The move makes perfect sense.

Bush probably is the better special teams player. And given our OL and S problems, we're going to need special teams play more than ever.

Very surprised with this. Let us not forget that we should get Bigby back in a couple weeks and Martin might be ready to go against the queens. Maybe this was a decent long term move?

Well lets just wait and see if the new guy can adapt to the scheme quickly to see what can be done, so whose starting on Sunday is my question? Martin and Bush? or is Collins' injury not a big deal? either way if it is Martin or Bush im kinda worried we will see

I think this is a matter of Rouse being unreliable as hell. Sure, bigby isnt much better, but Rouse has never in his career been healthy to start for more than 3 games in a row. He gets one start here and is injured again? I think they are just cutting they're losses on the guy.

Do i think its a great move for next sunday? No... Could it be a good long-term move? Yeah, i think so, give a roster spot to a player who doesn't get injured every time he has a chance to contribute.

From a Colts website:

Of that group, it sounds like Giordano might be worth signing. From Stampede Blue:

The last few seasons, one of the best special teams players on the Colts was safety Matt Giordano. Giordano was also one of the fastest players on the team PERIOD, and he had a knack for delivering big hits (like the one he placed on a Bears tight end in the Super Bowl).

Yes! Another special teams player! We're not going to be mean in the trenches, but our special teams will be the envy of the league. Maybe we can start punting on 3rd down to keep our franchise QB healthy.

The Pack Will Be Back.

I'm excited about Giordano (and not just as a special teamer, he can actually play safety). However, the decision to cut Rouse is another in a long line of head-scratchers. Why keep him over Smith in the first place?

When speaking of injury prone players, does Justin Harrell come to mind?!?
I was shocked with the Smith cut....now i'm just flat @$$ worried about the sanity of TT.

You want to finish your career here?

the big hits part was said the same thing about smith and we easily cut him.

but this thread is about rouse - and to tell you the truth his last years performance I wasnt happy with (whenever he got on the field I was like errr); this year he wasnt doing too bad but we could do better IMO. Just hope this guy is.

Now time to nab woodhead off the jets practice squad (hint hint)

^^^ that's true he is.....maybe people were just overhyped due to his preseason performance and not really evaluating his play? because if he cannot be a starter with the rams then that's just sayin somethin

beast (16h) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills

Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
