Too bad there's not a spot on the final 53 for a designated punt blocker. . .

Keep him on the PS in case one of our WR gets hurt this year. Both Driver and Nelson may be gone by next year so it makes since to keep Gurley and West on the PS or IR for a year.

Gurley is a good player and will be for another team. It is unfortunate that there most likely won't be a spot for him on the 53 man roster, but at the same time we really can't complain because the guys in front of him are the reason why. The Packers already have great wide receivers. Wish they could be greedy and just keep them all for that rainy day when an injury happens (knock on wood) but when these guys are placed on the PS, they will be snatched up quickly.

Also, it's not out of the question that Driver stays healthy and sticks around for another year. So the Packers may be outbid for Nelson. It would be nice to have a player like Gurley or West available in case that happens.

If he can REALLY block punts with any sort of consistency at all, I'd keep him. Who was the guy who used to do this in the mid 80s? Gerry Lewis?
I bet all of these WRs stay in our division. Both the Queens and the Bares are hungry for WRs.

Gurley is too good for that team and I hope he doesn't end up on either roster.

Wouldn't they have to go through waivers? I think they would be taken quickly, before someone in our division had a chance.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

dfosterf (21h) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (21h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (22h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (22h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (23h) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (23h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (23h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (23h) : 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!

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) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
