Packers 38 Falcons 10

I did not actually watch the game, so I will be limited in what I can say (write) about it. It was shown on the NFL Network at seven this morning and I really didn't feel like getting up extra early to view a pre-season game.

Fortunately, the only notable injury was to cornerback DeAngelo Hall and coaches have already said that it's very minor. So, that's good news, not that he's hurt, but that it's extremely minor.

Even though the scoreboard looks horrendous from a Falcons' fan perspective, it sounds like the 1st teamers played pretty well last night. Vick was 5 for 7 for almost 60 yards and a touchdown pass. The score was tied 7-7 at the end of a quarter.

But, when the back-ups came in to play, that's when the momentum (along with the score) shifted dramatically.

Some players need to step up and into their roles on this team. Three of the four spots on the defensive line are set with Jonathan Abraham, Patrick Kerney, and Rod Coleman. The defensive tackle opposite Coleman has to step up into the starter's position. A receiver needs to step forward. Vick has complete 8 of 11 passes this pre-season, but either Roddy White or Michael Jenkins must step up into that go-to receiver's role, especially now that Brian Finneran is out for the season.

One guy who has stepped up is kicker Michael Koenen who added to his already impressive pre-season debut against the Patriots with a 51-yard field goal last night. I don't know what Mora thinks of the situation, but like I said after the Pats game, make sure to keep Koenen around for field goal duties, even if you have to get a kickoff man or punter in there. If he thinks it's too big a chore for Koenen to handle all three, then have him handle two, but make sure one of those two is the field goal chores. He handled two jobs last year in being the kickoff man and the punter. He can handle two again this year.

The score looked ugly, but there were some positives from last night's game and hopefully a lot was learned by the younger players. The great news is the fact it was only a pre-season game, so it doesn't matter come the regular season. The even greater news (knock on wood) is the fact that two pre-season games are done and over with and only two are left and we don't have any major injuries yet (outside of Finneran, whose injury came in camp). That's the most important thing. Stay healthy guys and be ready come the real season!
