Legendary senior writer jclombardi looks at Packers preseason win over Colts.
GOOD:
1. QB Rodgers--looked sharp completing 9 of 23 passes for 204 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions for a rating of 118.1. For the preseason, Rodgers has completed 34-of-43 passes for 375 yards and 3 touchdowns.
2. TE Taylor–he is great rookie special teams player who caught last-minute touchdown pass and extra points to tie the game. He has clearly moved up the roster ahead of rookie D. J. Williams and veteran Crabtree.
3. QB Harrell--he went from a goat (interception led to Colts score) to hero. With the Packer trailing 21-13, he drove 73 yards in 11 plays culminating in 11-yard touchdown pass to rookie TE Taylor. Then, he hit Taylor for the tying two-point conversion. With the successful onside kick, he drove the Packers to field goal range for the winning score.
4. Coach McCarthy–great call for successful onside kick setting up the winning field goal as time ran out in the game.
BAD:
1. S Burnett–looked awful blowing cover-2 coverage, biting on an underneath route, and leaving WR Wayne alone for an easy 57 yards touchdown.
2. CB Bush–an old story failing in man-to-man coverage and getting beat for a touchdown on a corner route into the end zone to WR Brooks.
3. RB Grant--looked pedestrian with hesitations, bad reads, and no power running.
UGLY:
1. LT Clifton–he had an awful game allowing two sacks and holding call to nullify a Packers touchdown.
2. Pass protection–the first team gave up four sacks in the first half.
3. No-huddle offense--mixed performances with one touchdown on first series and one field goal in the next three no-huddle possessions with all three drives stopped by sacks.
