We are at playoff race time but i'm still curious with what everyone thinks about what is gonna happen next year with Finley and Quarless(hope im spelling it right) it's a good problem to have but i think Quarless has alot of talent and the packers dont run alot of two tight end sets. The problem being we don't run many one tight end sets anyways so is Quarless basically gonna be a wide-out next year?

The Packers actually did and still do run plenty of 2 TE sets. In the future with both, defenses are going to have nightmares leading upto Packers games. The two of them both on the field at the same time is going to be fun to watch.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I predict Quarless and Finley to be in on many packages. They are big men have TE attached to their name, but it doesn't matter where they line up, they'll catch the ball when it comes their way (assuming Quarless continues to improve and impress).

I want to get through this year before I look down the road to next year. What if there is a lockout or a strike? What if Someone pulls a muscle during training camp? 10,000 things can happen. I just want to think about the game Sunday for right now.

He's on injured reserve. By rule, he can't play in any games this year, regular season or otherwise.

If Quarless continues to develop (which is far from a sure thing anyway) they will find a way to get him on the field when Finley comes back. McCarthy has shown that he is very willing to adjust his formations to make the best use of his personnel (5 WR and 2 FB being examples of that). I would like to see them line up sometimes with Quarless at TE and Finley split wide, where he can fully concentrate on scaring the crap out of those little DBs.

2 good TEs didn't seem to be a problem when we had Jackson and Chewy.

Yeah... that worked out pretty well, didn't it? But remember, after we signed Jackson, Chewy spent a lot more time blocking than catching. Having two receiving tight ends on the field is a less viable scenario, unless one (or both) of them is capable of laying the wood like Chewy could...

One (of many) thing I don't have a good feel for is how good our TEs are at blocking. Simply based on reading articles, my understanding is that neither Quarless/Finley are particularly good run blockers which would expose our intentions if both are in.

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

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

Martha Careful (4h) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (8h) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (8h) : 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
