I Was Going To Post A Video Here, But…
Aug 18th
Some time ago, the official site of the Green Bay Packers was redesigned. Someone told me it looked slick and I agreed that it did look decent. The only problem is it doesn’t work for shit. It’s like I ordered an escort that looks like Kim Kardashian and they sent over Khloe with a paper [...]
Al Harris Could Return Next Week
Aug 17th
Brad Biggs is reporting that Green Bay Packers cornerback Al Harris could begin practicing next week. Harris has been on the PUP list since the beginning of training camp, while he continues to rehabilitate a torn ACL. According to a league source, Harris could be cleared to return to practice as soon as Monday. He’d [...]
Does Sam Shields Have A Shot With The Packers?
Aug 17th
A lot of people like undrafted rookie free agent cornerback Sam Shields. He’s not only received a lot of coverage in the media, but both coaches and players have gone out of their way to praise his playmaking ability and his commitment to learning the game. Shields has blazing speed and as they say, you [...]
Brett Favre: Forgotten
Aug 16th
I think I’ll just let the photo do the talking. But not before adding, I love it. From As Seen In WI.
Packers Have A Little Work To Do On Defense
Aug 16th
We don’t put a lot of stock in preseason football, but it’s clear after the Green Bay Packers 27-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Saturday night the Packers defense needs to address some issues. By the time the starters departed in the second quarter, the Browns had a 21-14 lead. The game seems eerily [...]
Finley Thinks Chmura Is Jealous
Aug 15th
Former Green Bay Packers tight end Mark Chmura called current Packers tight end Jermichael Finley a moron during his weekly radio show last week. Chmura was irritated by comments Finley made after the Packers scrimmage, last Saturday. During an interview, Finley yelled “Super Bowl” and “Dallas, Texas,” which is where this year’s Super Bowl will [...]
Madden Likes The Packers
Aug 14th
I don’t usually pay much attention to stuff like this, but I found it interesting that in a simulation of the 2010 season on Madden 11, the Green Bay Packers fared pretty well. In the simulation, the Packers finished with a 12-4 record and won the NFC North. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was named NFL MVP [...]
Havner Back At Linebacker
Aug 12th
Spencer Havner was a linebacker in college and spent his first couple years in the NFL at the same position before switching to tight end prior to last season. Havner looked like he had found a home at tight end — entering training camp No. 2 on the depth chart — and had carved out [...]
Just So You Know: A.J. Hawk Is Suddenly The Man
Aug 12th
Listen up people, this is the year Green Bay Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk, the fifth player chosen in the 2006 NFL Draft, finally breaks through and turns into the playmaking force he was supposed to be coming out of college. That’s right, this is A.J. Hawk’s year. You knew there would be some of this [...]
A Look At The Packers Depth Chart
Aug 11th
The Green Bay Packers have released their first depth chart, which gives us a good idea of who is and who isn’t performing well. It also sheds some light on who is playing where. On the offensive side of the ball there aren’t any big surprises. Most notable is that Donald Lee has regained the [...]
Packers Add Linebacker, Josh Bell To IR
Aug 10th
The Green Bay Packers did indeed add a linebacker to the mix today, but not anyone of note. The Packers were forced to make a move after Clay Matthews went down with a hamstring injury on Saturday. Only six of the 11 linebackers on the roster practiced yesterday. Matthews is expected to be out at [...]
Jermichael Finley Is A Moron
Aug 10th
This, according to former Green Bay Packers tight end Mark Chmura, who has made a questionable decision or two himself. Chmura has repeatedly called Jermichael Finley a moron on his radio show. “He is a great player, but he is a moron.” Chmura said Sunday during his gig as a host on ESPN Radio 540. [...]
Injuries Starting To Take A Toll On Packers
Aug 10th
It’s better to have to deal with injuries the second week of training camp than it is to deal with injuries during the regular season, but the Green Bay Packers appear to have reached a critical mass. Coach Mike McCarthy had to call practice early on Monday because the Packers have so many injuries. They [...]
Packers Throw Bulaga In Mix At Left Guard
Aug 9th
Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy is nothing if not consistent. Every year, he speaks of the importance of continuity along the offensive line and then shuffles guys all over the place once training camp starts in order to assure there will be no continuity. True to form, the Packers moved first-round draft choice Bryan [...]
Return Game Outlook: Hazy
Aug 9th
Green Bay Packers training camp is pretty boring if you’re looking for real competition. The biggest and closest competition is at punter and the only real positional battle, at least for a starting spot, looks to be between Brandon Chillar and Brad Jones for the left outside linebacker spot. Not terribly exciting stuff. So, if [...]
Colledge Has Inside Track At Left Guard
Aug 7th
Despite his terrible 2009 season, Green Bay Packers left guard Daryn Colledge appears to have the inside track on the left guard spot he was supposed to compete with Jason Spitz for. As much as anything, the situation seems to be a symptom of the coaching staff shuffling Spitz between multiple positions, which is something [...]
Driver Gets Two-Year Extension
Aug 6th
I thought it was a joke at first, but the Green Bay Packers have indeed given Donald Driver, their 35-year-old wide receiver, a two-year contract extension. Driver was in the final year of his current deal, in which he was scheduled to earn $4 million in base salary and a $2.8 million roster bonus. Terms [...]
Chillar Could Start At Outside Linebacker
Aug 6th
I didn’t give it a second thought when I heard the Green Bay Packers were using inside linebacker Brandon Chillar at outside linebacker. After all, the team has been experimenting a lot with their linebackers. I mean, they’ve tried 300-pound defensive end Cullen Jenkins at outside linebacker for Christ’s sake. Chillar is a different story, [...]
Lambeau Field Will Not Host Big Ten Championship
Aug 6th
Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy did a bit a grandstanding in the media about how Lambeau Field would be the perfect place to host the inaugural Big Ten title game in 2011, and formally threw the venerable stadium into the mix as a potential site, several weeks ago. Well, the Big Ten didn’t give [...]
Training Camp Observations, Aug 5, Full Pads
Aug 5th
Here’s a quick look at Green Bay Packers training camp from Aug. 5. Breno Giacomini running with the No. 2 offense Maybe this is due in part to T.J. Lang being a little banged up, but Breno Giacomini has been lining up with the second-string offense at right tackle and even lined up with first [...]
