I get the love for ozigbo but it wasn’t that much of a surprise cut. Washington was better at many aspects, knows the playbook and is a good special teams player. Rodgers also looked better running the ball than ozigbo. I liked his potential but he is a guy that should make it to the PS. What I didn’t like is how bad he looked when taking contact, he wasn’t the power back that’s falling forward and getting tough yards, he was getting blown up by hits from 2nd string guys... doesn’t he weigh 230?

Maybe it’s cause I rarely watched a game into the 4th quarter, but Ozigbo didn’t drop my jaw like a GMC tailgate.

Somebody help me

He does fall forward a lot. It's his way of getting another couple of yards since he doesn't have the ability to break it. Washington isn't sexy either but, he is a better athlete and has proven experience. Totally with Payton on this one.

Yea the more I think about it I think we get stuck in that “route for the underdog” mentality and forget that camp beasts aren’t as smart of a bet as seasoned veterans. For all we know some of these young guys could **** their pants when the lights go on.
We also need to remember that they play against equal or inferior talent during pre season.
Hated to see Butler go the most but it is what it is. Really wanted to see him on the field with the first team. Wish we would have kept a 3 rd TE though.

You can argue Washington I wouldn't say it's definitive. But you're crazy if you Rodgers ran better than Ozigbo
