In Brett Favre’s Hall locker, Packers and Vikings jerseys side-by-side
The Packers led the NFL in scoring at 30.4 points per game, quarterback Aaron Rodgers won his second career NFL MVP Award, the team won 12 regular-season games and reached the NFC Championship Game.
The guy who replaced Favre, extending a seamless line of stellar quarterback play with the Green Bay Packers, will be making his first visit to the museum.
Rodgers didn’t know yet coach Mike McCarthy’s plan for playing time for preseason games, including Sunday.
“We’ll do our play-time report”.
However, playing in the Hall of Fame game is new territory for the Packers under McCarthy.
It also appears unlikely that any of the six players who opened camp on the physically unable to perform list will play against the Colts.
Rodgers said that he’s excited for that experience, but he isn’t especially happy to be a part of the Hall of Fame Game.
As the National Football League prepares to enshrine its Class of 2016 into the Pro Football Hall of Fame at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio on Saturday, Aug. 6, the Peninsula Pulse reflects on its writings about one of those Hall of Fame inductees – former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre.
After the three specialists, that leaves 50 roster spots, and it’s never a given whether those will be split evenly on offense or defense, or if one side of the ball gets an extra player or two. There’s notable reasons for that – avoiding injury, seeing depth of team, etc. – but they should play just enough to keep it interesting early on.
In an interview, he said, “When I came here on my visit, I saw Green Bay was a little different”. McCarthy said Monday that guard T.J. Lang is the closest among them to being ready to practice. “I’m pretty sure you all are exhausted of asking about it. I’m exhausted of hearing about it everywhere I go”. Dagneau and White say they’re honored that Favre reached out to them with an invitation, but say that’s just the kind of guy he is.
