I think the most notable thing for me last night was the line play of Green Bay vs the Browns.

Granted it is only the first game and I am using the Brown's of last season as a comparison, in which the Brown's weren't overly dominate at the line of scrimmage as a whole. I will concede the the Browns left side of their offensive line is very formidable.

My observation as a whole is that we got it handed to us on both side of the ball at the point of attack.

The Offensive line struggled with pickups in pass protection in all three groups of play, and rarely opened anything in terms of running lanes.

The defensive line applied little pressure all night and other than the first stringers, didn't hold up at the point of attack very well.

Just the first "preseason" game, and that we have plenty of time to correct issues, just in a comparative nature I believe our line play to be 'behind' at this point.

Just a first observation off the game last night.. I will be watching it again and may alter my opinion or see it differently, but that is what I most noticed last night.

Thoughts.. other areas of note, both good or bad?

I agree with your general impression, though I can't get into specifics without watching the game again. I was surprised by the lack of pass rush generated by the #1 defense.

Who were the starters for the o-line?

I think it was Clifton, Sherrod, Wells, Sitton, and Bulaga for the first series, then Lang took over for Sherrod for the second series.

Sherrod wasn't really challenged during that first series at LG. I'm kind of scared to re-watch the game because I thought I saw him getting blown up at LT...

I thought the holes created for the running game during that second series were fine, and Starks took full advantage of them.

Just read where after Clifton sat down Lang and Sherrod switched back and forth from LG and LT every series. So both got plenty of reps at each position, JMHO, Mike McCarthy needs to settle on a starter at LG sooner than later.

Pack, I left some random thoughts in the "game day" thread. I pretty much agree with your statements.

Didn't we play the Browns in our pre season opener last season? I believe they beat us then too. I agree that the lines on both sides need work. Much like they did last season at the beginning.

They got some good looks at Lang and Sherrod.

They have to do some juggling to get a look at everyone and give them a chance.

Defensively, you know Capers shows nothing in preseason. Nobody gets tape on their stunts and blitzes. You can gripe all preseason yet see a huge jump opening night.

Mucky Tundra (31-May) : @AndyHermanNFL Sean Rhyan getting some reps at center in walkthroughs. They are rotating guys everywhere.
Mucky Tundra (31-May) : or that might have been an individual drill thing
Mucky Tundra (31-May) : that was from the 29th but I've seen other combs (including Rhyan@C)
Mucky Tundra (31-May) : @ByRyanWood Without Elgton Jenkins and Zach Tom, #Packers starting OL: Rasheed Walker, Jordan Morgan, Josh Myers, Sean Rhyan, Andre Dillard.
Martha Careful (31-May) : I have never seen an OTA, but who is lining up at LT and RG with starters? or is it all individual drills?
Zero2Cool (30-May) : Bears are the first team to be selected for Hard Knocks
dfosterf (29-May) : Andy Herman and his Pack a day podcast put up GB strengths yesterday. This morning he did weaknesses. They are both very good.
Zero2Cool (25-May) : Yes.
beast (24-May) : Does he say what it is?
Zero2Cool (22-May) : Christian Watson believes he has discovered the root cause his soft-tissue leg injuries
Zero2Cool (22-May) : Savage played last half of season with tear in rotator cuff
Zero2Cool (22-May) : SISSIES!!!!
Mucky Tundra (22-May) : Sounds like both Kraft and Tom were injuried before OTAs began
buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Not serious but waiting for strength and conditioning coach referwnces.
buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Tom and Kraft both injured(pectoral muscle),
Zero2Cool (20-May) : I feel similar about person and product/service.
beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player
Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity
Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.
CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.
Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol
Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.
buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4
Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills
Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,
Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.
Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line
Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th
Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
