Here's an oddity to conclude the Bronson Hill era.
Anybody notice #36 was playing both offense and defense late in the preseason games? Who was this 2-way wonder?
It was Bronson Hill and Raven Greene, both wearing that number. When you have to share a number your prospects do not look good. I have to say, though, Greene did not look all that bad; he might have a shot at the PS.

Ripkowski cut

That's surprising. They might keep Kerridge or find another name. Another possibility is they ditch the FB concept altogher and use Lewis as an H-back.
If they ditch the FB concept, they're going to need another running back besides Williams/Montgomery for at least 2 games since Ripkowski has served as an emergency RB.

Woah....
Keeping a boat load of tight ends.....
That's a bold move. I like the direction..... More pass orientated. Lead blocking fullbacks don't make much sense in a pass first offense. I like it.

The punt return fumble against KC may have done him in. Ball security is high on the McCarthy priority list. Ask Devante Mays.
That said, nobody esle looked any d*mn good returning punts or kickoffs with Davis the best option at both positions. It's hard to see who they have in mind.

That's surprising as I fully expected Ripkowski to make the team.

This doesn't surprise me at all. Didn't he fumble twice in his first 3 carries last year? I forgot to tape the Chiefs game, so I haven't seen what he did Thursday night. But nothing I saw him do prior impressed me.
I was going to list this yesterday as a "don't be surprised if....."
I thought I read something last year on Rip and the fact that his play had been disappointing. He failed on a couple of blocking assignments and his carries (5) VS 2016 (34) were obviously way down.

Well, McCarthy loaded up with TEs around mid-decade looking to transition to the H-back concept. Quarless, Ryan Taylor and Richard Rodgers were tried in that backfield role. None of them could run block from that spot, not that any of them were very good run blockers in-line to start with. McCarthy was trying to shake the FB concept and couldn't get it to work, so Kuhn was kept on and then Ripkowski took his spot.
We'll see if this is a shot at second time's the charm. Lewis is a better in-line blocker than any of those H-back guys in their dreams so perhaps he's the FB substitute on the few occasions they need one. That might leave open a spot for Tonyan with Kendricks kept around.

I'm surprised by that. I thought he looked pretty decent. Martini cut too which was not a surprise to me. Perhaps Josh Jones is the Burks backup.

A bit of a surprise, but good to see that Gute isn't just hanging onto players that decent draft capital was spent on, in hopes that they will pan out someday.

I think they should have given him a shot at ILB. C'est la vie.

Guessing he is still eligible for the PS, so his story line in GB may not be over yet.

Or it could be the other way around. Perhaps certain guys are perceived as having hit their ceiling and it is not good enough. Instead, they go with other guys who might pan out some day.
Something tells me they're looking at some vets to pick up from cut downs.

True. You're allowed 4 PS guys who have been on a roster for 2 full seasons. There are a lot of possibilities around the league that fit that criteria.

You could be right. I think Gute has already shown that unlike TT, he isn't going to just hang on to what now appears to be bad investments and hope they pan out. I would put that down as one of my least favorite things that TT seemed to do. I posted yesterday, it won't surprise me one bit if we see some new faces on the Packers roster or PS by the end of the day.
