[QUOTE="Croak, post: 314626, member: 2367"] Reuttgers was a tough decision for Wolf. There was great debate on whether to let him go or give him his shot. He did indeed get well enough to play, then re-aggravated his injury and they decided to unload him. He was a starter. And I would include Bigby and Harris for this year. (Harris because he practiced some and was a starter) I'm not sure about Jolly. It would depend on if he missed any games this year or just partial games? In any event, my point is not that this year's team hasn't faced injuries. We all know it has. My point is that the '96 team also faced a lot of troubling injuries in which a lot of players had to step up and some had to be shuffled around. For a while in '96 we had a rotating offensive line and defensive line because of injuries. Then the receiver fiasco hit and really threw a monkey wrench into things. Ron Wolf and Mike Holmgren did a masterful job of keeping the team in it. I remember a lot because I still have old "Sporting News" and the old paper "Packer Report" magazines from that year (so it's not all memory, some of it is cheating) and a SI or two from that year. Nowadays the Packer Report is all glossy and only comes out once a month. Of course I still have an old Babe Parilli football card from the Packers too (along with Hornung and an early Starr card). I'm a pack rat of sorts. [/QUOTE]
