We currently have 26 dudes on D-fence compared to 24 on O. So it makes sense that PS is mostly offense. This season’s team would survive without the 2 PS receivers but do you really want them to get picked up by a division rival? Not to mention those guys are the future DDs and G. Jennings for the team.

I’m conflicted about Gordy. He was decent in training camp but his hesitation/lack of aggression against KC did him in. I’m sure he’s a smart player and has the physical ability but you can’t teach instinct and aggression. D. Bowe would be a 3rd stringer on our team and Gordy was going up against the same level of talent from Pack receivers all through training camp. So just because Bowe starts for KC doesn’t give Gordy excuses. He was in position to defense both passes and blew a great opportunity to make the team like So’oto did. And now he isn’t even on practice squad.

Not worried about Bishop or Hawk going down. LB is our deepest position. We have 10 LBs on the roster and I’m positive the play maker who’d step in is on the team already. If the Pack can’t find a suitable replacement from the 6 “backup” LBs then TT and MM aren’t doing their jobs.

@Donny

The problem is only one of them is a defensive player. Whos going to play ILB if Bishop or Hawk get injured? What if Charles Woodson gets injured then we only have 4 corners? Gordy should of been on the PS over Borel!!

What is great about this year’s practice squad is that they can immediately contribute if they get called up to active roster. Next man up and the Pack won’t miss a beat!

Indeed. Had these guys been with some other club during training camp they would likely be on an active roster.

So’oto impressed me in the final preseason game; happy he made the cut. Not really surprised at Dmitri Nance being dropped.

READY FOR THE OPENER AGAINST THE SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was actually a little surprised no other team expressed an interest in Flynn this off season considering how many teams are pathetic at QB. However, since MM&TT historically do such a good job in the draft, the Pack wasn’t really looking for any position for a trade. I’m sure he’ll want a starting gig soon. Not like Rodgers is going to retire in the near future.

Yeah, I was pretty shocked that Harrell was let go. If Harrell was picked up and Flynn gets offered a starting gig somewhere else next year, then what the hell would we do?

However, once again TT and MM show that they know what they are doing as everyone important cleared waivers, including Harrell. Thank God.

James Jones is a big body even though he isn’t particularly tall. He is capable of making catches over guys, as he did against Brent Grimes of Atlanta.

Glad that West, Harrell and Gurley all made it past waivers!!
