Fresh off the first NFL preseason game last night http://www.greenbaypackersteamonline.com/darnell-savage-jr.- jersey , the Packers will take the field for the first time in a new era under Head Coach Matt LaFleur.While the new Aaron Rodgers-led offense and high-end free agent defensive signings will garner most of the headlines during the evening, there are plenty of position group battles and schematic questions waiting to be answered. As Packer fans eagerly await Family Night, here are three areas to keep a close eye on this evening.Will the Packers utilize ¡°12 personnel¡± sets and how effective will they be?One of the more surprising aspects of the Green Bay offense in 2018 was the ineffectiveness of two tight end, ¡°12 personnel,¡± sets in the midst of adding Marcedes Lewis to a tandem of Jimmy Graham and Lance Kendricks. The arrival of LaFleur and Nathaniel Hackett hopefully will restore the threat that this set can bring.During Family Night, it will be intriguing to see how often the Packers practice this set and what the results will be. They added raw receiving weapons to the position in the form of Jace Sternberger and Pharoah McKever, while retaining Graham, Lewis, and Robert Tonyan. Will any of these players be able to stretch the hashes from the slot or create chunk plays through LaFleur-staple crossing patterns?Conversely, how will this group of tight ends run block? Lewis¡¯ strength in this area is well-documented, but Graham Rashan Gary Jersey , Tonyan, Sternberger, and McKever all are rather unrefined or below-average in this area. For the Packers¡¯ new offense to be effective as a whole, they will need their tight ends to hold up as blockers. They will undergo their first eye test tonight.Will another under-the-radar receiving target step into the final roster conversation?It was right around Family Night last year when Rodgers praised Jake Kumerow¡¯s improvements without prompting. Kumerow then went on to have a stellar preseason that won him a second look for a roster spot despite three rookie receivers. This year, Kumerow, along with Allen Lazard and Teo Redding have received similarly glowing remarks from the Packers¡¯ franchise quarterback.Lazard in particular is a strong candidate to emerge during this year¡¯s Lambeau festivities. The second-year player spent most of his rookie season on the Jacksonville practice squad in the offense utilized by Hackett. However, Lazard has had some time to adjust to Rodgers and the Green Bay offense since being signed to the active roster in mid-December. The Iowa State product presents a 6¡¯5¡± frame that fits in well with a receiving unit composed of size-speed weapons.Redding and Lazard may be two underrated players to watch on a night that figures to see other second-year targets like Marquez Valdes-Scantling, J¡¯Mon Moore, and Equanimeous St. Brown hoping to impress.Will a reserve edge linebacker stand out?Much has been said this offseason about the newcomers to the Packers¡¯ linebacker group - Rashan Gary, Preston Smith, and Za¡¯Darius Smith. But how about the depth behind all of these players? While contact is limited in this practice http://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Jace-Sternberger-Jersey , one-on-one battles against the Packers¡¯ offensive tackles will be interesting to watch.On the edge, it starts with Kyler Fackrell, who had several breakout performances in 2018 but now sees himself in a backup role. Will Fackrell continue to take a step forward in 2019 as a role player and spot pass rusher? Now in his third season, time is ticking for Reggie Gilbert to make an impact or he will find his way out of 1265 Lombardi Avenue. He enters training camp on the bubble of a 53-man roster slot. Even last year¡¯s seventh-round draft pick Kendall Donnerson hopes to draw attention after an offseason of development and will compete against undrafted players Greg Roberts and Randy Ramsey for Family Night reps, if all are healthy enough to go.For the first time in a long time, the outside linebacker room is filled with a handful of both proven players and promising up-and-comers. Tonight should be an opportunity to see what the Packers have in all of their edge rushers. Blake Martinez is joining Davante Adams as the co-host for this year¡¯s game." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesAcme Packing Company homepageHorizontal - WhiteAcme Packing Companya Green Bay Packers communityFollow Acme Packing Company online:Follow Acme Packing Company on TwitterFollow Acme Packing Company on FacebookFollow Acme Packing Company on InstagramLog in or sign upLog InSign UpSite searchSearchSearchAcme Packing Company main menuFanpostsFanshotsSectionsPackersOddsAboutMastheadCommun ity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 321 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShare this storyShare this on FacebookShare this on TwitterShareAll sharing optionsShareAll sharing options for:Packers¡¯ annual charity softball game is approaching on June 1stTwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailUSA TODAY NETWORK-WisconsinLast year¡¯s Green & Gold Charity Softball Game resulted in some pain for one particular member of the Green Bay Packers. Linebacker Clay Matthews took a line drive in the face, suffering a broken nose in the process. Hopefully the 2019 edition of the game will be less eventful. This year¡¯s game is set to be held in just under two weeks, on Saturday, June 1st. Tickets are still available for the game, which will take place at Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton. The event, which has traditionally seen the Packers¡¯ top wide receiver serve as the primary host Dexter Williams Jersey , will get a co-host from the defense for the second straight year. Joining Davante Adams this year is linebacker Blake Martinez, who will take over for Matthews. This will be Adams¡¯ second year hosting the event, following previous hosts Jordy Nelson and Donald Driver. In addition, Driver is bringing a separate group of Wisconsin sports alumni for another charity game in July.Several of the new faces on the Packers¡¯ roster will be in attendance for this year¡¯s game. According to the Appleton Post-Crescent, all three of the free agent additions on the Packers¡¯ defense ¡ª Za¡¯Darius Smith, Preston Smith, and Adrian Amos ¡ª are scheduled to participate. The game falls squarely in the middle of the Packers¡¯ offseason practices. It comes after two weeks of OTAs, with a third week of OTAs and mandatory minicamp scheduled for the following weeks before the Packers break for the summer.
