    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

    Feeling some new liking to the mailman for including Abby in his final 53.

    If you listen to MM's interviews he really likes Abby.....talked of his natural hands as a returner and instincts in making others miss. Also a very good route runner....I fear we're cutting him in hopes nobody picks him up and then we stash him on the practice squad for a while. We kind of get two free spots for a bit; I hope Joe is right and they look at him more.
    TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

      Abby missed all of last season, has done nothing this preseason except languish with a concussion, and you guys want him on the roster?

      Let him go.

        We've hung onto other players with similar credentials in the past.

          If it were up to me, I'd keep Crockett instead of Kuhn, and Gaston instead of Thornton.
          One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

            Every year people call for a 6th WR...every year it doesn't happen.

            I say Perillo makes it before a 6th WR. Not sure if White or Abby is gone. I get that Abby has potential as a returner, but isn't that what Montgomery is supposed to be bringing to the team?

            Gunther seems like a shoe-in, that's pretty incredible. If he keeps improving, a year or two from now the Packers could have a pair of UDFAs starting at corner!

              Still no love for Banjo even after one interception and one tip for another guy's interception? I wish they would cut Richardson, but that ain't happening. Also, Pinkard deserves consideration - I think we would lose him if they tried the practice squad. I don't think they keep 6 D Linemen. Ringo and Thornton both should go and Gaston kept. I like Maxi's idea of Crockett as a back up FB and let Kuhn go, but I doubt they see it that way. Also, it seems like Barclay earned a ticket out of town and either Taylor or Rotheram will stay.
              What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                Abbrederis should get to the PS but I don't think they are overly concerned if he doesn't.

                I think they'd pick up James Jones immediately if he gets cut.

                Hundley's been a big surprise, but not enough to supplant Tolzein as back-up IMO. He still locks onto receivers at times and has a lot to learn yet. His poise, mental clock and decisiveness has been very good though, which a lot of people (me included) didn't expect yet.

                Gaston has earned a spot over Thornton IMO.

                Lane Taylor has jumped and is one of the 53 best but he can't play tackle. I wouldn't be shocked if they picked up someone from the remains who can hold up at tackle over Barclay, Walker, and/or Tretter. Back-up tackle is a concern I think. I guess Lang could slide out if needed.

                Goodson or Banjo for the last DB spot... depends on Goodson's health. Banjo didn't hurt his chances last night but if healthy, I think Goodson's the better player.

                I think both Harris and Crockett could develop/ have higher upside than Neal but not this year.

                Vaughters has looked decent too. I may need to eat some crow re: him someday.

                  The have had that ever since Shields became a starter, until this year. He and Tramon Williams were both undrafted.

                    That's asking a lot, tackles are scare commodities. I wonder if Vujnovich isn't the best option at backup tackle.

                      I'm not sure on how the numbers would work out, but I have a fear that a few bigger name players to us maybe cut.

                      Tolzien - not that he hasn't played well, Hundley just played better...and NOT like a rookie. He could come in and play this year or even start if needed. Roster spots are huge, not sure Packers can waste 3 on QB's; would rather put a developmental one on PS.

                      Starks/Kuhn - I think Neal and Ripkowski have played at a high level. Again, roster spots are valuable.

                      Masthay - this worked out bad for us years back, but he had been punting horribly...only thing that might save him is holding for Crosby.
                      If you don't like me....bite me...
                      ....want some, come get some!

                        I agree mostly. If we keep only two QB's on the 53 (#12 and Hundley) and both go down this season, the rest of the season is a crapshoot no matter who steps in at QB.

                        Ripkowski is a Kuhn clone. Why keep both?

                        We can use the extra roster spots for the DL (Gaston) and/or an extra RB (Crockett).

                            Lions or Bears will be all over this.

                              I don't think Vujnovich can hold up against a good bull rush consistently yet which is job 1. He needs another year to get stronger and heavier.
