    I really would prefer they kept Harris instead of Franklin, if only one can stay. That is, unless Franklin shows a little more.

    Hubbard is making this team. We're also going to resign Finley. We're going to say goodbye to one or two good linebackers, as we do every year. I see it coming down to Mulumba or Barrington, and I think the coaches like Barrington more.

    QB (3) - Rodgers, Flynn, Tolzien
    RB (4) - Lacy, Starks, Franklin, Harris
    FB (1) - Kuhn
    WR (5) - Nelson, Cobb, Boykin, Adams(r), Abbredaris(r)
    TE (4) Finley, Quarless, Bostick, Rodgers(r)
    OL (9) Bulaga, Sitton, Tretter, Lang, Bakhtiari, Barclay, Sherrod, Linsley(r), Lane
    DL (5) Raji, Boyd, Thornton(r), Jones, Daniels
    LB (10) Matthews, Peppers, Neal, Jones, Hawk, Barrington, Lattimore, Hubbard(UDFA-r), Perry, Bradford(r)
    CB (5) Williams, Shields, Hayward, House, Bush
    S (4) Burnett, Clinton-Dix(r), Hyde, Richardson
    Sp (3) Crosby, Masthay, Goode

    I'd be so pissed if we let Janis walk to keep Tolzien at QB.

    My refrigerator delivery guy claims he went to high school with Harris. he also claims Harris is working out like a maniac and will be ready for camp. Also, he can get me a great deal on a Camaro, but I'd have to decide right away because he has 'a couple of other guys really interested in it.'

    I bet he can hook you up with some weed, too.

    Just goes to show you that old Maytag repairman really didn't need to be sitting around. He coulda had a sweet little side business flipping used cars and servicing housewives.

    I'm going to root for Janis in camp. He looks the part. Though Dorsey from MD has some speed and size.

    Could we stow Janis on the PS? He has a ton of potential but is extremely raw.

    If TT/MM think Janis won't make it to the practice squad, he will have a mystery injury that forces him to IR for the season.

    If there is any justice in the world, Janis will get the camp hamstring.

    Don't write off Bush yet. Hyde could take the 4th safety spot from Banjo. Also depends on how Goodson and Nixon look. I have Janis as a tease who doesn't make the team--much like Charles Johnson last year. They'll try to sneak him onto the PS and get usurped again. I think either Harris or Franklin will make the squad. Not both. And I have a gut feeling that either Neal or Perkins makes the team as a 4th RB. Both have talent. Perkins is a better inside runner than his size would indicate. I don't have the 'nads to pencil it at this point though.

    Being assigned to the PS won't protect him from being snapped up by any other NFL team.

    Several year end evaluations mentioned that Goode was a bit erratic last year, although, to be honest. I didn't notice it. His downfield coverage has always been below par, I think. I wonder if it is feasible from a practice standpoint to have Linsley, who is reportedly a good long snapper, be the regular at that and the backup C.

    Probably not. MM has said he doesn't like to use the backup QB because he can't be in two places at once, practicing with the O and with the punter or kicker. He would probably feel the same about the backup center.

    QB Aaron Rodgers, Matt Flynn, Scott Tolzien

    Competition: Backup QB - Tolzien could beat out Flynn for the backup spot. If so, Flynn probably gets cut.

    RB Eddie Lacy, James Starks, John Kuhn, DuJuan Harris

    Competition: 4th String RB - Johnathan Franklin, Rajion Neal, or LaDarius Perkins could win a 4th RB spot.

    WR Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Davante Adams, Jarrett Boykin, Jared Abbrederis

    Competiton: Backup Slot WR - Myles White could beat out Abbrederis for the backup slot receiver spot.
    Competition: 6th WR vs Roster Numbers - Jeff Janis, Kevin Dorsey, or Chris Harper could win a 6th WR spot.

    TE Andrew Quarless, Brandon Bostick, Richard Rodgers, Ryan Taylor

    Competition: Backup TE/Special Teams Ace - Jake Stoneburner could beat out Taylor for a backup spot.
    Competition: 4th TE vs. Roster Numbers - Green Bay could go with three TEs.

    OL David Bakhtiari, Josh Sitton, J.C. Tretter, T.J. Lang, Bryan Bulaga, Derek Sherrod, Corey Linsley, Don Barclay, Lane Taylor

    Competition: 9th OL - An unheralded young player could beat out Taylor for a interior OL backup spot.
    Competition: 9th OL vs. Roster Numbers - Green Bay could carry eight OL. Unlikely, but possible.

    DL Julius Peppers, B.J. Raji, Mike Daniels, Datone Jones, Josh Boyd, Khyri Thornton, Jerel Worthy

    Competition: 7th DL - Letroy Guion or Mike Pennel could beat out Worthy for a backup spot, if Worthy does not show vast improvement in training camp.

    OLB Clay Matthews, Mike Neal, Nick Perry, Carl Bradford, Andy Mulumba

    Competition: 5th OLB - Nate Palmer could beat out Mulumba for a backup spot.
    Competition: 5th OLB vs. Roster Numbers - Green Bay could go with four OLBs.

    ILB A.J. Hawk, Brad Jones, Jamari Lattimore, Sam Barrington

    Competition: Starting ILB - Jamari Lattimore or Sam Barrington could beat out Brad Jones for starting ILB. I'd like to see Bradford given a shot, but it's unlikely.

    CB Sam Shields, Tramon Williams, Casey Hayward, Davon House, Jarrett Bush

    Competition: Backup CB - Demetri Goodson, James Nixon, or Jumal Rolle could beat out House or Bush for a backup spot.

    S Morgan Burnett, Hasean Clinton-Dix, Sean Richardson, Micah Hyde

    Competition: Backup S - Green Bay could carry four true safeties, giving Chris Banjo a shot at a roster spot. Otherwise, Green Bay could roll with Hyde and/or Bush as an emergency 4th safety.

    ST Mason Crosby, Tim Masthay, Brett Goode

    At least one UDFA will make this team. I'd also be pissed if we kept that scrum Tolzein over Janis.

    It might also be that they view Barclay as a capable backup at guard, and they let Taylor go. In that case, we could be keeping a third QB or perhaps an extra running back or DLineman.

    I think you're completely wrong here, Patler. There's no reason Linsley couldn't do it, as long as he....

    keeps it snappy.
