McCaffrey caught everything thrown to ,even the bad throws. I see NE picking him up to replace Edleman.

It was obvious this team had a glut of talented receivers and horrible depth on the O line. So of course we kept twice as many O linemen as receivers.

From the receiver group it would be a bummer to lose McCaffrey and Clark if they can't be signed to our PS. Still wondering why Clark chose to come here since he signed after the draft. Like both of their potential.

And speaking of the PS, how many WR's does GB want there anyway? You still have to fit in a number of other position groups. Dupre I kind of like, Yancey - meh.

Color me surprised. I in no way anticipated TT keeping that many running backs. Just a week ago we were discussing the possibility of having 8 WR on the roster. I'm not onboard with this decision as I just don't see how this benefits our style of offense.

I don't feel the Packers will store much more than 2 WRs on the Practice Squad. There are just too many other needs. Look for Gilbert, Brown, a TE, one of the O-linemen to be cut and resigned once they find a veteran, Price, Hill, an ILB,....all of course, if still available.

Barclay must not be ready to go in game 1, so they had to keep either McCray or Patrick as a backup center, but why both?

I believe the Packers will go with 6WRs once Allison returns for Week 2. The question will be who gets cut then.
M. Adams will go to IR to make room for Brooks.

Maybe Fackrell gets released to make room for Allison or possibly McCray or Patrick. It may depend on how the PS shakes out as well.

With the return of Allison I can see the Packers going with 6 WRs plus Monty, Jones and Mays can receive coming out of the backfield. Couple that with 3 TEs and Rodgers has a total of 12 weapons. Our offense will be fine.

There will be a few more moves before it's all settled.
Thanks, Since '61

I would be almost amused if GB cuts all ties with Yancey, Dupre, Clark and Max. I'd be upset too, especially with the last two.

I am reading that John Greco, C/G, who has played both positions, is among the most attractive OL available. Alex Boone gets mentioned, but I don't think he plays center.

Any other candidates at any positions?

Maybe the reason for all the running backs is if due to injury Monty can revert back if the other backs can carry the load .

Gilbert and McCaffrey were better at their position than some others were that were kept at other positions. Too bad but that's how it goes in Rock-N-Roll.

Ten offensive lineman? Well I guess that goes under the heading of all the backups stink so lets keep a bunch of em. And keeping three tight ends shows how much they want to run two tight end formations.

Adams going on IR to be called back midseason to add Brooks makes sense, but whos on the team for only a week when Allison is back in week two?

Not surprised at all. Sorry for MacCaffrey, not enough slots. Should have turned his ankle or bruised his shin, then he could join Kerridge on the IR. (MM walks into RB room. Walks up to Kerridge.'Son you twisted your ankle, go see the trainer.' Turns, walks out.) Packers needed to save two slots, and shifted one the the defense for an extra DB. (packers going to hyde pipkins) Picking up Brooks took another slot away. So there were only 7-9 open on the 53 this year. Looking forward to the PS signing, at some point some of these guys will be on the 53. I wonder who will be on the packers ready list this year, it would give us an idea of their future needs.

On offensive, WR and OL don't make sense. Lot more WR talent to drop. Perhaps Barclay is hurt more than expected. I think a guy like John Greco would be a good pickup.

On defensive side, 7 CB don't make sense. There isn't that talent. GABE should do some more shopping and let Gunter go.

I don't like it.

10 OL??? There weren't even 8 that should be on an NFL roster. 7 CBs? 5 RBs? And both Gilbert and Price left off the roster. Both were deserving.

I understand keeping Fackrell given his draft status, but he's pretty much sucked too.

Why note keep Clark and/or McCaffrey over the schlock we had at backup OL?

Ted, I just don't get you sometimes.

Final roster?? --- I doubt it. -- The OL is definitely a concern. -- One injury anywhere and there's a problem. -- Priority #1 is to protect AR.

I don't like the Reggie Gilbert cut, that dude out played, out muscled and out hustled both Elliot and Fackrell all camp and all 4 preseason games. Hope he goes unclaimed, gets to the PS and gets elevated to the 53 at some point.

Feels a little like the Joe Thomas cut last year or the year before, he got frustrated and signed with Dallas practice squad instead of GBs before Ted poached him back from them. Wouldn't be surprised to see the same scenario unfold if Gilbert with him signing elsewhere if doesn't get claimed outright for someone's 53. The guy is a player.

Also liked McCaffery, Clark and Dupre but you can't keep them all, hopefully all 3 make it to the PS. Allison outplayed the 3 of them IMO and Janis and Davis were kept mostly for their special teams prowess and speed but both look improved as WRs over last year.

We already have 7 good options in the pass game with the 3 TEs and Allison, not counting RBs, so their STs contributions will be more valuable to GB than what they can do at WR anyway. Davis and Janis do bring that big play ability with their speed though so they won't go unused or shouldn't on offense.

It is interesting how people here has so little confidence in Packers organization and coaching staff. That organization and coaches preparing team every year to the level of contender. And people here is not satisfied with that.
Regarding not final roster. It might make a lot of sense. First, we knows how players perform on open practices and preseason games. Both occasions are vanilla regarding schemes and requests asked from players to do. That can show you pure athleticism. Not much of football intelligence. But, coaches and personal department are in meetings, closed practices and in contact with medical staff, strength and condition trainers etc.
So, we are operating with limited level of data and, sometimes, some decision from Packers looking strange for us (I know they look "strange" for me), but, by time, it turn around that I was wrong and Packers are right. Well, maybe not in 100% but very close to that.
So, I think we should stay calm and look for new, very soon, events which will give us more insight what Packers are doing.
Also, the road for catastrophe is to claim other teams OT or G/C and plug him after few practices in the starting OL. In that case I can predict so many false starts and so many disarray in functioning of the line.
No need for that.
With existing offensive linemen, Aaron knows what he has. With new face he does not. So, that is recipe for disaster...

Hope ted finds a couple veteran backups on the wire. O line, d line, and maybe lb

And we add "Crospy" as our kicker ;-).
I hope that McCraffry makes it to the PS and Gilbert as well.
Everyone else cut is meh.

I can hardly drink my coffee because I'm laughing so hard. It always cheers me up to see all the pundits and super fans trying to rationalize all the insane, unexplainable stuff that Ted does. It will never make sense to us mortal humans, Ted's head is a dark and scary place.

Hope TT picks us up some OL depth.
