packfanfb Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Added Evans and Tony Brown to the PS. Looks like Gute is completely moving away from these "fringe" CBs who hung around the last 2-3 years here (Pip, Waters, Hawkins, Goodson, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannondale Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Toomer could be an upgrade over Ryan. That was easy, too easy. Might be better than Morrison too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just worry about depth at corner, especially since I don't see the coverage skills in the current safety group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good chance that either Pipkins or Waters will be out there any time we might need them (hopefully never) during the season. Just a phone call away. The five CBs we do have represent by far the deepest CB unit we've had in about 4-5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Nothing yet on that last roster spot. Man I hope Gute is currently deep in trade talks for an EDGE player..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm considering that CB/DB group like its fine china. I dont want it broken - so I'd prefer Alex NOT be exposed to injury in the return game. His greatest value IMO is shutting down that slot receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kumerow move suggests Davis is safe now unless we include him a trade package for an EDGE player. I don't see him being cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Was a big Tony Brown guy in the later rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Danneskjold Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 So new practice squad addition Tony Brown is a cornerback, signed as an undrafted free agent by San Diego- played at Bama, has track sprinter credentials in the hurdles. So it seems Gute is going to keep challnging the bottom of the roster with new guys to see if he can improve. Hopefully Gute can be successful with that.

Speed kills - so keep picking up speedsters. The "Gunter days" have to be over. Any insights into his game and why he might not have stuck with the team that drafted him?

He could be one of those guys that's a roster lock every year and you don't expect him to play more than a few downs of defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
