Packers Announce Cuts

[texaspackerbacker]

I'm generally happy and satisfied with the cuts, especially keeping Lumpkin over Morency or Herron.

I'm surprised they kept seven LBs, and I still think they might let White go. The D Line seems adequate. Muir never impressed me. I'd have kept Malone over him. Both are gone, though. Maybe they will sign somebody and cut White.

I say again, they damn well better not sign some veteran QB--at the cost of losing Flynn or Brohm.

I am still in favor of signing a veteran QB but NOT cutting Flynn or Brohm. Yes, it would mean carrying 4 quarterbacks on the team but the Packers need a veteran QB behind Rodgers.

They can't carry 4 QB's. At this point I think they should just ride it out with Flynn and Brohm and see what happens.

[HarveyWallbangers]

They can't carry 4 QB's.

Why not?

Why not?

The Bucs are right now, so it is possible. I just don't think it is worth it. Let Flynn and Brohm grow a bit. If Rodgers goes down for a week or two at week 10, they can probably coast through it. If Aaron gets hurt in week 1, well then this season is screwed no matter who we bring in to QB.

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.

Can't wait to hear the spin about "money morency" from Partial.

Morency sucks.

BS. Very arrogant move with an injury prone quarterback and a third down back who has shown to be a severe liability in pass protection.

That was a dumb move. Morency looked very sharp, quick and fast to me. Money Morency is gonna move on somewhere and get a shot to be a #2 at least.

9 rookies. Either TT drafted really well on an already deep team, or he likes to keep young guys even if they are slightly worse than a 3rd year guy who isn't very good.

I think they have to trade an LB for a DT. They are going to have a very difficult time stopping the run.

For as healthy as we stayed last year, they sure are banged up now. Really, really unfortunate with the monster first 4 weeks.

A-Rod looks like he could guide a team to win those games if we're completely healthy but the OL and DL simply have too many question marks right now imo.

That was a dumb move.

You are starting to sound like Tank.

That's ridiculous and preposterous. I don't think its a good move at all. I would have kept Morency over Kuhn because they can always use an H-back. They don't use a fullback enough to justify two, and for all intents and purposes Morency looked like A) the best third down back, B) healthy and shifty again, and C) solid in pass protection.

Brandon jackson's struggles have been well documented.

I don't like this move one bit. You've gotta keep either Herron or Morency imo.

Unless they plan to split carries 40-60% with Grant and Jackson, I don't think its healthy to have Grant on for all three downs. With that said, who is the third down back now?

That's my point. Bad move.

[HarveyWallbangers]

It's silly to say cutting Vernand Morency and Noah Herron is "very arrogant" on the part of Thompson. Very much out of the tank playbook.

[pbmax]

My guess is that Brandon Jackson will be your third down back. He and Lumpkin will give Grant a breather on those occassions we actually run it more than 20 times a game.

[esoxx]

Will this be the third straight year the Packers are the youngest team in the league?

Favre/Davis/Franks out, nine rookies in looks like it could be.

I've heard very good things about the TE Haynos; I hope they can sign him to the practice squad.

Interesting that many, myself included, loved the Finley pick and he looks to be a long long way away from contributing

I liked the pick, and I still do. Most of the scouting reports said that he needed time to develop. As soon as he bulks up, he may be a starting caliber TE.

Did you draft Robert Meachem in your FFL draft ??
