But it does make some sense, if Abbrederis is ready to go. It would be very unlikely for them to have more than 5 WRs active on game days. Janus seems to have the kick return job in hand, and is very valuable for KO and punt coverage teams. Abbrederis is #4 over anyone they might sign, so there is little use for another WR at this point. Cobb, Adams and Jones aren't going anywhere.Originally Posted by Fritz
Oh, I agree. It does make a lot of sense. I just meant that I think most people were hoping Montgomery would come back in another two games, and that adding Quarless would mean that for the last three or so games you'd have both Montgomery and Quarless back to try to get the passing game going.
I suppose the hope now is that Abbrederis can play and not be injured every fourth play, and that Quarless can at least be a steadying, slightly-better option than Richard "Sack of Flour" Rodgers.

WR Ty Montgomery out, CB Damarious Randall and both #Packers centers among those questionable for #Lions game: http://pck.rs/1QeTVdw
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
I just read about Tretter on another site. Supposedly if he or Linsley can't go at center, Lang will have to fill in there.
And Rodgers thought he was running for his life the last few weeks. Wait till tomorrow.
I think at this point in the Packer's season, if they are questionable and on the OL or a WR they pretty much HAVE to play.
The Nate Palmer watch begins. Light a candle.
Bob's prescription?
Fire some players. You think you are hurt Cobb? Watch me cut James Jones. That'll heal you right up.

Funny. Bob was singing hosannas about Nowak prior to Week 1.

An evenhanded article would point out that what Thompson is doing now is the same thing he was doing as he built this team into a Super Bowl Champion. Not that the other way can't work. There's just more than one way to maintain a roster.
IF the Packers have success this season, there will be a McGinn article about the wisdom of steering a steady ship and not panicking.
Of course, McSpinn would like us to guess who those seven guys are whom he thinks should be cut. But what I'd like to know is which seven players Bob knows are out there, available, and better than what's on the roster.
Or is the point simply to create fear? I'm not sure. He held Wolf up as a model, but Wolf didn't cut people just to cut people - he was constantly turning over the bottom of the roster to try to upgrade. I'm not sure any of those cuts ever scared Mike Wahle into playing harder. Then McSpinn held up the Dom Capers/Barry Foster example of just cutting someone in order to produce an effect.
So, I'm not sure what he's after, exactly - cutting guys to create fear, or cutting guys because there are better guys out there.

Yay! More sensationalist, scare-tactics journalism! I'm already reading more articles!
No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
Bob says 2 are starters. Any guesses? I'll go with Richard Rodgers and Nate Palmer.
I'd be on board with benching both of them. But not cutting them. Unless there's a guy on the street who is magically better.

Cleaning house in December would be very odd timing. There is a shortage of players.
Bostick? Geez Bob, I didn't even have to think for more than a second to find a flaw in your brilliant hypothesis. It's just that the Packers don't do it like they are on the Apprentice because, well, that gets you hated by players and scouts and other managers and just about everyone.
Plus, we find it's always better to fire people on a Friday. Studies have statistically shown that there's less chance of an incident if you do it at the end of the week.

McGinn has totally gone off the deep end.

Fire McGinn!
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

That would certainly make me work harder.
Yeah, when you are relying on deep psychological analysis of someone you barely know to support your point, you have officially gone off the deep end.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
OK, now he has me hooked. 7 players to jettison, 2 starters.
On offense it could be Jones or Rodgers. But I am not sure even Bob is advocating cutting your TE off to spite your offense. So Jones on offense.
Masthay on ST? Might deserve it, and punters are the one commodity you can usually find in a day laborer line.
On defense it could be Guion (what was that contract?) since Pennell is taking his snaps, Palmer or Mulumba at LB and I am guessing Hayward at CB.
So I have six, but 3 starters. Anyone else?
Backups could be anyone on PS, hardly a challenge. Backups on roster: Backman, Tolzien (? maybe he looked funny at Michael Cohen), Goodson (goldbrick with illness), Gunter (be inactive on the unemployment line), Kuhn (age discrimination my ass), Janis (? counter-intuitive Bob pick-if Packers don't trust him, why keep his around?).
