Following is a position-by-position look at the Packers’ roster at the conclusion of their offseason workout and practice sessions, six weeks before the start of training camp.



We may be "thin" at RB, but imho we're better off there than we've been in a long time. LOL. This roster has so much talent that having only THREE guys who can get it done seems THIN. Actually, I'll say FOUR. Because Kuhn has shown he can get it done. Dude's not fast but he can juke guys and cut upfield. He's slow like Paul Ott Carruth, but Carruth never had moves like that.

THANK YOU TED THOMPSON!

At TE: This could be the year Crabtree doesn't make it. They could stash Quarless on PUP and good ol' "Tom Clark" could go the way of Spencer Havner. This will make room for the extra WR. Gurley/Borel/Smithson.

Third-year pro Mike Neal looked to be moving well and in good shape after his lost 2011 season, when a cartilage injury in his knee early in camp rendered him a nonentity the rest of the year.



Interesting dish on Woody:

There are two open cornerback positions now that Charles Woodson appears set to move to safety in the base defense — Woodson will remain a slot cornerback in the nickel and dime, which the Packers probably will play on about 80 percent of their defensive snaps.



Looks like they've moved Bush back into the interior. LOL. He's better there, backing up Woody than he would be on the outside. Or should I say less terrible. I bet Heyward beats him out on the depth chart though.

I like Bush as a gunner, and he can blitz from the slot position, but in coverage he's brutal. Dude can get in position, but he can't make a play on the ball.

Bush has an interception in a SB win. Let's give the guy some cred.

As for RB, we're fine. I'm hoping their blocking is better. I miss having a good 3rd down back who can block and catch. Hopefully one will develop into one.

I think the only real task the running backs have is pass protection and ability to gain 4 yards when needed. I don't think the Packers need the second coming of Walter Payton to be successful.

beast (21h) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.
Zero2Cool (23h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander
Zero2Cool (23h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.
dfosterf (23h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc
dfosterf (23h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up
Zero2Cool (23h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me
Zero2Cool (23h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷
Zero2Cool (23h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before
dfosterf (23h) : Hats off to the Beast
dfosterf (23h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season
beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games
Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.
Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!
Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.
Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest
beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.
beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.
Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.
Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo
Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision
beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it
Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue
beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉
beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan
beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan
Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while
Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."
Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?
beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*
beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes
go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast
beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha
go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota
beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th
beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?
beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead
beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18
Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?
beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed
beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!
beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over
packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor
Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
