Shut the Vets down? Or keep going?

So do you keep playing the vets? Or shut them down? Or give them the option?

I'm thinking of maybe giving Rodgers the option, with the suggesting that he should fully heal.

But with the others, maybe try to sit them and get some of the younger players going and some live game action. Maybe not all of these guys, but certainly some of them.

Like maybe sit Evans and Brooks see what one of the young OG/OLB have.

Are we mathematically eliminated?

Once they are eliminated, Rodgers should sit. Some of those other guys playing for contracts or on short term deals let them play. But yeah lets see some young up and coming guys.

Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams I would sit the last two games.

I'm thinking try to shut down a number of the vets for a year.

Especially if they're banged up... though I've honestly sorta want QB Rodgers and WR Nelson to show they can get back in rhythm before the year ends.

But no need for CB House, WR Adams, OLB Perry to rush back from injuries...

Others like OLB Brooks, OL Evans, S Burnett, can maybe rest for younger guys... and try to develop them.

We need Bak to play, to give others time, and because while we got back-ups there, I'm not sure we are really thinking any of them can develop for the long term (though you don't always know), but I'm just not seeing the physical potential there... then again, I haven't seen OT John play.

Keep Kendricks going, as we need the TEs for future years.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen, but I was just thinking outside the box.

But it would be nice. Though if you make a serious offer right now, Adam's camp might be interested especially if Adams isn't cleared right away.

I think your "if im agent" talk is not well thought out my friend, lol.

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

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

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
