I really doubt TJ Lang is going anywhere. For most of last season he was basically the back up at every line position besides C (even some defensive line). He's pretty much earned his spot whether he is a starter or not.

I can see this scenario playing out if Lang plays poorly. Honestly, he should be ahead of Sherrod right now. The fact that Sherrod is getting the first team reps is not a good sign in my opinion. The Packers could also keep nine guys, which would decrease his odds.

Do I think he'll make it?

I honestly believe it's too soon to say one way or another, but it’s not long-shot. The fact that it garnered at least one response kind of fits in with the theme of the thread. Letting go of Lang would surprise some and I think he's 50-50 right now.

Tim Masthay, after the last pre-season game with no other punter on the team.

Ted Thompson re-signs Derrick Frost, currently available as a free agent after being cut by the California Redwoods of the UFL... [palm]

I think it would be more in the premise of the thread to use a realistic player like Crabtree or Howard Green. Lang isn't a realistic cut just because you put him at 50/50 lol.

Lang has been over-rated by the fans, so far.

I want production.

Still glad we let Colledge go, but we need a great replacement. I like our chances on that.


Driver goes nowhere until he decides it's time.


Reduced roll, if Cobb is as good as I/we think.


I vote, "No surprises"


We are pretty thick, talent-wise, at least on paper, and GBP paper is better than most, imo, because we also bring a pretty good version of "team" mentality to the table, historically.

I really want to say Chad Clifton, but reasonability factors in.

So I'm going to say Brad Jones.

First, all I’m saying is I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility. This isn't advocating for Ryan Grant by the way, which is unrealistic. Frankly, I'm not going to lose sleep if he makes it.

Still your response proves my point. If he gets cut, it's going to surprise some people, and I'm guessing you're among them. I'm underwhelmed by Lang. He is living off of his 09 success, which was propped up because of the poor play of Allen Barbre that year.

Lang benefited from a lack of depth and injuries. They had no other choice than to put him in that position. If they were high on him, they didn't have to draft Derek Sherrod. I think they did like him, but he took a step back last year. This is undeniable in my opinion, though I do think they finally got it right by letting him focus on guard.

Don't sleep on Dominquez for the record. I think he'll make the roster. I agree EDS is a stretch, but let's say the Packers keep nine OL. That leaves the final spot down to Lang and Schlauderaff, who was a draft pick. Would Thompson try to get Schlaunderaff on the practice squad? Probably, but let's see it play out first.

Porky nailed my thoughts on Lang.. personally.. it is way to early to say on anyone.. just it could be a way for Lang to not make the roster. He has been here.. it is time to produce.. even though I think he is very talented I could see a way that he doesn't make it. Not probable but I think a Howard Green has a better chance of sticking than Lang.

Now onto Grant.. I think he is almost a lock, but his salary and absence last season could be tempting if others really step up. Now I think realistically, that Grant and Starks split the majority of the carries this season.. but if the Packers feel they have 3 good other options, that cap money may be tempting to re-up other core players.. or more of them.

Just thinking outside the box to foster discussion.. as like other threads of its ilk, it is too early to give anything other than theory to generate thought. Thought that was the point of these type of thread in general.. since we haven't seen jack on the field yet.

All reports I've seen have Lang playing at a high level. I have no idea why anyone is saying he might not make the team.
