Your Green Bay Packers: Telling It Like It Is
Atari Bigby
Antrel Rolle Could Be on Packers Radar
Feb 17th
Arizona Cardinals’ free safety Antrel Rolle is a name that’s probably on the Green Bay Packers radar.
Why, you ask? Rolle is under contract with the Cardinals.
Well, that contract isn’t going to fly in Arizona. Rolle is due $8 million in base salary and a $4 million roster bonus on March 5. Although Rolle was a [...]
Is Atari Bigby the Packers’ Bob Sanders?
Oct 30th
Remember the 2006 Indianapolis Colts?
Thanks primarily to Peyton Manning’s arm, the Colts started 9-0 despite giving up more than 20 points per game. They were Super Bowl favorites until their defense collapsed down the stretch and they finished the year 3-4.
Analysts attributed the team’s defensive struggles to the absence of safety Bob Sanders, who [...]
Packers Inexplicably Cut Aaron Rouse
Sep 23rd
If you’re team is dangerously thin at safety, what do you do? Cut one of your remaining safeties and sign one who has never played in your system, thats what. At least if you’re Ted Thompson.
The Packers Defensive Resurgence Begins on the Line and a Few Other Notes
Sep 16th
No, it wasn’t lost on us. We pointed out how well the Green Bay Packers defense played in week one both during the game and in the aftermath.
That, however, has been somewhat lost in the blather surrounding the terrible performance of the Packers offensive line.
It should be noted, though, that both Cullen Jenkins and Johnny [...]
Atari Bigby has Competition, A.J. Hawk’s Role Diminishing
Sep 1st
In what looks to be the one true battle remaining in training camp, the Green Bay Packers seem undecided on who start at safety opposite Nick Collins.
Atari Bigby, who is coming off of major offseason ankle surgery, was projected to be that guy. However, free agent signee Anthony Smith has outplayed Bigby in almost every [...]
Green Bay Packers: 5 Reasons for Excitement
Jul 1st
With training camp beginning at the end of the month, I am starting to get excited for the upcoming Green Bay Packers season.
Since we’re in the down time between the Packers mini-camp and training camp, I figured now is as good a time as any to get you excited too.
There are some very good reasons [...]

Jun 12th
![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_b.png?x-id=5e88a06b-899d-4ede-b2b6-4c1eb5b12586)
Anthony Smith, whom the Green Bay Packers picked up as a free agent this offseason, may find himself in the hunt for a starting safety spot when training camp opens.
Smith has been lining up with the Packers No. 1 defense during OTAs, which means absolutely nothing other than last year’s starters, Atari Bigby and Nick [...]

Before we reveal our list of free agency demands for 2009, let’s take a look at the Packers own free agents. The most substantial name [...]
Vikings vs. Packers: Who Sucked and Who Didn’t (guess which list is longer…)
Nov 10th
Every week the Packers are starting to look more and more like a team that simply won’t live up to the expectations. Yesterday, the Packers lost yet another close game to an inferior opponent.
The Packers should be better than this. Maybe it’s time to accept that they just aren’t very good and likely won’t be [...]
On To More Important Things, Like the Tennessee Titans
Oct 27th
Enough with the Brett Favre bullshit. I am exhausted and I’m letting it go.
Let’s talk about more important things, like next week’s opponent, the Tennessee Titans, who face the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football. The Titans are 6-0 going into a home game against a pretty average (and one we demolished 34-14 a little [...]
Bigby Returns, Law Wants In
Oct 17th
Safety Atari Bigby finally returned to the practice field Thursday, after being sidelined with a balky hamstring since the week 2 game against the Detroit Lions.
Bigby didn’t do a hell of a lot on his first day back – going through “limited practice” – but has a chance to play this weekend against the Colts.
Another [...]
