Wilson may have played late into the game but he was the one that had to unsettle the hierarchy. Now there appears to be a contest not only in terms of roster spot but role as well.

As far as the other battles go, I’m more interested in RG behind Morgan (whom I suspect won’t play much, if at all). I want to see good performances from Rhyan and Monk at G and C.

By far my biggest focus will be at T. Tom won’t play and Walker will be rested. Who starts at LT, who at RT and in what order, and who looks like they belong.

In addition to that, I’m looking to see how King and Rochell do as well as the depth WRs (roster and PS) and if Mosby, Cox or A.N.Other can push his case harder at DE.

This the weekend where depth players get to state their case early and often. Let’s hope some do so positively.

It's intriguing to me to have a promising young quarterback like Michael Pratt who had an illustrious career at a medium-sized college not usually in the highlights, and so didn't get drafted with much fanfare.
Can he beat the odds and truly emerge as a solid quarterback in the NFL, perhaps a star, even a superstar?
An early chapter in his quest will play out against the Broncos, and it'll be fun to root for him to make it an early part of a storybook career.

I'm still rooting for Sean Clifford, as well, as we watch him strive toward his potential.
Maybe he's the young QB who surprises over the next several seasons.
My hunch is that the Packers keep Clifford and Pratt.
I wonder which one would be more vulnerable if not protected from being taken by another team.
What occurs tonight may go a long way toward answering that question.

I think the Packers should keep Joseph as kicker. Doesn't have the leg Carlson does, but if Carlson can't hit the broadside of a barn, why keep him? Carlson had the whole off season to correct his mistakes but he doesn't look much better. Kicker is one of the most mysterious positions on a team. A kicker can be the difference between winning and losing, so why hold onto a guy that puts knots in your stomach every time he's on the field?
Wilson always looks great in the preseason but often gets hurt. Dillon seems to have lost a step which is bad. Close call.
Morgan is going to make the team regardless. Rhyan is going to make the team as well. Rhyan might be beaten out by Monk. Really interesting.
Poor practice: It happens. Sean Payton is a damn good coach so he should have the Broncos ready to knock some heads in their division.

About AJ Dillon:
- I like him very much as a person even though I "know" him only through the internet. People liki him are the salt of this franchise,
- as an amateur lifter I admire his quads and overall stature. Especially this years he looks strong,
- I remember his rookie season when as RB3 he sent us glimpses of great player, especially Titans game when Derrick Henry fall into his shadow!
- I also remember times when our offense was like dead and with no Jones on the field. AJ Dillon looked relatively good when we were terrible,
- the problem is that we need not only good character, it is not bodybuilding nor powerlifting contest and after some time it matters how much you produce, not who you could've been,
- many people write that he faces really tough situations on the field. Maybe. Maybe I am also too blind to notice football details. But what I've seen was much smaller Aaron Jones converting short downs more frequently, not to mention his overall production. I look at Wilson and it feels refreshing, lighter, easier. I don't know if he has lighter boxes, he faces worse opponents, but he looks... better.
- AJ Dillon - as a fan of yours I keep my fingers crossed for you making the team and finally blossoming, but every week you need to do more to get there. You could not care about opinions of people not living in your home but the train is going. It's time to jump in or you will be left on the station.

There are 15 OL on the roster. Barring a trade or injury - 7 are basically set and 2 are likely out, leaving 6 to realistically compete for the last 2 or maybe 3 roster spots.

OL spots 1 to 7 appear set: Walker, Jenkins, Myers, Morgan, Rhyan, Tom, Monk.
Tenuta and Smith seem like non-factors.
That leaves: Jones, Glover, Telford, Jennings, Dillard and Newman.
I am anxious to see what happens for # 8, 9 and maybe 10.

Caleb Jones has been surprisingly quiet. Glover too.
Telford has had chances with the 1s, but hasn't taken advantage of the opportunities (yet).
I was REALLY excited about Donovan Jennings - but the knee injury has put him way behind.
I would be hugely disappointed if Dillard and Newman made this team over any of the younger guys with more potential.

With 2 preseason games to go, my best guess is that Dillard is cut, Newman traded, Jones is #8, Telford #9 and Glover and Jennings go to the PS. There will not be a 10th spot, as GB will try to fit a QB3, or RB4 onto the roster.

I agree that if Pratt beats out Clifford for the #2 job, Clifford could be in danger of being cut and then relegated to the practice squad. However I still think that, in the end, they will keep both of them.

I got the impression that Jordan Morgan had already won the RG spot before his injury, so I fully expect him to be back in there as soon as possible and starting against the Eagles in Brazil. He's more talented than Sean Rhyan. At least Rhyan showed something last week as possibly the top backup at all three interior O-line positions. Jacob Monk is also looking better, and I'm hoping Donovan Jennings sneaks into the conversation now that he is finally healthy.

Good point about A.J. Dillon receiving veteran starter treatment in the first preseason game. I hadn't thought of it that way, but you may be right. I like Emmanuel Wilson's upside though, so I'm hoping he continues to make things interesting.

I am not as anxious as most people about the kicker situation. Comparing their field goal percentages in training camp with regular season percentages is misleading because they are mostly kicking long field goals in practice. By all accounts, Greg Joseph's kicks have generally been straighter and truer than Anders Carlson's, so at this point I would lean toward keeping Joseph.

Who is picking up Sean Clifford if he's relegated to the practice squad? There is no reason to carry 3 QBs if these are the choices. Now if you had an experienced backup in Tannehill for example but see something in Pratt, I'd get it.

But you don't keep Sean Clifford on the roster in fear of somebody plucking him off the practice squad.

"""Compared to qualified kickers for last season, Joseph’s accuracy would rank 24th in the NFL, while Carlson’s would be 27th""""

Is this the appropriate time to mention that Carlson was perfect from 40 yards on in? 20 out of 20!!
