TEAMS: Green Bay Packers, Cleveland Browns, St. Louis Rams
TEAMS: Green Bay Packers, Cleveland Browns, St. Louis Rams
Well here we go again, last year I was completely off and I don’t expect to be much different this year. I have however thought a lot about the rationale for creating a NFL roster and I came up with these ideas a couple weeks ago, which I’ll try to use as my baseline rules.
Offense – 24 players
Quarterback (2): Aaron Rodgers, Graham Harrell
Rodgers is obviously a lock and I almost think it’s too late for a backup quarterback switch. I know some people have been speculating that the Browns will drop the price for Colt McCoy and Thompson will trade for him, but my assumption is that the Brown’s asking price is way too high at the moment (since as far as I can tell no team has been in serious talks with the Browns), and chances are good Thompson will get outbid by some other team if the price does indeed drop into a competitive offer, so I suspect McCoy goes somewhere else and Harrell remains the backup quarterback.
Running Back (5): James Starks, John Kuhn, Cedric Benson, Alex Green...

Harrell beats back critics with perfect QB rating
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers was not pleased with the way the media and the public had been treating his backup quarterback, Graham Harrell, throughout the preseason.But Harrell's play had warranted criticism. Through the Packers' first three games, he had completed just 32 of 63 passes with one touchdown and two interceptions. He had made enough throws for fans and reporters...
Aaron Rodgers Gets Pied In the Face
Aaron Rodgers certainly wasn't doing a celebration after this interview. While taking questions from the media, there wasn't just microphones in his face. Packers' Fullback John Kuhn weaved through the reporters like they were the defensive line and managed to give Rodgers a face full of shaving cream (he was probably due for a shave anyways).I wonder if Rodgers will...

Packers Have Room For Sherrod
Second-year offensive tackle Derek Sherrod is still on the active roster
The Packers have yet to place Derek Sherrod on the physically unable on perform list, and while it could still happen by the end of the week, it’s beginning to look as if the second-year tackle will start the season on the 53-man roster. And he should. Having the former Mississippi State star available to...
