Packers Tender Blackmon, Williams; Colledge Has Competition
Mar 2nd
The Green Bay Packers used the original-round tender on cornerback Will Blackmon, who is returning from a knee injury. The tender is for $1.176 million and gives the Packers the right to match any offer Blackmon receives. If Blackmon signs with another team, the Packers would receive a fourth-round draft pick. Meanwhile, cornerback Tramon Williams, [...]
Packers Top Free Agent Priority: Ryan Pickett
Feb 3rd
Some interesting tidbits have come out about the Green Bay Packers free agent priorities in the past week. Although he’s clearly their top player without a contract for the 2010 season, safety Nick Collins is not at the top of the Packers’ list of players to resign. The main reason is Collins will be a [...]
Most of Packers Offensive Line Under Scrutiny This Offseason
Jan 29th
With the way the Green Bay Packers offensive line performed during the 2009 season, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that three of the five spots are likely to be in flux this offseason. Chad Clifton’s left tackle spot was a weakness for most of the season and right tackle was a major problem until [...]
Ranking The Green Bay Packers’ Free Agents
Dec 15th
The Green Bay Packers have 18 players in their contract year after Monday’s resigning of linebacker Brandon Chillar. However, the situation isn’t as dire as it may look. The collective bargaining agreement – the agreement between the owners and player’s association that dictates the rules of the salary cap, free agency, guaranteed spending, rookie salaries, [...]
Five Reasons To Be Excited About The Green Bay Packers
Nov 29th
Yesterday, we took a look at five reasons not to be excited about the Green Bay Packers, making the argument that the team has major flaws that may haunt them down the stretch and into the playoffs. That said, we fully expect the Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs. However, this isn’t a team [...]
Packers Offense Gets Into Some Finger Pointing
Nov 13th
Well, we knew this was coming because it already happened through the media, with both Cullen Jenkins and Charles Woodson calling out Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers. Now, it appears, members of that Packers offense are pointing fingers at each other, in what guard Daryn Colledge terms a “come-to-Jesus meeting.” Maybe that means [...]
It Doesn’t Take Much to Get to Aaron Rodgers
Nov 12th
Seriously. It doesn’t take much to get to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Of the league-leading 37 sacks the Packers have given up this season, only six have been recorded when opposing teams blitz. That’s only 16 percent. In other words, the recipe for shutting down the Packers offense is pretty simple – send [...]
Packers Sack Total Likely to Increase, But Cowboys Aren’t All That
Nov 11th
This week, the Green Bay Packers will face a stouter defensive foe than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in the form of the Dallas Cowboys. During the Cowboys current four-game winning streak, it has been their defense that has stepped up after not playing up to expectations during the beginning of the season. That’s bad news [...]
Injuries May Help Packers Find Their Real Offensive Line
Oct 28th
It’s been well documented. The Green Bay Packers have struggled on the offensive line this season. The Packers offensive linemen have given up an inordinate amount of sacks (25), committed far too many penalties and haven’t done much to help the struggling ground game. That is, until they played the Cleveland Browns last Sunday. The [...]
Daryn Colledge’s Days at Left Tackle Are Over, T.J. Lang Elevated
Oct 16th
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 [...]
Packers Fate Rests on Shoulders of Offensive Line
Oct 6th
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 [...]
Penalties, Sacks and Turnovers Key to Packers Loss
Oct 6th
About the only thing the Green Bay Packers did right in their ugly 30-23 loss to the Vikings in the MetroBarn last night was hold Adrian Peterson to 55 yards rushing. Peterson did score once, but was held to an average of just 2.2 yards per rush, which is no small feat considering he’s racked [...]
Injuries Will Play Huge Roll for Packers the Next Two Weeks
Sep 24th
Each year in the NFL, the most successful teams do one of two things — they either don’t have injuries, or they overcome injuries. That’s not to say that those successful teams don’t also have other things in common – they have positive turnover margins, they limit penalties, etc. But without fail, they do one [...]
The Green Bay Packers Are Bad
Sep 21st
There, I said it. The Green Bay Packers are bad, and it’s depressing. It’s become pretty apparent why the Green Bay Packers are bad, too, after a 31-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals at Lambeau Field. This is a Bengals team that scored seven points last week against the Denver Broncos. That’s seven points against [...]
Packers Offensive Line Set
Aug 25th
True to his word the Packers offensive line wouldn’t be a work in progress like it was during the 2008 season, coach Mike McCarthy has chosen his starting unit. They are, from left to right, Chad Clifton, Daryn Colledge, Jason Spitz, Josh Sitton, and Allen Barbre. Sptiz, Sitton and Barbre are all new starters at [...]
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 [...]
Daryn Colledge: Right Wing Pundit
Oct 10th
I know this isn’t a political blog, but if a member of the Green Bay Packers says something, I’m allowed to comment on it. Besides, with the Packers trainwreck of a season tumbling off the bridge and into the ravine, I need something else to talk about. I’ll keep it brief. Sarah Palin has the [...]
Jarrett Bush – You’re Cut!
Aug 18th
From the “I Got 99 Problems But a Bitch Ain’t One” file came this past Saturday night’s preseason loss (34-6) to the disgustingly bad (5-11, last year) San Francisco 49ers. First, having witnessed this debacle first hand, I have to say, Jarrett Bush – you’re cut! It seemed each time I looked up from my [...]
