squire12 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 WOW Gilbert was someone who looked good in his reps. Most surprising thus far to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left Adams off thinking he would go to IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopackgonerd Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I suppose they're confident in Brooks/Elliot? Maybe Biegel is coming back sooner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Not sure how you can justify cutting Gilbert and keeping Fackrell. TT should be required to explain that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT should be required to explain that one. I feel ya, but there is a deeper math and magic that involves draft position and "Packer people" voodoo. Fackrell gets released next off-season if he continues looking as polite and Wonder bread as he did this preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 2 minutes ago, packfanfb said: Not sure how you can justify cutting Gilbert and keeping Fackrell. Fackrell has upside as an ILB conversion (he's long and quick and decent in coverage). Gilbert is a guy whose game is predicated on technique and efficiency of motion, but his lack of athleticism is going to be even more of a problem inside. Fackrell's just a better mover in space.

TransientTexan Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 maybe they feel Fackrell has more potential. not worth losing sleep over really. not like Gilbert is a Von Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltarich87 Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Elliott I get they just gave a nice bonus to him but there was nothing that Fackrell did this preseason to earn a spot over Gilbert other than "he's a 3rd rd pick". In the end it's not really a move that moves the needle in any one direction since all 3 of these guys are fringe players anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
