The So Early It's Both Awesome & Stupid Thread- Pick the 53

[Brandon494]

Are you related to White?

[Pugger]

You think Janis is better than Abbrederis?

[Brandon494]

I have them both making the team on my 53 man roster, really hard to say right now.

Sorry, I was directing my question at Guiness.

[smuggler]

I can't believe you feel Mulumba and Boykin should be off the team, Guiness...

No, I was mostly poking fun at the crew here that laments the lack of players from the southern UofW players on the Packers! Heck, there was even a thread about it,

at least the drafting streak was broken!

The 5th CB and/or 4th safety doesn't make the team to play CB or safety. They make the team to play special teams. under normal circumstances, the player has 0 snaps on defense, but will see a bunch on ST every week. Bush probably continues to make the team until another player is comparable to him on STs.

I'm guessing you could say that about Ryan Taylor. Why do they keep 4 TEs and how does he keep making the team? Answer: He plays Special Teams and does a very good job at it.

I can't remember if it was a preseason game or a regular game last year, he was wide open in the middle of the field, the QB hit him in stride and he drops an easy TD. But I guess the coaches see him as having more value at special teams, then they do at TE - hence why he's still here.

Agreed. Probably true also when they have a 9th or more LB, too.

I believe they're keeping Jonothan Franklin because there's an opening on the toilet cleaning crew.

[smuggler]

I really would prefer they kept Harris instead of Franklin, if only one can stay. That is, unless Franklin shows a little more.

Hubbard is making this team. We're also going to resign Finley. We're going to say goodbye to one or two good linebackers, as we do every year. I see it coming down to Mulumba or Barrington, and I think the coaches like Barrington more.

QB (3) - Rodgers, Flynn, Tolzien
RB (4) - Lacy, Starks, Franklin, Harris
FB (1) - Kuhn
WR (5) - Nelson, Cobb, Boykin, Adams(r), Abbredaris(r)
TE (4) Finley, Quarless, Bostick, Rodgers(r)
OL (9) Bulaga, Sitton, Tretter, Lang, Bakhtiari, Barclay, Sherrod, Linsley(r), Lane
DL (5) Raji, Boyd, Thornton(r), Jones, Daniels
LB (10) Matthews, Peppers, Neal, Jones, Hawk, Barrington, Lattimore, Hubbard(UDFA-r), Perry, Bradford(r)
CB (5) Williams, Shields, Hayward, House, Bush
S (4) Burnett, Clinton-Dix(r), Hyde, Richardson
Sp (3) Crosby, Masthay, Goode

I'd be so pissed if we let Janis walk to keep Tolzien at QB.

My refrigerator delivery guy claims he went to high school with Harris. he also claims Harris is working out like a maniac and will be ready for camp. Also, he can get me a great deal on a Camaro, but I'd have to decide right away because he has 'a couple of other guys really interested in it.'

That's pretty full service from Frigidaire.
