More Banjo: @ Bears Week 4

[pbmax]

This was Mike Holmgren's running game, particularly his first few years in GB.

McCarthy's was 5 wide or 4 plus Finley. Not as easy an option this year. Someone has to step up. Last year, oddly enough, it was Boykin.

I don't understand why the Packers roster is at 52. Why didn't they call up Jumal Rolle and not lose him to Houston? I don't get. It's not to save a small chunk of salary, is it?

[Freak Out]

They forgot. Fire Slocum!

I haven't even seen speculation about why. My only guess is uncertainty about a current injury.

They are relatively healthy, so there isn't much need to fill the spot with a guy who will be inactive every game anyway.
As for Rolle, they have 6 healthy corners on the roster now, not much need for a 7th.

Besides, this will give them a roster spot to activate Tretter in a few weeks without having to release anyone.

Good place to start the speculation, though it is early. I would also suspect there is no one they are convinced they need to pick up.

Pretty crazy that the whole defensive backfield is healthy! The 6th CB, Goodson, has he dressed yet? The Packers kept him, now at the expense of Rolle, who looked a lot better in the pre-season, I wonder what the plans are for bringing him along now that he's healthy.

We also haven't seen much of Richardson, who I thought would be on the field a lot more, but seems to be behind Burnett

[HarveyWallbangers]

Makes little sense. It's saves a little bit of money, but doesn't reward guys on the practice squad. The Packers have a good reputation for building within, but this seems cheap. Why not call up Dorsey or White with Boykin out.

The 53rd spot is for Jesus.

[Fritz]

The 53rd spot is for Jesus.

I think he's still playing college ball for Notre Dame.

I guess 53 is for Luther:

@RobDemovsky: #Packers finally have 53 on the roster. Promoted DT Luther Robinson from practice squad. Likely means Josh Boyd won’t play.
