Following is a position-by-position look at the Packers’ roster at the conclusion of their offseason workout and practice sessions, six weeks before the start of training camp.



We may be "thin" at RB, but imho we're better off there than we've been in a long time. LOL. This roster has so much talent that having only THREE guys who can get it done seems THIN. Actually, I'll say FOUR. Because Kuhn has shown he can get it done. Dude's not fast but he can juke guys and cut upfield. He's slow like Paul Ott Carruth, but Carruth never had moves like that.

THANK YOU TED THOMPSON!

At TE: This could be the year Crabtree doesn't make it. They could stash Quarless on PUP and good ol' "Tom Clark" could go the way of Spencer Havner. This will make room for the extra WR. Gurley/Borel/Smithson.

Third-year pro Mike Neal looked to be moving well and in good shape after his lost 2011 season, when a cartilage injury in his knee early in camp rendered him a nonentity the rest of the year.



Interesting dish on Woody:

There are two open cornerback positions now that Charles Woodson appears set to move to safety in the base defense — Woodson will remain a slot cornerback in the nickel and dime, which the Packers probably will play on about 80 percent of their defensive snaps.



Looks like they've moved Bush back into the interior. LOL. He's better there, backing up Woody than he would be on the outside. Or should I say less terrible. I bet Heyward beats him out on the depth chart though.

I like Bush as a gunner, and he can blitz from the slot position, but in coverage he's brutal. Dude can get in position, but he can't make a play on the ball.

Bush has an interception in a SB win. Let's give the guy some cred.

As for RB, we're fine. I'm hoping their blocking is better. I miss having a good 3rd down back who can block and catch. Hopefully one will develop into one.

I think the only real task the running backs have is pass protection and ability to gain 4 yards when needed. I don't think the Packers need the second coming of Walter Payton to be successful.

Zero2Cool (14h) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line
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.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
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) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

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."

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.”

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.
