Not 6th round pick Kennard Backman whos knock coming out was his lack of blocking. Like I've been saying the whole time I think Backman and Rip will be battling for a roster spot and I believe Rip will make it over him because of his blocking and special teams value. Similar to Bostick early on I see Backman being sent to the PS his first season until he improves his blocking. Kuhn will remain the starting FB while Rip plays a role similar as Ryan Taylor...don't know what is so hard to understand about that haha.

Rodgers, Ouarless, and Perillo only TEs I see making the roster so that 4th spot that use to belong to Bostick will be taken by Rip. Instead of having 4 TEs and 1 FB it will be 3 TEs and 2 FBs. You could see Rip blocking from the TE spot in jumbo packages on goal line packages with Kuhn at FB.
