Brett Swain is having season ending knee surgery according to JS. I'm sure we'll have another scrappy lower round pick on the roster soon enough. Not a game changer or anything, but would the Ruvell Martin infused team chemistry put us in a much better position? Granted, we're talking mainly about a number 5 receiver (#4 with nelson sitting for a few weeks) and special teams contributor...

Re: Swain Song
This could either be a curse or a blessing. Maybe being down to 3 legitimate recievers will place more focus on Finley/Jones(and maybe to a lesser extent Havner) and their play will florish. Or maybe the depth of not having Nelson and Swain on special teams and situational roles will bite us in the ass in the upcoming weeks.

Sounds like Finley is unlikely to play.Originally posted by TennesseePackerBacker"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

Re: Swain Song
Wow, looks like we need the running game to come on now more than ever huh? How long are they looking at Finley to be out? That'd be a huge blow to us IMO. Lee is completely servicable and a good blocker, but he can't stretch the field like Finley.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious." - Vince LombardiComment

Not having Finley or the Great White Hope ready to go against Minnesota definitely hurts. It limits what GB can do on offense and it restricts their ability to test one of Minnesota's biggest weaknesses on defense, which is depth in the secondary especially with Winfield hurt. I was hoping that MM would be able to minimize Minnesota's pass-rushing advantage by spreading the field and emphasizing quick decisions with Rodgers. But without Nelson and Finley that's not going to happen.Comment

Re: Swain Song
Yes! Lets see what he has. Havner was impressive. Swain should be given an injury settlement.Originally posted by sharpe1027Jake Allen time....Comment

Lee hasn't shown us very much since 2007, at least not of the "explosive plays" type. He's ok as a possession receiver but he's not the threat that Finley is to pick up yards after catch or run deep down the seam. Havner might be able to do some damage if the Vikings completely ignore him like Cleveland did on that delay pattern, but if they put someone on him he's not much of a threat.Originally posted by Tony OdayComment

This guy did next to nothing and was horrible to keep on the roster. Definitely wish they would have kept Ruvell.Comment

You mean that Swain guy who single-handedly saved the Packer-Bear game. In 6 games for the Packers he made 1 game changing play.Originally posted by Partial
What plays did Ruvell make in all of his years here that changed a game?But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.
