    It's A Bugg's Life

    From M3's post-game news conference:

    (Injury update?)
    Junius Coston had a knee injury and did not return. Jansen had a knee and did not return. That's all the information I have right now.
    Also:

    (If J.J. Jansen couldn't make it next week is Rob Davis an option?)
    I don't have enough information on J.J. And I think Rob is comfortable in his position. You'd have to ask Rob that.
    I don't think Davis would come back. Too comfortable in street clothes. I had a guy named Tim Bugg on my draft list. He's a LSnapper out of Indiana. He's not on anybody's roster now.

    Let's hope we don't need him.

    We're all concerned about our rookie QB's. A rookie long snapper with a makeshift backup is NOT a good situation.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    I have a knee. In fact, I have two knees.

    PS - Davis can't come back. There's a rule about retired players not being able to be reinstated after the roster gets down to a certain number. This came up duing the Brett Favre speculation.

      That's interesting Fritz - I've never heard of that. Do you know any more about it?

      There has to be some way around it because Vinny keeps making appearances - but maybe he didn't actually retire?

        M3 said Jansen HAD a knee! Maybe he no longer does and that's why he's out.

          The rule in question is that a former player hired for a front office position can't come back and play after the roster has been cut down to 75.

            FYI = The Bears cut Thomas Gafford Friday, so he's available if the Packers want him back:
