Demovsky Projection of 53 Man Roster

I'd almost expect IR for Adams at this point, so Price has the door open I believe.

For Biegel, recent press indicates he might be ramping up to join practice, but it this also might simply be the weekly recitation that he isn't ready yet. It would be a tough call to start him on PUP, since he can't practice. But I don't know if they can carry a non-playing OLB for long. They are going to have to accommodate Allison too.

This doesn't sound great for Biegel short-term:

On Friday, Biegel sat down with Jason Wilde and Mark Tauscher of ESPN Wisconsin to discuss his recovery, and he confirmed that as far as the bones of his foot go, everything is fully healed structurally. He then explained the final goal of his rehab before being cleared: “The biggest thing is being able to get the ‘pop’ back in the foot,” Biegel said.

What exactly does that ‘pop’ refer to? “It’s being able to take not just my body weight but the body weight of an NFL offensive lineman,” Biegel explained. As a 246-pound outside linebacker, Biegel will likely be facing offensive tackles more than 50 pounds heavier than him. Therefore, the strain on the muscles and tendons of the foot will need to be able to hold up under the stress of pushing off and engaging with those linemen.

Biegel, who currently remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list, is not dwelling on the possibility that he might start the regular season on the PUP and missing the first six games. “Whatever the process is, I’m not worried about it,” he said. “When I take the field for the Green Bay Packers, I want to make sure I’m 110% ready to go. (The trainers) have a great course of action for me to get back on the field.”

Sounds like the bone has full reconnected but the Doc isn't seeing enough new bone growth to make him believe it will hold up yet. Rodgers went through same thing with his clavicle.

I don't understand the two fullback thing.

[pbmax]

I don't understand the two fullback thing.

I agree. Less likely this year with 3 or 4 TEs, two of whom can block.

Special teams. I think he'll contribute more than any of the players I'm leaving out.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Biegel's rookie year is toast. Maybe special teams.

[Brandon494]

Half the league doesn't even carry a fullback anymore...zero chance we keep two imo

They proved last year that logic is irrelevant.

They proved last year that logic is irrelevant.

How so?

[Joemailman]

How so?

Last year the Packers kept Ripkowski and activated Kerridge for 8 games. The Year before they kept Riplowski and Kuhn.

Year before I understand but last year was more due to injuries at RB. Too much talent at other positions for us to carry two FBs but you never know I guess.

[Brandon494]

Might be a stupid question but can we put Adams on PUP in case of injury and then on IR if we don't need him?

No. He practiced a couple of days so he's ineligible for PUP.

[texaspackerbacker]

I think Price stays regardless of Adams. If Adams is IR, then it opens up one more for another position. No way for two fullbacks. I still think they keep all three RB draft picks and maybe cross train Mays as a backup FB. I've been thinking either McCaffrey OR Trevor Davis; I now think McCaffrey is gone and Davis stays. Yes, McCaffrey probably is overrated. We have to keep 3 TEs. From what I've seen, I'd elevate Rodgers over Kendricks. I think we keep 3 QBs and try to PS the 4th. Next week will determine who stays on the 53 between Callahan and Hill. Agreed, several of those backup O Linemen have looked pretty bad; Geoff Gray #74 has looked fairly decent but I doubt they keep him unless he can be a backup Center, though. I actually saw some good things from Spriggs in the NFL Network replay today - more bad than good still, but maybe not as bad as some are saying.

I think Michael Cohen went to Office Depot last weekend and bought loose leaf paper with school supplies.

[pbmax]

If they keep Adams on the roster with virtually no camp they must think he will show up in pass rush in a big way second half of season.

I don't know how to choose between Mays and Jones. Williams can run, block and catch well. But Jones might be as good a runner and Mays is the best pass catcher back there.

So Scout.com implemented a new web design this year. They have gone to more slide shows, though not quite as horrible as the old Bleacher Report site. They also disabled copy and past from the text of the article. This flummoxed me for almost a month, until I remembered the laptop can make a PDF from any page displayed.

Vogel punted seven times and averaged 46.9 yards in Thursday’s preseason finale vs. the Los Angeles Rams. Two other numbers should weigh heavily in Vogel’s favor when the Packers pick their 53-man roster on Saturday. First, Vogel averaged 4.60 seconds of hang time. Second, only three of his punts were returned for only 8 yards. Vogel’s first six punts averaged 4.81 seconds of hang time and resulted in minus-6 return yards.

If I were in a media company, I would give serious thought to mailing copies of the material out each week for subscriptions. Saturday Evening Post style.

Well, thank goodness Vogel didn't shank two or three.

I guess he's the punter.
