1. I'm a little surpried that they cut Muir, I thought he looked good most of the preseaon. Maybe the 247 rushing yrd. by KC played a role in this.
2. Without R. Wells, Datko and Sherrod on PUP I'm curious whos gonna be the Backup at LT.
The Packers will probably move Lang to LT and put EDS ad OG if the need arises.#2 is something on my mind as well...
The Tori Gurley era is over before it started.

Really? James Jones for a 5th round pick? Gurley had every chance to make the team this year and he didn't. It was fun to picturing him blocking and important punt or something but it's not like we NEED him in the red zone. They went with Boykin who is the better guy right now. If they move JJ it won't be for anything less than a third. It's not like the guy is some huge bust or something.My understanding is that these cuts become official at a specific time this evening. Until then, we can still change our minds. My thinking here is that some team may have been waiting for Jones, when he wasn't in the list of cuts, they contact TT and swing a deal for a 5th round pick. TT trades him and un-cuts Gurly.
So the equation is Gurly + 5th vrs JJ. I don't think there is a big drop off from JJ to Gurly. Gurly is less expensive. Gurly has a higher ceiling. We can still put Finley, Jennings, Jordy, Driver and Cobb on the field, and we wouldn't miss JJ.Really? James Jones for a 5th round pick?

They're totally different players. Gurley is a situational guy and JJ can get downfield. If Nelson or Jennings are out for a game or two, I'd be much happier with Jones out there than Gurley. Actually, given how he's played this year so far, I guess I'd rather than Boykin too. The guy just gets open.So the equation is Gurly + 5th vrs JJ.

Am I the only guy who thinks the Pack should keep Jones and Gurley and let Driver go? Cobb needs to play the slot more often. He needs his playing time increased. Driver keeps Cobb off of the field. Gurley and Jones are both younger than Driver.
I love Driver as a player and a person, but the young players need their shot.

Einstein thinks he's worth a 3rd. I would be surprised if my scenario happens, just mentioned because of the rumor yesterday that Miami was interested in trading. I think JJ is worth more to us than he would be to other teams. Because they are different players I don't see as having any impact on the matter.Somebody would want to pay JJ $6 mil over the next 2 seasons. Everybody had the chance to do that last year, with no compensation at all, and everybody passed. I don't think JJ's play last season would have changed that picture much.
I agree with you. I don't think Driver is going to stand in Cobb's way this year though. Great guy and great career but his best days are behind him and he is now preventing other talent from seeing the field.
