I'm a little bit disappointed on several fronts, but whatever.

I sincerely HOPE they don't get rid of Gaston when Guion comes back - Gaston greatly outplayed both Guion and Raji.

We have too many O Linemen - poor quality and no use on special teams. And Harris played good, but to choose him over Crockett and Neal is a puzzler. Nick Perry would seem to be there on seniority alone - not quality. And we threw away SO MANY quality players - some of whom we might be able to keep on the practice squad, but not many I think.

Oh well. We still have the best team in the NFL.

I don't like keeping this many OGs either (5 as I think of Barclay as an OG) but they played very well, and I think clearly were part of the top 53 guys...

I felt like Harris was the best pure runner... but didn't offer a lot of versatility, I thought the Packers would want more versatility but I guess they just wanted the best runner.

And remember, it is a week-to-week 46 man ACTIVE roster. It's not like all 9 are going to suit up for game day.

The team also waived/injured WR Larry Pinkard and LB Jermauria Rasco. Additionally, DE Letroy Guion and DE Datone Jones were placed on the reserve/suspended list. The transactions were announced Saturday by Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations.

What gives?
