Im also stunned that the Packers cut rookie Tyrell Sutton as a RB and elected to go with 3 FB instead. McCarthy and Thompson have me shaking my head sometimes. Also Ruvell martin was let go...pretty serviceable #3 WR, but that really just goes to the ridiculous depth they have at that position.

I think Sutton is just another one of those guys who impressives everything in training camp and then does nothing in the regualr season. pack ahve gone through a ton of them lately. First it was Ingle Martin, who many pegged as the heir apprante to Favre, not Rodgers. Sakom Gado had everyone excited, and it was Abdul hodge a few years ago. I remember tons of packer fans that actually wanted to trade Nick Barnett because they liked Hodge so much.
Sutton did great against 2 and 3 defense's but only so so against the 1s. He is also not a very good blocker at all so doesn't make great sense as a backup. I'd like to see him get on the PS, but I dont' think its a big deal he was cut.
I'm a little suprised about Martin, but the development of Finley means Martin as the red zone threat is gone and thats really all they kept him for. Swain has a little more versatility so I like that move. Meredith was actualy the bigger suprise for me but I think he'll wind up on the PS.
I don't really agree with the 3 full backs either, but I think they are overcompensating for special teams. Special teams was so bad for them last year they are trying too hard to improve it. I think they also like Johnson's upside too much.
I think Brohm will make the PS as apparantly they shopped him and no team wanted him. I do agree thy need a backup. I'd be ok with Garcia, but I don't think the Pack nor Garcia will be.
