[sepporepi]

2 days to go:

Here is my pregame 53 men roster prediction:

Offense: 25

QB: Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers (2)
RB: Vernand Morency, Brandon Jackson, Noah Herron, DeShawn Wynn (4)
FB: Korey Hall, Corey White (2)
WR: Donald Driver ,James Jones, Carlyle Holiday, Greg Jennings, Ruvell Martin, David Clowney (6)
TE: Donald Lee, Bubba Franks, new guy traded for K (3)
OL: Chad Clifton, Daryn Colledge, Scott Wells, Jason Spitz, Mark Tauscher, Junius Coston, Tony Moll, Allen Barbre (8)


Defense: 25

DE: Aaron Kampman, Corey Williams, Cullen Jenkins, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, Jason Hunter (5)
DT: Ryan Pickett, Johnny Jolly, Corey Williams, Justin Harrell, Colin Cole, Daniel Muir (6)
LB: A.J. Hawk, ick Barnett, Brady Poppinga, Desmond Bishop, Tracy White (5)
CB: Al Harris, Charles Woodson, Will Blackmon, Jarrett Bush, Frank Walker (5)
S: Nick Collins, Atari Bigby, Aaron Rouse, Tyrone Culver (4)

Specials: 3

Crosby, Ryan, Davis


PS:
Tramon Williams, Shaun Bodiford, Orrin Thompson, Clark Harris, Paul Thompson, Charlie Peprah, Rory Johnson, Larry Birdine

Not sure if Bodiford and Peprah are PS-eligible...


IR:
Abdul Hodge, Mike Montgomery

I believe the will trade a DT for a TE/RB/FB/QB sometime before the season starts or they try to put Muir on the PS and keep 3 QBs.

Here is my pregame 53 men roster prediction:

you'll have to come back tonight with your postgame revision.

[HarveyWallbangers]

WR: Donald Driver ,James Jones, Carlyle Holiday, Greg Jennings, Ruvell Martin, David Clowney (6)

Looks about right, but why is Greg Jennings behind James Jones AND Carlyle Holiday?

[gbpackfan]

I dont think it's a depth chart Harvey.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I dont think it's a depth chart Harvey.

I saw most of the positions were a depth chart, but he does have Corey Williams ahead of Cullen Jenkins also, so it must not be.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Also, starter Justin Harrell should be at front of list.

[Joemailman]

I'm gonna wait until after the game to make my final prediction. I think Favre is on the bubble.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think Favre is on the bubble.

Is that some sort of street name for Vicodon? God, I hope you're wrong.

[MJZiggy]

I thought the practice squad was 6. It's 8?

[Deputy Nutz]

Could the Packers stash Wynn on the Practice squad? Or do you think another team wants a 7th round pick that was only able to practice for one week?

[RashanGary]

I think we could. We're pretty weak at RB and Wynn looks bad even for us. I can't image too many teams are drooling over him.

[Guiness]

I thought the practice squad was 6. It's 8?

I believe there are exemptions for NFLE players. Since the league doesn't exist anymore though, :huh:

[Deputy Nutz]

I think it is still 8

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

I hope we don't cut Manuel. I have not seem much from Bigby, what if he tanks week one? I would want a vet to replace him instead of a rookie or another young inexperienced guy.

[RashanGary]

Offense: 25

QB: Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers (2)
RB: Vernand Morency, Brandon Jackson, Noah Herron, someone not on roster(4)
FB: Korey Hall, Someone not on roster (2)
WR: Donald Driver ,James Jones, Carlyle Holiday, Greg Jennings, Ruvell Martin(5)
TE: Bubba Franks, Donald Lee, Someone not currently on the team(3)
OL: Chad Clifton, Daryn Colledge, Scott Wells, Jason Spitz, Mark Tauscher, Junius Coston, Tony Moll, Allen Barbre, Tony Palmer(9)


Defense: 25

DE: Aaron Kampman, Corey Williams, Cullen Jenkins, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, Jason Hunter, Birdine (6)
DT: Ryan Pickett, Johnny Jolly, Justin Harrell, Colin Cole, Daniel Muir (5)
LB: A.J. Hawk, ick Barnett, Brady Poppinga, Desmond Bishop, Tracy White (5)
CB: Al Harris, Charles Woodson, Will Blackmon, Jarrett Bush, Frank Walker (5)
S: Nick Collins, Atari Bigby, Aaron Rouse, Charlie Pepreh (4)

Specials: 3

Crosby, Ryan, Davis

Hopefully we can eventually swing Cole on a trade and then develop Birdine to take KGB's spot next year.

[RashanGary]

I could see Wynn, Paul Thompson, Corey White and Clowney making the practice squad.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

You have Corey Williams twice.

[Bretsky]

I could see Wynn, Paul Thompson, Corey White and Clowney making the practice squad.


What about the Birdman; he's looked better than Hunter in the preseason

If we can get anything out of Cole that would be a great deal

[Harlan Huckleby]

You have Corey Williams twice.

just like New York, New York

A player so nice he named him twice

[esoxx]

That doesn't explain Sir Han, Sir Han.

[b bulldog]

Ingle martin will be back on the team but on the practice squad and he will be joined by Clowney,and Wynn from the current packers roster.

[esoxx]

Wynn showed me why he was a 7th round pick tonight. I'm not sure how a 7th round pick could be overrated, but he is.

[b bulldog]

First game action of the preseason, out of shape and not ready for what he saw tonight.

[Joemailman]

QB (2) Favre, Rodgers
RB (4) Jackson, Morency, Herron, Wynn
FB (2) Hall, White
WR (5) Driver, Jennings, Martin, Jones, Holiday
TE (3) Lee, Franks, Free Agent
OL (8) Clifton, Colledge, Wells, Spitz, Tauscher, Coston, Moll, Barbre
DT (5) Pickett, Harrell, Cole, Jolly, Williams
DE (5) Kampman, Jenkins, KGB, Hunter, Birdine

CB (5) Harris, Woodson, Blackmon, Bush, Walker
(S) (5) Collins, Bigby, Rouse, Manuel, Peprah
ST (3) Crosby, Davis, Ryan

[esoxx]

Agreed. But as a 7th round pick when you're dinged, out of shape and show nothing, you should be waived. He showed nothing all camp other than being unreliable. He has baggage from his college career. Maybe he makes the Practice Squad but thinking he's going to impact this team this year is a waste of time, imo.

[gbpackfan]

QB (2) Favre, Rodgers
RB (4) Jackson, Morency, Herron, Wynn
FB (2) Hall, White
WR (5) Driver, Jennings, Martin, Jones, Holiday
TE (3) Lee, Franks, Free Agent
OL (8) Clifton, Colledge, Wells, Spitz, Tauscher, Coston, Moll, Barbre

LB (6) Barnett, Hawk, Poppinga, White, Bishop, Havner
CB (5) Harris, Woodson, Blackmon, Bush, Walker
(S) (5) Collins, Bigby, Rouse, Manuel, Peprah
ST (3) Crosby, Davis, Ryan

Not bad. Let me give it a whirl.

QB (2) Favre, Rodgers
RB (4) Jackson, Morency, Herron, Free agent
FB (2) Hall, White
WR (5) Driver, Jennings, Martin, Jones, Holiday
TE (3) Lee, Franks, Free Agent
OL (9) Clifton, Colledge, Wells, Spitz, Tauscher, Coston, Moll, Barbre, Walter
DT (5) Pickett, Harrell, Cole, Jolly, Williams (MUIR could make it with a trade of another DT)
DE (5) Kampman, Jenkins, KGB, Hunter, Birdine
LB (6) Barnett, Hawk, Poppinga, White, Bishop, Havner
CB (5) Harris, Woodson, Blackmon, Bush, Walker
(S) (4) Collins, Bigby, Rouse, Peprah
ST (3) Crosby, Davis, Ryan

Manuel GONE, Dendy GONE, Rayner GONE, Miree GONE

Montgomery IR, Culver IR

Practice Squad - Clowney, Wynn, Harris, Rory Johnson, Tramon Williams, Daniel Muir, Free agent.

POSSIBLE TRADE BAIT - Rayner, Cole, Williams, Manuel, Dendy. But who the hell knows!

[HarveyWallbangers]

I didn't think Wynn looked that bad, and I haven't been a fan of his AT ALL. The blocking was horsecrap. Hard to gauge somebody when it's 2nd stringers and soon to be cut players against starters.

Harvey,

I agree. However, he looked winded and slow at times. I hear the practice squad calling his name.

He dropped two balls and missed a blitz pick up. He needed to run like it was the game of his life and was pedistrian. Blocking or no blocking.

Like I said, he's a 7th round pick that's overrated. No other late round pick in this situation would get any slack but Wynn appears to be the exception. Probably b/c the RB situation appears bleak and people want to hope there's an answer on the horizon.

TT's probably going to pick up a RB this weekend after final cuts are made, and that back is going to be way better than this slug.

[cheesner]

Looks like nobody is buying the 'we might keep 2 kickers' line.

I am betting that we pick up at least one TE and possibly a RB after the final cutdown.

[MadtownPacker]

I am betting that we pick up at least one TE and possibly a RB after the final cutdown.Yum , leftovers. :lol:

Yea, how could anyone?

[Guiness]

Why do you say that? He was in with the starters at the beggining of the game.


Not that the blocking was any good- BUT they were the staters.

Yea, how could anyone?I keep thinking it must be meant to drive up the trade value.

But then I remember the Packers once keeping two punters.

[HarveyWallbangers]

He had 2 carries when the starters were in there. On the 3rd series, ARod, Zac Alcorn, Adam Stenavich, and Travis Leffew, among others, were in the game.

I'm sure that's exactly what was intended. If teams think they might not cut one, they'll feel they HAVE to trade for one. But I just don't see them actually doing that.....MAYBE if they keep both after the final cuts Saturday, someone will breakdown Sunday and offer a 7. If they don't, I would guess one get's cut later in the week.


My guess anyway.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'm not saying they'll be able to trade one of these guys, but it's not like it hasn't happened before. You see more than handful of trades come cutdown date--even if it's for conditional picks. Unless a team has the #1 waiver priority or knows they have the top priority among teams that need a player at a position, it's often better to trade a pick than lose the player to somebody else.

Sure he looked winded, because thats all Rich Gannon kept saying, I thought Wynn ran hard but had very little running room and his his timing was off from missing so much time.

The Packers are going to have to search the waiver wire for options at running back, back up linebacker, and maybe someone better than Zac Alcorn.

[Partial]

LaBrandon Toefield hopefully :D

[Fritz]

What do you all think in terms of The Clownster? Did he show enough to make the team? If not, do you think another team will snap him up and let him develop while not dressing on Sundays?

Do you all think the Pack really will keep six wide receivers?

What are the chances of him being on the practice squad and not getting picked off by some other team?

I haven't seen the guy play so I wonder what you all think.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I think Clowney gets cut.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Thompson vs. himself - he gets cut
Wynn vs. himself - too close to call
Clowney vs. himself - he gets cut
Alcorn vs. Harris vs. FA - FA
Hunter vs. Birdine - too close to call
Bishop vs. Johnson vs. Havner - Bishop probably stays, FA is signed
Dendy vs. Walker - Walker
Peprah vs. Culver - Peprah
Muir vs. himself - he did well, they might find a way to keep him

[Fritz]

So Harv, you think the receiver just flat out gets cut? Wow, you're not clowning around.

Sorry. Couldn't help myself there.
