What did Samori Toure ever do to you?

Dude cut Samori and put Jonathan Ford on the 53 just to piss me off.😌

Joking, although I think there is a little truth there.

I think Jenkins is gonna start on the PUP list.

That's too many DL, they usually keep 5, but have sometimes kept 6. 7 is too much, especially when considering one of them probably could sneak to the PS.

Someone claimed the Packers claimed they're are putting Tariq Carpenter at ILB, despite playing SS in college.

With Carpenter at ILB, then there is only 8 DBs when teams normally keep 10, especially for STs, so I'd say they keep the best two DB STer they can find instead of one of the DL and LB.

---

Matt LaFleur said he will be in the ILB room. We will probably only see him on the grass at ILB in camp and preseason. Full-Time Special Teamer once week 1 rolls around.

I needed another position filled so I added Ford. 😉

I think we'll have two undrafted guys make the roster and I wouldn't be surprised if we keep 7 WR.

No idea how this was tabulated so don't even try asking unless you know you're not going to be answered. Some Mike Clay on Tweeter posted this. Apparently Packers have best post-draft NFL roster.

I'm mildly annoyed that they disrespected our TE's and WR's.

They are in for shock this season. Who made this anyhow? Mike Clay posted it, but I assume some idiots like PFF created it.

I get the impression you are the kinda person who would win $200 million dollar lottery off a $5 ticket and complain about the taxes deducted from it.

Anyhow, we can pretty much lock this 53 in minus ~3 changes. BOOK IT BABY!!!

I noticed they didn't factor in STs... which was kinda the Packers biggest weakness.

As for tabulation, it's not difficult, other than grading each player, but supposedly that's what PFF does. So just take their their grade and plug into the formula.

But the number above the positions (like 28% is above QB) is how valuable is that position (according to PFF) to the teams overall success, and when you add them all up you get 100% .

So according to PFF, QB is 28% of a teams success, while TEs are only 4% and RBs are only 3%.

I think it's important to note, they have 58% of a teams success coming from the offensive side of the ball, and 42% on the defensive side.

Then below the position is PFF grade on a 4.0 scale ... so Packers QB is at 4.0 which means 100% great QB.

To get the averages on the right, you times the position value by the grade (so for QB is 28% * 4.0 = 1.12) and you do that for every position to find the value to the team and sum them up.

So a prefect total grade would be 4.0, prefect offensive grade would be 2.32 (as it's 58% of overall grade) and a prefect defensive grade would be 1.68.


To out it bluntly I'm terms of just Packers, they're finding this is where the Packers success is coming from

36.9% QB
13.1% CB
13.0% OL
9.0% DL
8.7% S
7.4% Edge
6.2% LB
3.1% RB
1.4% WR
1.2% TE

I mean, I know the Packers don't nessarily have clear studs at WR and TE, but combine for less than 3% just seems absolutely disrespectful.

The more I look at Zero's final 53 the more I realize how wrong he is about his projections for the final 53.

Dafney on the 53 over Tyler Davis at TE?

And is he listing Cobb as our WR1? Cobb has a chance to not even make the roster. At best he is WR4.
