If we go with Joseph then the farce is complete. A career below average kicker who was below average again in camp and missed more points than Carlson.

Report last night regarding the Swing Tackle and Dillard:
"Apparently, the Packers haven’t been very impressed. According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, the “feeling internally” is that Green Bay’s first tackle off of the bench for the regular season isn’t on the team’s current roster. That’s a pretty crushing blow to Dillard, Caleb Jones and Kadeem Telfort, who have been competing for the position. On top of that, the Packers spent a draft pick on sixth-round pick Travis Glover in April, which might lead to him making the 53-man roster as a “redshirt” player."

Saw that RB Lloyd will be put on IR. Don’t know status of Dillon. NFL insiders believe rb Dameon Pierce (Texans) could be had for a late round draft pick. He ran for nearly 1000 yards as a rookie in 2022 and can block and catch, but doesn’t fit the scheme the Texans switched to last season. I think I’d rather have him than Wilson or Dillon if price was cheap.

Jets kicker Austin Seifert may be on the market.

From perspective of typical Joe - Carlson had to be cut because of misses in crucial time and XPs.
From perspective of fans who look at stats - Carlson was an average rookie kicker and it would be good to test him longer.

I felt good with keeping him year longer especially after the summer of competition. Also remember that 1. he was drafted 2. he had big shoes of still ready to play Mason to fill. Now I am surprised but I trust coaches that they have already verified what they wanted. Too bad, I hoped we had a copy of Daniel. All in all it's kind of admittng to a mistake.

So now what?

Carlson's eviction is a good thing. Big leg doesn't always mean big accuracy.

Toure was a disappointment. I saw him play for Nebraska and he was a beast at the college level. Didn't translate to the pros.

Jones, like Toure, had plenty of time to be a player. This is especially true since the Packers are looking for a swing tackle.

The Packers are not sitting pat and this is a good thing.

Have 11 days before the kickoff and that is plenty of time to comb over the waivers and bring in the a couple of kickers to tryout. I am wondering if they don't look at OL as well. This group falls off after the starters and I think we will see lots of shuffling when the injuries hit the group (injuries in the NFL are a when not an if). I have a feeling the offense might need the D to step up in the early part of the season.

Disappointed with the Anders Carlson news. I believed that Carlson's upside was much higher than Joseph's.

Having said that, neither kicker had given me much confidence in their skills. Great kickers kick the ball through the MIDDLE of the uprights, not towards the left or the right goalpost. Find us a kicker that kicks down the MIDDLE of the uprights, then we will have something we can work with.

The best news I'll get today will be finding out that I have the winner on my Mega Millions quick picks when I check the ticket later today. Otherwise, cutting Carlson will absolutely be the best by default.

If you look closely this pre season at the kicks Carlson made, many just made it past the goal post left or right. Nothing was ever down the middle. He sucks, lets just say it.

I think Carlson had the edge until Saturday's game. Both made long FG's but Carlson's was just inside the upright and barely cleared the crossbar. Joseph's was a yard longer, right down the middle with room to spare. Then there were the 2 short FG's. No sense in elaborating on those.

What's this BS? A *list*? A effing LIST? I want Jersey Al's mug filling the screen, maybe get him a flat-brimmed hat and a headset, stream that sh*t directly into what's left of my brain.

Let's Go!
#final53

I think Carlsons days were marked this summer when he missed that FG in the SF game last season. If he didn't show improvement he was gone.

Disappointed to see Big Caleb not make the cut. But, hopefully he will continue to develop on the practice squad. His day will come. I feel the same with Toure. On the bright side I feel good that Gute made the trade for Malik Willis getting a new new backup QB. The ugly news is that both Dillon and Lloyd are going to IR. Damn! I really had high hopes for Lloyd. I think in general the Packers have had a great off season. Now the only thing to worry about is the the Philadelphia Eagles. That game will answer a lot of questions.

I saw Toure getting cut.

Not sure if Joseph will be the kicker but the only thing I see with going with him over Carlson is that they feel he is more dependable being a veteran and maybe they see Carlson as not getting any better.

After the Malik Willis trade, I won't be surprised if a kicker, and swing tackle are found elsewhere.

Al, the trade for quarterback Malik Willis is an interesting one. He strikes me as being quite similar to Michael Pratt overall. He was a 3rd round draft pick a couple of years back, but failed to win the backup QB job with his team this year, losing out on the job to Mason Rudolph with the Titans.

I did a little research on Willis and managed to find out that he did score a 32 on the Wonderlic Intelligence score which is high with the average score being 24 among NFL quarterbacks. In my mind, I think his higher intelligence may very well help him, especially in this way...he should be able to learn the playbook of the Packers more quickly than the average quarterback. Of course that doesn't mean he will wind up being a starting quarterback in the league by any means, but it's at least a somewhat positive thing that helps set him apart from the average.

Kristian Welch was a great player but they had too many great LB's on the team to keep him. I believe he gets put on a team's 53 and well deserved. If not maybe they can get him to sign their PS

Thanks Al!

One nice addition might be a count down of how many more cuts we are expecting. Otherwise, I can do arithmetic and this is great.

I think they'll pick up "Prtatt" on the PS...

I always get a laugh this year when I look at the list and their are names, I didnt even know were like on the team. Its like WHO? And yes there were some I expected to be on it but Pratt is unusual unless they are sure he will clear waivers?

If the Packers wanted to spend a little money I wonder if MLF could convince Matt Tannehill to hold a clip board. They have worked together in the past.

Some of these signings make no logical sense.
1.) Kristian Welch: easily the best player of the entire preseason gets cut at the LB position the weakest position group on the defense. Hopper and Cooper kept due to being rookies, Mcdouffie and Quay are understandable even though they've been below average. However, Eric Wilson has never shown any ability at all on defense at the LB spot. I was shocked he was still on the team after last year. He's a gutter trash LB at best but they're starting him at MLB???? That's an abomination of a decision. Jeff just failed big time with this move. Kristian is going to be picked up ASAP by another team. Eric is 30 years old and has no upside. He's been cut by multiple bad teams for a reason.

2.) Qilson TE: He looked exponentially better than Simms and Davis as a pass catching TE. In camp at times he looked superior to Musgrave. Yet they already cut him???

3.) Royce and Dillard: If these jokers are still on the team it has to be for other reasons than football because they're beat all day every day in camp and preseason. Royce qas never more than a PS level OG yet he still makes the 53 every single year some how.

4.) Joeseph: The dude has a 78% FG% for camp. If they keep this career bum they're going to lose in the playoffs due to a missed FG. Riley Patterson just became available, he's a 88% FG% career kicker. This should be an obvious move.

5.)

So we just cut both are drafted QBs.
And Trade for a back-up with experience.

Yet we couldn't do that when a MVP QB
was are best chance to the Super-Bowl.

Bravo - All for the glory of Gute.

Keys form here for me:

With Christian Welch cut, are they keeping Mosby, Cox, or Anderson?

With Pratt cut, are they keeping Tyler Davis on the roster despite the shoulder injury, or is he or Jordan Morgan headed to IR since they still have one call-up slot open pre-53?

cutting Welch was a mistake, King and Dillon should be cut .

The Royce Newman experiment has finally ended. I had thought the Packers brass had lost their minds with this guy but they appear to have come to their senses(or they have a better player in Monk).

NEWMAN!!!!!! Thank God that guy is finally gone

Acme says Mosby made it.

Exeptionally few camp cuts get picked up on another team's 53 man roster so stop hyperventilating about Pratt, Clifford, and Welch. If the Packers want them back, they'll offer them spots on the PS and these guys will likely be availabe.

And those here who are complaining about letting go of draft picks, well when you have a lot of them you will also end up parting with a lot of them. Late round picks are late round picks for a reason - they have enough talent to get a good look but enough flaws to be non-viable if they cannot transcend those flaws. There are people here who were clamoring for Clifford to START last year. Where are you now?

(With tongue firmly in cheek)
Easy solution to 'Swing Tackle' issue--if they act fast!
Trade Colby Wooden to Tennessee for Treylon Burks
Trade Treylon Burks to Pittsburgh for Dan Moore.
Who doesn't like a 3-way?

Bo Melton traded to Chargers for a seventh rounder next draft. Must not have thought he'd make it through the waiver order. Nice to get something.

Sports Illustrated reporting MarShawn Lloyd makes the 53.

Edit: My bad, got caught by the dreaded click bait headline. "Chargers land young Packers receiver in last-second trade PROPOSAL"

Bunch of guys just released from Acme site:

WR Grant DuBose
DT Keonte Schad
DT Spencer Waege
LB Ralen Goforth (waived/injured)
LB Christian Young
CB L.J. Davis (waived/injured)
CB Gemon Green
CB Kalen King
CB Robert Rochell
S Anthony Johnson, Jr.
S Benny Sapp III
K Alex Hale

Additionally going on IR:
RB AJ Dillon (season-ending)
TE Tyler Davis (season-ending)
DT Jonathan Ford (eligible to return)

There's never so much angst as when the Kennard Backmans of the world get cut.

Wish Dillon well. Probably seen the last of him and with neck injury he may be done?
I can't see him playing for pack again we got Lloyd now. Adios buddy.
