The Packers worked out linebacker James Davis of West Virginia, linebacker Spencer Havner of UCLA and receiver Burl Toler of Cal.

The New Orleans Saints cut former Packers fullback Vonta Leach.

The San Francisco 49ers cut receiver Cory Rodgers from their practice squad. Rodgers was a fourth-round draft pick of the Packers in April.

some guys just don't translate well into the NFL and Rodgers is one of those guys.

I think we're seeing our lack of talent when other teams don't pick up our waiver cuts. Davenport was picked up by the Steelers but I don't expect him to stick because of his injury history.

I hope the TT bashers can admit that THEY were WRONG and TT was RIGHT. Leach should have been cut after the Falcon game (pre-season).

If we lack talent, Houston must really be in trouble.

Leach wasn't very athletic. But he could bust a skull now and then.
I hope our new fullback can catch a pass, and even block a fast linebacker.

I bet Rodgers will find a place in the NFL someday. He looked psyched-out.

Us TT bashers are still wondering why in the h@ll TT drafted Cory Rodgers instead of Demetrius Williams :wink:

Your right. Every GM hits on every draft pick. How dare TT miss one!

I don't agree with TT on every move, but I don't bash him just to bash him either. Rodgers' special teams play in college was just that, special. It didn't work out, he moved on. Good.

Agree with you completely. And I'm not sure I fall into the TT basher category. Truth be told at this point I'm content with his two drafts and think he's done a terrible job utilizing the money in free agency. I criticize him some and give him his due for some of his good moves.
