Thread: Ricky Jean Francois cut

  1. #41
    There are five on the roster and only two will be on the field at a time. Depth is a little precarious until Adams is ready to play, but assuming that happens fairly quickly five doesn't seem like far too few. Maybe the real silver lining in RJF's demise is that the team thinks Adams is almost ready.

    i could be wrong but i think it's 11 now. it was 10 of the original 53. panky makes it 11.

    yes i'm wrong. it's 10-1 now.

    And none of them can block there way out of a paper bag on run plays, and none of them are anything special at pass blocking either. Heaven help us if Rodgers wasn't so damn good at avoiding the pass rush. Hundley, who is more mobile than a lot of QBs, couldn't even keep from getting sacked way too many times. Plus they are all big fat nothings on kick offs, kick returns, and covering and receiving punts.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    Rodgers was at least partially at fault on many of his sacks against Sea. He rediscovered the quick hitting plays in the second half, which will be the key against Atl.

    +1 The neighbors barely heard me shouting at the TV "Throw the damn ball!" in the 2nd half.
    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.

    Continues to be the only weakness in his game...you would take with a former WR at RB he would look for the check down more often.

    Which means the Packers can sign him to their active roster if they think he has an NFL future better than their guys.

    We could have signed him back to our practice squad instead of the Lions. There are no waiver claims for practice squads. Either he didn't want to be here, or we didn't want him on the practice squad.

    Glad to see gunter gone. for this defense he was never going to be more than the 5th cb. time is better spent coaching up some young guys with speed

    I wouldn't put it that way, since by all accounts Gunter was a good guy who made the absolute most of his abilities.

    I would say that I'm glad that the Packers have 6 better/faster players than the guy who lined up against J. Jones in the NFCC game.

    Gunter never figured out how to use his size to his advantage. Al Harris wasn't fast, but he knew how to disrupt the timing of pass patterns in the first 5 yards. I never thought Gunter did.

    Young Al ran a 4.45, Gunter 4.65. Older, slower Harris was also a master of the hold on every play strategy until they give up and stop calling it (similar to Seattle's CB's these days).

    definitely. no problem with his character at all. just think he had a low ceiling.

    And....he's back?

    The #Packers have agreed to terms to bring back DT Ricky Jean Francois, source said. A brief hiatus but now he's back.

    We should cross reference this in the former packer dream thread.

    I don't think the team needs 3 rookie backup HBs. Make a decision there.
