I'm sure that is close to right, the roster is not so mysterious this year.

2 fullbacks and 4 TEs strikes me as a lot of bruisers, but it is possible.

I'd rather have one less and add speed - a 3rd down rb or wide receiver if talent available.

[Guiness]

Good list, a couple of thoughts about it.

I think it's just as likely they end up with 1 TE as 4. I'd say only Rodgers is guaranteed a spot there.

We call for it every year, but is this the one they carry 6 WRs? I thought is might be with Montgomery being an ST specialist, but if he is the #4WR, that bumps someone else. Right now though, it sure looks like White could bounce Janis.

Is Danztler still in the picture?

There's no way they keep less than 3 TE's. Aside from receiving, TE's block and they play special teams. Another thing to consider: From 2005-2014, TT had 95 draft picks. By my count 83 made the team as a rookie. So Backman has about an 87% chance of making the team just because he was drafted. Unless he shows absolutely nothing, he'll be on the team.

I was going to say that - few of TT's draft picks don't make the team. Still, with 2 FBs, you have to think a TE spot goes away. I'd like to see 9 OL, I'm especially worried about depth at the guard positions with Sitton's toe. I don't want to see Barclay there.

thank you. bout time someone agrees with me on the TE's

you don't keep someone whos shit just because of the position they play

Q is our clear cut #2 or maybe even the #1, and i honestly don't think he's worth the roster spot

[Harlan Huckleby]

bDB (10)Goodson, Gunter, Hayward, Randall, Rollins, Shields, Hyde, Burnett, Clinton-Dix, Richardson

I think we can scratch Gunter off the list. Whenever DBs on the bubble get preseason picks they get cut. I think Rolle made that mistake last summer.

I think the bigger issue is at OT. Barclay has been struggling there, and the improvement of Lane Taylor has improved the depth situation at G.

Yeah, he wasn't a world beater as a pass protector his first year. But now he resembles a turnstile.

That Perillo is just plain fat. Saw him lumbering out there last night and was wondering if he'd make it to the keg at second base.

It appears veteran offensive lineman Don Barclay is going to need more time to prove he is back from a torn knee ligament suffered in training camp last year.

Barclay had a nightmarish evening. He was beat so badly by Patriots end Jabaal Sheard he just tackled him to the ground to save a sack, drawing a 15-yard penalty. In the third quarter, linebacker Rufus Johnson threw Barclay to the ground and sacked quarterback Brett Hundley, who had no chance to escape.

Throughout, Barclay seemed to be a step behind in his pass blocking. It was his first live action since suffering the torn ACL, so he's not panicking. But the Packers are counting on him to back up several positions and will need to see him back to form by the end of camp.

"It's always a battle," Barclay said. "You work on stuff everyday. It's just working on the hands and working on the feet, stuff like that will come just getting the reps everyday in practice and the looks. It's nothing I'm worried about.

"There were a couple plays I didn't like. There were a couple of plays I'd like back."

Is holding a 15 yard penalty now?

There's a "confidence threshold" aspect of ACL recovery. Even if you are 100% physically, you have to get past a point where you just trust your body to work right, and aren't fearful at some level, waiting and wondering whether it will give out again. Some of those injuries take time before you can forget about them and just play. Either that, or Barclay just sucks.

[mraynrand]

Is holding a 15 yard penalty now?

I think that's only against the Patriots. Because, Bill Belichick.

Nice stab. There will likely be a few surprises, but its nearly impossible to predict. Kuhn is one I would watch, assuming Rip proves dependable in pass-pro. Love what Kuhn has done for the Pack, but not sure he justifies a spot for much longer.
