Remember, guys, Ted Thompson promised this kid that if he'd agree to sign with us after the draft, we wouldn't draft a running back. Thompson must have seen something pretty good in him to make a deal like that. I think Sutton is justifying Thompson's confidence to this point.

Honestly i could see one of the RBs being put on PUP for the first 6 weeks(wynn, lumpkin, jackson have all been hurt) which makes it really a battle to stay healthy, and then probably a 4 way battle for the final 3 spots.

I think it is going to be extremely interesting to see how this roster numbers play out around three positions, RB, FB and TE. If I had to wager, I am thinking that the Packers might be contemplating keeping 2 TE's and an extra FB or RB.. with a couple of young TE's on the roster that might be able to be held onto via the practice squad.

Just a feeling... that they want to hold onto Wynn but aren't confident in his ability to be available enough to not have another RB on the roster. And with Mike McCarthy affection to use that double FB set, I can see some consideration to keeping 3 FB's and 2 TE's... should provide some dramatics late into the cut downs.

So what would be the normal amount of FB RB TEs? 2 3 3? and if they choose something different they might do 3 3 2?

They are using alot of guys as ST guys this season also ie dual roles it seems.
