Daryn Colledge’s Days at Left Tackle Are Over, T.J. Lang Elevated

Posted in offensive line | No comments
One item that was seemingly lost on most everyone outside of the Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein, who mentioned it in passing, is that Green Bay Packers starting left guard Daryn Colledge won’t be playing left tackle anymore, regardless of what happens to starter Chad Clifton. Colledge filled in for Clifton at left tackle the past [...]

Well, I told you the Green Bay Packers were about to get healthy. Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and stud wide receiver Calvin Johnson both missed practice again on Friday. This was the second day Stafford has missed practice this week. Johnson hasn’t practiced at all. Both players are battling knee injuries and are unlikely [...]

We haven’t seen a psychic, but it doesn’t take much to know that Green Bay Packers’ history will be made when the Packers face the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Donald Driver needs one catch to surpass Sterling Sharpe as the Green Bay Packers all-time leader in receptions. The last time Driver didn’t catch a pass [...]
Brett Favre – Open Mouth, Insert Foot

Remember who Brett Favre’s best team is? Nope, it isn’t the 1996 Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers that featured Reggie White, Keith Jackson, Antonio Freeman, Sean Jones, LeRoy Butler, etc., etc. It’s this year’s version of the Minnesota Vikings – at least that’s what he told us earlier this week. Not surprisingly, there were [...]

Straight out of the Truth is Stranger Than Fiction Files comes this: a woman who was transporting a purple, spray-painted goat with Brett Favre’s number 4 shaved into it was found guilty on Tuesday. The goat was tied up in the trunk of her car. Guilty of stupidity. Actually, as part of plea deal, 21-year-old [...]
It’s True – Deanna Favre Loves Us As Much As We Love Her

I’m not really one to throw a guy’s wife under the bus for his petty, ignorant, disgusting decisions, but let’s be honest with ourselves – Deanna Favre had just as much to do with Brett Favre leaving the Green Bay Packers and eventually winding up with the Minnesota Vikings as Brett Favre did. You know [...]
Greg Jennings: Just Give Me the Damn Ball!

Taking a page out of Keyshawn Johnson’s book, Green Bay Packers’ receiver Greg Jennings has put the team on notice: just give me the damn ball! Actually, those weren’t Jennings’ exact words – that’s the title of Keyshawn’s book – but the sentiment was the same. Jennings, who has a measly 11 catches for 240 [...]

It was refreshing to hear a member of the Green Bay Packers address the elephant in the room, yesterday. “Nobody’s happy where we’re at right now. Nobody. We’re 2-2, man. That’s not good. We have too much talent to be 2-2. Too many people care to be 2-2,” nose tackle Ryan Pickett said. This came [...]

I’m not talking about the injuries that have plagued the Green Bay Packers thus far, although the return of safety Atari Bigby and left tackle Chad Clifton to the staring lineup can only help, I’m talking about the schedule. The Packers are about to go into what is shaping up as the easiest portion of [...]

Although reports on the terms of the contract aren’t available yet, Mark Tauscher is officially a member of the Green Bay Packers again. Tauscher’s signing was announced this morning. Tauscher worked out with the team last Tuesday and we knew a deal was imminent since then. Tauscher will have to work himself back into playing [...]
Thompson Criticized For Not Adding Free Agents

Probably not a surprise that Green Bay Packers GM Ted Thompson is being criticized for not adding more free agents during the offseason, since most of us criticize him for just such a thing on a regular basis. However, the source of the criticism may be somewhat surprising – scouts and NFL front office personnel [...]
Ted Thompson: Packers Should Be Better

Posted in Ted Thompson | 2 comments
Well, here’s an assessment from Ted Thompson that I think we can all agree with, for once – the Green Bay Packers should be better. “The preseason and the regular season are a whole different kettle of fish, but yeah, I would have thought we would have played a little bit better starting out,” Thompson [...]

So far this season, trying to find one of the Packers linebackers in the middle of a play is like trying to locate Waldo in a picture with a thousand guys who are wearing red and white striped shirts and hats. The Green Bay Packers came into the season with what looked like one of [...]

Or we’ll fucking stab you. It really was inevitable, I guess. Idiot fans of other NFL teams not named the Green Bay Packers like to talk shit. They like to talk shit when the Packers lose, because, among other things, the knowledge of a Packers fans greatly surpasses their own. They like to talk shit [...]
Aaron Kampman is Potential Trade Bait

With the NFL trade deadline around the corner (October 20), it seems to be increasingly apparent that the Green Bay Packers are willing to listen to offers for, or may even be shopping, outside linebacker Aaron Kampman. Before you fly off the handle, this move would make sense for the Packers in a number of [...]

Yeah, we know. Jared Allen can play football. He can also take douchebaggery to new heights, and he’s done it once again. We know about the mullet, we know about the red-neckery, we know about the nonsense that comes out of his mouth on a regular basis. In fact, we detailed this in our first [...]

Craigslist. You can find all kinds of good things there – a used air conditioner, concert tickets, a whore, etc. We’re not sure you can find offensive linemen there, though. But hey, why shouldn’t the Green Bay Packers give it a shot at this point? The Packers offensive line has been mediocre this season at [...]

It should come as no surprise to anyone who saw the play during Monday night’s Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings game that Will Blackmon is out for the year. Blackmon tore his ACL on a second-quarter kickoff return and will be placed on injured reserve. Jordy Nelson will fill in for Blackmon on kick returns, [...]

One of the easy potential solutions to the Green Bay Packers’ woes along the offensive line seemed to be to bring veteran right tackle Mark Tauscher back – if and when he was fully recovered from the knee injury he suffered last season. Well, that appears to be the case. The Journal Sentinel is reporting [...]
Packers Fate Rests on Shoulders of Offensive Line

It’s become readily apparent once again after the Green Bay Packers loss to the Minnesota Vikings that the Packers’ fate this season rests largely on the shoulders of their offensive line. The line has been terrible this season. Terrible. So bad, in fact, that they’ve given up 20 sacks in four games – the most [...]
