I remember Williams doing punts a little bit in the past and he actually had a few good returns. It's just a little sketchy when our depth at CB is already pretty low.

Not sure what to think about B-Jack.

I have a feeling though that they're hoping Shields can work out the kinks. If he can just learn to catch the damn ball he'll be fine.

Yeah but that thing aren't really been updated... it's the same order as the start of training camp minus the guys that didn't make the team.

Tausher doesn't even have a back-up if that's right...

Who needs returners?

1. The opposing team only gets to kick off once before the game is decided.

2. Every punt (for the other team) gets blocked.

I see that I'm not the only one experiencing some longer loading times when trying to post. Lol.

Anyway, Brandon Jackson has been getting hurt every couple of carries. I hope he stays healthy and that he can help us on KRs.

If he does get hurt, we still have Nelson on our roster, who wasn't spectacular, but not too bad, either.

Like DJ said, Williams has actually looked quite good on PRs, but having your starting CB return punts has something scary about it. Especially with either Shields or Underwood being thrown into the starting spot if Williams would go down.

BJ Raji doesn't have a listed backup either. I thought we'd keep Toribio(sp) for that.

I have trouble believing that one of our two RB's is our primary returner on kicks and one of two of our starters at CB are primary returner for punts.

About the only things scarier than having Tramon risking injury by returning punts would be:
3. Having Greg Jennings risking injury by returning punts.
2. Having Charles Woodson risking injury by returning punts.
1. Having Aaron Rodgers risking injury by returning punts.

IMO, you don't have a starter returning punts unless you've got starter-class backups (and maybe not even then). I'd have a contest to see which backup has the best hands, and then tell him to fair catch every punt first.

I have forgotten what Shields screwed up as a returner.

The kid is lightning-fast...

Seriously, can someone refresh my memory?

He went to the Troy Williamson school of football catching.

So really, next to Tramon on PRs, who do we have to put out there?

Pickett is the back-up NT (and he makes less mistakes than Raji).

I think Nelson was better than Jackson at KR but we'll see what Jackson has...

Zero2Cool (15h) : 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.

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."

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

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.
