    There's a lot to like about the Green Bay Packers even with Jordan Love expected to miss the team's Week 2 clash against the Indianapolis Colts.

    Green Bay won't be at full strength against the Colts but there still is plenty of hope for the team. The Packers have a chance to make some noise this year and has talent all throughout the roster. One player who impressed in his first bit of National Football League action certainly was second-round pick Edgerrin Cooper.

    Cooper had four tackles and was called a player who "deserves more snaps" in Week 2 by Bleacher Report's David Kenyon.

    "Edgerrin Cooper registered four tackles in his first game with the Green Bay Packers, and he's about to play a whole lot more," Kenyon said. "You don't need to take my word for it. 'He certainly flashed and made some plays,' head coach Matt LaFleur said about Cooper's debut, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site. 'I would anticipate him getting more time moving forward.'

    "Cooper, a second-round pick from Texas A&M, joined a position of considerable need in Green Bay. He basically only needs to leap Isaiah McDuffie on the depth chart to become a fixture of the Pack's defense. Given that outlook, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Cooper in a first-string spot by the end of September."

    Green Bay certainly can pull off the win even without Love.
