680 - Recapping the Packers' Position Battles Before Preseason Game 3

See this content in the original post

The Packers’ final preseason game is bearing down on us. How will their biggest position battles sort out? Who will come out on top?

Offensive position battles: running back, offensive line, and wide receiver (1:23)

Emanuel Wilson vs. Patrick Taylor. Tackles vs. guards. Samori Toure vs. Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton, Malik Heath, and Grant DuBose. The Packers have decisions to make, and it doesn’t seem clear how things will break down, especially since a few low-end contenders have really pushed to make their presence known. 

Defensive position battles: edge rusher, defensive line, and safety (12:54)

How many edge rushers can the Packers really keep? What will it take for them to get to six defensive linemen? Who has stood out at safety? The answer to the last question is clear (nobody), but things get a lot more complicated from there.
