Practice squad

[Harlan Huckleby]

Abby signed. Packers have cake, eat it too.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Rotherdam and Perillo also signed.

[Harlan Huckleby]

It took me two weeks to learn to spell my-man Vujnovich's name, and now he's gone? :cry:

I guess if a guy is 25, there is not much hope he will get much more big and powerful. Steroids - the good old days.


My expert judgement is that Perillo has already peaked. But fuckin TT thinks he knows better than me. Arrogant ass.

#Packers have not reached out to CB Tay Glover-Wright about practice squad, per source. "I don't think that's in their mix right now."

Weston Hodkiewicz ‏@WesHod 2h2 hours ago
It doesn't appear the #Packers are bringing back safety Jean Fanor on their practice squad. I thought he'd get a look there

I think Patler's right. When the D Lineman get back, one of the DBs is getting put on PS.

Carl Bradford? Hoping he gets better is about like hoping your 70 year old wife gets better looking next year.

Back in the Green and Gold can't wait to lambeau leap again. Thank you God for another chance to play… https://instagram.com/p/7TSyb2x0E3/

Don't care it probably won't mean much this year. Glad this kid is still around.

Disappointed with no Vaughters on the squad...

Speaking of 70-year-old-eyes, check list again

[smuggler]

Heh. I'm probably the youngest poster, but sometimes you whiff. Glad he made it.

A Google search confirmed it in any case. Haha.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Add Crockett to the list. That makes me happy.

#Packers considered keeping QB Matt Blanchard on practice squad, but ultimately decided 4 QBs was simply too many, per a league source.

It is until you need them. But you can't plan for everything.

[Fritz]

Don't they remember two years ago? Seneca Wallace, Vince Young, etc.

That's why there are 3 currently, one a draft pick, and none named Graham or BJ.

Bob McGinn ‏@BobMcGinn 20m20 minutes ago
DT Christian Ringo, the Packers' sixth-round pick, decided to return on Packers' P-squad after deciding against a P-squad offer from #Texans

[HarveyWallbangers]

If I was Ringo, I might have taken the Texans offer. #6 on the depth chart now is really #8 on the depth chart at DL.

[smuggler]

Depends. Packers might have offered more cash. Also, depends where you might feel the coaching is better.

#9 would probably be whoever gets cut to make room for James Jones.

[Carolina_Packer]

So, will it be Myles White, Chris Banjo, Josh Walker or someone else? Hopefully, whoever it is can be re-signed to the PS. They could sign with with another team's PS, but that seems less likely.

[Pugger]

Boyd perhaps?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Boyd perhaps?

I doubt they'd roll with just 4 DL.

[Pugger]

Then they might let a DB go. Do we really need 11 of 'em?

[HarveyWallbangers]

I think it's a possibility that Goodson goes. Maybe Harris. You have to think there's a reason they are keeping one practice squad spot open. It might mean Myles White is safe for now (and Banjo and Richardson). I'm not sure those guys have practice squad eligibility left. White would seem to be the logical choice to get cut--since they have five solid WRs now and Abbrederis on the practice squad. However, they may be concerned about the health of Cobb and Montgomery, and they may want to reward White for his hard work. Then, they could cut White when they bring Jones off the suspended list.

[HarveyWallbangers]

One of the beat writers posted a tweet that Harris was informed that he won't be the one cut to make room for Jones. Goodson or White perhaps?

[smuggler]

Can't be White, if JJ was brought in to address WR injuries, I'd think.

[pbmax]

Can't be White, if JJ was brought in to address WR injuries, I'd think.

Actually, that might be telling when they do it. If they are worried about Cobb Week 1, no way does White get let go. But if he does, then it makes a bit more sense.

EDIT: supposed to be .... But if (Cobb) goes (in Week 1), then (White's release) makes a bit more sense.

Autocorrect makes it hard to type in telegraph.

[Patler]

Agreed. Jones might be here to address the WR experience issue more than a WR injury issue.

[mraynrand]

Packers need receivers with more experience dropping critical passes? :)

I agree. He's active and maybe could become a fill-in and special teamer if/when he figures it out, but his physical limitations will be very tough to offset.

I mean there's only so much you can do to overcome it all....

Former #Packers RB Rajion Neal signed to the #Dolphins practice squad.

Between NE, Oakland, Kansas City and Miami, its like having a farm system.

Good luck Rageon.

A lot of QBs work with their receivers in the off-season to develop timing, etc with those guys. Rodgers has never done this. Interesting.

[pbmax]

An intern must have slipped this one past Ted. Packers signed CB Robertson Daniel, from some other pro team (Raiders).

That leaves nine, room for Myles.

[Joemailman]

http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/2015/CB/Robertson-Daniel


Robertson Daniel
School: BYU
Position: CB
Bio: Junior-college transfer who started the past two seasons. Senior totals included 44 tackles, 1 INT and 14 PBUs after career-best 66 tackles the prior year.
Positive: Nice-sized cornerback best in zone coverage. Fluid backpedaling, tracks the pass in the air and shows good route recognition. Quick up the field defending screen passes or the run, has a burst of closing speed and shows good anticipation.
Negative: Gets turned on occasion. Bites on receivers moves then gets beat deep. Not a sure handed tackler.
Analysis: Daniels is a nice-sized prospect who showed more flashes than consistency and a cornerback who must play well on special teams this summer.

Another project for Joe Whitt. Negatives look like things that can be worked on.

Yeah interesting prospect. We won't see or hear boo from him now unless he sticks all year and shows up next offseason. Just checking out a couple vids on him, he looks like he might have a little Gunter in him but with 4.4 speed. Like you said Joe it looks like his weaknesses are correctable while his possible strengths can't be taught.

[pittstang5]

Sounds like White won't be put on the PS. Instead, they'll put Ed Williams there.

From his performance this summer, I'd say White is NFL ready. The problem with putting him on PS is some team will sign him as soon as injuries happen. I was impressed with his improvement. Some have posted that he is not a downfield burner, but he clearly is plenty quick.

Myles be nibble, Myles be quick, Myles jump over the candlestick.

Are you suggesting he's the clubhouse favorite for the Bruce Wilkerson Award?

That's gotta by Jones at this point. Maybe Adams. But Long was a very good tackle until he got really banged up.

I am not saying its doable, just that he is available.

Atlanta does need O line help. They were reshuffling last week. But you never know.

What was Long's injury anyway?

[pbmax]

ACL tear I think. Problem is, recently, his body just seems to be one injury right after another. He is 30, so its not exactly the same as the Packers trusting Bulaga to regain his form.

[smuggler]

Long is done. Too many injuries. At one time he was a veritable HoF candidate...

A shame, but it happens to everyone eventually.

Can someone clear something up, please? I thought when the Packers signed Ed Williams instead of trying to re-sign Myles White (assuming he cleared waivers) that they already had their 10 practice squad players lined up. Now I heard about Robertson Daniel, CB from BYU. Was he on the original list of 10 and I missed it? Did they get rid of someone else to make room for Daniel? I was trying to find a story online, but only saw that he was signed, not that there was a player let go.

[Joemailman]

I think they originally had 8 of their own guys. Daniel was 9, and Williams was 10. I don't think they released anybody from the practice squad.

[Carolina_Packer]

So my curiosity question then is, did they offer Myles White a spot on the practice squad? If they had just waited for White to clear waivers, they could have saved him a spot on the practice squad, unless he said forget that. They weren't likely going to add Williams and White because they were targeting Daniel and depth at his position of CB. It seems odd that you don't try to get the guy back on your practice squad if you gave him a spot on the 53. So, I have to figure that even if the Packers made the offer, he likely turned it down to open up the spot for Williams. It would seem odd to not try and sign back "one of your own".

Someone posted a link (Harlan I think) that White was looked for more than PS baseline pay to agree to PS.
