The initial 53 man roster is officially set after Tuesday's cuts. There were few surprises from Brian Gutekunst, dealing with a talented Packers roster that is one of the most complete across the league, as evidenced by their tie for the league lead in Pro Bowl selections a season ago. There were only truly a [...]

I think my ranking for the whole groups would be

Top Groups
[list=1]
  • Running back (no weak links)
  • Edge (if all healthy, three top guys, though Z isn't healthy which probably should drop this, but also with more blitz and one gap happy system, I think we're going to see more backfield pressure)
  • Quarterback (Rodgers is elite)
  • Safety (Amos and Savage are pretty darn good, but considering 3 Safeties often get in the field in dime are they ready? Also will Savage finally have his huge step up that he's capable of? Savage has the among the most physical potential of all Safeties in the NFL, but Amos has still been better, as Amos makes so few mistakes and maximums his potential even if it's more limited than others)


  • Upper Groups
  • Wide Receiver (Adams is elite, but is anyone else great? MVS has that potential and if he stopped dropping passes and Rodgers stops being so trigger reluctant MVS could become a superstar. Lazard has limited potential, but the best blocking WR in the NFL fits great in this offense and this offensive system has always had a star TE or large slot WR... the Packers really haven't, while Cobb isn't large, could have do major damage in this system? But we just need to see more of them than we have in preseason, too many questions.
  • Offensive Line (Honestly my disappointment of preseason as none of the OGs really stepped up and claimed those spots, except maybe rookies Myers and Newman, we'll have to see how this new OL does, but they have a lot of upside potential, but are they ready right now? Also while Jenkins is very good in the outside, he hasn't faced the injured Z much and some reports he has struggled with Preston at times, which Preston strength is his length and the Saints have a lot of long armed pass rushers. I think they could be great, but they have too many questions at this point).

  • Lower Groups
  • Tight End (Tonyan makes very little mistakes, but Rodgers still doesn't go his way often unless he's WIDE open, and Lewis is mainly a blocker. Though early reports suggest Tonyan looked like he had taken a clear jump up. This group is solid but we need someone to step up and be more than just solid.
  • Cornerback (Alexander might be elite, King can be great in some situation but other in others. Sullivan is solid and everything else is a bit of a wild card right now.



  • Bottom Groups
  • Defensive line (Look, as a former DT, In love these guys and they don't get the respect they deserve, that being said, if Clark get injured, they very well might be screwed. Lowry, Lancaster and Heflin are solid low ceilings guys who can be very good role players. Keke has had the potential to become a good pass rusher and this new scheme might fit him great. Slaton clearly has movement potential, but usually DTs don't do much as rookies, and he needs to lower his pad level.
  • Specialists (I like our kickers, but the Long Snapper makes me nervous. Also I don't know whom out gunners our, our returner has fumbled at least one in preseason, and ST looked shakey, though a lot of those guys didn't make the final roster)
  • [*] Inside linebacker (They suck... luckily I believe in average less than two of them are on the field at a time and the Packers might have two solid ones at the top, the rest are STers)[/list]

    I think your list is a better representation of the groups than the article. I had some things to do so I didn't sit and come up with my own. If I had I would wanted it to look more like yours. 👍

    I like these big guys on the Dline. Maybe we can stop the run now. Maybe.

    Plus, if they can pressure the QB more, that would help our DBs.

    I think the defensive front is going to look better because we're going to have more run blitzes and one gap play. Of course that opens up a hole if the pressure doesn't get there or the RB is able to get around one of the gaps. But higher risk, going for more reward...

    I think it'll help.. because the defensive front can worry more about just single gap and in theory the DBs won't have to cover as long, but when the offense does make a play, they better make the tackle, because there will be less help to clean up errors as well on the back end, leading to more explosive plays should they miss the tackle or fall down or whatever.
