This really sucks. It made absolutely no sense to me why he was out there. Why not put Tramon Williams on the 3-4th string punt coverage team while they're at it. Maybe even Woodson and Mathews. This was really a coaching fail. Late in the first preseason game, there was absolutely no reason the Packer's third, at worst, and most likely second best CB should have been a gunner. Was there ever an explanation of this? Not that I would buy into it anyway. He shouldn't have been out there at that point, and that's not hindsight.

The worst thing we could do right now with House is rush him back out of necessity. Just play Shields and pray he learned how to tackle a little bit in the off season. When Bush is on the field, I know big plays are about to happen; but since he picked Roethlisberger in the Super Bowl, he forever sheds the red headed step child stigma in my book.

How dare they want to see what their rookie can do

Keeping the starting CBs is MUCH more important, in my opinion. I'm not a coach though, what do I know. I have no doubt they wish he wouldn't have been out there now either.

I don't know the punt return gunner part, but Davon House absolutely should have been on the field covering WR's because he needs the experience. You don't get better by sitting on the bench. Regardless, House has been over hyped. This wasn't Tramon Williams people, relax.

Not a durable guy it sounds like. Shame. Football is a tough game. Hope he can work his way back into the starting line up eventually. For now I suppose Haywood has to step up while Shields deals with his elbow injury.

The saving grace of this defense is going to be the pass rush. If we Worthy and Perry can't add to it, we're going to be sucking ass.

We'll go 14-2, then lose the first game of the Playoffs at home.

By all measures, House is currently ahead of Bush, Heyward, and Shields. The decision to line him up as a gunner in the second half of an exhibition game was an error. Somebody screwed up. With that said, this creates an opportunity for Shields, Heyward, and Bush. One of them (if not two) needs to seize on this.

dfosterf (3h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (3h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (4h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (4h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (4h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (4h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (4h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (4h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (4h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (4h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (4h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (5h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (5h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (5h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (5h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (7h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (7h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (7h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (23h) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh
