"Ted's WTF Prediction Thread"

[Scott Campbell]

Underwood to IR.

I discussed this in my thread about the "25" for defense. They moved Lee to IR last year even though no one believed his injury was season-ending. Underwood has a shoulder issue that they are saying little about. Protect him for a year to develop, and to be indicted or absolved; convicted or acquitted; etc.

While plausible, I don't see that happening unless he's really hurting. They're too thin at DB right now.

All his cuts this year favor experience over youth.

Well, how good do people think Havner is at tight end?

What does Lee offer that Havner does not? Could Lee and Spitz be traded? Could you get a reasonable NFL backup corner for Lee or Spitz and a 4th round pick?

Harrell makes the team. Graham, not Justin.

Jason Chery makes the team, if he has a solid return night tomorrow. We need a spark on ST, and he might be the guy to provide it.

Besides I always pull for the underdog.

[Smidgeon]

Sadly, Breno or Barbre sticks...

Despite what everyone seems to be predicting, the Packers will not keep just two RBs.

In a repeat of last year's trade with the Ravens, GB sends an OL to Baltimore (Spitz) for a safety (Ken Hamlin).

I suspect Starks is the #3 guy, and I anticipate that we will keep two until he comes off PUP.

Disagree. I think both Harrell's make the team.

I don't see this either. The days of one back shouldering the entire load are over. Grant couldn't handle that anyhow.

John Kuhn is your third back.

Kuhn is great at the goal line, but I don't see him carrying the ball 5-10 times a game should something happen to Grant/Jackson.

I'm guessing that if Grant (who has never missed a game) and Jackson both got injured in the same game, Kuhn would be up to carrying the ball 5-10 times. I'd also guess that we'd throw the ball almost every down. Then, after the game we'd scour the waiver wire. Lumpkin vs. Johnson all depends on how the Packers project these guys a year or two down the road. I could see them keeping Lumpkin, but not if they think Johnson is going to eventually be one of the best FBs in the league. I could also see them getting another team's reject as the third RB. I like Lumpkin as a runner. I don't like his injury history so much.

Why not? He had 5 carries last night and was a prolific runner in college. Set all kinds of rushing records at Shippensburg, with close to 1,000 carries for close to 5,000 yards. He was a big running back that was converted to FB in the NFL, not a former linebacker or TE as many others are.
