Please add your own if you'd like: Al Harris and Charles Woodson did not play. The coaching staff decided to rest them. Nice TD pass over the middle from Favre to Driver. Nice long pass from Favre to Driver. Greg Jennings made several nice catches, mostly on slant routes. James Jones made a couple catches. Ruvell Martin, Carlyle Holliday, and Robert Ferguson each made a few plays. It's hard to tell which of those guys is going to make the roster.Aaron Rodgers looked decent, but he had to play with the #2 offense against the #1 defense, which probably didn't help his cause. Fourth string QB Paul Thompson showed some mobility and a good arm. He looked about as good as Ingle Martin and could possibly have more upside. Jarrett Bush appeared to be the coaching staff's first choice at nickel back. David Clowney returned a kickoff for a TD, though he didn't do anything as a receiver. Shaun Bodiford made some good catches and had a nice kickoff return (maybe two, come to think of it). I didn't see much of Aaron Rouse, though I think he played. I think Marquand Manuel played with the #1 defense, but was invisible. A.J Hawk made a few tackles and looked good. Justin Harrell made at least one good play, getting a good push against Allen Barbre and tipping a pass at the line of scrimmage, but mostly he was pretty invisible. Favre and Rodgers both moved the ball well in the two-minute offense, only to throw interceptions in the end zone. The red zone offense is still a concern. Favre's interception was to Nick Collins, who made a nice runback out of the end zone. Bubba Franks did not play due to his scratched eye. Donald Lee made a catch or two, but there was not much production from the tight end position. As I said above, the red zone offense is still a concern. Brandon Jackson got some carries and caught a couple passes, including one nice one from Favre to set up a TD run on the next play. I didn't see him get blown away in blitz pickup, but I'm not sure if he had to block on any plays. DeShawn Wynn got a few carries. I didn't see anything special from him. He looks a bit overweight to me. Noah Herron continues to look like a scrappy player who could make the roster once again and be a decent #3 back. #38 Tramon Williams made a couple of good plays to break up passes and intercepted Rodgers in the end zone. In the kicking competition, I think both kickers were 7 of 10. On kickoffs, both kickers put the ball just over the goal line on the fly. Fox 11's coverage was crappy, which made it harder to tell what was going on. They were more interested in conducting interviews than paying attention to what was happening on the field. Maybe they were trying to be like Monday Night Football. Also, I think the video crew was on crack during the kicking competition, because they kept showing different views, and you couldn't get an honest look at how either of those guys were kicking the ball. Overall, it was a spirited scrimmage, and I didn't see any injuries, so I'll take it. The crowd obviously had a great time on a warm summer evening at Lambeau Field.</blockquote>
