Start? This is your new backup middle linebacker behind Desmond Bishop.

Yes a start. We still have to deal with the potential loss of Chillar and Collins for this week.

I thought Maurice "The Blizzard" Simpkins was just a warm body. The Packers must have seen something they liked; anybody else see his potential and can explain it?

I remember him from preseason. he was running all over the place. Seemed athletic, but raw



I remember having a hard time figuring out who the hell he was because I couldn't see his damn name through the dreads and didn't have a scorecard.

I remember him in the preseason. He looked REALLY slow. I think it was the Chiefs when I saw him in.

Hopefully he was just going slow because he was still thinking his way through plays. He must've shown something to be signed over Francois.

Well, he's on someone's practice squad so I'm going with not really.

Just read that article.....got a little depressed when they mentioned Havner "Frackenbacker." i wish he was available to play ILB with all these injuries.

Simpkins should get some crazy XFL face paint; then at least Packers D might scare some...for a nano sec.

I think Simpkins has a good chance to develop into a starter. I liked what I saw of him in the PS.

I thought Simpkins looked pretty good in the preseason... but the preseason is a far cry from the regular season.

Still, a player worth looking at.
