Who do you want on the outside? RC18 or 88 cent?

Now, that we can move on without Jordy, officially, Montgomery has been written about in JSO as our 3rd WR. Does Randall move to the outside where Nelson was, or does he stay in the slot? Montgomery and Cobb's are best suited for the slot...both can't play it.

What do you want? RC18 out of position so the rook can focus where he's comfortable, or do you want your magic slot guy still in the slot, or will he be less magical without Jordy outside and you want him out there?

I think Montgomery would be better outside due to his size but it would be better for him to play where he's most comfortable...but I'd really like to hear from Randall. Does he want to play outside. He was paid well...can he make it out there? I think he can.

So, I want Randall outside and the rook in Randall's spot. Let's see what happens.

Adams or Cobb will be on the outside. I like Montgomery, if that's who you mean, but he's a rookie, so he's gotta go through the growing pains.

Of course it's just a matter of time before Janis takes over the league.

Really, really curious how that's going to take shape. Who goes out there to be the other starting OUTSIDE WR? It's big time stuff even though we move people around...this is a big question that needs answering. I wonder if they'll fool around with it next preseason game?

Well my hope is that they move guys around every now and then based on match ups. The difficult thing about being a WR in this offense is they cross train you so there is a lot to learn, but my hope is that they pick it up as quickly as possible. Ty seems like the brightest bulb in the bunch, so along with his physical nature, I'll be looking for him to step up as the year goes on. Janis is a total wild card for me. While I admire so much about his abilities, he hasn't shown the mental capacity needed to get all the nuances of the position in this offense down. That is a shame, and I hope he improves as his targets increase.

To answer your question I think the two starting outside receivers will be Cobb and Adams, but I want to see them test Pink and Janis out there early. I think Ty starts his playing time in the slot.

Relying on a rookie is not a sound strategy at WR. However, as you noted, 88 is the smartest guy we've got so if we're rolling with someone it's going to be him. Going to be uncharacteristic mistakes. Davante ain't ready not to make them so it could be ugly early.

Shoot, Pinkard is basically in his SR. year of college in this TC and pre-season...Janis is from Saginaw Valley State for crying out loud. Myles White longevity with our program might really give him an advantage to stick.

So much of what we see will be dictated by the performance of our o-line, not just the receivers. The plays we design for the QBs have to be quick hits where the player gets the ball in his hands early to see if he can make a play. My question is who will be the receiver other than Cobb that looks to have the best timing with Rodgers and Scott (assuming he'll be good to play after his concussion treatment). I'll be intrigued to see that.

It's funny. I wish we could put all these backups together and form a super receiver! Still I wonder if we'll scale the offense down in the slightest based on the youth at the position. This is going to be some serious trial by fire. I wouldn't be shocked if we see more 2 TE sets than we have in a while.

We'll see who becomes available on the waiver wire in the coming weeks. I actually think the Packers will bring in someone at this position.

I doubt it will happen, but it would be a great fit.

Sounds like Janis might be the guy opposite Adams with RC18 staying in the slot with 88 cent playing slot if/when Randall is moved around. I guess they aren't going to mess with Randall's success. My question is, now, will he be as successful from the slot without Jordy outside? Probably not.

Someone has to be a stud. Davante, JJ, or 88 cent has to show out. Heck, Larry Pinkard, if you get your chance maybe it can be you?

Really wonder about Abbrederis' chances to make this club and not just because of the injuries. He's a slot guy with Cobb and 88 cent already on the roster. I think he's IR'ed or released and moved to PS. Not sure many NFL teams are going to move him to their active rosters with his injury history.

Starting to really think that 5th spot is White or Pinkard. White has a major advantage of being around for 3 years. That alone probably wins him the spot as we have too many guys already who haven't been here as long as he has. Pinkard goes to PS with Abby.

Cobb, Adams, Janis, 88 cent, White doesn't look or sound like a great WR corps to me. Throw in our TE situation and we aren't very good right now. Maybe, later in year when some of our young guys begin to get it we might be. Going to be interesting early. Sucks we get Seattle so early in year. We're not going to score much against them...that could be one ugly game at Lambeau.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Merry Christmas!

beast (11h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (19h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
