Happened today. Leads me to believe that Hawk is hurt worse than thought, and someone else in the LB corp is also hurting. No reason for Lansanah otherwise, unless he had another offer from another team.

Lansanah looked really good in preseason, maybe they simply like him better based on White's showing. -
Lansanah showed some pass rush ability in the preseason. That may be the reason he's being activated.I can't run no more

I was wondering about that. I looked to see if there were any reports about him as a pass rusher, but found nothing.Originally posted by JoemailmanComment

I'm sure they do like Lansanah better as a linebacker, and did even in the preseason. White isn't on the team to play linebacker, just special teams. Leads me to believe either:Originally posted by Harlan Huckleby
-White is too beat up after too many years on special teams at a relatively small size, and isn't what he was on special teams, thus no longer providing value to the team; or
-The Packers feel that they need a real 6th linebacker due to Hawk's injury and maybe another. Chiller was a bit dinged up a week ago or so.Comment

Go Lasagna!!!

White hasn't been his usual ST savage self lately, tis true. I'm surprised to see him cut, tho. I was hoping we'd stash both Lasagna and Hodge. Those kids can bring it.
Chillar is funny. Sometimes he looks real good, then he disappears. Hawk is hurt, he normally would've picked that ball Sunday.Comment

DL looked good in preseason. Still wish Hodge was kept.
Trust TT is making the correct personnel decision.Comment

from Jsonline.comThe 6-foot-0½, 248-pound Lansanah impressed as a hard hitter and pass rusher in August before being cut Aug. 30 and signed to the practice squad the next day. In four games, he had nine tackles from scrimmage and one on special teams.
That face mask penalty hurt his chances back then.Comment

JSonline also mentioned that the Miami Dolphins were planning to take Lansanah from our practice squad.Comment

Dam I'm starting to hate the Dolphins. Those bastards took or great TE prospect and are bottomfeeding off our team.Originally posted by ShoalComment

Lasagna always looks good. Italian food all day. Oh...This shit is meaningless. TT is trying to wrap up future talent vs. the shitty year thus far. White is better now, but Lasagna is always good. Meaningless to wins/losses this year though. Lasagna will total 10 tackles all on ST. You have jumped the shark Patler. Let the noobs pass you by. This will have absolutely no effect on this season.Snake's Twitter comments would be LEGENDARY.........if I was ugly or gave a shit about Twitter.Comment

If you don't realize the importance of special teams in wins/losses I think you are missing a significant part of the game. Special teams has already had the opportunity to step up and make an impact this season, and has had its share of failure.Originally posted by SnakeLH2006
Tracy White has been the acknowledged leader on special teams for several years, even when he wasn't the statistical leader. Several years ago it was unquestioned that he would make the team, in spite of the fact he was almost useless from scrimmage as a linebacker. He was that good on kick coverage. Unfortunately, at the time the Packers didn't have other good players to go with him on ST. It was interesting to me that he almost didn't make the final roster this year, it indicated to me that his ST play was down. This confirms it, because a 6th linebacker is on the team for one of two reasons, exceptional ST play (like White has been) or because two other linebackers are injured. No one intends to play their 6th linebacker on defense if they can help it. I don't think Lansanah will be anything special on ST, but apparently White no longer is either. I do think there might be concern about Hawk's health, which makes the 6th linebackers play as a linebacker more important.Comment

Let the noobs pass Patler by? What, Snake, so we can have more ranting, logic-less posts? No thanks.
This whole theme that TT is unconcerned with the present and is always and only thinking of some vague "future" was, I hoped, put to bed after last season's success.
But according to your line of thinking, TT, after seeing a 13-3 season end in a loss to the Giants, decided after five games thus far the rest of the season is lost - it's too late, this team will not make the playoffs. Or if, you like instead, TT doesn't care whether this year's team can make the playoffs because he only cares about getting more draft picks and in this vague "future." So he cuts a great ST player and signs Lansanah.
When you compare that to Patler's reasoning, which if I am reading correctly suggests that Lansanah was promoted and White was cut was likely due to two factors: White's declining ST play and the Dolphins' sniffing around a promising young practice squad linebacker - when you compare your theory to Patler's, I'm afraid Patler's makes a whole lot more sense. A whole, whole lot more."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
