Ted Thompson stalking his prey – players for the final roster spots As we approach the final preseason game of 2012, it’s time to take a first crack at predicting the Packers 53-man roster to start the season. Once the preseason game against the Chiefs is in the books, we will publish a table with predictions from the entire staff here at AllGreenBayPackers.com (so you can mock us all from one convenient place). Looking over the candidates for this year’s 53-man roster, I’m feeling like it will be an easier task than it was last year. There were more wide-open spots at the bottom of the roster last season, as can be evidenced by Jamari Lattimore, MD Jennings and Vic So ‘oto all making the final roster as UDFAs.   Quarterback (2): Rodgers, Harrell Despite what Ted Thompson says, the packers have done a masterful and purposeful job of hiding BJ Coleman from the prying eyes of the rest of the league.

Good luck to Ted Thompson as he whittles down the current Packers roster to 53 players. We seem to say the same thing every year about the Green Bay Packers’ training camp roster: it’s going to be hard to make some of these cuts. There’s just so much talent across the positions, how do you decide who to keep? After looking at what Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy have done in...

Notes On A Preseason Game

A healthier Tramon Williams looks like an elite cornerback once again The title of this post pays homage to Notes On a Scandal - one of the most underrated movies in recent years. Anyway, here are 5 thoughts from the Packers’ 27-13 victory over the Bengals on Thursday: 1) Tramon Williams isn’t Darrell Revis, but he may receive similar treatment from quarterbacks this season...

Aaron Rodgers gets a surprise pie to the face

John Kuhn decided to prank his MVP QB with a shaving cream pie to the face while he was holding court with the media. Unfortunately Aaron Rodgers looked none too pleased with the joke. Get a sense of humor buddy! Just guessing the Packers FB didn’t know any better. He should probably just stick to blocking and working hard during the exercise programs. Best of luck to John on getting...
