Hodge is a surprise.

Also, for those who are concerned about the depth chart: Flynn is now listed as the #2 QB.

Very active day today. Packers relase Ryan and Hodge then sign Punter Derick Frost (Redskins) and long snapper Brett Goode (Cut by Jaguars in June). I’m affraid the Hodge is going to be grabbed and won’t make the Practice Squad.

And now it’s 8. Many of the young guys cut earlier. No herron and no Marency.

you’re right, of course. rob davis is the guy we’re talking about. (i thought johnson sounded funny…)
anyway, here’s the article i was talking about:
http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=788833
about halfway down the page, it says: “Any player on the reserve/retired list who is employed by a club off the field cannot be placed on the roster after the cutdown to 75 players.” guess that means davis is out of the running; if the article is accurate.

Who gets cut when the sign a long snapper? Bush? Preprah? White? Giacomini? I am guessing White. You hate to let him go but the depth at LB is outstanding and you would hate to thin out the secondary or O-Line.

That, of course, should have been Rob Davis. Unfortunately there is something called a stockpiling rule. T.T. is apparently in contact with the league about an exemption.

i read somewhere that he (johnson) can’t come back since he’s employed by the front office now and it’s after july 1, or something to that effect. can’t find confirmation right now because the site i saw it at (packerchatters.com) seems to be having difficulties. can anyone else verify about johnson?
as to the rest of the roster, i am quite concerned about the defensive line (the DTs, really). however, jenkins can play DT, and i wouldn’t be surprised to see a mimic of the giants success from last season using 4 DEs on passing downs to rush the passer for some extra pressure. worked for them.

Interesting read from Packers.com

If you read between the lines more changes are likely this week. I might give odds that Rob Johnson will be back from retirement.

I’m sad to see Noah Herron was cut. I had a chance to meet with him last year at Football 101 for women. The break-in at his house definitely affected him. I was surprised they kept Hall and Kuhn as fullbacks. Lumpkin did deserve a spot on the team. He had a great training camp and pre-season.
