Nice having Starks and Kuhn!

So Newhouse is starting, good thing Denver's dline is not as good as expected this year.

[MJZiggy]

Newhouse did well enough against Julius Peppers last week that they moved Peppers back to his own side. I think he's capable of holding his own.

Is Alex Green going to be active?

Is Alex Green going to be active?

I guess it's possible. I'd like to see that.

I wonder what they're going to do with guys like House and Neale? It's week 4, and they're still not available. How long can you carry guys that are not available, hurting your depth. Williams and Lee are both listed, if they were both out, there could be a problem. If Pickett weren't available, the DL would be thin! Down to Wilson and Wynn at DE, have to rotate Raji out and put Green in at NT? Or keep running the nickle with two linemen.

Actually, I see that House isn't listed on the injury report, so he should be available.

I saw Neal is expected to be back after the bye, whenever that it is....I can't remember, I like living week to week

[rbaloha1]

Its Green time.

Lets hope AG has a better performance than ex Warrior teammate Greg Salas for the Rams.

The Packers have the Broncos tomorrow, then the Falcons next Sunday night, then the Vikings, and then the bye.

They play the Rams between the Falcon and Viking games.

Back for week 9? Wow, I can't believe they didn't IR him.

Wouldn't it have made sense to be bringing someone along, and at least have them available? I wonder how ready Johnny Jones is?

You're right..I tried going by memory...I guess my memory is starting to suck. lol

They don't have another DL with his skill set. He's worth tying up a roster spot for if he can make it back for the 2nd half of the season.

think james starks from last season.

[Brandon494]

I don't think we'll see anything from Alex Green today. Look for Starks to get the majority of the carries with Kuhn coming in for short yardage and goal line situations.

Bobblehead's point about potential late season impact is valid, but there is a big difference between Starks' situation last year and Neal this year. Starks was on the PUP list, and was not moved to the 53 man roster until week 10.

That said, I don't think keeping Neal on the 53, or even Collins at this point matters much, since 7 are inactive for each game anyway. Until they have more than 7 that are too injured or to ill-prepared to be active for games, keeping Neal, Collins, etc. doesn't hurt.

I think the fact that TT didn't run out and sign an OT this week with Bulaga out is an encouraging sign about the readiness of Sherrod to play. If they didn't think he could play, it would have been easy to IR Collins and sign someone like Moll. Apparently the Packers are comfortable with Sherrod on the game day roster.
