View Full Version : Biggest name cut from 09 roster

Anyone want to put their good name on the line and predict the biggest name that will be straight up cut this year?

Every year we see it. That one name that makes you stop and look back at the headline to make sure you're reading the right article. "They cut that guy?" you ask aloud. "What?" your wife asks, pretending to sound interested after noting you're reading the sports section. You could answer with any name you want from Jake Allen to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Steely Dan and she wouldn't know the difference. But to you it makes a difference because at the very least you would have thought a trade would have been worked out. But it wasn't. And all you can imgaine is Ted Thompson saying, "Pack yo' bags bitch."

I would have made a poll, that seems to defeat the idea of the cut being a surprise if one were to make a list of those susceptible to the blind side roster cut.

Biggest name?

Evan Dietrich-Smith. It's the biggest name on the roster by a couple letters, I think. :oops:

Does it have to be, like, a starter?

I'll say Tony Moll, but as a "name" he is probably only has name recognition with PR posters and his immediate family.

He has started in his career, that counts for something.

Ted Thompson would trade his mother if he thought he could get a draft pick for her. I don't think Ted understands the loyalty you refer to. When Ruvell becomes the #6 receiver he'll be gone, even if he's carrying Rodgers love child.

To get this thread back on track...

Later in his solo career, yes. But for "Taking It To The Streets" he was recording with the Doobie Brothers, whose name should tell you all you need to know about their sound.

He also sang backup on every single song in the 1980s. It was a Federal Law.

However, voice aside, he will be free for reunion concerts on Sunday.

Biggest name cut will be DeShawn Wynn. I thought about Bigby and Poppinga, but Bigby is better than what we've got (even though I think the guy is wildly overrated) and Poppinga has a relatively fresh contract. So Wynn's my guess.

And I am concerned about Ruvell because of Ted's unpredictability and because, as RG said, Ted probably doesn't consider the relationship between A-Rod and Ruvell. Those guys are best buds. A-Rod would be extremely upset if Ruvell was cut and you'd have to wonder about his moral.

All of that aside, Ruvell is still the 5th best WR on the team. Jake Allen and Brett Swain are not worth cutting Ruvell.

I would like to think Rodgers is mature enough to realize that a) Ruvell is a marginal NFL talent and that b) what's best for the team is always going to come before who's friends with who. If cutting Ruvell Martin affected Rodger's morale to a concerning degree, then we are truly fucked at QB.



All of that aside, Ruvell is still the 5th best WR on the team. Jake Allen and Brett Swain are not worth cutting Ruvell.

He may be the 5th best WR, but what's his value outside of that? How many 5 WR sets are we going to roll out this season? Do you pull Lee or Finley off the field for a below average 5th WR?

If Ruvell can't separate himself from this year's WR fodder, they may decide to keep one of the other guys on the 53 man roster for their potential since apparently Ruvell is as good as he's going to get, and it's not terribly good.

Ruvell Martin came up with a huge play Vs Arizona to keep our pre-season record out of the loss column. It wouldn't be good karma to cut Ruvell Martin. Wondering!? Does Ted cares about karma?

I'm sure Aaron well aware of the hard knocks attitude of the NFL and that he knows any player can be gone at any time; however, I have no problem keeping a 5th WR (a WR who actually possesses something none of other other WRs have, height) who can play special teams and has been with the team for awhile. Yes, you could make an argument that maybe a 2nd FB or an Nth LB would benefit us more than Ruvell would. But, when you're at the point of deciding who the 53rd man is then it's close to a crapshoot anyway. You may end up cutting the next Hunter Hillenmeyer or you may just be cutting Taco Wallace. It's not as bad as the draft, but it's close. If a guy hasn't distinguished himself as a definite addition to the team than I have no problem keeping a player like Ruvell whose influences extend beyond gameday.

I'm going to agree with administrator. Get the fuck out my thread. Make a new thread in the RR or GC that's titled "feline fight" and have at it there. Then those who want to read these exchanges, which aren't even clever, can read them there without having our Ruvell Martin conversation interrupted. If you're going to try to insult each other, you could at least try to be funny or entertaining about it. This is like watching Sponge Bob and Patrick fight.

This may have been true in previous years, but this year there are going to be more difficult decisions to make at several positions. Ruvell's had his chance to show he's not just a taller Taco and hasn't really done that. I just think the flexibility of our TEs may spell the end of Ruvell's reign as the worst WR on the roster.

Actually, RM's run for the td was a bonehead play. If RM had merely returned it and then went down....we run out the clock and win. Instead it gave the Cards another opportunity.

If it were the regular season perhaps he would have just gone out of bounds or gone down. But, with it being the preseason, there's no harm in him returning it for a laugh with a few seconds left.

Tell that to (forget who) who was near suicidal with the thought we would lose the game.

How can we know what he would do? Preseason or not, we practice and play as if to mirror the regular season. Certainly not the kinda play we expect out of a vet.

Ruvell's days are numbered. I am not advocating cutting him, but i won't shed a tear either.

I believe the biggest name to be cut by the Packers will be Brian Brohm. I was a big Brohm fan when the Packers drafted him...but I believe the Packers will trade/pick up after cuts a veteran QB. Hopefully Thigpen but I also here Feeley is available via trade. Brohm will be the odd man out when another QB is added.

I agree for the most part. This year's cuts are gonna be much tougher than previous years. We're gonna have tougher questions than whether or not to cut V-Money Morency. But Ruvell is no Taco. He had a down year last year, remember. He had 4 TDs in 2008. He just needs to be thrown the ball more. But, I agree, having Driver, Jennings, Jones, and Nelson as WRs and then Lee and Finley at TE it's hard to see where he could get looks.

Thigpen? Really?

Did anybody watch that guy last year. He is awful.

1. He couldn't beat out huard or croyle...and those guys are guys
2. He sucked in a pro style offense
3. He racked up #s when they went to the spread. Why the spread, cause he ran it at CC.
4. The pack doesn't run the spread or the wildcat.

Three pages in and unless I missed it nobody said Justin Harrell? He's almost certainly headed for the IR if he's not likely to get on the field soon, but there's a chance they've simply had enough.

Maybe Pat Lee, but he'll be more likely to join Harrell on the IR.

Brohm better hope Flynn is either healthy enough to be the #2 right away or hurt so bad he goes on IR. If he's in the middle and they need to bring in another QB, Brohm's probably gone.

I agree with most of this...like number 3 and 4. But I don't think he sucks. He's a big guy with a big arm. He can scramble, too. If I remember correctly...he won a few games for KC last year.

I believe the biggest name to be cut by the Packers will be Brian Brohm. I was a big Brohm fan when the Packers drafted him...but I believe the Packers will trade/pick up after cuts a veteran QB. Hopefully Thigpen but I also here Feeley is available via trade. Brohm will be the odd man out when another QB is added.

Thigpen? Really?

Did anybody watch that guy last year. He is awful.

1. He couldn't beat out huard or croyle...and those guys are guys
2. He sucked in a pro style offense
3. He racked up #s when they went to the spread. Why the spread, cause he ran it at CC.
4. The pack doesn't run the spread or the wildcat.

I agree with most of this...like number 3 and 4. But I don't think he sucks. He's a big guy with a big arm. He can scramble, too. If I remember correctly...he won a few games for KC last year. I didn't follow them close...but I caught some highlights last year and he looks better than Brohm and Flynn.

He won 1 game.

He was horrible till they switched to the spread. 14 of 30 something against raiders, 14 of 36 against the falcs with 3 ints.

Until they switched he was awful.

He is an athlete, no doubt, but i highly doubt he can run our offense...my god, he couldn't do shit in the power running game of KCs.

Brohm...i'm of the opinion we give him a bit more time. I watched how poorly leinart looked and now the game has slowed down and he is clearly a much better QB. Not saying Brohm will ever be as good, but i think he can be a game manager type like Ty detmer.

Hey, if they want to cut brohm, let's at least replace him with a guy who can run the offense. If not, then we shoulda signed vick.

I can distinctly recall after Thigpen's first 2 games how awful he was and our local sports talk radio discussing the lack of good qb's playing the game...i hadn't even heard of him...so, i started paying attention.

can't cut I dropped the biggest pass of my life Martin cause we don't have a replacement near him who plays specials.

I could see Poppinga or Bigby at some point this year. No way do we cut Brohm; I think TTT would get a 7th round pick for him instead if they really want to get rid of him

Everyone should know I pray each night that Bigby is one of those cuts. Thompson hasn't let me down yet. Herron. Dendy. Hunter. The weak links have been eliminated. But we are too thin at safety to cut him. I'm simply hoping 29 gets the starting job at this point. Bigby can rehab his career on ST if he's such a fucking big hitter.

As far as cutting Martin, I don't know if we need a 5th WR. If we're going to carry Jarrett fucking Bush to plat ST, maybe keeping the 2nd FB instead of the 5th WR makes sense if we carry 2 WRs on the PS in case of injury. Ruvell is not a ST force, and if you're going to be the 5th WR on an offensively talented team, you need something other than, "Hey, I'm tall ya'll."

He also sang backup on every single song in the 1980s. It was a Federal Law.
However, voice aside, he will be free for reunion concerts on Sunday.

I think it would be best if you (and everyone) just stay out of the disagreements in general. I agree that Partial has been a much improved poster since coming back. He may have started this thing with Sheepshead, he may not, I haven't even checked. Joe has shown that he will take action when necessary. I'm sure it is hard enough for him to stop an argument when there are 2 people going back and forth. It just makes it that much harder when you have 1,2,3 other people chiming in and taking sides.

"...and bless Mom and Dad and my family, as well as the wonderful posters at Packerrats. And please, God, I pray that Atari Bigby is one of the cuts next week. Please, God. If you care at all about safety play in the 3-4 position, you'll see to it that Bigby is tossed into the street. You know he stinks, God. I mean, he's probably a cool guy and all, and maybe you can get him a job selling insurance or something, but please - I pray he is cut. It would mean so much to me, dear God. Oh, and can you feed the starving children in Africa, too? But do Bigby first, okay?

And one more thing: God, I've been faithfully posting pictures of humans loving one another - male humans, I know - for some time, showing the world that man should love man. But in this world of animal abuse - lookit, Mike Vick is playing football again - can't you please help me show people that animals need love, too? Perhaps you could see fit to send some pictures my way - pictures of men loving animals. Whales having the insides of their blow holes caressed. Men using themselves to probe and investigate the inside of an elephant's trunk. Please God I will be so happy if you help me share my message of love.

Thanks, God.

Well, back to the old boring topic.

Saw this quote from Darren Perry,

Safeties coach Darren Perry indicated that the defensive staff is waiting for production from strong safety Atari Bigby.

"He just hasn't made the plays that you would hope," said Perry. "From most people's perspective, he's probably just been a guy. You just have to be careful how much you put into that. "

One of the benefits of new coaches is they see the players as they are and have no baggage regarding their former level of play.

I think Bigby gets cut.

He is an "emergency" QB, not a back-up QB. Although he might have a better chance at making the roster as a QB than a WR at this point. And he showed us all just how awesome is is at holding kicks last game. I've already pointed that out as a reason to cut him.

Ruvell Martin being cut wouldn't suprise me at all. He's in his fourth season I believe, and if he had upside, we'd be seing it by now. Maybe his time's not up, but it's close. Better to leave the spot for someone who hasn't topped out or is nearing the top.

Now, regarding the WR's we are gonna keep. Brett Swain, Jake Allen, and Ruvell Martin are fighting for that 5th spot. Swain has shown tiny flashes, Allen looks OK with the 2's sometimes, but he doesn't impress me a lot. Which guy has beaten out Martin or do we figure the "tall one with hands of stone at the wrong, critical time" has topped out and we get new toy?

In addition to the whining and shit, I've heard some pretty lame stuff on this thread.

Now, regarding the WR's we are gonna keep. Brett Swain, Jake Allen, and Ruvell Martin are fighting for that 5th spot. Swain has shown tiny flashes, Allen looks OK with the 2's sometimes, but he doesn't impress me a lot. Which guy has beaten out Martin or do we figure the "tall one with hands of stone at the wrong, critical time" has topped out and we get new toy?

Which is it?

Martin.

My favorite Martin.

Next one, by anyone, and it's gone. And the poster that does it, goes too.


Smart ass comments are everywhere; you choose to be that guy who goes further.

If Administrator is going to be true to his word, Bretsky is banned now. He had to get that last lick in. :lol:

I don't think the Administrator plays favorites, in the sense that people that get disciplined have earned their whippin. But I don't like that generally well-behaved people are allowed to insert themselves into arguments, acting as Deputy Barney Fifes. "Nip it in the bud!" In my highly valued opinion, it would be best that we have one and only one Vice Principal patroling the hallway in our Junior High. That would cut-down about half the bickering.

And one more thing: God, I've been faithfully posting pictures of humans loving one another - male humans, I know - for some time, showing the world that man should love man. But in this world of animal abuse - lookit, Mike Vick is playing football again - can't you please help me show people that animals need love, too? Perhaps you could see fit to send some pictures my way - pictures of men loving animals. Whales having the insides of their blow holes caressed. Men using themselves to probe and investigate the inside of an elephant's trunk. Please God I will be so happy if you help me share my message of love.

Proof that God exists and he does answer prayers,

As for the topic of the thread, Bigby and Martin are candidates but there seem to be no clearly better alternatives behind either one. - Smith at safety might be a marginal improvement as a starter, but do you then need to find another backup or is Charlie Bush or Jarret Peprah your man?

And is Swain or Allen marekedly better than Ruvell "I'm tall so I'm on the team" Martin?

I do not know, but as a fan I conjure up dreams of that impossible wild trade where Thompson sends Tony Moll and, oh, Brian Brohm to some team in exchange for a high-level starting safety.

Harlan - I think you got the substance of this; see the smiley face after Bretsky being banned comment, however, do you see what you started?

Partial - You really should educate yourself before you pop off sounding like an idiot. Bretsky posted within a minute after I did, he clearly did not have time to read my post before he responded. You know Bretsky; do you honestly think he'd have made a comment after seeing my post? I've never met the guy, but I know from his posts there is zero possibility of that. You have met the guy, so surely, you should know better than I. Yet, you pop off, uninformed as usual.

Absolutely he could. What I think saves him is that the other safeties are banged up, and Smith isn't consistent, though he's flashed good things.

the biggest knock I've read on smith is that he can't run. Not sure they'll take a chance on him starting unless he changes his consistency.

On that basis, I think Bigby makes it, but I'm not sure he's on the team all year.

Well, I've never been a fan of the harrell pick. Ted should have drafted any of a number of people over harrell. It was a shermanesque pick. Ted fell in love, and it didn't work out.

I feel for the guy tho. Harrell could have probably played if it weren't for the back, but there was a clear history of multiple injury issues that Ted chose to ignore.

I don't know how you can say that. It may be the case, or it may be that Ted was willing to take a risk on a player with a lot of upside.

The risk didn't pan out.

Is it Shermanesque because he is a bust? Or are you implying that Ted's judgment was clouded?

That's kinda where I'm at. I thought maybe Swain would show some mad skills, but his play seems to be tailing off, by the JSO reports.

If the last three are equally not-that-great, why make the switch when Ruvell Martin can at least do a good Brett Favre imitation and is buds with Aaron Rodgers?

Well, for me it's kind of simple. Ted is always portrayed as this methodical, deep thinking, unemotional talent evaluator who sets his price, and that's it. Not a penny more.

Then, you look at this draft. We drafted 16th. Damn good talent on the board. Harrell was good talent, I agree with that, but he was "damaged goods" too. The injury history was glaring. For someone who approaches things the way Ted does, Harrell complete with his injury history should have been less than the value of the 16th pick.

There were other players who should have had as good of a grade as Harrell did, but they had less risk associated with them. Reggie Nelson was one, there were others, including Bretsky's love child Meachem. That was the draft, right?

I think Thompson minimized Harrell's warts and got burned. It happens, and we move on. Off BPA for a second, our DL was a heck of a lot more solid than other parts of the team at that point. It made the Harrell pick even more risky in my opinion.

Robert Meachem: More Work With First Team
RotoWire.com Staff - RotoWire.com
Aug 23, 1:52 pm EDT

Meachem played more with the first team offense than last week, catching two passes for 27 yards in Saturday night’s preseason game in Houston, reports the Times-Picayune.

Recommendation: For the second week in a row
Meachem outperformed incumbent starter Devery Henderson(notes). Slowly, he might be making a push to start alongside Marques Colston(notes) in the Saints’ high-powered offense. He still remains an intriguing sleeper option in most leagues and, if he were to start, would see an even greater increase in value.

That is another aspect of it.

Also, with Perry here, all the safeties have stopped peeking in the backfield. I pretty much get he won't allow it. Collins, Rouse, and Bigby were 3 of the biggest peekers I've ever seen. Now they have proper technique.

Perry could be saying to all of 'em to do right and you will be all right.

To get this thread back on track...

Later in his solo career, yes. But for "Taking It To The Streets" he was recording with the Doobie Brothers, whose name should tell you all you need to know about their sound.

He also sang backup on every single song in the 1980s. It was a Federal Law.

Harrell's future depends in part upon Mike Montgomery. It looks like Jarius Wynn is in - he seems to have attracted too much positive attention to be able to sign to a practice squad - so Montgomery's performance level is what the coaches must be studying closely.

Do they want to keep him because he's reliable and stays on the field, and just stash Harrell to give him a full season/offseason to heal?

Or is Harrell feeling better - enough so that the coaches think he can play this year? If they cut Montgomery, do they think he might still be around to be signed if Harrell's back goes south again? Montgomery did not get any offers this past season, I don't think; however, he seems to have bulked up and is playing okay, as far as what I've read - and DE's are always in demand.

And if they choose to put Harrell on IR, what are the chances that he'll eat his way into a weight that could hurt him and his back?

As for this thread, one name that I don't remember being mentioned (though maybe it has been) is Pat Lee. That guy could play the lead role in the next remake of The Invisible Man.

After my comment that Underwood has been flying under the radar, naturally there's a big ol' article today in the JSO about the guy...an odd article, by the way. The first part is about how great he's been coming on, but the last part talks about how clueless he was when he first showed up and how crappy he played against Arizona. Weird.

Anyway, how many corners/safeties does a team generally keep? Eight or nine? I'm wondering if maybe Thompson cuts Lee and hopes no one notices, or if he tries to IR him to stash him for a year.

Nah, I don't want Bigby to suck. I want him to do well. He's kinda like a poor man's Chuck Cecil. Man he can hit, but that's about it.

I was hoping he'd come around, and I guess that is still possible, but it is looking less likely.

Wasn't Lee a 2nd round pick.
That could possibly mean Lee 2nd, Brohm 2nd, Harrel? 1st getting the axe.
I think we should give em all 1 more year.

Lee was a 2nd round pick.
But you say he was in the second line of your post.

I'm a bit confused.

Skin, the extra "F's" were to emphasize my belief that there is no "F'in" way we cut a talented guy like Crosby.

Chcuk Cecil was only a dirty player when he wasn't playing for Green Bay.

Just looking out for you. Of course you'd probably be dead by now, but it's the thought that counts, right?

In case you didn't catch it, it was called "sarcasm." I don't think Mason Crosby should be cut, HOWEVER Thompson does seem to have a weird pattern with kickers. When it comes to a few positions on this team (Kicker, Punter, Guard), I wouldn't put anything past old Ted.

Careful, there are those on here that will not tolerate sarcasm or any attempt at humor of any kind. Just a heads up.

straw man fallacy noun - 'straw 'man 'fal u see: a commonly used strategy used against the Green Bay Packer management that occurs when one misrepresents or invents the opponent's view in an attempt to discredit them and/or their actual position. The straw man fallacy does not consist of stating the opponent's actual position, but only in stating it inaccurately and/or exaggerating it to the point of ridiculousness. The straw man argument is created expressly for the purpose of knocking it down, and is intended to give the appearance of successfully refuting the original argument, thus creating the impression that it has refuted a position that someone actually holds. However, the straw man argument is typically counterproductive, as it is an extremely weak, ineffective, unfunny and unpersuasive strategy. Others who read straw man arguments typically see those using them as weak, dishonest, and easy to debunk - similar to an actual straw man.

Michael Montgomery is a goner.If you go back a few pages you will see I mentioned Ruvell as the big axe job. Of course no one said nothing until some whitey mentions him then talk began.

In other words, STFU.

I am sorry, but one on topic post does not qualify anyone for future off topic posts. If you can glance at the rulebook compiled by Harlan, page 89, and check the Scott Campbell Exception subparagraph C, on being funny enough that no one realizes you are off topic. Perhaps this can help.

Favre just got fined $10,000 and with Kevin Jones out for the Bears' season, I predict Thompson keeps 5 running backs unless he can swing a trade.
