That would be interesting... I'm having enough trouble trying to guess who the back-up TEs for the Packers 53 roster will be... Bostick will make that even toughter.

I thinking

Finley = starter
Mulligan = blocking
Taylor = ST

and maybe one more...

But
Quarless hasn't been able to stay healthy lately.
Williams has all the tools but hasn't been able to put them together.
Bostick is basically a large raw WR who struggles to block (as a TE, as a WR he might be a good blocker, IDK)
And some other interesting guys...

Or would they go with 3 or 5 TEs? Mike McCarthy has said he likes TE and LB for STs.

He is our only other TE Receiving Threat besides Finley. I'm not gonna get on him for those drops last week, they were both in heavy coverage. He's actually not a horrible blocker. He made a beautiful diving catch last week too. I think they give him another chance, why not right?

The 4th TE(I only think they'll only keep 4) will come down to Quarless, Taylor, and Bostick. I have a feeling it's going to be Quarless. Despite the injuries, I think they give him one last chance, I think if he recovers next week and plays next week, he makes the team.

While you might give Williams a pass for his drops, I don't... and I think I read he lead the Packers in drop rate last year, so it's something he needs to improve on.

You're right Williams blocking isn't bad, but nether is Qualress or Taylor blocking and Miulligan is the #1 blocker right now.

When healthy Quarless has been as good at better than Williams as a receiving treat and Bostick is a large WR.

And then Taylor seems to be very good on STs.

They all got their weakness... one or two of them need to step up if they want to earn their spot.

I'm not saying Williams is light years ahead of the others but I just don't see any other options. Taylor isn't the greatest Special Teamer ever. He also never plays offense, I want my TEs playing offense. Right now it comes down to Williams and Quarless vs Taylor and Bostick.

I personally think we are going to drop one TE in favor of keeping an extra FB.

Williams is pretty small for the position, I think his value has been that he can play lead-blocker as well, which is why we have only carried 1 FB for a while.

Though he did show some great skills at Arkansas, he is not particularly athletic. That said, I think he is probably safer than the next two..

Taylor hasn't done much of anything

Quarless is coming off a nasty injury

With the top 2 TEs already locked in, I just don't see why we would carry so many TEs when their ST value (and roster spot) could be allocated elsewhere where we are deeper with talent.

(I know I've been banging the drum for this guy)
I think we keep Amosa on as an extra FB and special teamer.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : 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

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

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

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for 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
