Why do we still have two kickers on the 53-man squad when we have so many other needs?
It’s the ability to elevate players from the practice squad. That provision allows teams to be much more flexible with how they build their active roster. It’s as simple as that.
II, with the OL injuries, do you think there is a chance we see Rasheed Walker, Rhyan, Zach Tom, Jordan Morgan and Anthony Belton? It’s been said that Tom could be an All-Pro center and with Elgton Jenkins on IR now seems like a good time to give it a try.
Barring an emergency, not this season.
Do you think there is any connection between JL10 and overall offensive performance this year and the QB whisperer Tom Clements’ retirement?
I don’t think so. Don’t get me wrong – Clements is a terrific coach, but the Packers actually rank higher in passing yards (ninth compared to 12th) than last year while Love has a higher passer rating (103.0-96.7).

Do you think the Packers would consider asking Tom Clements what he is doing for the next three months?
Are you guys at breakfast together at someplace with eggs benedict and free Wi-Fi? These submissions came in seconds apart.
The observation that replays do a disservice to QBs surveying a field is a valid one. It won’t happen in the foreseeable future (like laser-equipped goal posts), but I would love to see helmet-cam footage from a QB’s perspective. It would be eye opening and scary.
Not to keep bringing up Formula One, but it’s so different watching a race from a helmet cam than what you see from the sky. Everything moves so much faster, requiring quicker reflexes and decision-making. It’s no different on the field with a quarterback. The game is literally in his hand and the decision he makes with the ball affects everyone on the field.

What is your favorite holiday to cover a game?
I’ve very much enjoyed the Christmas games. The NFL had to get (almost uncomfortably) creative to make the Wednesday work last year, but I think there’s a future in the league making Christmas Day games an annual tradition.

Three, going on four days, and still nothing on packers.com about Elgton Jenkins. Whoever is running this website should be fired.
Bro, what is your deal? You’ve been emailing all week. There was a press release. It’s listed on the transactions page. I wrote a freakin’ story about it. You’re standing in front of the trough. Do you expect us to cup the water into your mouth, too?
If Rhyan has a couple decent outings at center over the next few weeks, would it be smart to put E.J. in a different spot on the line other than center when he returns to help shore up the rest of the line?
Let’s just get through Sunday first. Also, do you happen to know Mark from Mark?

Wes, if you’re there, I’m sure you and Mike are worn out from trying to keep the fan base from heading for the knife drawer and checking out. I feel for you. We all feel for you, and that’s why this venue is so cool. We need you guys to keep us on an even-keel and not get too high or too low when deep down. We all know there’s tons of talent on this team and eventually, it will come together. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you, Rick. We keep on keeping on.

Will the Packers recover from two home losses in a row?
I have no question about the Packers’ ability to bounce back from those setbacks, but it’s gotta happen at MetLife Stadium Sunday. The Packers need a win. They have 60 minutes to take what they came for.
Back on the road. The Packers will rebound. Reasons to believe: 1) The Giants are in flux. New coach, new QB means advantage GB. 2) Love is heathy and will be the field-tilting QB in this game. 3) The Packers’ D has been stingy, and it will build on the success. 3) Josh Jacobs is set for a big game against a questionable run defense. 4) It’s time. It’s just flippin’ time! GPG!
And I’d say it’s about time to play some football again. Enjoy the game, folks.
