Check out some quotes from the big guy in the AP’s game recap. Wideout Greg Jennings also caught a touchdown for his second of this preseason.

– Fresno State alum and WR Chastin West stole the night with an awesome 97 yard trip to paydirt in the fourth quarter. Check out the highlight on Packers.com.
– Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press-Gazette dissects the night of rookie RB Alex Green in “Green Bay Packers RB Alex Green shows flash as receiver.”
– Next Friday, the Packers travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts in their third preseason game. Coverage is set to begin at 7:00 PM CT. The Colts’ offense has been terrible without Peyton Manning while scoring a pitiful 13 points in two preseason losses.
