packfanfb Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Glad to see it. Heath earned his spot again. Still think Dubose is the odd man out here and the Packers will roll with Melton and Heath, same as last year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fussnputz Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) 4 minutes ago, packfanfb said: It's not so much that. People don't seem to understand that Pratt is not REMOTELY ready to play in a regular season game. The talk about him being the No. 2 was always laughable, he wasn't even good in the preseason. He made a few throws, but overall, Pratt was very ordinary-to-below-ordinary throughout camp. If the Packers want him on the PS, he'll be there. If they want him on the PS in 3 weeks, he'll likely still be there. That makes sense. Keep Clifford around until Willis learns the offense, then Pratt could replace Clifford...if they both clear waivers. And If they think Pratt has a higher ceiling.

I didn't see the point in getting rid of Heath .. he's a good football player and willing to do some dirty work. Kid was productive last year, and then was productive again in camp. Not the kind of guy you cut loose. Dubose has better long range potential I think, but he's not ready for the 53 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traded I'm leaning towards #3 but #2 is also very possible as he is a vested veteran which means if he's on the roster in week one then his salary is fully guaranteed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big Melton fan. I don't like receivers with iffy hands. Dubose isn't as fast, but he might develop into a better all-round receiver than Melton. I guess it depends on what the coaches are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heath didnt do anything to lose his job, but why wouldnt Dubose be ready? Im thinl he can replicate that stat line and he showed he can also play specials.. the main job of the 6th WR.

Arthur Penske Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Welch didn't make it. Damnit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 DuBose didn't follow up the nice game vs CLE with much else. Heath offers just as much in the run game and ST, so I expect DuBose needed to clearly outperform Heath to make the 53. With this news that Heath made the cut, I am not expecting DuBose to make it.

Refugee Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I think believing Welch not clearing wavers is homerism. Most of his big splash plays came against very marginal competition. He did what he had to do to get noticed and maybe someone likes him at LB5 but I’d say he’s a good bet for the PS and can probably stay with family to save some money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Bill Hubner seems to think Pratt isn't coming back. I would be shocked due to his higher upside over Clifford. He thinks the Packers will put Clifford on the PS and have him dress as #2 QB for the time being whilst Willis settles in. https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/packers-release-sean-clifford-michael-pratt-after-acquiring-malik-willis-01j6adh13zef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is us Welch homers want him on the field, not the PS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that DuBose really struggles to get off the line of scrimmage when pressed and just needs more refinement. He also showed streaky hands and didn't produce in the final few preseason games. He just doesn't seem worthy of a spot yet. One more year on the PS and maybe he can stick next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 Who are the tough cuts yet to be made? Are there any? Every year we fret over a player who gets cut and every year we get that player back on practice squad. Who is it this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
