Returning from Injury· Page 3

With the OL, I imagine they dress 8, so even if the three injured players are able to return, they should have all the guys who have been starting for most of the season. Meyers or Bahktari being back doesn't bump Patrick or Nijman off the active roster, it bumps a practice squad guy like Braden. Plus, if Bahktari or someone else is rusty and getting beat, they can put in the backup with the confidence that those guys have the experience and ability to perform at an adequate level. Additionally, Turner hasn't been out that long, so I wouldn't expect a big drop-off in production from him unless he's not healthy enough to play. In any case, it's a good problem to have.

I know there is something to be said for sticking with the same group of guys on the OL, but they largely haven't done that through the season with so many injuries, so I don't think cohesion is as much of a factor as it would be most years. Getting the best group of guys in there is more important, and I trust LeFeur and Stenavich to figure that out.

I believe it's up to 48 now, assuming 8 of them are OL... so you're only not dressing 5 players (seriously, why not just allow all 53?).

When have the Packers brought stars back for the post season? This seems like never happens...

I say let the best players play... and for OLBer, that's easy to get a rotation in place.

OL and CB might be a bit harder, but there is only Alexander, and in theory he can play any of the CB roles as long as his shoulders holds up (and Sullivan was injured in the Lions game).

The main question is the OL. Which Newman has played the most snaps, but he's also struggled the most, I think I'd rather have Myers over Newman, and that's what the started with the Lions. And then it's Bakhtiari or Nijman, if healthy, Bakhtiari is better, sorry Nijman. Also there is the other side with Turner or Kelly, Kelly has played better than I would.of thought, but Turner played most of the season.

Mucky Tundra (14h) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Zero2Cool (14h) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (14h) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (14h) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (15h) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (15h) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (15h) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (15h) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (16h) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (17h) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : saw the tweet, he meant the city

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : Was that for the team or the city?

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Agree

dfosterf (26-Apr) : Great idea imo

dfosterf (26-Apr) : 1st round to 7 minutes with one extension

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 7 minutes between picks in the 2nd round

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : Sorry to bitch, but the headline writers in that section absolutely mislead, or don't know how to read. It is maddening

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : No thanks. Not a dependable guy to be in the right place and run the right route. Dumb as a box of rocks.

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : Losing 2nd round pick for a one year rental, not ideal. Especially a headcase.

dfosterf (25-Apr) : No.Absolutely not

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : NO NO NO NO NO NO!!1 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
