    Final Cuts

    Roster after initial cuts:

    QB Rodgers, Flynn, Brohm
    RB Grant, Jackson, Morency, (Lumpkin)
    FB Hall, Kuhn
    WR Driver, Jennings, Jones, Martin, Nelson
    TE Lee, Humphrey, Finley
    OL Clifton, Colledge, Wells, Spitz, Tauscher, Sitton, Barbre, Moll
    DE Kampman, Jenkins, KGB, Montgomery, Hunter, Thompson
    DT Pickett, Jolly, Cole, (Muir)
    LB Barnett, Hawk, Poppinga, Chillar, Bishop, Hodge, White
    CB Woodson, Harris, Williams, Lee, Blackmon, (Bush)
    S Bigby, Collins, Rouse, (Peprah)
    ST Crosby, Ryan, Jansen

    I see the last two roster spots after the initial cuts coming down to DT Muir, RB Lumpkin, S Peprah (perhaps Culver), and perhaps DB Bush (mainly because of special teams). I'm guessing Muir makes the team, and Bush gets cut. Then, it comes down to Peprah vs. Lumpkin. Tough choice. Not sure who I'd take. Depends on whether the Pack thinks Lumpkin will get claimed. I'm going to guess Peprah.

    Of course, if/when a better player becomes available from another team, those guys could be gone.

    I agree Morency makes it. The Pack in prior years have been good about cutting vets with skills early if they don't think they will make the 53 so they can catch on with another club.

      I didn't state this in this thread, but did in another. I think they'll keep 7 LBs after the initial cuts, and then try to trade one. Or, if they see a player they like (perhaps at DT), they'll cut one after the initial cuts. The Packers roster is always unbalanced right after the initial cuts.

      Also, I should have said that rookie OL (not Sitton) also has a shot.

        Follow my logic here, but I swear if Flynn was playing like Brohm he gets whacked and we bring in a Simms type as a backup and stick Brohm at #3. Brohm has been horrendous.

          I didn't really complete my thought here. My point was his draft status as a #2 is saving him, not his performance.

            Agreed.

              Flynn is a different type of QB...more sandlot style..so able to ajdust easier.

              Brohm is a system QB. Takes more time for him. Let's not forget how poor Arod looked his rookie year.

              But, i do think Flynn has played himself off the practice squad...we can't afford to put him there for fear he will get signed by another team.

                I see Humphrey getting cut and the Packers picking up a more stout TE on the waiver wire.

                  Wouldn't shock me.

                      This is encouraging compared to several years ago, when it seemed like there were many options for players to cut. Now there are some tough decisions to make.

                        My take is this. Peprah loses out to bush (special teams), Hodge or Bishop goes...I'm guessing hodge (special teams). Muir stays for sure. I think KGB or Montgomery goes depending on coaches opinion (health vs. potential) I also think if it was strictly on peformance Bjack would be out. I agree the roster will be mismatched coming out. Its a good thing when we gotta cut guys we really like....my only gripe is when they get cut for a guy they outplayed but due to draft status they lose out.

                          I think Bishop and Hodge both stick. Bishop showed he could play well at WLB tonight and with Hawk's injury they'll likely need him. Hodge takes over at back up at MLB.

                            Jackson didn't play poorly this preseason. Who has really outperformed him--other than Lumpkin maybe?

                              Morency, imo, lumpkin, and grant is the returning starter, that would leave BJack cut if he were say...a walk on, not a 2nd.
