WR Patrick Williams Signed From The Practice Squad

6 WRs? I suppose if you count Finley…

I still don’t understand the obsession with Tyrell Sutton. What would he have to offer? He wouldn’t take snaps from Grant, and he’s so tiny he’d really have to prove his worth blocking-wise to be utilized on 3rd downs. Personally I think Jackson is doing a fine job there.

And I don’t know what worth Brian Brohm would ever have in Green Bay. By all accounts, the Packers are happy with Flynn as a back-up. Unless Brohm offers some magic FG-holding dimension that makes Crosby’s kicks tail in from the right hash, he’s of little use now. And until his performance surpasses Flynn’s, he’s of little use in the future.

I’ve noticed he was inactive last week. It seems that he would be helpful to have, especially late in the game when you are grinding out yards.

6th wide receiver? I only count 5. Driver, Jennings, Jones, Nelson, and now Williams.

And I’ve got no problem with keeping an O-line prospect for as long as they think he’s still developing. A good o-lineman takes years to get ready. If you really watch one of those guys and how precise every little move has got to be, and how they’ve got to react flawlessly to what the defender does… It’s as complex of a skill set as any in football. Technique is everything. And they’ve got to do it all while engaged in full contact, unlike any of the other skill guys.

Now why they had to keep 3 fullbacks, that one I don’t know the answer to.

Brohm was a chump, though, at least for us. …which, y’know, who knew? Hope he does well somewhere else, but I’m okay with Ted cutting bait on him.

might just keep some guys for practice and scout teams. If they do really well, then they get a shot at being bumped up to active roster. I do think a third FB is nessesary though, only because they run sets with 2 FB

I’m not really sure why they need a 6th WR on the active roster. There are a couple other guys on the roster, T Breno Giacomini and S Matt Giordano, who don’t seem to fill a need on the roster either. Not that they especially need a 3rd QB or a 4th RB, but why did they let go of guys like QB Brian Brohm and RB Tyrell Sutton, and keep other guys like Giacomini, Giordano, and Williams?

Answer: Special Teams. Brohm and Sutton weren’t needed because the former wasn’t good enough to be on an NFL roster, and the latter isn’t McCarthy’s kind of player. I don’t think he differentiates between fullbacks and halfbacks on the roster, just running backs, but specifically what do each of them offer? Grant is the primary back, with Jackson and Green spelling him on occasion and also on 3rd down, Johnson is the bruiser FB, Kuhn and Hall are both decent receivers but more importantly pick up blitzes very well. What does Sutton bring to the team there that the 3rd down backs don’t, aside from not being able to pick up blitzes well?

Having a good amount of receivers and a guy like Matt Giordano (who is lightning quick but not good at safety, so totally suited for special teams) is good for our special teams. I believe Giacomini plays on the return teams as well, having these guys around help keep our starters fresh for non-ST downs.

Hell, maybe this Pat Williams kid will start returning kicks so Jordy can stay fresh for receiving downs?

off topic but do the Jersey Contest standings come out tomorrow? wanna make sure I dont forget about it

if ya want to get real nit picky, he would make six if you consider Brett Swain on IR. Let me count once :) Driver Jennings Jones Nelson SWAIN and now da da da #6 Patrick williams!!!! Hey, I did it!!! There was another signing today also—————CB D.J. CLARK #43
