Need to be at 75 players by Tuesday. Needs to be at 53 by Saturday 9/4.

WR Shawn Gore was cut earlier today which is no real surprise.

Bedard made a good point about this: these cuts are all about trimming down at the healthier positions in camp to keep bodies for the final pre-season game, especially at those positions hurt by injury.

I guess the only thing I am interested in is whether or not we cut a punter in the first round of cuts after Masthay's strong performance.

MM said the punter battle is closer if you count the work each guy has done in practice. 2 punts in a preaseason game is not going to carry a lot of weight in the decision. For him anyway. The fans will make their minds up at the whim of a hat.

I say screw having a punter, keep an extra TE or WR instead. Just squib the punt kicks out of bounds.

Given that Masthay got a few kickoffs I think he's got it locked up.

But they'll let them both practice, but we should be seeing our starting punter play the entire 4th preseason game.

WR is pretty strong so I expect another one of them to be cut for the 75 roster.

The determining factor is if Bryan is holding in that game. They are alternating games and it is his turn to hold for FGs. If Masthay is holding he is in. If Bryan is holding, it either isn't decided or he is in.

Yeah looks like you're right, they'll let both compete all the way through. Although the way in which the article is written can be a tad confusing.

Watch out for sneaky cuts down to 75 on Tuesday. Last year the Packers cut DeShawn Wynn in the first round only to bring him back for the PS. Afterwards Ted Thompson said they did it to get him through waivers as most team ditch their garbage in the first cuts.

If we cut Quinn Porter now, we could probably sneak him into the PS.

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round
