The Packers will promote rookie cornerback Herb Waters from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's NFC wildcard game vs. the Giants. The Packers lost three cornerbacks to injury in last week's win over the Lions. Quentin Rollins was taken to the hospital due to a neck injury, and though he's back with...

I'm constantly going to be thinking John Waters when I see his jersey/announcers say Waters.

Another one to go along with Gunter!

Our DB coach is damn good. I don't think anyone was debating otherwise though.

Dorleant played more than the average life of a GB cornerback that is about 0.4 quarters.

Herb is 6' and ran a 4.4. Long arms.

Let's just hope he's ready.

I just wonder if some of the off coverage we've been seeing with those two has to do with injuries. Randall had a shoulder issue the past couple weeks, so I can see why he might shy away from engaging in bump in run some times (not an excuse, but a possible reason), but not sure why Rollins is often so far off the receiver that he doesn't touch them until they're 20 yards down the field with the ball in hand.

Not sure if it's scheme or individual technique that's the cause but it's maddening. Hoping this young kid has some technique going, because I think we're gonna have to rough these wideouts up at the line and disrupt the timing to win. Not sure playing off and softening up the middle is gonna work here.

Remember we've got guys. We've got Hyde, Bryce, Marwan Evans, Hawkins. The starters will be Gunter and presumably Randall, with Hyde at slot.

That said, I'm interested to see what Waters looks like. Shields was pretty raw too.

Eli Manning will be salivating if Waters makes it into the game.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : 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

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 (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.
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.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
