I will not be shocked if the TE’s on our roster for the first game are not currently part of the team.

We will either grab at least two after cutdowns or ship a 7th round pick for someone.

Or sign Zach Ertz.

What’s wrong with Uncle Zack?

Recovering from a partial PCL tear suffered last season. You probably know PCL recoveries are iffy but it sounds like ZBB's is going well.
Seemed like dude was never healthy last season, starting with game 1 when Aidan Hutchinson gave him a questionable block during a Brian Branch interception that was called back.

I don't know what the impact of a lacerated kidney is, but I know Chris Simms almost died from a lacerated spleen. Have to think any kind of injury like that is no joke. Agree they may pick up a TE3 during cutdowns, TEs were way overdrafted this year as teams move to using more 12 and 13 personnel. I kinda think GB should lean the other way and go more 11 with Watson, Golden and Reed.

This one if for Fritz:


From SI on Packers - Bill Huber
Winner: WR Matthew Golden


This could be an evergreen comment about Golden. All he does is get open and catch the ball. He hasn’t made any big downfield catches. It’s 8 yards here and 10 yards there, quite often on third down. Late in practice, for instance, he beat Brandon Cisse on an out to move the chains on third-and-6.

~~~~~~~~

Love gave an interview where he said Golden was locked in as the X receiver, which is the old Split End, weak side of the formation spot. He will get one on one matchups more often from that spot unless they change strength or motion pre-snap.

His job will be to make tough catches one on one to move chain very much like Doubs. So far he looks up to the task.

Yes, the clips are sounding good. I despised that pick, and he needs to be really good to justify passing on Josh Simmons who looked really good with KC. Basically KC gets Creed and Simmons, we got Myers and Golden. We definitely are losers on the first go, and we are well behind in the second.

Gute seemed to make it pretty clear in his PC this morning that Skyy Moore will be on the team. Probably not great news for guys like Neyor and Sturdivant. If Melton is making the team, I think we know who the top 6 WR's are.

Unless that's a kiss of death kind of thing. There's always somebody who's "having a great camp" that either gets cut or makes it and still stinks.

Moore was a PFF darling coming out of Western Michigan and never really stuck for KC. Maybe he's figured it out, but if that's the 6 WRs they roll with it's a group of mostly sub 6' smurfs, which is the opposite of what MLF likes. Then again, this is WR5/6 - the DeAngelo Yanceys and Malik Heaths of the world - we're talking about.

I don't really think he was saying Moore is having a great camp. I think he's just determined to have him as a returner, and a guy who can handle some of the slot stuff. I also think with the Packers running more inside zone than outside, having big WR's who can block is not quite as important as it was when Aaron Jones was running outside zone. And Watson and Savion do fit the bill when they need size out there.
