So is this the year Poppinga finally gets cut? How many linebackers are we keeping?

OLB: Mathews, Jones, Zombo
ILB: Barnett, Hawk, Chillar, Bishop

Obizor vs Poppinga for the last spot?

If that's the case, Poppinga wins easily. But if they only keep seven, Poppinga could be in trouble. I think he'll stick, though, because he's had a decent camp.

One last thing, if he makes the final roster, I hope they change his numbers. 47 is no LB number. 58 is still available. For an OLB, numbers in the 90s are pretty cool. We still have 97 and 99 open.

Technically Chillar won't be 'starting' at ILB because Barnett and Hawk have the inside linebacker spots. However Chillar plays when we're in nickel (which we do a lot) so he'll get plenty of snaps.

Zombo doesn't really come into competition with Bishop (who is the #4 ILB). Zombo is competing with Jones and Poppinga at OLB.

Technically Hawk is injured and there for Chillar did get the starting role at ILB.

Zombo and is competing against Bishop where it comes to playing time as Chillar can and does play both OLB and ILB. Bishop was running with the 1s with Hawk hurt and Chillar moved over to OLB. But Bishop then got put back on #2 when Zombo got reps with the #1. So they are competing for reps. If you don't believe ask Barbre.... Newhouse took over #2 LT reps from Barbre.

Yeah Poppinga > Obizor. If they go with 7 Poppinga, Bishop and Zombo will all be fighting it out for the last two spots. Zombo probably sticks because sticks because he's young and has potential... Poppinga is older and Bishop is unhappy and probably won't resign with the Packers if he can help it, so that would be an interesting call to make.

Maybe trade Bishop for a draft pick? Or just cut Poppinga?
I think I'd go with the happy player and the draft pick if they went with 7 but I think they'll go with 8 like normal.

i hope he keeps 47, i like it as a 3-4 OLB number, like Matthews at USC.

Anyone have any interest in bringing in Ayodele? Guy is unbelievably reliable and has a lot of experience in the middle of the 3-4 with Dal, Jax, and Denver. Could be good depth to say the least, only downfall I see is possibly stunting one of the younger guys growth, but if were saving spots for guys to leave next year (Bishop), or vets that have already hit their ceiling (Pop), then why not?

We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.

I don't know much about Akin Ayodele but if he's unbelievably reliable then why did he just get cut by the Broncos? Also how is he on STs?

IF Bishop is happy and is planing to leave ASAP like as it sounds like he might be then I wouldn't be against trading him for a draft pick (they have said people have called in interested in Bishop) and bring in a Vet or bring a guy with potential or save a roster spot go with 7 LBers and keep an extra guy else where.

Hawk is either going to be extended or released next offseason. Bishop may end up starting next year, so I'm not so sure now is the time to move him.

I seriously doubt we go with 7 backers, even with Havner able to fill in at ILB in a pinch. Most of our starters are already injured to some degree and OLB is crucial to the 3-4.

Problem is we're thin there so the question is can we find someone better on waivers. Apparently Poppinga has had a good camp but showed little to no pass rush ability last season.

Thankfully the Chillar at OLB experiment has been shelved for the time being. He showed he's not got the size to beat 300 lb starting calibre offensive tackles on a regular basis. He was only moved there because both Jones and Matthews were injured and we needed somebody to man the position and we're deep at ILB.

I don't like all of this talk about Hawk leaving. I don't get why so many of you dislike him...He's one of my favorite LBers.

Plus, Ted Thompson drafted him at #5, and he hasn't been a bust, so I don't see him leaving.

I thought there was a chance the Packers could go with 7 until Zombo stepped up. I now doubt they will go with 7 LBers unless they decide to trade Bishop as he's in their last year and seemly unhappy with the Packers. I don't think they want to but if he's demanding to get out and/or get a good offer they might.

Also your mistaken... Matthews wasn't hurt when they moved Chillar to OLB and that's not the only reason they moved Chillar to OLB. Chillar has played some OLB in the 3-4 before when he was with the Rams. They played mostly 4-3 with the Rams but the Defensive Coordinator (forget his name but I think he's now the DC in DC (with the Redskins) was slowly trying to move the team to the 3-4 and he was VERY trigger happy with blitzes and Chillar because a pretty good blitzer and Chillar was the blitzing LB the Packers had during his first year with the Packers, he didn't let blockers get their hands on him. That's why he was moved to OLB because he had a chance to be a good blitzer and I think Chillar could still practice at both ILB and OLB.

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe
