Green Bay Packers vs Tennessee Titans: 5 things we want to see

1. How the Young Specialists Handle a Game Situation?

Lost in the shuffle of the rebuilding of the defense and the injuries has been the performance of the specialists during camp. JK Scott has been a standout so far, and Mason Crosby has been his usual self, but the battle at long snapper is in full effect. Both Hunter Bradley and Zach Triner have been alternating during field goal and punt drills, with neither looking better or worse than the other. But it’s still on the practice field. Snapping on Lambeau Field is a different monster.

On the official depth chart, Bradley is listed as the starter, so it’s to be assumed that he’ll get the first crack to snap for Crosby and Scott while Triner rotates in as the game progresses. Bradley should have a leg up due to his status as a draft pick and his stellar college record of snapping. But if he struggles early, don’t be surprised to see more of Triner.

It’s also worth watching the operation of Scott as a holder for Crosby. The lanky rookie is expected to make a seamless transition to getting the ball down for the Packers all-time leading scorer. If he can do that, and continue his incredible camp, Scott should be able to lock down a long-term job as the Packers punter. Special teams cannot be forgotten during these preseason games, and that’ll start with the three specialists.
