Monday night's preseason opener may have been a loss for the Packers, but I'm never at a loss for throwing some thoughts and opinions out.

I was proud of the Packers fans for their support of Aaron Rodgers. He didn't cause the Brett Favre trade to the Jets.

While Rodgers was solid, I'm concerned about going into the regular season with two rookie backup quarterbacks.

Brandon Jackson looks much better running the football with a year of experience. He still needs to learn to pick up blitzes.

Jon Ryan is a solid punter but his two shanks should bring on competition in camp. He hasn't done enough to be guaranteed anything.

Tramon Williams seems to have the terrific attitude and instincts that you need to be good cornerback. He looks like a "nickel" with an eye on being an heair apparent to either Al Harris or Charles Woodson.

Abdul Hodge's game made a big impact. He seized the opportunity of Desmond Bishop's absence and made a strong case to make the roster as a backup linebacker. If I'm Bishop, I get back on the field Saturday night.

Jordy Nelson is not spectacular, but he strikes me as the kind of player who will be very productive and make the big play in the big moment.

I do have a level of concern about both lines. The offensive line is still in flux because of Scott Wells' injury and the competition at guard. The defensive line has been decimated by injuries. Those situations have to clear up in the next few weeks.
