There’s no breakout preseason star waiting in the wings

at receiver this year for the Packers. We know the guys fighting for spots. The only question is how many Green Bay will eventually keep." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesAcme Packing Company homepageHorizontal - WhiteAcme Packing Companya Green Bay Packers communityFollow Acme Packing Company online:Follow Acme Packing Company on TwitterFollow Acme Packing Company on FacebookFollow Acme Packing Company on InstagramLog in or sign upLog InSign UpSite searchSearchSearchAcme Packing Company main menuFanpostsFanshotsSectionsPackersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 321 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShare this storyShare this on FacebookShare this on TwitterShareAll sharing optionsShareAll sharing options for:Packers 2019 Roster Predictions: Kumerow Antonio Morrison Jersey White , Davis force Green Bay to keep extra receiversTwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailTrevor Davis has legit speed and return ability, but hasn’t yet hit his stride as a receiver. Whether or not that happens should decide his fate on the 53. Photo by Peter G. Aiken/Getty ImagesIn 2019, the Green Bay Packers’ roster looks very different from how it appeared at the end of the 2018 season. A large group of free agents, draft picks, and undrafted rookies will come to training camp to challenge for roster spots and a role on the team’s regular season 53-man roster. Over the next two weeks, Acme Packing Company will break down the roster position-by-position and reveal our compiled predictions for the 53-man roster.The 2019 Packers’ receiver battle is less about “who” and more about “how many?” We know, more or less, who the guys in the mix will be. Unfortunately for the guys on the bottom of that list, there are seven legitimate names in the mix and Green Bay simply can’t afford to keep them all.Injuries often sort these things out, as they did last year with Jake Kumerow and Trevor Davis. That paved the way for J’Mon Moore to make the team despite an underwhelming (and that’s putting it diplomatically) training camp and preseason. Brian Gutekunst will have to balance special teams value, offensive impact Womens Marcedes Lewis Jersey , and position scarcity concerns. How many safeties or outside linebackers the Packers want to keep could end up being of greater import to the decision of how many receivers make the roster than the play on the field for these guys. It’s going to be so close, those sorts of factors on the margins could wind up deciding the final list. Here’s the APC’s prediction of how this plays out. Starters: Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Geronimo AllisonThe only debate here is the order and whether or not to include Allison in this list. For now—and that’s a big caveat—Valdes-Scantling has been running as the second receiver when there’s only been two on the field. Allison comes in for three receiver sets to play the slot. We can have interesting discussions about how the playing time will shake out between MVS and Allison, how often the Packers will even play three receivers, but that’s not for this space. This group of three will somehow make up the three priority targets in the passing game. Backups: Equanimeous St. Brown, Jake Kumerow, Trevor Davis Nothing beyond St. Brown on this list should be taken for granted. The 22-year-old ex-Notre Dame star showed enough in 2018 to earn his way back onto this roster as a potential future fixture in this offense with talent for days. On the other hand, Kumerow is the oldest of this group (in fact, he’s older than Adams), with limited special teams value and an undefined role in the offense. If the Packers can’t going to play three and four receivers often Womens Geronimo Allison Jersey , do they really believe he can make a big enough impact to justify rostering a receiver who can’t help them in the return game? We are banking on his chemistry with Aaron Rodgers and his Touchdown Jesus spirit to carry the day. Davis faces the opposite problem: he’s a special teams-only player with a nebulous offensive role. Matt LaFleur could certainly find a role for him as a bubble screen receiver who can run jet sweeps and take the top off a defense, but we’ve never seen him in such a role. Davis’ only defined niche on this team comes on special teams where he’s clearly the best returner the Packers have. Early praise from the coaching staff about his offensive abilities portend a good chance to make this roster if he follows through. <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="kLjmMq">Released: J’Mon Moore, Jawill Davis, Teo Redding, Darrius Shepherd We are not anti-Moore at APC; this is simply a numbers game. He would have to become so much better at receiver to get into the mix, it’s natural to be dubious of his ability to get there. We simply haven’t seen it. That’s not to say he can’t do it. It’s also worth nothing he just missed out in our voting, and this author did have him on the roster because his development and upside is worth missing out on whatever short-term continuity the team would get from Kumerow. If he plays well, he’ll make the team and if he doesn’t, no one has to worry about him sneaking onto the practice squad. He’ll make it. Davis may not make the 53 in Green Bay, but don’t be surprised if he also ends up on the practice squad, particularly with his return ability and athleticism. If it’s not with the Packers Jaire Alexander Jersey White , he’ll likely end up on a roster somewhere. The same can’t be said for Redding and Shepherd who are simply fringe NFL players based on what we’ve seen to this point.Packers’ season-long penalty plague reached another low in Detroit Despite the many tactical and rule changes the game of football has seen since its inception, a common theme has prevailed in that the most disciplined team usually has the best chance of winning a football game. And on Sunday, the Green Bay Packers once again were not that team.One would have to go back to November 13, 2016 for the last time Green Bay was penalized 12 times in a single contest. Much like the Packers’ ugly 31-23 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, the game two years ago also resulted in a humiliating defeat, a final score of 47-25 at the hands of the Tennessee Titans.For the Packers of 2018, this was a new low in what has been a simply excruciating season filled with yellow pieces of cloth. Green Bay ranks just behind Pittsburgh and Kansas City for most penalties in the NFL in the early going with 43 total penalties for a whopping 413 total yards. But really, it was just two weeks ago that Green Bay was penalized 11 times on the road in Washington. While it has not been pretty regardless of location, the Packers’ first two road games have now resulted in a combined 23 flags for 227 yards.Rightly so, the Packers have been criticized for getting off to slow starts this season and struggling to close games on defense. But of the Packers 43 penalties in five games this season, 11 have been called in the first quarter and 20 in the fourth quarter. Those totals certainly are not a recipe for successfor starting and finishing a football game. At Detroit Womens Montravius Adams Jersey , Green Bay continued to struggle in those quarters, committing half of its penalties in those two 15-minute segments.The timing and impact of those penalties loomed notably large against the Lions.On Sunday, a staggering five penalties came from special teams. While Mason Crosby’s field goal woes provided the storyline on a gloomy day, the errors masked Green Bay’s slew of return penalties that ruined the field position battle and wiped out a long kickoff return from Ty Montgomery. Later, a roughing the kicker penalty from Kevin King on an extra point attempt played a pivotal role in a horrendous ensuing kickoff that saw the Packers start the drive from within their own 15-yard line. Putting the icing on the cake was an offsides penalty on the onside kick attempt in the closing seconds. Green Bay’s inability to consistently get three-and-outs on defense has been a disadvantage this season and special teams penalties only increased that struggle on Sunday.Speaking of defense, Green Bay did make a crucial third-down stand midway through the fourth quarter. But an impressive defensive pass breakup from Tony Brown was negated by Brown’s own taunting call that not only left the Packer defense on the field, but led to the Lions’ put-away scoring drive. That was just one of Green Bay’s hideous four penalties of the personal foul/unsportsmanlike conduct variety on Sunday.While not a personal foul, Aaron Rodgers also committed a 16-yard intentional grounding penalty in the second quarter as the team faced a game-changing third-and-goal situation. The distance would end up playing a significant role in a third missed Mason Crosby field goal. Although the offense limited its penalties to just three in the game, the Rodgers’ miscue proved costly.In the end, penalties, especially the 15-yard types http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-jamaal-williams-jersey , often come down to coaching. For the Packers, discipline-related penalties have been an ongoing struggle. During the 2016 season, Green Bay was second in the league with seven unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. While the Packers controversially lead the league in roughing the passer penalties this season with five, there have been several rightly called. It is alarming that such technical issues persist from season to season.In his post-game press conference, Head Coach Mike McCarthy alluded to the dissatisfaction with penalties and mental mistakes. “At the end of the day it’s about winning ball,” McCarthy said. “We didn’t do enough to win today. We’ll focus on the things that went wrong that we can control and we had too many of those today.”It is not time to hit the panic button yet, but another week cannot go by without McCarthy and his staff indeed focusing on the team’s penalty blues.
