I just don't think Abby is going to be able to cut it physically due to his slight build.
Even if he makes the team, I feel that it will only be a a short matter of time until injury derails his career.

Has Hayward been injured this year? Besides, are you not disappointed that they are injured. I know I am.

As encouraged as I am about LaDarius Gunter, I'm equally disappointed by Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins.

There are 16 LBs currently on the roster.

The battles are going to be fierce and as always the best 10 or 11 will emerge and make the final 53.

Still plenty of time for those who the writer has deemed dissapointments, in the end, I am confident Ted, Mike and company will put the best 53 man squad available.

Abby is in trouble.
Prediction, he ends up on IR this year and will get 1 more chance to make it next year.

The rest will fight it out.

Has Thornton made any improvements? He got a terrible review last week.

Montgomery seems to be the highlight in camp for the new players and it's good to see Mulumba and Palmer stepping up at a position of need. Gunter developing into a top CB would be outstandingly wonderful, assuming Randall and Collins become as good as we hope. Man would we be deep in DBs and WRs, a great situation to be in. I'm most disappointed in Thornton and Bradford, I really thought they would make a huge jump this year. Abby will play in the NFL as long as injury doesn't put him totally out of the game. But as mentioned his chances with the Pack are dwindling, that's disappointing to me, I really want to see him play as a Packer.

Why would you be disappointed in randall

Yeah I don't quite get the disappointment in Hayward... he was held out early on while they made sure his hammy was okay, but didn't he get back on the field? And honestly haven't heard anything about him. I have heard about Shields getting beat a couple of times and then coming back on one and making a great recovery.

Gunter, I've heard both extremes, sounds like he's making a big play every practice but getting beat bad a few times every practice as well.


My surprise would also include Rookie CBs, Raji, OGs Taylor and Walker, QB Blanchard, RB Harris, Richardson, Banjo, and WRs Hunt, Pinkard

My disappointments would also include Thornton, Hubbard, Backman, Jones, Janis, Goodson, Rotheram, and almost all of the ILB as I think Mike McCarthy basically called the group out suggesting they need to show better.

Raijon Neal got some pub for his play during his increased snaps. I'm not high or low on anyone because I haven't seen them myself.

GAMES are where we can see who is who. I LOVE the preseason...heck, it's almost as fun as the regular season for me. Couldn't care less if we win in preseason... I just love seeing all the new guys and some of the young guys who may have improved. The 2nd half is the best viewing of all long after the broadcasters have become bored is when I really get interested. Gotta feeling more fans will watch deeper into games due to Hundley. People are going want to see him.

If I had a list:

All the new RB's including our new FB.

All the new WR's and TE's ...very curious about Mitchell Henry because he could start for us due to the slop we have at the position.

New Punter Howie Mandell...I know it's not Howie but I'm sure he'll be comical. I want to see him hold for Crosby.

All the new ILB's... Mulumba and Elliott at OLB

Randall, Rollins, Gunter

Ringo and Gaston on DL

Sadly, I don't know if we'll get to see the real effect of the coaching changes until a couple weeks into the season.

Oh, and I can't forget... want to see if Aaron Rodgers has "lost it" and it's time for the guy who could really get our offense humming, Scotty T.

Lots to look forward to.
