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!
