Meredith was too raw to stick onto the 53 man roster. If we called him up, he wouldn't be as ready as some of the other guys like Giacomini or Lang. He has great potential, sure, but he wouldn't be ready to fill in for Clifton.

I wouldn't have had a problem losing either Jackson or Bigby, not sold on either of them, but neither of those moves would have freed up a roster spot. If we let Bigby go, we would have had to keep Smith or another S, and the same for Jackson, we would have had to keep Sutton or Lumpkin. So we would still be in the same predicament with Meredith.

The only players that I think could have been cut for Meredith would have been Bush, or either Kuhn or Hall. We have 3 FB, so I would consider 1 expendable, and without Bush we still have 5 CB, and 4 S.

To me that is all to much to lose for a player that is even 2nd in the depth of project players behind Lang. Would love if he would have stayed on the PS all season, but I don't see any way that he would make the field this year, where these other would or have.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I don't think this is a big deal for this season because Meredith is still raw and not ready, but he could have been a future starter on this team and will probably be in Buffalo or for someone else. It's disappointing.

Not keeping Meredith in favor of the center Smith was baffling to me.

Why the Packers didn't PUP Brandon Jackson and keep Sutton was another mistake I felt the Packers made.

The end result is GB loss both players.

We couldnt PUP Jackson unless he started training camp on the PUP list. And as he wasn't injured then that wasnt possible.

Dane Randolph---

This the expected replacement. A guy we had and dropped.

He's about the same size height and weight as Meredith. I didn't like the Meredith pick anyway, at least compared to who I did want, and I still think I was correct.

He didn't show shit in camp. I'm over it. I have heard 'tude trouble, too.

I still cannot believe we left Duke Robinson on the table at this exact moment in the draft. Outland trophy finalist, considered by most/all as the best guard in the draft, and we could have had him right then and there, or worse (imo) could have had both. This would be my 608th reference to Duke Robinson, after I had promised not to mention him anymore, but that was before we lost Meredith. Duke is 6-5 330 lbs btw--- The kind of guard I want. Instead, we get 6-5 300lb. tackles.

Yes I remember.. I still like the Meredith pick though.. well not so much now that we lost him but he had the tools in my book.

But I would have been fine with the Robinson pick as well..

Time for my boy Lang to step up his game.. ASAP.

beast (8h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (8h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (18h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (18h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (20h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (21h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (21h) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22h) : Thank you

wpr (22h) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22h) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22h) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (23h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (23h) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (23h) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (23h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (23h) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.
