If I'm not mistaken (per the tweets of the beat reporters), GB absolutely did choose Borel and it was a concious decision not to offer Gurley a spot on the practice squad.

Dale Moss to the TB practice Squad.

Levine to the Ravens practice squad.

MJD to report to JAX today.

My goodness does this article shed some insight into what has been going on with Terrell Manning. Spoiler - a parasite, significant weight loss, and only recently recovering, all the while never missing a practice.

I've been longing for the day Anthony Smith was no longer a member of this team. I'm so happy that happened after the XLV season. Maybe he's gotten his act together over the past few years, but I'll always remember him for being the loud mouth punk who got owned after talking **** when he replaced an injured Polomalu for one game. I honestly don't remember the situation any more than that, but it certainly left an impression on my mind.

I think you are actually thinking of Anthony Smith, who hasn't been on the team for a while now.

Haha, in all honesty I never made that mistake until this preseason. But yeah, was definitely pulling against that guy for no reason at all.

Michael Rodney ‏@PackerUpdate
GB completes PS by signing former Steeler OL Chris Scott. He was a fifth round pick out of Tennessee in 2010. Played in 2 games last season.

Weird to be getting an OL from OL starved Pit, but Tominance knows best.

Wow. That's pretty incredible.

Yeah, that makes me really happy he made the team.

I thought something seemed off about him. Glad to hear he's on the mend. PS Cut Hawk.

I think we should trade for D. Garrard from Miami, looks like he might no have a spot. Heck TT offer them a 6th rd pick for Garrard. I'd feel way more comfortable with Garrard as our backup QB, then Harrell.

I wouldn't. Garrard is a has been that was never good. Harrell has at least been in our system for two years.

trwi7 · Post #872 » by **trwi7** » Tue Sep 4, 2012 1:01 pm

Are we really going to feel that much better with Garrard starting than Harrell if we need a backup QB? I'm fine with getting a different backup QB if the price is right but if we're just going to go from Harrell to a guy like Garrard, we should just keep Harrell and the picks we would have to give up.

Aaron It Out · Post #873 » by **Aaron It Out** » Tue Sep 4, 2012 1:10 pm

Yeah I don't see the point in bringing in another QB at this point. Harrel isn't the most ideal but as the skipping record repeats, if Rodgers goes down we're f'd no matter what. No Garrard or McCoy is really going to change that.

I agree. Like most other teams with a elite-legit starting QB, it's a wrap if we had to go with the #2 qb. GB, NE, NO, NYG, DEN, SF, SD, DAL(i know they have Orton, yay), etc. seasons would be finished if it came the backup QB.... and i'm ok with that.

I dont feel that there is a need to trade for a #2 QB... I have also abondoned the "trade James Jones" ship. Not sure that Jennings(or DD) stays after this season so our top-notch WR depth will be challenged with that kind of a loss. If that went down, we'd be going into the season with Jordy, JJ, Cobb, Borel(?), Boykin(?) and prolly a draft pick. Nice depth but not what we've become accustomed to.

Good article on Jennings and contract
