Ahman Green is coming back!!

[HarveyWallbangers]

Not a bad guesstimate. Mine would be pretty close. Lawrence Guy and Brad Jones would be two guys I'd take off. My guess is that Francois or Manning take the last ILB spot over Jones. I'm not sure how it's going to shake out at DL. Guy has a shot, but I'd put his odds at less than 50% that he makes the final roster. I still think Driver is iffy, but I do think he'll get a chance to compete. It will come down to whether Driver shows his age even more this year, and whether Gurley and/or Borel show improvement. I think Bush should be listed as a CB.

[Upnorth]

So we go through with 9 oline again. Last year we lost sherrod and clifton and were getting thin else where as a result. Do we have any oline on the PS left? If we lost OT's again could we bring back clifton as a stop gap?
Aside from that I like the roster but hate to not see Collins listed at safety.

[Deputy Nutz]

Manning makes this roster, lose Jones, and take off Guy and add the Merling. If Coleman looks like shit in preseason expect him to be cut and placed on the Practice squad. That will free up another space on the Packers rosters.

I am also going to predict that the Packers will hang on to Driver, keep 6 wide receivers, and trade remaining receivers. Expect them to showcase Borely and Gurley. Shakey Smithson will get picked up to an active roster, but the Packer will not land a trade for him.

If the Packers can't trade Borely or Gurley then Driver might get cut.

If Borely and Gurley get any reps with the first team, and demonstrate a connection with Rodgers, and Rodgers feels comfortable with them in the passing game, then James Jones might get his ass cut.

So we could trade last years PS wr's but not Jones?

[Deputy Nutz]

I don't think the Packers could trade Jones, but who knows. I think Jones has hit his peak, he is nothing more than a 3rd or 4th receiver that will have a big game every now and then. He will never be a dominant receiver in the NFL and nows has a contract number that teams will have to pay. Borely and Gurley will get teams interested because of their untapped potential.

I think Jarami Lattimore will make this team at ILB over Jones , that Driver will be cut to free up a spot, which Manning will take (MM and TT like those linebacker types for ST duty!), and that Merling wins out over Wilson.

Doesn't this team need someone to spell Raji at the nose? If Green is gone, who is that guy? Guy?

More likely IMO that Guy and Worthy take some of Pickett's DE snaps, so Pickett becomes the other NT.

Maybe it's just me, but this group looks like has the most talented depth on the team.

It's just you.

All those guys have had their moments, but Woodson ain't the old Woodson, Williams & Shields had down years in 2011. The group may prove to be fine, but I sure wouldn't single them out as a strength.

[Joemailman]

Did T-Will have a career year in 2010, or an off year due to injuries in 2011? That's one of the big questions for this year.

Off year dude to injuries and lack of pass rush, his shoulder is still not at 100% yet.
