The Packers held their annual Family Fun Night on Friday,
which is a glorified scrimmage to help prepare them for preseason play. Let’s
go through a rundown of what happened.
Aaron Rodgers- This was our first chance to see Rodgers in
this new offense, and he looked very comfortable. He found the likes of Jake
Kumerow, Davante Adams, and Geronimo Allison for big gains down the field and
looked sharp on smaller throws as well.
Davante Adams- Adams looked solid when he was on the field,
specifically on that big catch from Rodgers. He and Rodgers should be just fine
in this new offense.
Geronimo Allison- This was our first chance to see Allison, after
missing most of the season a year ago. Allison will be the team’s number two receiver
in this new offense. He looked in rhythm with Rodgers early, especially on a quick
slant.
Trevor Davis- He has a lot of work to do this preseason to
keep his roster spot. It was a case of “So far, so good.” He was the best
player on the field Friday night, making big plays and leaping catches
downfield for big gains. Still, it was just a glorified practice and we will
see how he does in preseason play.
Jake Kumerow- If Kumerow wants to be the third receiver he
sure helped his cause Friday night. He made a big catch downfield from Rodgers
and showed off his footwork along the sidelines as well.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling- The second of three receivers
battling for the slot job, Scantling looked solid, nothing impressive though.
J’Mon Moore- Moore struggled in front of the friendly crowd,
and will be taking a seat on the back of Packers wide receiver bus soon.
Deshone Kizer/Tim Boyle- The backup quarterback battle got a
lot more interesting Friday Night. Kizer strubbled when outside of the big
rush, and that is not a measurement of NFL quarterback success. His worst
moment was the interception and run back by Tony Brown. Boyle didn’t look
spectacular, but he he made up ground, based on Kizer’s performance.
Sam Ficken- This backup kicker had the moment of the night,
finishing Family Night with a 64-yard field goal.
