Demovsky Projection of 53 Man Roster

If Packers don't keep McCaffrey, by season's end he will be tearing it up for NE.

He's so overrated it's not even funny...

are you kidding? He fits the mold of what NE does with their little scrawny receivers.

I think Price stays regardless of Adams. If Adams is IR, then it opens up one more for another position. No way for two fullbacks. I still think they keep all three RB draft picks and maybe cross train Mays as a backup FB. I've been thinking either McCaffrey OR Trevor Davis; I now think McCaffrey is gone and Davis stays. Yes, McCaffrey probably is overrated. We have to keep 3 TEs. From what I've seen, I'd elevate Rodgers over Kendricks. I think we keep 3 QBs and try to PS the 4th. Next week will determine who stays on the 53 between Callahan and Hill. Agreed, several of those backup O Linemen have looked pretty bad; Geoff Gray #74 has looked fairly decent but I doubt they keep him unless he can be a backup Center, though. I actually saw some good things from Spriggs in the NFL Network replay today - more bad than good still, but maybe not as bad as some are saying.

I think Michael Cohen went to Office Depot last weekend and bought loose leaf paper with school supplies.

If they keep Adams on the roster with virtually no camp they must think he will show up in pass rush in a big way second half of season.

I don't know how to choose between Mays and Jones. Williams can run, block and catch well. But Jones might be as good a runner and Mays is the best pass catcher back there.

So Scout.com implemented a new web design this year. They have gone to more slide shows, though not quite as horrible as the old Bleacher Report site. They also disabled copy and past from the text of the article. This flummoxed me for almost a month, until I remembered the laptop can make a PDF from any page displayed.

Vogel punted seven times and averaged 46.9 yards in Thursday’s preseason finale vs. the Los Angeles Rams. Two other numbers should weigh heavily in Vogel’s favor when the Packers pick their 53-man roster on Saturday. First, Vogel averaged 4.60 seconds of hang time. Second, only three of his punts were returned for only 8 yards. Vogel’s first six punts averaged 4.81 seconds of hang time and resulted in minus-6 return yards.

If I were in a media company, I would give serious thought to mailing copies of the material out each week for subscriptions. Saturday Evening Post style.

Well, thank goodness Vogel didn't shank two or three.

I guess he's the punter.

They damn well better not dump him for some Schum clone.

Jones and Mays were getting worked into special teams - a good sign they will stay.

QB (2) - Aaron Rodgers, Brett Hundley
RB (5) - Ty Montgomery, Aaron Ripkowski, Jamaal Williams, Aaron Jones, Devante Mays
WR (5) - Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Davante Adams, Trevor Davis, Jeff Janis
TE (3) - Martellus Bennett, Lance Kendricks, Richard Rodgers
OL (9) - David Bakhtiari, Lane Taylor, Corey Linsley, Jahri Evans, Bryan Bulaga, Don Barclay, Jason Spriggs, Kyle Murphy, Lucas Patrick
DL (6) - Mike Daniels, Kenny Clark, Dean Lowry, Ricky Jean-Francois, Montravius Adams, Christian Ringo
OLB (6) - Clay Matthews, Nick Perry, Ahmad Brooks, Kyler Fackrell, Jayrone Elliott, Reggie Gilbert
ILB (3) - Jake Ryan, Blake Martinez, Joe Thomas

S (5) - Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Morgan Burnett, Kentrell Brice, Josh Jones, Marwin Evans
ST (3) - Mason Crosby, Justin Vogel, Brett Goode

SUSP - Geronimo Allison
PUP - Vince Biegel

I think they'll keep Patrick or Brian Price until Allison returns. I lean towards Patrick because they may need a backup interior OL for the first game.

I have Fackrell, Elliott, and Gilbert making it, but if Gilbert makes it, it will probably be at the expense of Elliott or Fackrell. That would open a spot for Taysom Hill, Joe Kerridge, or one of the young WRs.

Guys that I'd like to see on the PS that I don't have making the final roster: QB Hill, WR Dupre, WR Yancey, WR Clark, OL Gray, DL Price

Hard to argue with much of that. I'd put McCaffrey on the squad and Patrick and Kerridge to PS on offense. On defense, I'd put Tripp on the team and Adams on IR. Derrick Mathews and Donatello Brown to the PS.

Calvin and Pipkens to the Practice Squad too but that's too many. Dump Gray and Dupre maybe.

Allison would move Mays to the PS and another guy with potential hits the street.

[texaspackerbacker]

No reason we can't keep the 4 RBs plus Ripkowski as well as 7 WRs (Nelson, Adams, Cobb, Janis, Davis, Yancey, and Clark the first week, with Clark going to the PS when Allison returns). 2 QBs, 3 TEs, 8 O linemen, 3 special teamers, 6 D Linemen (Daniels, Clark, Lowery, Price, Francois, Ringo with Adams IR), 5 OLBs (Matthews, Perry, Brooks, Elliot, either Fackrell or Gilbert), 3 ILBs, 6 Corners, 5 Safetys.

That's the 53 I project that we keep.

McCaffrey doesn't do much for me. He doesn't look natural catching punts. Both punts he caught last night were awkward catches from my view in the stands. He's like another Jared Abbrederis. Putting Adams and Tripp on IR is a good idea. Teams don't need to designate the player to return anymore and you can bring two guys off IR. However, I'm not clear on the rule. Does the player have to be on the 53 man roster first?
