Need to be at 75 players by Tuesday. Needs to be at 53 by Saturday 9/4.

WR Shawn Gore was cut earlier today which is no real surprise.

Bedard made a good point about this: these cuts are all about trimming down at the healthier positions in camp to keep bodies for the final pre-season game, especially at those positions hurt by injury.

I guess the only thing I am interested in is whether or not we cut a punter in the first round of cuts after Masthay's strong performance.

MM said the punter battle is closer if you count the work each guy has done in practice. 2 punts in a preaseason game is not going to carry a lot of weight in the decision. For him anyway. The fans will make their minds up at the whim of a hat.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

I say screw having a punter, keep an extra TE or WR instead. Just squib the punt kicks out of bounds.

Given that Masthay got a few kickoffs I think he's got it locked up.

But they'll let them both practice, but we should be seeing our starting punter play the entire 4th preseason game.

WR is pretty strong so I expect another one of them to be cut for the 75 roster.

The determining factor is if Bryan is holding in that game. They are alternating games and it is his turn to hold for FGs. If Masthay is holding he is in. If Bryan is holding, it either isn't decided or he is in.

Yeah looks like you're right, they'll let both compete all the way through. Although the way in which the article is written can be a tad confusing.

Watch out for sneaky cuts down to 75 on Tuesday. Last year the Packers cut DeShawn Wynn in the first round only to bring him back for the PS. Afterwards Ted Thompson said they did it to get him through waivers as most team ditch their garbage in the first cuts.

If we cut Quinn Porter now, we could probably sneak him into the PS.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
