Starting TE

 Henry still whigging out after all these years

 

Fillmore was the only Whig president who did not die in office or get expelled from the party

 

He could get open down the seam, allegedly

John Quincy Adams was pure nepotism.

Two Clintons and a Teddy.

Maybe a Cuomo?

Rodgers

Quarless

Backman ?

 

Last year GB ran a lot of their offense out of 11 personnel. That's 1 TE and 1 RB

In preseason, we saw Kuhn out there blocking since he's better at it than the TEs are

 

Here's Erik Baranczyk from PackersNews on the topic

 

"...against the Steelers, the Packers played their entire first series in a personnel group they usually don’t use for such a long stretch: two backs and three receivers. They played it all 10 plays of the series and went 80 yards for a touchdown.

 

And that’s a grouping that could play more this season than planned now than Nelson is out. The reason it’s an attractive alternative is that fullback John Kuhn is a far better run blocker than any of the Packers’ tight ends. So the Packers run the ball better when he’s on the field than when Richard Rodgers or Andrew Quarless plays.

 

Facing three wide receivers, the defense almost has to go with its nickel personnel (five defensive backs, only two linebackers). The nickel back, who replaced a linebacker, covers a receiver.

That leaves only six players (four defensive linemen, two linebackers) in the box.

With a tight end on the field, the Packers would have only five capable blockers (the offensive line). But with Kuhn instead, they have a sixth "

I've thought this may be a year where Ted keeps just 2 TEs on the roster, with all the talk of Kuhn being a lock, which he is looking to be indeed. As Henry wrote to Monica Belucci, "it could happen."

The chances of Ted keeping only 2 tight ends are about the same as the chances of Ted releasing Nick Perry.

Or signing Boykin

Or cutting Kuhn

       
       

Yeah, heyward. I didn't say it would be within the norm. In 2009 Ted kept 6 backs and 3 TEs, Finley, Lee and Havner, who was used almost exclusively on STs. Just threw the idea out there. I like Kennard Backman a lot.

Why have a forum if you can't ask other fans questions? Pose new ideas? Does everything have to be wrapped in a big bow of lazy sameness for you guys? These BS beat downs just get tiresome. I'm just a fan who wants the best players we can get on our team, just like everybody else.

Whatever.

You know what? I might like to see them keep 6 backs, and Rotheram, and run all day, every game this season. Wear other Ds out. Road grade 'Em. Make life easier for Rodgers. If that means keeping your best blockers...

R-E-L-A-X

Its all in good fun and remember - everyone of these guys and gals has taken their share of ribbing at X4 over the years. We all have "battle-scars"

You're gonna have to drink fast to catch up. Would you prefer to be ignored ?

 

Have a take, don't suck and accept that some fans see it differently than you and that yer gonna get some pushback from time to time.

 

IF you ever find yourself getting irked, just fire a gratuitous shot at Fedya, he's the designated dipschit/punching bag for this forum.

Thank you Satan. Fedya's ****ing douche.

OK, I'm out to drink mass quantities of tequilla. Enjoy the game my friends.

Sage words satan!

This could be the year that Henry makes the team.
