<title>We lead the league in cut players signed by other teams (12 replies)</title><link>http://www.packerwire.net/read.php?2,166103,166103#msg-166103</link><description><![CDATA[ [<a href="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/06/league-leading-five-former-packers-picked-up-on-waivers/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >profootballtalk.nbcsports.com</a>]<br /><br />5 players signed to other rosters. It will probably be 6 when Blackman is healthy, maybe even 7 when Barbre is healhty.<br /><br />I am of two mindsets on this:<br /><br />1. Good: Evidence that depth has improved and that competition for roster spots is fierce.<br /><br />2. Bad: Inefficient allocation of draft pick resources. We added 10 rookies but let 5 NFL roster worthy players go. Are we just reshuffling guys at the bottom without getting anywhere? After years of stockpiling picks to build depth, would it make more sense going forward to trade up (or trade for veteran talent), have fewer picks but hopefully better quality.]]></description>

<title>Vikings Roster (49 replies)</title><link>http://www.packerwire.net/read.php?2,166051,166051#msg-166051</link><description><![CDATA[ OK, now it seems most people are saying the Packers roster isn't good enough to compete, so let's take the Vikings roster, the roster of a competitor, and see how flawless it is.<br /><br />QB Brett Favre Tarvaris Jackson Joe Webb<br />FB Naufahu Tahi<br />RB Adrian Peterson Albert Young Toby Gerhart<br />WR1 Bernard Berrian Greg Camarillo<br />WR2 Percy Harvin Greg Lewis Sidney Rice<br />TE Visanthe Shiancoe Jim Kleinsasser Jeff Dugan Mickey Shuler<br />LT Bryant McKinnie<br />LG Steve Hutchinson Chris DeGeare<br />C John Sullivan Jon Cooper<br />RG Anthony Herrera<br />RT Phil Loadholt Ryan Cook<br /><br />LDE Ray Edwards Jayme Mitchell<br />LDT Pat Williams Jimmy Kennedy Fred Evans<br />RDT Kevin Williams Letroy Guion<br />RDE Jared Allen Brian Robison Everson Griffen<br />OLB1 Chad Greenway Heath Farwell Kenny Onatolu<br />MLB E.J. Henderson Jasper Brinkley<br />OLB2 Ben Leber Erin Henderson<br />LCB Antoine Winfield Chris Cook<br />SS Tyrell Johnson Jamarca Sanford Eric Frampton<br />FS Madieu Williams Husain Abdullah<br />RCB Asher Allen Lito Sheppard Cedric Griffin<br /><br />K Ryan Longwell<br />P Chris Kluwe<br />H Chris Kluwe<br />LS Cullen Loeffler Jared Allen<br />KR Percy Harvin<br />PR Asher Allen Percy Harvin Bernard Berrian<br /><br /><br />Note: I am making arguments that can be made, not saying I necessarily agree with them.<br /><br />1) Behind a 40 year old QB who is due for an injury after coming into camp late after ankle surgery they have a proven incompetent quarterback and nothing else.<br /><br />2) Behind Mr. Fumbles at RB they have no experience (12 NFL carriers between them) and no depth, no one that can reliably give him a rest without a MAJOR quality difference.<br /><br />3) 4 total healthy WR and none are that impressive.<br /><br />4) To start the season the Vikings have THREE healthy CBs, and you think we're thin? Winfield Shephard, and Allen make up the nickel package and they need to go into their weak safety pool (0 NFL starts, 0 Interceptions and 1 pass defended among the three backup safeties) to pull out a dime back, not to mention what the case is if there is a single injury there.<br /><br />5) Depth at LB? NONE of the backup LBs have started an NFL game.<br /><br />6) At KR they're risking a STARTING WR, and at PR they're risking their #2/3 CB.<br /><br /><br />My point, every team has concerns and negative points you can make about their roster. No one can build a perfect roster, there are going to be holes.]]></description>
