August 24th - CUTS

[Harlan Huckleby]

Thought that Thompson would for sure be cut. Or at least wishful thinking. I'd much rather go with 2 QB's and Holiday as the emergency #3

I agree with the end result you want, but Thompson has some ability. If they let him go now, it would be less likely that they could get him on their practice squad.

Actually, I like Thompson's potential enough that I wouldn't be too bothered if they kept him as the third string QB. In a way, the emergency QB is a bonus active roster spot on gameday.

If Sherm can keep two punters, TT can stash a QB with potential on the roster.

The guy could be practice squad material.

No surprises. I did kind of like "DIngleberry" Martin, just cuz of the name, though.

Packers Release Eleven Players
posted 08/24/2007

The Green Bay Packers released 11 players Friday. The transactions were announced by Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations.

Released Friday were center C.J. Blomvall, wide receiver Carlton Brewster, fullback Erryn Cobb, punter Ryan Dougherty, defensive end DeVon Hicks, cornerback Antonio Malone, quarterback Ingle Martin, guard Pat Murray, running back P.J. Pope, linebacker Juwan Simpson and tight end Joe Werner.

Feel bad for C. Brewster but the rest. . .nawwww.

Ingle Martin (talk about invisible) was selected with picks obtained trade for the original received from Javon Walker trade.

There still is Colledge, Blackmon, Jolly, and Culver(this week) from that trade.

Though some may not agree I think Blomvall might get a practice squad spot.

Next week I think the culutative injury situation to Hodge puts him on the IR. I don't think they will give up on him yet.

They may very well cut Thompson but they may also sign him to the practice squad as well. McCarthy said he was going to keep the best 53 players regardless of position. I wonder then why Manual is even on the team anymore?
