Don't get me started, Thompson and McCarthy are gonna find out that keeping 3 FBs was a luxury we simply couldn't afford.

P.S - What was the point in signing Martin and keeping Bush if they don't actually want to start them because of injury. You certainly get that feeling with Bush. Is a Special Teams player all he's good for? And that's worth taking up a roster spot? If special teams was a one man game then okay.......

Smith was not a mistake to be cut. And the Packers are working out potential Safeties because that's the smart thing to do.

Bush? Seriously? You're going to sit there and try to BS by saying Smith being cut was a mistake and then say we have Bush? Yea not happening, it's early, but not that early to pass that one by me.

To agree with your Smith being cut was a mistake. I'll say if someone was to be cut, it should have been Bush, not Smith. If that's the mistake you're talking about. I'd say right on.



I still can't believe how so many are so high on Anthony Smith who is a freaking BACKUP on the RAMS just because he made a handful of plays in PRESEASON against BACKUPS!

I must have missed something and that's very likely. If everyone says it's true, and I don't, the odds are not in my favor. I'm going to stick with what the staff has said and what others who watched him practice have said instead of believing in the pre season rarity of splendid play making against backups.

And more to why we are working players out. Collins, injury. Bigby, Injury. Rouse, Injury. We often hear injury after any one of those names. It would be inefficient not to be working players out to support the cast.

I think you missed the point..

Bush is a liability as a safety for this team.. but yet he is on this team as a CB/S in the Packers eyes.

Apparently the Packers are concerned with safety play even though they have 3 players on the roster that were kept for this very reason.. being versatile enough to play a number of positions including safety.

I contend it was a mistake to cut a player (Smith) that might have made a assignment gaff here or there but has several years of experience in this system and most would have more confidence in him verse Bush or Martin at this point.. maybe even Rouse.

There is no denying it.. Smith outplayed all safeties in preseason except maybe Collins.

Can Martin fill that void.. we shall see.. I am not holding my breath on Bush.

Sorry, I can't buy the whole mistake thing. I watched the damn games for crying out loud. I liked the plays smith made, it was exciting, but I'm just not able to pull the wool over my eyes and say he was the second coming of Troy Polamalu. I mean, after all the Steelers did cut him.
