[SudsMcBucky]

Bakhtiari???

 

[thequick12]

They got nothing as far as a backup tackle goes...there has been chatter from people I know thru work, who are in the know about a reunion

Id love it...be cool for him to play with Rodgers and then win one with Love ala Chad Clifton for Favre and won one with Rodgers

Looks about right. Enagbare and Clark got missed there

Forgot about him...maybe Rochell

Dillard is terrible, could find someone better on the street. No way he can be the swing tackle

DB69 is obviously a pipe dream...point is even in whatever condition hes in...hes better than Dillard

 

[thequick12]

Oh wow forgot Kenny Clark too smh

Clark replaces Ford
Enagbare knocks Tyler Davis off the roster

 

[Poppa San]

6. Malik Heath

Heath instead of DuBose? He's been that much better or the experience from last season gives him the extra .000534 points he needs.

resign Bowden

Resign someone not currently on the roster or did you mean Orzech?

.000534 points. Are you an Olympic gymnastics judge or something. Does that mean Heath will have to give back his 6th place medal. What are 6th place medals made out of anyway? Aluminum? Maybe that shiny stuff sticks of gum are wrapped in.

 

[thequick12]

I dont see Dubose missing out on a roster spot and I dont see the Packers keeping more than 6

 

[gopkrs]

I dont see Dubose missing out on a roster spot and I dont see the Packers keeping more than 6

If it meant cutting Davis to keep Melton, Dubose and Heath; I would do it. We had two of the top 4 out at the same time last year. Not to mention Dubose. Melton looks iffy right now but I think that will change when Love is throwing to him.

I expect Melton and Heath to regress to mean which implies we should get the one year wonder out of Dubose. And maybe Toure. There is a reason these guys were all late day 3 or UDFA.

Kind of cynical. I think Heath and Dubose have a lot of athleticism and very good hands. I'll have to see about Melton but he looked very good over the middle of the field last year.

 

[tynimiller]

I expect Melton and Heath to regress to mean which implies we should get the one year wonder out of Dubose. And maybe Toure. There is a reason these guys were all late day 3 or UDFA.

So while I don't disagree with this take personally on Heath, let's unpack these four guys and why the prospect scout guy in me sees validity in what Poppa San is saying potentially.

Heath - Heath was a main dog at Ole Miss in 2022...but to be fair he played two years at Mississippi State and despite being active in 10 and 11 games never broke 450 yards in either season....now that said Jonathan Mingo was there as well (ftr Heath out produced Mingo in yards, receptions and tied for receiving TDs). However, a lot more is known about what Heath might be both because of playing at a higher level SEC conference but also the team got a LOT of looks at him last year...

Melton - Melton played FIVE years in college and his best year was his 2020 where he put up 638 yards / 6 TDs and chipped in 2 TDs and 69 yards rushing on 6 attempts. Unlike Malik, Melton does possess a skill that cannot be coached and that is speed of a special level (4.34)...but again Melton from a receiving perspective might be a gamer, but five years in college and now a few years in the pro's he isn't a guy that can win a ton of 1v1 matchups...scheme, motion and playcalls to work the ball into his hands make him special. You keep Melton if you envision him being your motion type guy and such, but I think most realize Melton's ceiling is likely WR4 type...

Samori Toure - The reason why you might bet on Toure is the fact you're talking about a SMALL school guy (Montana) which transferred and played at a "bigger" school in Nebraska (which seriously many would say was a slight downgrade program wise LOL). However, essentially this cat lit it up at Nebraska despite the team being bad, and has fulfilled his obligations in the depth he has been placed at in 2022 and 2023...the crazy thing is he has only seen just over 100 snaps both years and yet has 13 catches for 160 yards and a TD with about four games worth of snaps. If you happen to watch just him specifically Toure has been sharp at the limited times they've asked him to play offensive snaps - he has a better body lean to push separation through a break than some possess and who knows maybe this small school cat is ready to finally break through....which is tough to imagine with the stacked depth chart ahead of him. He is a very elite type RAS athlete which many forget and he can scoot too.

Grant DuBose - Grant is a lot like Heath, neither are that niche type WR (like I see Melton) but is a guy that is used to being an alpha, and could rise to be a legit WR2 if progression keeps happening. Unlike Heath however, DuBose is coming from far lesser competition which sometimes squelches a guys ability to shine that first season because they're trying to just keep head above water. Many already know he comes from a small school in Charlotte but folks that was just his last two years....this cat started at Division II Miles College his freshman year....covid stole Div II season his sophomore season...he got accepted to transfer to Charlotte where he put up 892 yards on 62 receptions and 6 TDs that first year and did 792 / 64 / 9 his final year. RAS of 8.79 Dubose is that Packer type receiver build if you punched in tendencies and hit enter. This young man has fought from zero star to a Div II spot, turned that into a spot for Charlotte...was seen as UDFA by many and pushed to be drafted.....didn't make roster last year and is pushing to now....Folks that fight mixed with measurables is where amazing stories lie. He arguably has the most untapped potential but possibly even the most unrealized or known too...

Pretty funny. Maybe Give that man a Ribbon. PB&R!

I was reading somewhere last night that teams can put 2 players on the recallable IR list BEFORE the cut down date this year without them counting against the roster at that time.

That’s actually super helpful.

 

[OldSchool101]

Has QB Clifford shown enough in Year 2 to assume the role of our backup QB?? While I don’t like moving on from players too quickly (some grow at a slower pace or blossom a year or 2 later) I do have concerns about Clifford getting thrust into the starting lineup for any length of time. If we were in rebuild status this wouldn’t even be a proposed question, but should we be looking around the league for a QB2 with more experience and a better track record?
I’m not suggesting Tannenhill (I think he’s an average to lower starter and guessing he will hold out for $10m+) but there’s several teams where their 3rd QB is better than our 2nd and at little financial cost.
For me. I’d like to see Clifford show something in our last Preseason game. He’s hit a plateau from coming off his Rookie season and I’d argue has regressed some.

I was lukewarm at best before I watched Mike Wahle's breakdown of the game. His opinion, which I know agree with, is that yes, Clifford had the fumble and those two deep shots were missed, but the fumble could easily be on the center (likely based on the first step) and the two deep shots were the right decision.

So, maybe?

 

[gopkrs]

We went with Clifford last year as a rookie. I'm thinking go with Pratt this year. This last game will be interesting in seeing the poise and throwing ability of the two. It would be nice to be able to compare apples to apples. Switching series is not ideal but if you did it almost the whole game; it could show more than going out there with different receivers and O linemen.

 

[tynimiller]

I personally suspect neither of these two are our QB2 by week six

Is that on Youtube? Sounds worth a look, thanks for the headsup.

That's an interesting insight. Do you have any speciic names in mind, or do you think it's more of a flexible scenario depending journeyman quarterbacks happen tp be available at that stage of the season?

 

[PikeBadger]

I'll be surprised if Clifford isn't QB2 next Tuesday
