Save to say Janis isn't getting cut. He is quietly putting together a nice off-season. Is this year 3 or 4 for him?

I'm actually, for the first time, happy he's on the team. Great ST player and now he looks like a serviceable WR.

I've only been begging for this for 11 years. a TE who can block and catch...novel idea.

Plodder can block and catch; he just runs a 9.3 forty

Rodgers indicated he'll play more next week at Denver.

Don't know how long starters will play. Hope Denver takes Von Miller out before Spriggs gets in.

I seem to recall Lynn Dickey throwing to Jeff Janis.

Bacteria looked good. He's not the biggest and strongest LT, but he has great feet and good leverage. No one seems to get by him, even if they crunch the pocket a little from time to time.

I finally got to watch the game this morning on NFL Network.

Josh Hawkins made some good plays, but he also got picked on and beat a lot. If he is our 4th, 5th, or 6th Corner, fine, but he needs to improve more to not be a weakness. We've got a LOT of fairly decent Corners, several of whom won't even make the team. What we really need is for somebody - Kevin King - to stand out from the crowd. I'd say the jury is still out on that. He too looked good at times but gave up some completions to some pretty average receivers.

Others I thought looked surprisingly good: Price and maybe Ringo in the D Line, Fackerell and Elliot (he's not a surprise for me) at OLB, Evans again at Safety, Donatello Brown at Corner, Taysom Hill (but he didn't seem as good on film as he looked just on the stat sheet), Aaron Jones, Geronimo Allison - quicker than I remembered him, that's about it.

Minor disappointments: Callahan, maybe Jamal Williams although he didn't get any blocking, the first and maybe second string O Lines, Yancey - after a good game last week, Trevor Davis - I see McCaffrey's only chance to make the team displacing Davis, and he's making progress toward doing that, Martellis Bennet - one good catch, one drop, Kendrick - are they not targeting him? Or is he just not getting open? That's all I can think of.

A lot more to be happy with than not.

But if he goes down they are screwed.

Lowry's injury looks like a hyperextension. http://packerswire.usatoday.com/2017...inst-redskins/. At the :08 mark.

It would be a hard call if Janis wasn't one of the top 2 ST'ers.

Since he is, he's on the roster.
