Shocking cuts!

Finley

[gbgary]

shocking cuts (besides the totally obvious)...driver or james jones would be a shock, grant, clifton, zombo (at a lessor extent), and the toolbelt!

[imscott72]

how good is jones really? we might see him as being better then he really is, or we might see him as worse

in reality, he's usually lined up against the other teams 3rd or 4th best cb. not only that, but most teams are watching jennings and giving GJ the double teams. he also has one of the best passers in the nfl throwing him the ball.

now it doesn't seem like he can stay healthy when he needs to be fighting for a spot

and, no other team in the nfl thought he was worthy of going after just a month ago.

he's been in the league for 4 years, never advancing above #3 on the depth chart. never caught more then 50 passes or 5 td's in a season and he's put up average yards.

we do know what we have in him, a number 3 or 4 wr, and not much more. i think if the staff sees potential in west or gurley to be more then a #4 at some point, then they should make the move

Couldn't of said it better myself. When we thought Jones was going to sign with Minny, he was "Packers scraps". Now we need him?

I didn't add Jones to mine, but I could see that too. Thing with Jones though. . . He's big, strong, fast, knows the offense, is relatively cheap. . . . . . Driver is really old.

And I like Gurley more than West. He's similar to Ruvell Martin, but a little more sudden and he uses his body a little better. Neither get separation like Jones. West is a poor mans Donald Driver. Does't get away from tackles as well, not as quick (in Driver's prime of course.) Both are NFL receivers. Neither are up to the level of our top 5. I don't think people realize how sudden Jones is. He gets open as well as anyone on the team and he's a beast going up for the ball. Hopefully he can get that over the shoulder thing down. He catches them from Flynn. He caught them from Favre. Rodgers throws a lower deep ball. Jennings handles it. Jones hasn't been able to. He needs to be a little more flexible because the way Finley and Jennings catch it, they turn back and catch it with their hands facing the ball. Their feet are still moving forward, but they twist and catch it facing the ball. Jones tries to get it over his head. That's a tougher catch. He looks a little stiff too. Finley and Jennings are more of that long, smooth, flexible athlete. Jones is a compact RB/WR hybrid. He's sudden but a little more stiff than the other pass catchers on our team. A beast none the less.

I'd be curious to see us go legit 5 wide with Finley, Jennings, Driver, Nelson and Jones.

Jones has the explosiveness and power of a RB. Nelson is a great blocking WR. We're sure to get dime in that look. 6 DB's and a linebacker. Or 6 DB's, 3 DL and 2 LB's. Regardless, there aren't many big guys on the field. We have as many OL as they have DL and LB's. We're guaranteed to push them off the line, for sure on the right side.

Bring Finley in line. Bring Nelson back as a full back and Jones RB. Run right behind Sitton, Bulaga and Finley in line. Gosh, that seems like a guaranteed 4 yards. That's a line of scrimmage 3 yards down the field and Jones crashing head on into a CB or safety. There are only a handful of DB's in the league I like better than Jones in a head on collision.

Hell, run it just for shits and giggles. See how it works out.

James Jones
Quinn Johnson
Pat Lee

I think your second and third choices are probably 50-50 guesses.

Lee didn't do himself any favours last night. One way he could stick is if they IR House and keep him on the squad.

[Brando19]

How can anyone sit here and say Driver will get cut? Yall are crazy.

I see him for exactly what he is, #2 receiver talent with #4 receiver hands.

-The guy was also 2nd on the team last year in catches.

-His not injured, the coaches know what they have in Jones so of course the younger WRs are getting more playing time.

-You really going to fault him for not advancing above #3 on the depth chart with Jennings and Driver in front of him?

-The lockout definitely screwed a lot of players over. It took a while for Jenkins to get signed as well, does that mean hes not a good player?

-While I like West and Gurley has size but neither have shown to be more talented to Jones.

[Guiness]

Why is Clifton even getting mentioned here? We have no one even close to ready to step in at that position. Some other guys have seen the field there, but certainly no one has impressed enough that you want him protecting the franchise.

If they can find enough tape to hold him together, there's a 0% chance he is cut.

[MJZiggy]

They're supposed to be shocking, you see.

[VermontPackFan]

VPF = persona non grata

Thanks hh, coming from you I will take that as a compliment

[bobblehead]

Brad Jones. I originally pegged him to win that starting gig, but for the 3rd straight season he has been hurt. MM doesn't like young guys who aren't tough enough to play through it and I think Brad Jones has proven to be soft. buh buh.

[Bretsky]

He's soft and vastly overrated by many IMO; I'd be fine with him gone

[Joemailman]

Aaron Rodgers
Clay Matthews
Greg Jennings

Phew! Glad I was wrong.
