[...] come on. That’s pretty ridiculous. You would think that if the name of your post is “Which Packers will make the team of 53?” you would take the time to add. I think what happened is that the brother who can add is at [...]

KGB cut?? AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!

Seriously though, there’s no way we keep 6 cornerbacks.

Bucky – actually, that’s why I figured Herron will make the cut. I think the coaches will want a solid/reliable type back on the team. Probably not a bad idea to be safe, he’s just not that good. It does seem Jackson blanks on some plays…but the coaches seem to like him.

Noah Herron will make the team. He’s a bright guy and they’ll need someone in the backfield who can remember the plays. Jackson sure ain’t that guy.

Hello awhayes, I am glad we have such a great community at this forum. I decided to change up my last name like favre did, but still pronounce it like it is suppose to be spelled.

Crap jwestphal, I usually do a quick edit and when I did, I could have sworn there were 53 players listed. Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll update the post and try to come up with 5 players who won’t make it. Shaving these final 5 will be like shaving 5 strokes off a sub-10 golf handicap…tough…

Good thoughts Ron L – the severity of the injuries we presently have will go a long way in determining how many players from each position we keep. O-Line injuries are worrisome and may require us to keep more than we normally would. It’s difficult to know what’s what w/re to the injuries. I’ve heard Pickett is essentially fine but just being overly cautious and at one point I heard that about Hawk (though being listed as week to week suggests that it may be more severe). If Peprah’s injury is at all serious, he may end up getting cut.

Good article except I don’t think the league will let you keep 58 players…it’s 53 per team..don’t you edit this stuff?

Aaron Rodgers, by the way, we’re honored that you come to our site for the latest Packer talk! When we got rid of Williams and I saw how much he got on the open market, I wasn’t devastated, but even going back to last year, I had wanted to at least talk to him and make an offer of some kind. We may end up missing him more than I realize, but I do think when Pickett is back and if Jolly is allowed to play, our run D may end up being OK. Pickett is really one of the most underrated DTs in the league and his absence is a huge void.

Good point DaveK, maybe both QBs will just be sacked over and over and not have a chance to do much. Then I guess we’d evaluate them based on who is sacked less and throws fewer picks!
