[tps_title]Chris Banjo[/tps_title]
Chris Banjo is the most “who the fuck is this guy” of a group of “who the fuck are these guys.”
He’s a safety and we pretty much know nothing about him, which is making a statement. He’s another street free agent, who, much like DuJuan Harris couldn’t catch on with the shittiest team in the league — the Jacksonville Jaguars — last season.
But don’t let that stop you Chris Banjo!
This dude was all over the place in the Packers third preseason game. Even after we stopped paying attention, we heard the name Chris Banjo a bunch of times.
With Sean Richardson’s career in doubt because of a neck injury, this guy could very well be the Packers fourth safety. That doesn’t mean he’ll see the field outside of special teams, but unless he tanks in the final preseason game, it will be hard not to give Banjo a roster spot.

I agree Mulumba has shown flashes. What he needs to do is not lose that desire. I’m thinking of guys like Zombo, Dezman Moses, etc who looked good for one freaking year, then went in the tank for whatever reason.
Zombo got hurt pretty bad. It’s a shame, because the guy played hard, and has a great name.
My question would be: if you are going to bring in someone to just block, why not put an extra T out on those plays? Would it be too obvious? Is Mulligan like a back-up T that has better hands than, say, Newhouse?
Flexibility if Rodgers calls an audible, or wants to send Mulligan in motion, I can’t recall ever seeing an o-linemen go in motion. It may also create some hesitancy on the defense as to whether the play is a pass or run, even if Mulligan isn’t a major pass-catching threat (Crabtree wasn’t either) I’d contend he’s a better receiver than Newhouse. That being said, having 2 TEs or a known blocking TE in the formation is usually a good indicator you’re going to run.
maybe they can ride to the stadium together on game day in one of those tiny electric cars. they pull up to Lambeau and everybody starts popping out……
Good write up and I agree w/every one. Mulligan as we see above has his doubters still. Newhouse can’t run block to save his life, so no you want Mulligan in there. He essentially replaces Crabtree. Throw in Bostic and butter-fingered Williams, and there’s your TE group. Kuhn makes it, too, especially now that Harris is on IR.
I am fine with Kuhn making the roster as long as they never, fucking ever, hand off the ball to him again. Ever!
