Mike McCarthy wants his running backs to be all down backs and doesn't want specialists. He cited his reasoning for his preference being is when using the same running back you have more options for the defense to consider and also it eliminates the need for substituting which when done gives the defense a slight break. It also slows down the no-huddle, which is precisely what he does not want.

That being said, we've had a 3rd down back for quite a few years now and he goes by the name of John Kuhn.

MM wants all down backs so if they are all all down backs why not keep the best one on the field the vast majority of the time with a few spells by the second best. #3, be ready if 1 or 2 go down. I kind of agree with Mike, if bringing in player C sorta tips your hand, or limits your options, is it really that good of an idea.

I asked MR the other day who he thought had the best chance to make it as an UDFA.

Glad to see my guy Larry Pinkard getting it done, albeit, in practice. Give this guy a shot with the big boys. Let Janis, Pinkard, and 88 cent play with 12. Those 3 are an interesting trio.

Michelle Bruton was excited to see Pinkard in the game at NE. Of all the guys nobody heard of a few weeks ago he's the one making the most noise on offense.

Jordy
RC18
DA17

room for 3 more:

88cent is a lock


Room for 1 or 2 more:

Abby, Janis, Pinkard, White

Only one or two of the above are going to make the 53. Which one or two?

Abby has been strangely absent. IR, again? I'll exclude him, for now.

White has no chance at least to me. I'll exclude him.

Uh oh... if only one spot is left who is it going to be? My measurables primadonna Janis or my guy Pink?

Would like to see us keep BOTH...Janis and Pinkard. One or both are either going to make it or end up on the PS, if unclaimed. I really do believe Janis is going to make it because of his rare offerings. Pink is probably going PS, but I might be tempted to keep a 6th in him.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I'm really not gonna count on Abby. He's missed what 3 weeks now from a concussion he suffered by falling on his ass? If he misses the next preseason game I wouldn't be against IR and give him a shot next year but at this point he probably shouldn't be making the roster over a player who is going to be more reliable.

So, we have 3 candidates for 1, maybe 2, spots.

Who do you like?

Janis is 1st for me...Pinkard 2nd...White 3rd.

With a late push, I could swap Pinkard for Janis...I surely could. 😟

Hundley could be better 4 years from now than Aaron is.
