I've seen Howard Green mentioned a few times here, you guys realize he's not currently on the Packers roster right? With the FA signings, draft picks and UDFAs I'm not sure how likely it is that Green will re-sign.

Raji
Picket
Worthy
Hargrove
Muir
Wynn
Wilson
Guy
Neal
Jones
Daniels
Colling(UDFA)
Vanderlin(UDFA, though maybe an OLB prospect?)

That's 12-13 players for 6-7 spots.

I don't think it was an accident that 2011 was one of his worse years performance wise especially when you factor in that he was on the field for all 16 games for the only time in his career. He preseason/lockout workout consisted of mowing his yard. Even if he has 40 acres of yard he should have been in the gym doing some kind of weight training as well. He just doesn't seem to have the heart to make the consistent effort needed to play in the NFL.

That said, the players currently on the roster have me excited. I haven't seen this much depth and potential at the position in a while.

Two starters in Raji, Picket
Two potential starters or at worst solid rotational players in Worthy, Hargrove
A few guys who are solid depth players, guys you would be happy to have as the #5-7 DL but not starting like Muir, Wynn and Wilson
And a handful of unknown players, one or two of which could turn out to be a gem.

My depth chart as of today would probably look like:

1. Raji
2. Picket
3. Worthy
4. Hargove
5. Daniels
6. Best of Wynn/Wilson/Muir
7. A wildcard like Guy or one of the UDFAs(if they keep 7)

I'm hope they have enough talent on the Dline this year to cut Neal outright, too many injuries and now the steroids thing or whatever it was, cut him loose and give the roster spot to someone who's going to show up and play.

With Hargrove out for 8 games, it is hard to count him in the rotation.

Neal's days are not numbered. He just has less time to prove himself. Because numbered would imply on his way out the door no matter what. He has only a short window of opportunity to prove that he can be productive, healthy and out of trouble. Because his first 2 were a waste and he is starting this one behind 4 games.

Neals days are not any more numbered than any one else's. Everyone has to prove their worth every year. If they can't do the job, they will get replaced in preseason with someone who can do the job.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Yeah, Green is out. Not sure what I was thinking there, other than nostalgia... They gave his number #95 away to Hargrove. Due to the nature of the suspension, that might be too long for GB to wait on Hargrove.

Man, they can't GIVE this #95 away!

Aaron Rodgers injuries are overblown. Keep in mind, he played an entire 2nd half of football against the Patriots with a broken bone in his foot. The second time he landed on IR the coaches AND Rodgers both said he could have played IF he was the starter the next week.

I'm down with tossing in the towel on Mike Neal, not because of his injuries in his brief (entering 3rd year) career, is the suspension. I'm down with three years before saying CUT TIES. But once you start failing the tinkle tests... I lose patience quicker, especially if you can't finish the season and when you're on the field make no impact.

Cullen Jenkins age and recent injury history surely encouraged the Packers to continue doing business as normal. Not over paying and waiting until the market was set before making an offer.

Comparing Neal to Rodgers and Jenkins is pretty silly.

Martha Careful (2h) : 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.
beast (3h) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (19h) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (20h) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (22h) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (23h) : 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) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
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.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though
TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes
Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
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.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
