Would be a pretty boring post game press conference if the coaches didn't answer questions. I don't see what the big deal is. The injury is what it is, it doesn't matter if the coach says he will be fine or if he says his arm fell off, none of it has any bearing on the injury. If you (people in general not you specifically) don't like the letdown of finding out it is more serious than was first let on it's kinda your fault for believing what the coach says in the first place.

I'm glad coaches don't divulge much information for the sole reason of watching whine bags freak out over "OMG they lying to us!" over and over again as if they are owed some kind of response on another persons medical well-being.

Never said it was true... just that Demovsky reported it. I will assume, for the sake of argument, Demo is right. Where does that leave us? With Mike Pennel and Guion who is a stiff.

My guess is we'll turn to the waiver wire when teams make their 1st cuts... better crop on 2nd cuts, but we have to get someone in ASAP...or maybe Ted Thompson is not worried because "he likes the guys he's got".

Maybe, he'll pull the rare act and deal someone like Nick Perry for a NT?

That doesn't mean they can't sign someone after the first cuts and then drop him and sign someone after the second wave but all that does is cut down on the amount of work your current guys get to show what they can do.

That's one reason I never really watch preseason football. Late in the game you have guys on the field who have almost no chance of making the team even if they do make a good play or two. Why not let the guys who probably will make the team get some game reps. Last night Gillet comes to mind. He makes a nice TD catch but it won't win him a roster spot. I understand that when you don't want Nelson and Cobb or even maybe Boykin on the field for injury reasons you may need a throw away guy to line up and take some reps but it doesn't get me excited.

I just don't think many people play themselves onto a roster in a preseason game if they were not close to making it based on camp performance anyway. If they do then Jayrone Elliot will be on the final roster.

Over the last several years injury severity has been greatly underreported initially. It happens all the time in Packerland.

They aren't lying to us... they're just clueless and should remain silent until they actually know something instead of sending out quotes that minimize the situation every single time.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

If you can get out of "forum mode" and into honesty mode did you really think after listening to MM last night on Raji that you would wake to find this news? I surely didn't but I'm always skeptical because of the track record. When someone asked about Raji last night I was going to retort "amputation" because it always seems to go to the worst case scenario in a football sense.

It goes back to the infamous "knee sprain" Mike Neal had in 2011.

Where is all this Boyd fandom coming from?

He looks like "just another fatass" nothing special.

Great, another season-ending injury suffered before they even play the real games. [wallme]

They should consider Pickett for short-yardage situations, but the young players are going to need to step up. I worry about how they'll defend Seattle (and potentially San Francisco in the playoffs), but I think they'll do okay for most of the season.

They play mostly sub packages anyways.

I was really hoping Raji had a ridiculously good year so some team would give him a fat contract next offseason and get us a free 3rd round pick.

Yeah 😞 I was hoping it would help the run d too. Look for a lot of inside runs from Lynch.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (23h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (23h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : 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
