Looking At The Depth At Linebacker

I've written a little bit about the Green Bay Packers depth at inside linebacker and noted that they're isn't much NFL experience behind starters A.J. Hawk and Desmond Bishop. GM Ted Thompson told Mike Vandermause that "he isn't concerned" about it.

There are currently 15 linebackers listed on their roster. They'll probably keep 8 to 10 active, and at least one more on the practice squad. The starters are familiar to everyone here, with Frank Zombo and Erik Walden likely battling for the open outside linebacker spot, but other linebackers are a collection of late round draft choices and undrafted free agents. I'd be shocked if Brad Jones didn't keep his roster spot, but otherwise there are no obvious keepers among the other nine linebackers.

I am glad So'oto and Elmore are doing well. That said it will take more than a few good plays to make the team.

I was interested in So'oto as soon as I looked him up when GB was signing their UDFAs. The guy has some insane measurables and had good production in college. Whether he even makes the team or not I at least hope someone steps up at OLB and pulls ahead of the pack. A consistent rush from that LB opposite Matthews could really take this defense to another level which is scary considering how good it was already.

Anyone hearing anything good about the back-up ILBers other than the draft pick Smith?

I'm haven't... it's making me think they still might move Jones over to ILB and count him there and keep So'oto and/or Elmore as the 4th and/or 5th OLBers.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
