Folks remember Ted Thompson believes in his players being able to play multiple positions and he's not to concerned about have a player that plays one position well.

Where's the proof of this silly statement? I'm guessing you read something about how two players were very close and one's ability to play ST well was the deciding factor, and you determined that they chose to take the player who was ok on D (or O) and ST vs. the player who was great on D (or O) and bad on ST. Reading an article with a skewed perception and letting it affect what you read is pretty much your M.O..

Not worth it, man - best not to even read a word he writes for a while. Dude's going to be thrilled if the team does poorly for no other reason than he gets to be "right" on the internet - lost cause.

On Topic: I think this is a depth thing, all the way. Collins, Bigby and Rouse are all nicked to some extent and we need another body back there.

The Smith love in this thread is amusing - he looked great on a couple plays (against reserves), but if he was freelancing (and if he wasn't fitting in in the locker room) that would've shown up in bad way this regular season. Martin is supposed to be a better athlete and smarter - why don't we let him prove himself before we assume he sucks?

Bush - I'm going to leave that alone - I don't like him, and if all he's good for is as a ST gunner, I'd just as soon see him gone. I'd much rather have almost anyone else back there @ safety than him.

Last point (and thanks to 93z for saying it first): This is not the FA action that I was hoping to see - unless the name involved is "Runyan", I don't want to hear it.

Packers Sign S Giordano, Release S Rouse; Sign T Randolph To Practice Squad

posted 09/23/2009

The Green Bay Packers have signed S Matt Giordano to the active roster, released S Aaron Rouse and signed T Dane Randolph to the practice squad. Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations, announced the transactions Wednesday.

Giordano (pronounced G-or-DAHN-o), a fifth-year pro, spent the past four seasons (2005-08) with Indianapolis. A fourth-round selection in the 2005 NFL Draft from California, he played in 55 games, including six starts, for the Colts. He will wear No. 47.

Randolph, who spent training camp with the Packers as a non-drafted free agent from Maryland, will wear No. 67.

Rouse, a third-round selection in the 2007 NFL Draft, appeared in 27 career games with Green Bay.

Good choice! When your top 3 safeties get injured, you gotta make a move like this. I think they went with the right choice.

I'm still waiting to hear about a T signing that might actually impact play on the field - good to see we (sort of) replaced Meredith, but it'll make no difference on Sunday.

I'm wondering if they're kicking themselves right now. I'd guess yes.

OMG......we cut Aaron Rouse??? Why the hell does JARRET BUSH still have a roster spot? This kid is an excuse (on defense, anyway). It was another bad decision at the safety spot, cutting Aaron Rouse.

He was a damn good back-up, and he could back up both safety spots. Dumb ass move.

We should all be GM's since we're smarter than the Packers GM.

I'd have cut Bush's ass instead of Rouse because Martin can fill the void of Bush, I think anyhow.

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Or so I thought I did. lol
