Packers Announce Cuts

[Maxie the Taxi]

Can't get too excited yet. There's a couple more coming, unless they plan on Johnny Jolly being the LS. They need another DL or two.

I can def. see Hodge or Bishop being traded. I really love both of them though. To be honest, I would rather send Chillar some where else.

I've got that Fuzzy feeling inside.

It's a good list talentwise. The only two guys I see who would be incapable of contributing something this year are Bush and Giacomini.

We need another healthy body in the DL before the season starts, but the level of talent on this team is quite impressive.

I am with you on this one. I saw more future talent in Hodge and Bishop then in Chillar who has been a starter before. I have confidence that Hodge or Bishop can step right in against the Vikings and perform. They both seem to know this defense very well and fly to the football.

Hooray!

I'm also glad to see Hodge made it.

Don't get your hopes too high. I can't imagine starting next game with both Bishop and Hodge on the roster. It'd be a waste of talent to not trade one of them to team that would give them some playing time.

Really, at this point I'm expecting that if we cut a LB, it'll be White, since we apparently have our backup WLB, MLB, and SLB in Bishop, Hodge, and Chillar so White's "ability to play all three positions" is less of an advantage. Since we kept Bush (whose only real value is on STs) White's value as the "special teams whirling dervish" is probably diminished.

Bush can play safety also help too.

Jenkins and Montgomery have both played inside, Monty only on passing downs. So its not just 3 DTs. But I agree, there must be working to bring someone on board.

If it's just a matter of who to cut to make room, I'd agree with you. But with the Hodge and Bishop's performance on thursday, I have to imagine that they would some value on the trade market. If we can get something for them, we really should deal. White would be just fine to keep as the 6th LB'er considering that position hopefully wouldn't be spending any time on the field.

Sure wish someone like this would show up on the waiver wire again

[packers11]

FK!!! I HATE CHILLAR!!!

And they did release a lot of DTs... weird...

Also... I'm glad to see Herron go... THANK YOU...

[mmmdk]

Still keeping 2FB...if only we ran the ball more :P

LOL

[mmmdk]

Lumpkin, Hodge, Flynn & Bishop have been the great stories of pre-season.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Is anyone else a bit surprised by Morency being cut? Even though I predicted it I'm still a little surprised they actually did it.
