If I had to guess the unknown player, probably a defensive linemen, especially since they said they'd probably bring Talley and Toribio (KC) back and neither are there.

A pretty weak bunch in my opinion.

Simkins was a Green Bay Blizzard player brought in half way through camp due to injuries. And he's 27! Not much upside there.

West looked inferior to Williams in my opinion, but what the heck do I know.

I'm glad we kept Breno after all the time we put into his development but it just shows all that 'interest' in him must have been luke warm if no team claimed him. The Vikings wanted him for their PS but none of the OL starved teams didn't pick him up.

I'd rather have a CB and a DL on there considering Justin's back could go any minute.

Question: Did the punter Bryan get signed by someone else?

I thought there was a report that GB promised they'd sign him to the PS if no one picked him up.

But I could be misremembering, or just remembering some agent's wishful thinking.

There was such a rumour. Last I heard, Bryan is getting a tryout with another team.

RB Johnson is the final practice squad member

By Rob Demovsky

As expected, the eighth member of the Packers practice squad is a running back.

Its James Johnson, a 5-foot-11, 207-pound first-year player out of Kansas State. But Johnson has been around hte NFL for a couple of years. He was an undrafted free agent signed by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2008. He played in four games for the Bengals in 2008 before he was released and then spent time on their practice squad in 2008 and 2009. He was back with the Bengals again this preseason. He will wear No. 39.

The last spot was surely going to go to a running back after GM Ted Thompson kept only two halfbacks Ryan Grant and Brandon Jackson on the roster.

Johnson is the only member of the eight-man squad that wasnt with the Packers in camp. The others are: T Chris Campbell, LB Robert Francois, T Breno Giacomini, QB Graham Harrell, S Anthony Levine, LB Maurice Simpkins and WR Chastin West.

Except for Graham Harrell and Robert Francois, those are not the players I would've expected to make the practice squad. Just goes to show how little I know about these bottom-tier players. Either that or Ted Thompson is a complete idiot. Yeah, that's it: Ted Thompson is a complete idiot.

Yep. Looks like Bryan is signing with Tampa Bay and will be a part of their 53-man roster. If this holds true, I'm very happy for him. I got this from Rob Demovsky's twitter account:

Source just told @PeteDougherty that P Chris Bryan will sign with Tampa Bay and be on their 53. More info coming at Packersnews.com/insiders

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)
