King was in with the 1's and House yesterday after Gunter got hurt deep on the first day by Adams/Rodgers.

When the Packers signed 37-year-old Jeff Saturday to start at center in 2012, there were signs early in camp he’d hit the wall. By season’s end, he no longer was the starter. No such red flags so far with six-time Pro Bowler Jahri Evans, who turns 34 later this month and is replacing T.J. Lang at right guard. Evans has been a crafty run blocker and fine in pass protection, though he had two false start penalties Saturday night.

-Praying we finally let Gunter go, guy just doesn't have the speed to be a play maker at this level.
-Didn't really like keeping 7 WR but Janis is too vauable on special teams(our new Bush) and Davis has proven to be a play maker as a return man. Don't trust either as WRs though which is why I think they will keep 7.
-I would like to see Tripp make the team at MLB but think he'll be one of the last cuts and we go into the season with only 3 true MLB since we have other guys who can fill in their (Matthews, Burnett, Jones).
-Could also see Mays and Jones switching spots at RB depending how both play the upcoming weeks.

I saw the projections in the Urinal Scented today, and I wondered why they have Richard Rodgers as a lock. Could you go with two tight ends and keep, say, Christian Ringo instead? He seems to be on the outside looking in according to the Urinal, but he seems to have some pass-rushing potential. Better go with that than a TE who, as they say, is what he is? And couldn't Ringo do the same ST work that Rodgers would do, minus the hands?

Nah, I think RichRod is a lock. He's a serviceable TE if one of the other two get hurt, and he plays a key role on some of the ST units (including the hands team!). Cut him and he will sign elsewhere, and then when Kendricks breaks a leg you'll be scanning the waiver wires for someone not named Bostick.
Can't play a two TE offense and cary only one TE.

Bennett and Kendricks?

One backup I meant.

Of course you can...Patriots did
Shit if we kept 3 in 2015 they probably would have another SB ring
Its been a long week apparently. My math and logic skills have abandoned me. And typing and communication aren't in much better shape.
The final correction of my original point was that I don't think its wise to plan to run a lot of 2 TE offense without at least one backup. I doubt M3 wants less than 3 TE; he might want 4.

good point; we used that last roster spot wellShit if we kept 3 in 2015 they probably would have another SB ring
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
8 O linemen, 3 TEs, 7 WRs, 3 QBs, 3 Kicking game spec., 4 RBs, 1 FB, 6 D Linemen, 5 OLBs, 3 ILBs, 6 Corners, 5 Safetys - This position breakdown seems about right to me. We could easily keep 3 QBs and 7 WRs or maybe even 2 QBs and 8 WRs, and still do justice to all other position groups.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Wilde has a roster out: http://host.madison.com/wsj/sports/f...8892ba74e.html
Locks
QB (2 or 3): Aaron Rodgers, Brett Hundley
RB (4 or 5): Ty Montgomery, Jamaal Williams, Aaron Ripkowsi
WR (6 or 7): Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Davante Adams, Geronimo Allison, Jeff Janis
TE (3 or 4): Martellus Bennett, Lance Kendricks, Richard Rodgers.
OL (8 or 9): David Bakhtiari, Lane Taylor, Corey Linsley, Jahri Evans, Bryan Bulaga, Jason Spriggs, Kyle Murphy
Offense gets 24 or 25 spots, 20 claimed so far. 4 or 5 from bubble below. Wilde has Murphy, Janis, Allison and Ripper as Looking Good. Because I agree with him and they are logical picks, I have upgraded them to locks listed above.
Quarterbacks (need 1 roster, maybe PS)
On the bubble: Joe Callahan, Taysom Hill
Running backs (need 1 or 2)
On the bubble: Joe Kerridge, Aaron Jones, Devante Mays, Kalif Phillips, William Stanback
Wide receivers (need 1 or 2)
On the bubble: Trevor Davis, DeAngelo Yancey, Malachi Dupre, Max McCaffrey, Michael Clark, Montay Crockett, Colby Pearson
Tight ends (maybe 1)
On the bubble: Emanuel Byrd, Aaron Peck.
Offensive line (need 1 or 2)
On the bubble: Don Barclay, Kofi Amichia, Thomas Evans, Geoff Gray, Justin McCray, Lucas Patrick, Adam Pankey, Robert Leff.

I don't see any interesting position battles this year.
Wilde Roster cont'd: http://host.madison.com/wsj/sports/f...8892ba74e.html
Defense: Gets 24 or 25, Specialists 3
Locks:
DL (5 or 6): Mike Daniels, Kenny Clark, Dean Lowry, Ricky Jean Francois
LB (9 or 10): Clay Matthews, Nick Perry, Jayrone Elliott, Kyler Fackrell, Joe Thomas, Jake Ryan, Blake Martinez
DB (10 or 11): Morgan Burnett, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Kentrell Brice, Josh Jones, Davon House, Damarious Randall, Quinten Rollins, Kevin King, Josh Hawkins
Specialists (3): Mason Crosby
Looking good: Brett Goode, Justin Vogel
That's 20 claimed spots for Defense. Need 4-5 more from bubble. Wilde had Biegel, Martinez and Ryan as looking good. Both ILBs had a good camp and will stick. Biegel might find out the rules of PUP early this year.
Wilde also had Hawkins, Evans and Gunter as looking good. They need another 2 CBs on his roster above the locks listed earlier to get to the now normal 6. I think Hawkins is #5 and put him above under locks.
Emphasis on hybrid safety play might change final numbers. I think Evans is a better prospect than Gunter and if they go safety heavy, he might be DB 10 (5 S, 5 CB) ahead of Gunter. Specialists are just a question of Goode's continued health and Vogel not getting more unpredictable.
Defensive line (need 1 or 2)
On the bubble: Montravius Adams, Christian Ringo, Brian Price, Izaah Lunsford, Calvin Heurtelou (bet my bottom dollar Adams gets IR)
Linebackers (need 2 or 3)
On the bubble: Vince Biegel, Jordan Tripp, Reggie Gilbert, Johnathan Calvin, Cody Heiman, Josh Letuligasenoa, Derrick Matthews, David Talley (bet that Biegel, unless ultra ready, starts on PUP)
Defensive backs (need 1)
On the bubble:: LaDarius Gunter, Marwin Evans, Demetri Goodson, Donatello Brown, Daquan Holmes, Lenzy Pipkins, Raysean Pringle, Aaron Taylor, Jermaine Whitehead (Gunter has been better in practice of late, and if they carry 6 CBs, which they have before, its his spot. But I think Evans is the better player overall)
Specialists (need 0)
On the bubble: Derek Hart (Hart only makes it if Goode collapses or gets hurt. Vogel has the job unless he falls to pieces and another functional punter becomes available. So he is essentially still auditioning for his job)

interesting on D; so many liked Gunter last year. I was listening to a Packer beat writer who's watched several practices compare CB's
He noted Gunter is the ultimate technician with a great attitude. But talent wise and speed wise he noted Hawkins is just much more talented and King is more talented than Hawkins as well

Montravius Adams is a lock; he's Ted's 3rd round draft pick. He'll make the team. Nuff said.
GB is also said to like his pass rushing ability.. as well

Regarding Gunter, he did a fairly good job last year as the team's #1 Corner. It shouldn't be surprising that some people like him despite the lack of speed.
That Wilde roster above seems way off on the numbers by position. I wouldn't be surprised if we keep 3 QBs and the 4th on the practice squad. Wilde seems to think only 4 or 5 RBs including fullback? I really see all three draft picks making the team plus Montgomery and Ripkowski. The toughest cut will be WR. Of the 10 or so maybe worth keeping, I see them putting Dupre on the Practice Squad, making a choice between Davis and McCaffrey, and possibly keeping a total of 8 after the first week when Allison is available. For the O Line, they almost have to keep Barclay or Patrick (I hope Patrick), as there aren't any other trained centers after Linsley.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Unless they give him a redshirt year.
