Like the Green Bay Packers, We Fucking Rule!
Apr 3rd
There are very few things in life that come close to the Green Bay Packers. Good whiskey and hot broads are really the only two things that come to mind. With that in mind, we sometimes like to combine some of our favorite things here at Total Packers. I mean, hell, I’m soused on whiskey [...]
Packers Have Faith In Jackson, But It’s Unclear Why
Apr 3rd
No one will probably ever use the term dynamic to describe the Green Bay Packers’ running game under Mike McCarthy. Ryan Grant is solid, but unspectacular. His backups have been a collection of nondescript guys who typically don’t see much time on the field and that goes for the Packers’ No. 2 runner Brandon Jackson, [...]
Packers Insiders Gets A New Look… From Us
Apr 2nd
You know them, you love them… or at least tolerate them. They’re the Green Bay Packers’ Insiders! As a single man they would be nothing, but together, they form a Voltron-like unit with one mission – kicking ass! Or maybe it’s Packers’ journalism. I don’t recall. They are… Rob Demovsky – POW! Mike Vandermause – [...]
What Can the Packers Expect at No. 23?
Apr 2nd
The Green Bay Packers hold the 23rd selection in the 2010 NFL Draft and while there are hundreds if not thousands of mock drafts predicting the Packers will select this player or that player, we’re going to completely ignore those and look at the 23rd selection from a different angle. We’re much more interested in [...]
Havner Signs Tender, Reports To Green Bay
Apr 1st
Green Bay Packers tight end Spencer Havner, who is recovering from a broken bone in his shoulder suffered in a reported drunk driving incident, has signed his tender and joined the Packers offseason conditioning program. Havner, who caught four touchdowns in 2009, was an exclusive rights free agent. Although Havner won’t be able to do [...]
The Packers Tale Of Two Lines
Apr 1st
The Green Bay Packers’ offensive line was bad in 2009 – a statement most people would agree with. It’s the reason the Packers are potentially looking for new starters at several positions this offseason. That statement doesn’t tell the full story, though. The Packers’ offensive line was raked over the coals largely because they gave [...]
Packers’ 2010 Preseason Schedule Released
Mar 31st
The Green Bay Packers’ 2010 preseason schedule has been released and it is highlighted by a nationally televised contest with the defending AFC Champion Indianapolis Colts. Specific dates and times have not been announced, with the exception of the Colts’ game, but the Packers’ preseason schedule shapes up as follows. Aug. 12-16 – Cleveland Browns [...]
New Umpire Rule May Have Changed Packers’ Playoff Fate
Mar 31st
Earlier this month the NFL announced they are moving umpires from the defensive side of the ball to the offensive backfield in 2010. The move was made to protect umpires, but it’s a move Green Bay Packers’ coach Mike McCarthy thinks could have affected the outcome of the Packers playoff game with the Arizona Cardinals, [...]
Another Packer Headed To Minnesota
Mar 29th
Former Green Bay Packers defensive end Michael Montgomery passed a physical Monday and agreed to terms with the Minnesota Vikings after spending a day visiting with team officials, the Star-Tribune’s Judd Zulgad reports. He is the second free agent of note to join the Vikings this offseason, joining kickoff specialist Rhys Lloyd. A sixth-round pick by [...]
What Is Packers’ Biggest Need?
Mar 29th
The Green Bay Packers have several glaring holes this offseason – offensive line, cornerback and safety among them – but I’ve been wavering as to which is the most troublesome. Offensive tackle is the obvious answer, but the cornerback position is an increasing concern on par with, if not greater than, the tackle position. The [...]
McCarthy Interested In Developing Tebow
Mar 26th
We were hoping this would be a Tim Tebow-free zone, but what the hell, right? Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy says he would be interested in developing Tebow, who lead the Florida Gators to two national championships, won a Heisman Trophy and likes to thump the Bible. While Tebow definitely needs some development – [...]
Johnny Jolly Headed To Trial In Texas
Mar 26th
Green Bay Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly will go on trial in Harris County, Texas, May 21 on charges of codeine possession. Jolly, 26, a Houston native, was arrested there in July 2008 for possession of at least 200 grams when police said they found cups of codeine syrup in his car. If convicted, Jolly [...]
Packers Offensive Line In Flux, Lang Still Doesn’t Have A Home
Mar 25th
The Green Bay Packers have more than a few questions along the offensive line entering the season. One of them is where second-year man T.J. Lang will play. While most of us expect him to compete for and eventually take over the right tackle spot, Packers’ coach Mike McCarthy doesn’t necessarily agree. “There’s a difference [...]
Packers’ Improve From Within Rhetoric Getting Old
Mar 25th
It’s been pretty well documented how badly the Green Bay Packers fared against top-flight quarterbacks last season. I’ll give it to you in four words: they fucking sucked ass. This offseason the team has done little to address the deficiencies in that area. As usual, there was no outside free agent signings to speak of, [...]
Real-Time Highlights, Fantasy Stats Coming To Lambeau
Mar 24th
Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy says the team is looking at displaying real-time highlights and fantasy stats during games at Lambeau Field. What that means for the future of the Lambeau experience remains to be seen, but the logical first step seems to be highlights and stats on the current video boards and eventually [...]
Packers Reward Mediocrity With Crosby
Mar 23rd
Earlier this month, Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby was given a 100 percent raise, something we learned from our friend Jersey Al. Somehow Crosby triggered incentives in his contract that doubled his salary from $500,000 to $1 million, despite being one of the worst regular kickers in the NFL in 2009. Crosby made a [...]
On The Clock – Packers
Mar 22nd
ESPN’s continuing series, On The Clock, which looks at draft needs for each NFL team currently features the Green Bay Packers. The experts at the Worldwide Leader don’t say anything we don’t already know – the Packers biggest need is on the offensive line. What’s interesting is Trent Dilfer points out how all of the [...]
Was 2004 Packers’ Worst Draft Ever?
Mar 21st
2004 wasn’t exactly what you’d call a banner year for the Green Bay Packers in terms of personnel decisions, but I didn’t realize just how bad it was until I saw Football Outsiders’ six years later review of the 2004 NFL Draft. Unlike all the jokers who try to rate a draft class before any [...]
Kampman Thanks Packers, Fans
Mar 20th
No one can say Aaron Kampman isn’t a classy guy. Kampman, who signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars early in free agency, took out an ad in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel thanking the Green Bay Packers, fans and the community. It reads, in part: It’s been an honor to serve this community for the past eight [...]
Sources: 49ers GM Could Wind Up In Green Bay
Mar 20th
The San Fransisco 49ers are at odds with general manager Scot McCloughan, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that could play out in favor of the Green Bay Packers. ESPN reports San Fransisco has placed McCloughan on an extended leave of absence with just over a month before the draft. Sources said McCloughan has been dealing [...]
