What the hell happened to Swain? Did he trip delivering water to the coaches?

Never liked the Swain move. Ruvell would at least had contributed to the offense.

I second the Eddie Drummond nomination. Someone call up Az Hakim see if he's available :P

EDIT: Jake Allen is on the practice squad. We also have Lumpkin. Either of these two handle the KR duties?

Losing Finley is a huge blow. There is nobody on the Vikings' defense that can matchup with him.

A long shot is better than OUT. I'm hoping Finley plays and that's a bummer about Swain.

Tauscher and Green are cleared to play!!

edit, Shaun Bodiford?
Jerry Porter?
Joey Galloway?
Ike Hilliard?
Dante Hall is out there too, he can return kicks better than Jackson I would think lol

Hope I like what I see.

Dante Hall is so far over the hill that he can't even see it anymore.

Bodiford would be a decent returner, I guess.

Ike Hilliard has had a neck injuy which forced him to retire. He's on the coaching staff of an UFL team right now.

I'd put Jerry Porter and Joey Galloway in the same category as Dante Hall.

If you're just going to sign someone for the return game, Eddie Drummond is still out there. I know, he hasn't been that 2004 Pro Bowl guy since his injury in that same year, but he was still a pretty decent returner.

If you're just going with signing another WR, I'm pretty sure that it'd be Jake Allen. And maybe we'll resign Heckendorf to our PS.

I always liked Bodiford as a returner. North south guy. Gets an angle on the coverage units.

After thinking about it, Finley being out might hurt us more than we think this game. TEs have been killing the Vikes. Especially TEs like Vernon Davis and Jermichael Finley.

Donald Lee is an average TE, but nothing more than that. Not a weapon by any means. We could've used Finley so well in this game.

Lee can be a great weapon in the passing game, if he hangs onto the ball. Played sloppy against the Browns. Not much of a blocker though.
Havner ran a 4.7 40 at the combine. He's no Finley, but he can jet.

Finley's got a knee sprain.

Since we are dropping names like candy.. For a couple game stretch on the receiving side.. Marvin Harrison. He is aged like some of the above names.

Want one that I think is a real possibility and could help the return game quite rapidly.. Kole Heckendorf. Spent camp here.. late cut and currently on the Lions PS..

Wouldn't mind signing Heck. Dude's legit. I'm thinking Jake Allen, though.

We'll probably get Allen called up.

Jake Allen is a "definite possibility" to be promoted for practice squad. "We'll definitely make an acquisition (at receiver)," McCarthy said.

Would we even be allowed to sign Heckendorf laterally to our practice squad? If we wanted to acquire him, wouldn't we have to sign him to the 53-man roster?

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : *years

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea

dfosterf (25-Jul) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : 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

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Packers introduce 1923-inspired classic uniform, leather-look helmet

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Happy to see site feels more snappy snappy

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) : It's funny the PA complained about the locker room. It wasn't that long ago it was top shelf. Things change in a hurry.

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