The Packers Defensive Resurgence Begins on the Line and a Few Other Notes

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.

Packers Preseason Finale and What It Meant

The Green Bay Packers largely went into Nashville last night and stunk up the joint, getting drubbed by the Tennessee Titans, 27-13.
The No. 1 offense played only one series, and the No. 1 defense did about the same, although linebackers Nick Barnett, Clay Matthews and Jeremy Thompson – all of whom saw their first preseason [...]

Packers and B.J. Raji Reach a Deal

Update: Raji’s deal is reportedly worth $28.5 million over five years. The Packers ponied up just under $18 million in guaranteed money.

B.J. Raji Deal Closer, Michael Vick Rumors Persist

Raji, who played [...]

Positional Notes: Kampman, Barbre and Raji Looking for a Fit

We know more about this year’s version of Green Bay Packers now that the team’s first mini-camp has concluded.
It has been well documented that former Packers defensive end turned outside linebacker Aaron Kampman has been a bit uneasy about the position change this offseason. First, he wouldn’t even discuss it. When he finally did talk [...]
