2015 Cutdowns

And gaston will be gone when dl return from suspensio

I'm not so sure that Gaston doesn't beat out Boyd for that 6th spot when everybody is healthy.

[smuggler]

If they had to pick now, I think they'd take Gaston. We'll see if he's still kicking ass in three weeks against starting caliber players. I'm hoping for Boyd to get his head out of his ass so TT is forced to cut Banjo or (ideally) Goodson.

[Pugger]

Tell that to Myles White.

Yes, White was on our PS last year and now is on the 53. Its a shame about Jared but perhaps the best place for him this year is the PS. If he can stay healthy and show progress he might be able to resurrect his career in 2016.

[Patler]

I the original 10 signed to the practice squad in 2014 were all players released by the Packers. However, within just a couple days a few changes were made to both the regular roster and the practice squad.

White was on PS in 2013, too, then spent a few weeks on the regular roster before going on IR.
GB has always moved a lot of players from their PS to the regular roster either the same year, or a year later.

Abrederris has essentially had no practice time at all these past two season. A year on someone's PS makes sense for him.

If there's an injury to White or Janis, I'd think Abby would get thr first call. If it's to Cobb, Davante, or (possibly even) Montgomery, they might get turtleneck on the line.

Polotröjan!!!

I do wonder which one's the better player. Boyd seems to have plateaued; my guess is that he's like Colin Cole -he'll carve out a nice career as a run-stopper gap-filler with a few different teams.

Keep Gaston, for he's a beauty AND a beast!

GM fail.

Carolina Panthers @Panthers
Ron Rivera says Ted Ginn and Corey Brown are the starting wide receivers entering Week 1 vs. Jacksonville.

Newton might break Vick's record for rushing yards by a QB in a season.

I just had a chance to watch the last pre-season game and he made a few plays. Plus, he's plus-sized. He's also especially good at expectorating.

[Guiness]

Thornton claimed by NE

[Bretsky]

Good; he was a worthless sack. NE also grabbed Worthy as well....well...for a bit at least

[Carolina_Packer]

I don't know for sure how talent evaluation is done in the NFL, or for the Packers, but perhaps instead of having what appears to be just regional scouts, the team should think in terms of having positional scouts as well. Perhaps they do already, and if that's the case, they should look to replace whoever is providing advice on the DL's that they've been drafting higher than the 4th round. Is it the hardest position to project between college and pro, or is Green Bay not investing in enough high picks to have a shot at the talent that grades higher, are they just unlucky because of the injuries to the guys they've drafted, or are they just bad at forming a dominant DL?

I don't blame guys who are drafted 5th-7th, or undrafted. It's the team's job to invest in talent, and those guys are just doing the best they can with the talent they have. Silk purse, sow's ear and all that. Datone Jones, I'm looking at you. You need to bring it this year. Jerel Worthy may have initially had bad luck in 2012 with his knee getting injured, but he had time to heal, and other opportunities, and couldn't make good. That's a bad projection on him. Kyhri Thornton was a reach as well. This guy never looked like a player. It's not that they didn't make it. Lots of players don't. It's that Packers wasted high picks, and are still struggling to find that solid unit on the DL. I give them credit for finding guys like Mike Pennel. Perhaps they should just stop drafting DL, or get a scout specialist who can spot a DL player when he sees one.

I haven't seen any comment here on Mitchell Henry being claimed by the Broncos off waivers. Is this one that got away (ala Charles Johnson) or just-a-guy?

It's not like we have a multitude of talent at the TE position.

Ted was prob disappointed to lose him but that's the risk you take with these last cut-downs. Perhaps Mike and Ted felt because we kept 2 FBs having 3 TEs is sufficient?
