Packer Report @PackerReport 1m1 minute ago
Not surprisingly no surprises among #Packers first cuts. Ebbele, Francis, Hooks, Kowalski, Dantzler. That gets them to 83. Eight more to go.
5 down, Packers at 83 now. 8 more to get to 75.

Nelson to IR makes it seven moves. Blue, Sebetic have been hurt so that's potentially two more.
Unless I missed something, the second Tweet imagining Nelson on IR, is an expectation, not a confirmation.
Not a Packers cut, but noteworthy...Trent Richardson cut by the Raiders.
Hard to believe the Colts gave up a D1 for him two years ago. Note to self: backs who can't crack 3.5 ypc in their first year probably weren't worth drafting at all, let alone giving up a first rounder to take them on.
Such an epic fall. Amazing how great he was in college, yet for some reason has terrible vision and can't read blocks at the NFL level.Quote:

This is a great thread on him. Definitely worth a read.

Perhaps the pro game moves to fast for him so he has problems reading his blocks and hitting the hole? :confused:Quote:

Cleveland happened to him.Quote:

Yeah, I remember TR being considered better than McFadden and the closest thing to AP. He was supposed to be a hard worker, a real workshorse without any weaknesses...I think what happened is he got paid and surprised people in that he also got lazy.
Hubbard was certainly a physical specimen but I guess he could never put it together.Quote:

looks like boykins is gonna return to GB
Where have you seen this? I haven't read anybody reputable who is reporting this. One of the JSO writers speculated the Packers might bring back Boykin, Jones, or Jeremy Ross--but I haven't seen anything concrete. I'd be surprised if they brought him back.Quote:

Vujnovich is strictly a tackle, maybe LT, but they have plenty of guard options.
Must be tempting to hold-on to potential. Practice squad is dicey.
