We are sacrificing the TE position.

I've seen Lacy, Lang and the TE babysitting Sherrod because he is such a liability. There's a very nice play against the Jets where Lacy does the job of Sherrod while he stands contemplative.

I really hope to see Adams, R.Rodgers and maybe Janys more involved in the passing game, so far our game plan is as simple as throwing to Jordy and if he is triple covered then doing something with Cobb.

Janis is a WR not a TE, but I would very much like to see him get some game time. 👍

That being said, somebody needs to prove he has the goods to be an offensive threat.

Bostick seems to have the most big play potential/atheltic ability. Should be interesting to see him out running routes when he gets healthy.

Why is Ryan Taylor still around again?

What exactly does he do on special teams? He's no Steve Tasker that's for sure. Feels like keeping him on the team solely for special teams with no room for growth is a luxury at this point. Hell, when they drafted him for the sole purpose of helping on special teams it felt that way.

I don't recall , but does anyone recall The Packers using a two Tight End set other than a jumbo set 10 yds or less from the end zone. I mean as part of a regular offensive plan. :-k

Richard Rodgers is currently listed as the #1 TE. The question is when will a 100% Bulaga return. Sherrod can't wipe his a$$ without help ! This requires a TE to insure that our QB is not getting run over. Given the proper chance, I believe R.Rodgers may be our TE answer. 🤔

I think a lot of the lack of production by Packer TEs has to do with the tendency to use the wideouts the way a lot of teams use TEs - short yardage and goal line - Cobb last week, Nelson other times, etc. Apparently, McCarthy, et al trust them to get open and hold onto the ball more than the TEs, and I can't say I disagree with that.

I don't see Bostick as any great answer. He blocks less than a lot of TEs, and he gets open less than most WRs. As for Richard Rodgers, if he can stand out as a blocker AND catch the ball reliably, maybe. I was touting Quarless in the preseason, but he has been a disappointment too. I'd still like to see Stoneburner get his chance. Barring any of them breaking out, though, I'm fine with maximizing the use of the wideouts. However, I really do wish Janis was included in that.

Fan Shout

packerfanoutwest (4h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (5h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (5h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (5h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (6h) : Who? What?

beast (15h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (19h) : meh

Zero2Cool (23h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (23h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (23h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
