I, too, would like to see Saine stay. What's up with his injury?

My thoughts...

I don’t get Andrew Quarless and Brandon Saine, but Packer fans love these guys. I read it all the time, even on this forum. Frankly, I find both players underwhelming. Saine‘s a bad pass protector, lacks explosion, and often fails to find the hole. He’s a No. 3 running back, but he’s not in the same league as Alex Green, in my assessment. Quarless looks like Tarzan, but plays like Jane. He can’t catch and his route running isn’t improving. Because of his route running, I don’t have confidence with him as a wide receiver on the outside. He’s also not an H-Back as Ryan Taylor and D.J. Williams are. There's no versatility. He's a poor man's Tom Crabtree.

I'm surprised with Daniel Muir. You'd think they'd want depth, but Philip Merling and Mike Daniels both had a strong last few weeks. I wonder if they're comfortable with Ryan Picket or Jerel Worthy at nose if something happens to Raji. That probably left Muir expendable.

Boykins was good enough to make the roster. I don't think he would've gone unclaimed.

Gurley is a tough cut. I liked him a lot on special teams, but Ted Thompson doesn't value special teams as other teams do. I think he's alright with a below average coverage unit if it means a deeper offense and defense. That's why Boykins is on the team and Gurley isn't.

im very happy the pack is sticking with boykins, i like this kid hes fast and looks to have good hands, gurley shot himself after not catching a harrell bomb down the sidelines, if it were arod throwing it in a regular season game he wouldnt see any more balls !!

I thought so too. As I mentioned in an earlier post I cut him in my first attempt to make a out a roster a month ago. I only kept him recently when the suspensions were handed down.

Porky, I think we are going to see a lot of Pickett at nose tackle, spelling an out of shape BJ Raji, especially when Neal gets back from suspension. Muir is just a guy, but he is more of a DT in 4-3 than a NT in a 3-4. Pickett is on his last big contract in Green Bay.

I do applaud the effort Muir gave in training camp though. I hope someone picks him up.

hope so too. He is a nice enough guy with some talent.
