I don't know that a 3rd string CB is trying mostly to just not get beat over the top. He may want to make a statement and cover well or even go for an interception. Maybe even Boykin made a hell of a move. Those are other possibilities besides yours. The point remains I, and I believe you also, would like to see what he could do against the 1's.

Otis Merrill and Nic Cooper have a shot. Otherwise I'd PS them.

The guy trying to covering Boykins in the Browns game when he made those two big plays close to back to back was playing very loose coverage and was going back-wards mostly even when he cut inward... that's a CB that's playing scared and playing to not get burned.

That being said he played against a different CB in the Chargers game... but yes I'd like to see him go against a better CB. Doesn't have to be 1st string but someone that I think would make a roster at the end of training camp.

And don't get me wrong Boykins is a very good route runner. Which is why he's schooling the CBs that aren't good against crisp routes. But I want to see more overall raw potential from him to grow into.

Dezman Moses makes the team.
Boykin has an outside chance.
Tyler is on the PS.

Moses is now a lock IMO.. kid just plays well.

After that.. hard saying.

I thought it interesting the Levine was playing first with the ones last night.. then let almost everyone thereafter rotate in.

OLB Moses makes the 53 man roster.

S Richardson, RB Tyler, FB Cooper, WR Boykins, WR Moss and maybe one of the OL and CB get a look at the practice squad. Probably wouldn't keep a FB but I liked FB Cooper run and he was a RB in college... I wouldn't mind making him a FB/RB on the practice squad.

I think Moses makes it as well.
This kid looks like he could be an up and comer.

LB Dezman Moses and WR Jarrett Boykin are my choices to make the final 53.

The Boykin kid looks to have bounced Borel out of GB... at least from my perspective. Who knows, maybe they trade a couple of our WRs prior to cutting to 53? It would be nice if Ted could swing that.

Zero2Cool (6h) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

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

beast (13h) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (13h) : 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

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

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Thanks Mucky and whomever created topcos for each pick!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Insane about Kingsley
