Packers kicker Trey Smack was the highlight of the team's first preseason game of the season Thursday night in Pittsburgh. 

However, the headline Friday is left guard Aaron Banks ... after head coach Matt LaFleur had an interesting question when asked about that position on the offensive line. 

We discuss Smack and Banks, as well as Jonathan Gannon's aggressive approach to the first Preseason game with positive showings from Lukas Van Ness and Brandon Cisse, but more concerns about Keisean Nixon.

Jonathan Gannon's defense dominated Training Camp Practice No. 11 for the Green Bay Packers. It appears the defense is more than ready to kick off the Preseason this Thursday in Pittsburgh. 

Meanwhile, the offense got wide receivers Matthew Golden and Jayden Reed back from injury, while head coach Matt LaFleur said Jordan Love is better than Aaron Rodgers in one specific area. 

Veteran linebacker Zaire Franklin spoke for more than 10 minutes about the Preseason, while rookie kicker Trey Smack spoke after going 4-for-5 at Tuesday's practice.

The Preseason Plan

Is Keisean Nixon competing for his starting cornerback job? Based on the last two practices, the answer appears to be "yes." 

Nixon continues to rotate with free-agent signing Benjamin St-Juste between the first-team and second-team defense. Meanwhile, rookie Brandon Cisse has stuck with the "ones" each of the past two days. 

Marques talks about the cornerback room, as well as the uncertainty on the offensive line -- with Anthony Belton off to a slow start this summer. Javon Bullard missed Monday's practice, but doesn't sound concerned about his foot injury, which he called a bone bruise.
