Packer Cuts Announced

[woodbuck27]

Birdine may very well be back v. soon.

[pack4to84]

Roster breakdown:

2 QB
5 WR
2 TE
5 RB
1 FB
9 OL
5 DE
6 DT
5 LB
6 CB
4 S
1 K
1 P
1 LS

With only 1 FB and 2 TEs, this team isn't done adding players yet. Waiver wire will come into play.

5 RB's ?? 6 CB's ?? 9 DL ??

and only 5 LBer's ??

More work to do there.

5+6=11

My guess TT still trying to work out a trade sending one of our DL men. Don't see use keeping 11 DL men.

The depth chart doesn't really mean anything right now. Harrell isn't going to start week 1 either.

I wonder if it is possible that he does start.

[RashanGary]

I would be shocked if Harrell starts on opening day. The starter isn't the most important thing if they all play but when you have Jolly, Williams and Cole who are all better and you play Harrell more than any of them, you are committing a football sin. Harrell mgiht see the field but he should be the least used in our DT rotation right now and there is no way he should start just becuase it would be a complete joke to the guys who beat him out.

[Harlan Huckleby]

this is a long shot, but I wonder if the Packers project HArrell to be an important player before the end of the year. Maybe they are pushing him to achieve a lot yet this season.

[RashanGary]

I WAS DEAD WRONG ON DENDY, BTW. . . Just WRONG. The guy sucked. It was good to see them keep a guy like Williams though. He earned his spot.

I guess there is some logic in this but Jolly has stepped up more than I thought he would and now you just can't force feed Harrell snaps at the expence of Jolly. Maybe at the expense of Cole but not Jolly and you can't start him because it's insulting to the other players.

[RashanGary]

Maybe Williams can play like 25% snaps at DT and 25% snaps at DE making his total around 50%.


Pickett 60%, Jolly 20%, Cole 20%
Jolly 40%, Williams 25%, Cole 10%, Harrell 25%

This way everyone plays. Harrell might be more effective on his first 10 snaps than Cole is on his 40th and 50th snap. I don't think something like this is coming at the expense of the team just because it keeps guys fresh and everyone is more effective while they are in.

Harrell hasn't been horrible. I saw him blow up a couple runs and he was very alert on that interception. He did that a lot in college, it wasn't a fluke. HE's just aware in that area of the game. He surely hasn't lived up to the #16 billing but he's not junk either. He can play, he just better be completely rested and going 110% every snap he gets because he wouldn't be good enough at anything less than his all.

Birdine had his moments, but I can't get over the fact that he was winded all of the time. Not just tired, but a lay on the ground like he couldn't play one more down type thing. I've met people like that. Good athletes. Played a lot of sports. But would get winded sooner than others. Made me wonder if he smokes.

You are developing a reputation for your DB scouting.......first Hawkins, now Dendy

You are developing a reputation for your DB scouting.......first Hawkins, now Dendy

I plan on overcoming that issue. I've watched football for a long time but only in the last three years have I had my opinions challenged and there for it was only the last couple eyars that I've grown. I had the severe disadvantage of seeing guys compared to Carroll. I fully intend on rectifying this chink in my Armour.

I am wrong quite a bit. I throw my opinion around quite a bit though so I'm going to be. I strive to be better though and I think I'm getting there over time. I have no problem fessing up when I'm off base though. There is nothing wrong with that. I'm hard on people who don't admit when they are wrong though. It's one of my pet peeves.

Besides he played the run like shit.

Last time I checked....LOL...


I told you guys TT was bluffing on the kicker thing. No way he keeps 2.

I'm a little surprised the Packers have 5 RBs. Morency must be hurt worse than they let on.....

Actually, it's Herron that's hurt. He got scoped today and is expected to miss 3 weeks. With Jackson recovering from a concussion and Morency having missed the preseason, they need to have extra guys right now.
