I don’t expect him to ever play though with Lang and Spitz available to play OG or C for Spitz and Newhouse and Bulaga as the backup OT’s.
If anything, TT finds a Punt Returner in the market sometime in the next couple days and cuts Campbell. You never know…
