He did WHAT?

By Rendezvous on Sep 1 2008, 5:16p 2

So Ted was a little busy today...per packers.com...

The Green Bay Packers have signed punter Derrick Frost and long snapper Brett Goode and released punter Jon Ryan and linebacker Abdul Hodge.

Now I ask, why release possibly the fifth or sixth best linebacker instead of Breno Giacomini, superbackup O-line or Tracy White, who can be replaced easily on special teams. Jon Ryan, who had a reat 34-yard run against the Titans demonstrating strong athletic ability, was released in favor for a punter who was released from the Redskins after getting beat out by a rookie. Ryan, who has shown B.J. Sander-esque inconsistency on occasion, has the potential to boot 50+ punts at any given time.
