Upcoming roster decisions

[Joemailman]

People in this forum seem too hyper over the concussion thing. I've seen it many times regarding Abbrederis; Now the same with Shields. Maybe his career will turn to shit, but as likely as not, he will go on for a decent period without incident. Speculation by a bunch of know-nothings serves no useful purpose.

Regarding Josh Hawkins, I really hope they don't get rid of him. The Packers have a history - disturbing IMO - of keeping less athletic "safe" players, and letting higher potential ones go or sitting them ad infinitum. Shields was one of very few players over the years where they departed from this and went with the high potential guy, and look how that turned out. I really like the coverage skills I see in Hawkins. I see him as having a higher ceiling that Randall and maybe Rollins.

Then what are we doing here?

Good Point, but sometimes it seems like I'm reading crap from a bunch of silly old ladies who get all worked up over very little. I would assume there are a helluva lot of players great and not so great around the league in the same boat as Shields and Abbrederis, and 1 or 3 or 5 years from now, most of them will still be keeping on keeping on.

Discussing the possibility doesn't mean anyone is worked up over it. It will be or won't be, whats wrong with discussing it? I haven't seen any comment that looked like anyone was particularly worried about it. Not much different than discussing the upcoming game/team, who will make the roster or who will be resigned or let go.

You are right, just rub a little dirt on it and get back out there!

Old school. Now they inject the synthetic dirt particles directly into your spinal fluid.

Shredded retreads?

Either that or the recycled athletic shoe rubber they use in Field Turf.

Also helps build up resistance to infection from synthetic fiber burns.
