Are our PUP guys still a bit further away then expected from playing? All 3 of our roster sports that opened up were taken by free agent/waiver claim LBs.

Good to see Ted Thompson bringing in some new blood for MM to kick the tyres.

I expect these guys (Willhelm and Walden especially) will have their greatest contribution on special teams.

I wouldnt be surprised to see one of the new guys or Francois cut to make room for one of the PUP players.

But while they are able to train and not count on the 53 it makes sense to use the time to get them ready while also checking out other players.

I just hope this means Jenkins and Pickett aren't as badly hurt as once feared. We can't go into the Jets game with Raji, Wynn and Wilson our only linemen.

I wouldn't be surprised if we're kicking the tires on these guys and then cut one Friday in favor of Bigby or Harris.

Because magic football player land is closed for the season. I'd rather use 2 DL and five linebackers that can play, than put dog shit on the DL just cause the person weight 320.

The Jets did just waive Howard Green, so that might've been a decent player to claim for a team that has no one left.

But in all honesty, I think people are underestimating how hard we're getting hit at the LB position, as well. Mainly because it just isn't that obvious in the games themselves.

At ILB, we were down to Hawk, Bishop, Chillar, Francois and Simpkins. I don't know what Chillar's status is right now, but I do know that, with young guys Bishop and Francois and Chillar not completely healthy, it's a good thing to add a veteran like Wilhelm. Which we did.

At OLB, with Jones now out, as well, we're down to Matthews and Zombo. That's it. We really had no other choice but to get two OLBs from somewhere.

I agree with your sentiment. It happens with free agency when fans want Ted Thompson to sign players of a certain position or calibre who dont exist.

However the Jets just released their backup NT Howard Green. There aren't many guys that can play NT in the NFL.

Packers Claim NT Green Off Waivers, Place LB Jones On Injured Reserve

The Green Bay Packers have claimed NT Howard Green off waivers from the N.Y. Jets and placed LB Brad Jones on injured reserve. The transactions were announced Wednesday by Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson.

Green, a 6-foot-2, 340-pound sixth-year player out of Louisiana State, has played in 51 career games with 12 starts. He entered the NFL as a sixth-round draft choice (190th overall) by Houston in 2002, and went on to play in one game for Baltimore in 2002, 18 games with New Orleans from 2003-04, 18 games with Seattle from 2007-08, and 14 games with the Jets over the past two years, including two contests this season. All 12 of Greens career starts came with New Orleans in 2004. He will wear No. 95.

Jones sustained a shoulder injury this past Sunday vs. Minnesota. He had played in six games with five starts this season.

Good call!

I hope he can take some of the snaps off of Raji so he can stay fresh all season. We finally have a legit back-up NT instead of having to put Pickett there if Raji got injured.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.
