I agree with the lineup, except I don't think they will keep Wells as a backup center. They want their backups to be able to play multiple positions. I think Wells either starts, or he is off the team. My money is on the latter, although he is putting up a good fight. If Wells doesn't make it, he'll be replaced by either Preston or one of the younger guys.

The thing is what happens if Spitz is slightly better than Wells at C but Wells is far superior to Preston and the young guys?

Do we cut a potentially starting calibre centre so we can carry an awful backup player, just because he has the ability to be awful at multiple positions?

Can the Packers survive this season with just 9 players?

Tackles - Clifton, Babre, Breno, and Merideth
Guards - Colledge, Sitton, Lang
Centers - Spitz and Wells

I would sure hate to lose a good linebacker and special teams player like Lansannah just to carry piles like Moll and Preston. Stash a couple young guys on the practice squad and let the dead weight go. Brohm's first pick was on Moll. If he can't 2nd and 3rd string, why carry him anymore? Just because he's versatile, doesn't mean it's quality.

9 offensive linemen sounds about right with the way the 53-man is probably going to break down. I've got to think we'll be carrying 9 LBs on the roster which includes Lansanah.

QBs - Rodgers, Flynn, Brohm
RBs - Grant, Jackson, Sutton
FBs - Hall, Johnson
WRs - Driver, Jennings, Jones, Nelson, Allen
TEs - Lee, Finley, Havner

DEs - Raji, Jenkins, Jolly, Wynn
DTs - Pickett, Toribio
LBs - Kampman, Matthews, Thompson, Poppinga, Chillar, Barnett, Hawk, Bishop, Lansanah
CBs - Woodson, Harris, Williams, Lee, Blackmon, Bush
FS - Collins, Rouse
SS - Bigby, Smith

ST - Crosby, Kapinos, Goode

Add the 9 guys with your original post and you've got your 53-man roster right there. The above is just an educated speculation on my part at this point in the preseason and a lot of things could still change.

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.
beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.
Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired
