Who's gonna breakout?· Page 2

That would be interesting... I'm having enough trouble trying to guess who the back-up TEs for the Packers 53 roster will be... Bostick will make that even toughter.

I thinking

Finley = starter
Mulligan = blocking
Taylor = ST

and maybe one more...

But
Quarless hasn't been able to stay healthy lately.
Williams has all the tools but hasn't been able to put them together.
Bostick is basically a large raw WR who struggles to block (as a TE, as a WR he might be a good blocker, IDK)
And some other interesting guys...

Or would they go with 3 or 5 TEs? Mike McCarthy has said he likes TE and LB for STs.

He is our only other TE Receiving Threat besides Finley. I'm not gonna get on him for those drops last week, they were both in heavy coverage. He's actually not a horrible blocker. He made a beautiful diving catch last week too. I think they give him another chance, why not right?

The 4th TE(I only think they'll only keep 4) will come down to Quarless, Taylor, and Bostick. I have a feeling it's going to be Quarless. Despite the injuries, I think they give him one last chance, I think if he recovers next week and plays next week, he makes the team.

While you might give Williams a pass for his drops, I don't... and I think I read he lead the Packers in drop rate last year, so it's something he needs to improve on.

You're right Williams blocking isn't bad, but nether is Qualress or Taylor blocking and Miulligan is the #1 blocker right now.

When healthy Quarless has been as good at better than Williams as a receiving treat and Bostick is a large WR.

And then Taylor seems to be very good on STs.

They all got their weakness... one or two of them need to step up if they want to earn their spot.

I'm not saying Williams is light years ahead of the others but I just don't see any other options. Taylor isn't the greatest Special Teamer ever. He also never plays offense, I want my TEs playing offense. Right now it comes down to Williams and Quarless vs Taylor and Bostick.

I personally think we are going to drop one TE in favor of keeping an extra FB.

Williams is pretty small for the position, I think his value has been that he can play lead-blocker as well, which is why we have only carried 1 FB for a while.

Though he did show some great skills at Arkansas, he is not particularly athletic. That said, I think he is probably safer than the next two..

Taylor hasn't done much of anything

Quarless is coming off a nasty injury

With the top 2 TEs already locked in, I just don't see why we would carry so many TEs when their ST value (and roster spot) could be allocated elsewhere where we are deeper with talent.

(I know I've been banging the drum for this guy)
I think we keep Amosa on as an extra FB and special teamer.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.
