How will Packers do Our predictions

The Press-Gazettes Packers coverage team offers its predictions on how Green Bay will do in 2008:

NFC North preview: Quick start could boost Vikings

Heres a look at what must happen and what cant for each NFC North team to win the division.

Offense preview: Supporting cast could lift Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers faces enormous pressures and long odds as successor to Brett Favre at quarterback, but the Green Bay Packers have given him a fighting chance.

Defense preview: Pressured to bring more pressure

Maybe Mike McCarthy was simply trying to deflect some of the heat from first-time starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but when the Green Bay Packers coach revealed on the weekend before training camp his teams focus for 2008 would be on defense, he perhaps unwittingly stacked more pressure on his defensive coordinator.

Notebook: Wells bad back flares up again

Packers center Scott Wells aggravated his back injury after only one day back on the practice field, and it looks unlikely that he will be available for Monday nights regular-season opener against the Minnesota Vikings.

Cole shows good speed, gets a ticket

Snap judgment: Packers keep looking

The Packers didnt immediately fill the crucial position of long snapper on Sunday but General Manager Ted Thompson likely will do so by the time they practice on Monday. It likely either will be Thomas Gafford, who spent time with them earlier this year, or one of three players who worked out this weekend.

Why keep Wynn Thompson sees talent

DeShawn Wynn is getting a second chance with the Packers. Well, sort of. The talented but underachieving running back was re-signed to the teams eight-man practice squad on Sunday, as were seven players who were in training camp with the Packers.

The Green Bay Packers have moved on without Brett Favre, but the veteran quarterback who was traded to the New York Jets earlier this month hasnt let go of some hard feelings toward his former team.
