Harris v.s. Moss ...Do not like. Do not want to see. Hopefully this isn't how we match up with Minnesota when Al is back.

I agree with most of you in this thread. Ted Thompson will do nothing.

Zombie: does losing Grant really show how good Grant was or how big the gap is between him and our backups? I'll admit that he's good and definitely an important cog in our offense, but that doesn't mean we couldn't have or shouldn't have upgraded this position on our roster.

The PUP list seems to hold players that we see as a saving grace: Bigby, Harris, and Starks. But how soon will they be ready? Here's what I found on Reserve PUP rules:



I'm not in complete agreement that we should put all our eggs in this basket but when you think about the positions we need help at (CB, S, RB, KR/PR) and the positions of players on the PUP (RB James Starks, CB Harris, S Bigby) it really could happen.

One thing I didn't know about was the 3-week window players have where they don't count against the 53-man roster. It's just a shame that week 6 is also the trading deadline.

Speak for yourself. Please. I am actually one of those who strongly disagrees with the statements you made.

I just started playing Fantasy and Grant was #8 last year.

How good is he? Well, do we agree that our OL is not that good? Grant still gets 4.4 yards a carry and 1200+ yards/year with our OL. That's pretty good. I'd say he's a top 10 RB, which makes at least 22 other teams jealous.

OK, we both agree that we should have upgraded this position on our roster. We're in agreement here.

Where we'll probably disagree is what we'll give up for it. Now that I know the Hawks only got what they got, I'm bummed. Bummed, but not mad at TT. Lynch is a one-year fix and he'll be gone in '11. Plus, let's not forget that Lynch is not exactly "Packer people." He's a trouble maker and is a hair away from getting suspended.

I'm sure Ted Thompson was thinking about this. Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson probably had a talk about it and they also discussed what is a bigger priority - filling our new hole at DB or RB? I'd say it's DB. Mike McCarthy probably thinks the same thing and told Ted Thompson so. Mike McCarthy may see something in Starks where we don't need Lynch.

Or, better yet, we've only begun to see Kuhn. He almost single-handedly stomped on the Lions when they were down on that final drive. Kuhn may be slow, but he's going to get us yards and hurt people doing it.

DB is a bigger problem than RB right now.

Does nothing?

or doesnt sign or go after ones you want?

Cuz I know of at least 5 FA on this team playing or starting now that he signed

And he traded for a pretty damn good back too that recently got injuried

Green Bay needs to worry about Green Bay. They can't get caught up into what other teams are doing. If they take care of business, they'll be fine. If the right type of deal comes across, then look into it. If you find a match, then do it. But don't do something just because Minnesota did something.

Last year, Ted traded up in the draft to get Matthews, and again this year to get Burnett. Blew away all expectations.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ted blows expectations again with a big-name trade.

Perhaps he knows what I know. It's not so much the time is now, but rather, anything we do now won't break the bank, unlike the Vikings.

Which is more likely to happen?

a. My dating Jessica Biel.
b. Ted Thompson trading for Logan Mankins.
c. Neither will ever happen, but its fun to dream. 🙂

You have a pretty severe man crush on Mankins. I have no doubts he'd make our o-line better, but right now the breakdowns are happening at tackle, for the most part. Sitton is solid. People say Colledge is solid (my perception of him is that he's penalty prone and not a good power blocker -- more of a finesse guy. I could totally be wrong).

Tausch and Cliffy are showing their age. Mankins is a guard, right?
