not a whole lot of great options
Interesting that Silverstein has Pennel as the next man up, IF he's active on game day.
It's surprising to me there's any question of Pennel being active.Well, it seems like the Packers want to keep Boyd primarily at DE, so it´s no surprise Pennel would be next in line.
I expect him to be active vs. Seattle as Tretter has already been ruled out and Bostick and Goodson probably won´t be able to play either. I think the team will only dress two QBs and don´t see Bradford and Mulumba making the 46. My guess is that the last inactive will be one of Janis, Lattimore, Barrington, Elliott or Richardson.

You could be right--Packers play 2 down linemen ~70% of the time, don't they? They'll need a lot of guys able to contain Wilson on the run, so maybe Pennel sits this one out.Well, with Peppers, Perry and Neal capable of playing at DE the Packers could think about dressing only four DL. Highly unlikely though.

Good point, but going small (or having minimal dlineman) worries me as well. They can easily just turn to Marshawn Lynch, Michael and Turbin and just pound the ball between the tackles and wear our interior defense out. I'd prefer to have at least some more size active so we can make the adjustment if needed.
After having sat out 3 weeks of TC I'm not 100% sold that Guion is 100% healthy ~ gotta suit-up Pennel.
I have a feeling we are going to see Peppers and Neal in a 3 point from time to time......mixing it up a littleI presume that'll happen anyway. 5 DL active on gameday is normal for us. We kept only 5 pure DL.

Me too. I think we are going to see Peppers coming from different angles and stances in order to disrupt the O-Line and hopefully get Matthews into one on one situations with the tackle.I have a feeling we are going to see Peppers and Neal in a 3 point from time to time......mixing it up a little
Did he even play tonight? I did no hear his name once all game.
Guion was getting blown off the line with regularity. How many times did Collinsworth say the Packers missed Raji? At least twice. The guy has an impaired memory.
I did, the annoucers said he basically was sucking..... started watching him, he got pushed around like a baby. He is a weak b*tch.
If that's the type of play we can expect from our interior D-line I'm all for bringing Pickett back in. Knock on Pick was that he held the point and stacked the line, but couldn't generate any push. Holding the point and stacking the line would be an upgrade to Guion (& others) getting moved off the ball allowing gaping holes. I know, I know ~ Pickett is old and his tank is near empty... but would be better than most other options available (Alan Branch, Isaac Sopoaga, ??)
