  • Mike Neal

    Neal is eligible to be activated. Seems Packers have 3 choices:

    Release him
    Activate Neal and release Merling
    Activate Neal and release someone from another position. My best bets would be Brad Jones, sean Richardson or Brandon Saine.

    Neal had a pretty good camp, and I think he does have some pass rush ability. I expect the Packers to keep him. Do they get some time from the NFL before deciding whether to activate him?
    I can't run no more
    With that lawless crowd
    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
    A thundercloud
    They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

    Three weeks of practice and then decision time.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

      Isn't that for PUP list players? Or does it apply to suspended players too? Can't find anything on those 3 weeks.

        Your right, my mistake. Forgot he was suspended. Decision will need to be made this week.

          IR House, Starks, Jennings I or Jennings II with designation to return?
          I would hope Starks and House are close to returning, so they may not be candidates, but it might be the best thing for Greg Jennings at this point. Remove the temptation of playing him, and just get him healthy.

              Ok but is Merling that "good"? And isn't Starks ready soon?

                Has Merling played? I haven't heard his name at all......

                  He backs up C.J. Wilson. That should tell you enough.

                    Good grief; Mike Neal is better than both CJ & evidently better than Merling - even with Neals injury history.

                      Aloha Merling.

                      Neal adds juice to the pass rush.

                        Could I be more wrong in one thread!? Neal has one week roster exemption.

                          Really? So they don't have to make a decision by the next game? I thought they had to do something with him by game #5, but had this week to do it.

                            He is, or he should be?
                            For me, Neal and Sherrod are in the same boat. We expected them to be good, but neither has shown anything; whereas Newhouse and Wilson are not the studs we expected from Sherrod and Neal, but by and large they get the job done.

                              It's probably a make-or-break year for Neal, but I do think you're a little harsh on Sherrod. He's a second year player who was out the vast majority of last season with an injury. And I did not see him as ineffective as you seemed to. He showed flashed of ability to me, at least.
