Now, we start seeing why Taysom didn't make it. Team felt desperation at OL and kept guys who have no business being on an NFL roster.

But I agree, I don't think McCray earned a spot... but he might be the only healthy back-up Center they got right now.... he might get released once Barclay or Patrick gets healthy.

This might be the most draft picks Ted has ever cut. Dupre, Yancey and Amichia makes 3.

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."

(1) Ted make be talking slower but his mind is as sharp as a tack!

He pays attention; he saw Kaaya, Osweiler and Moore cut and that NE was shopping Brissett, and that Cleveland is gonna let at least one more "good" QB go. No one is going to put 27 YO Hill on their 53, if they do it'll go EXACTLY like Callhan's trips to NO and Clev. Then Hill will be back unless he's a dumbass.

This is why he let all 4 WR go, it's not a measure of whether they deserved a roster spot, it's just that Pipkins and Patrick had a better chance of being snagged on someone's 53.

McCaffery has a better chance to contribute than the last 3 or 4 guys that made the 53; but the chance of a team putting him on their 53 is close to ZERO, so he goes on PS, if we have injuries he'll be in GB.

(2) McCrary has no business on 53. But, Ted is not playing a fantasy game, If Barclay and Patrick cant go, who plays C if Linsley goes down week 1?!?! Right now, McCrary is his best option at this time, correct?

(3) But, the 53 can change...let me repeat the 53 can change. If I'm right about McCrary there is a 100% guarantee Ted will sign Greco, Zuttah, Boone, Schofield [he has to clear waivers] or another I'm not aware of or familier with. Linsley and Greco are buddies, they went to same High School. He's the guy they'll sign, if he'll come to GB.

Some of these guys getting cut like Gilbert and Hill and some of the WR and DBs were fun to watch at times but they are all long shots to even have an average NFL career so meh. Not gonna worry too much about who gets claimed or signs on another teams PS. Odds are anyone who got cut because we needed to keep 2 bad OL will never amount to anything in the NFL anyways.

dfosterf (4h) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (4h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (4h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (4h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (5h) : In your face, HBO!

Mucky Tundra (5h) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

dfosterf (5h) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (5h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (6h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (6h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (8h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (8h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (9h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Malik Willis might be someone Jets come after

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
