Insider: Thumbs up to White, down to Mandell

The absence of Abbrederis has breathed life into White’s chances. Currently, he’s competing for the No. 5 job with Jeff Janis and Jimmie Hunt, who has distinguished himself from the other undrafted rookies with his ability to high point balls in team periods.

One of the smallest guys on the roster, White still has a knack for making big catches. Don’t be surprised if it gets him more opportunities in the coming weeks.

Kind of seems like Janis is losing ground.

Rookie cornerback Damarious Randall was taking first-team snaps ahead of receiver Jeff Janis at the gunner spot opposite Demetri Goodson.

Not a fan of Myles White... Curious to see Jimmie Hunt play.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

The Packers do not discriminate based on draft status or veteran contributions. The best players make the roster.

During the final cuts there are always 2 guys that surprise me that they made it and 2 guys that surprise me that they were cut.

I trust they will make the right decisions. Some of these guys are not good enough to be Packers but are good enough to be in the NFL.

Jimmie Hunt:

This guy reminds me of someone...just looks a lot stronger build wise. See if you come to the same conclusion. There is one play in the YT clip that reminded me of him so much.

Oh, and he had a sweet KR, too.

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.
