Robinson Released

WR Koren Robinson was released by the Packers on May 9th, 2008. The reason I hear is that one of his knees is practically bone-on-bone contact right now. I hope the best for Robinson as he is still a recovering alcoholic and he did a very admirable job while on the Packers team the past couple seasons. This move put our 2nd round pick WR Jordy Nelson in prime position to fill Robinson's shoes as the number 4 WR on the team. With our spread packages on offense Nelson should got decent playin time barring an injury this year, a good way for a rookie wideout to start his career.

Punter Ken DeBauche could challenge Jon Ryan for the punters job. He was solid at Wisconsin in college and has experience in Wisconsin weather as far as kicking goes. I'd place my bets on Ryan due to his experience, but DeBauche creates more competition (a Ted Thompson favorite).

RB Justin Beaver was a nice story during the camps but was not offered a contract, but could ultimately end up as a practice squad player.

The Packers were rated #10 on ESPN's Power Rankings, the biggest fall of all teams since the Super Bowl (due to Brett Favre's retirement). But Chris Carter said the were a team to watch out for due to the completeness of the team and the possibility of Aaron Rodgers being a capable QB to lead the team. It is silly to rank the teams but we as fans love it, and I think we are still a top team in the NFC and will earn a playoff spot probably by winning the division.
