The Green Bay Packers beat the Indianapolis Colts 24-21 in their third preseason game after some late heroics by quarterback Graham Harrell. Here’s the recap, who impressed and who didn’t.
Donald Driver Could Be Expendable
Aug 26th
Perhaps it’s heresy to suggest, but Donald Driver may be expendable. The Green Bay Packers have a big decision to make — keep a popular, but regressing veteran with a hefty salary or keep an impressive youngster like Chastin West?
Training Camp Observations 8-22, Full Pads
Aug 23rd
We’re back at Green Bay Packers training camp, where Jermichael Finley and Jordy Nelson are killing it, several injured players have returned to action and Vic So’oto has made a move up the depth chart.
Packers $12 Million Under Salary Cap; Here’s How They’ll Use It
Aug 17th
The Green Bay Packers have more salary cap space than all but 11 other teams. Why didn’t they use it to sign any big-ticket free agents? They have three core players who are in line for contract extensions.
Training Camp Observations 8-9, Full Pads
Aug 10th
We’re back with another look at Green Bay Packers training camp. With several veterans given the night off, the youngsters were given a chance to shine. Quarterbacks Matt Flynn and Graham Harrell stepped up, as did receiver Tori Gurley. Jarius Wynn outplayed Mike Neal, scuffles galore and more!
Training Camp Observations 8-4, Full Pads
Aug 4th
The Green Bay Packers offense is finally clicking and the stars are playing like they’re supposed to be. Tramon Williams, Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson have all been impressive and Morgan Burnett may be back with the first team.
Donald Driver Says Donald Driver Will Be Starting This Year
Jul 21st
Green Bay Packers receiver Donald Driver isn’t about to hand over his starting spot to Jordy Nelson or anyone else, saying he’s earned it. The question is whether he can keep it in what are probably the final two years of his career.
Veteran Packers Who Should Be Worried
May 10th
The NFL Draft changes the face of every team’s roster and the Green Bay Packers are no exception, even though they’re the reigning Super Bowl champs. Several veterans will go into training camp to fight for a roster spot, while others will simply be let go during free agency. Here’s a look at which players [...]
Packers Throw Out First Pitch, Brewers Immediately Sign Them
Apr 4th
Twelve members of the world champion Green Bay Packers were on hand for the Milwaukee Brewers home opener Monday afternoon to throw out the first pitch… er, pitches. I’m only kidding about the Brewers signing anyone, but hell, none of the Packers have anything to do during the damn lockout and the Brewers supposedly vaunted [...]
Shed A Tear With Jordy Nelson
Mar 15th
Green Bay Packers receiver Jordy Nelson went to Kansas State. So did his wife. He’s probably a hero of some sort there, so it makes sense that he did a commercial for Kansas State Cars. Let me tell you, it’s a real tear-jerker. I can’t believe a man who still possesses a pair of balls between his legs would sign off on a script like this.
Jordy Nelson: Warrior
Mar 7th
There was word Green Bay Packers receiver Jordy Nelson suffered an injury during Super Bowl XLV, but the extent of it wasn’t reported.
Nelson suffered a bursa sac injury in his left knee — bursa sacs are filled with fluid and act as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues in the body (yeah, I looked that up).
James Jones Could Be In Demand In Free Agency
Feb 14th
Green Bay Packers receiver James Jones is likely to have some suitors once free agency begins, providing the new collective bargaining agreement allows him to become a free agent as expected.
Jones’ name has already been mentioned in Cleveland, where the Browns have one of the worst receiving corps in the league.
Sam Shields Is Packers Kick Returner… For Now
Nov 9th
One of the more interesting developments to come out of the Green Bay Packers mauling of the Dallas Cowboys was cornerback Sam Shields taking over as the Packers kick returner. The team has been looking for a reliable kick returner all season. Receiver Jordy Nelson, who was given first crack at the job, had some [...]
Will Blackmon Is Off The Market
Oct 28th
After the Green Bay Packers gave Aaron Stecker a tryout two weeks ago, we speculated that the team might be interested in bringing return man/safety Will Blackmon back. They won’t get that opportunity. Blackmon, who was among the Packers’ final roster cuts, was signed by the New York Giants. Blackmon tore his ACL early in [...]
Packers Passing Attack Faces Tough Test Against Jets
Oct 26th
The New York Jets will have their best defender, cornerback Darrelle Revis, back at full strength for their match-up with the Green Bay Packers, this Sunday — something that isn’t good news for the team’s passing attack. The Jets are coming off a bye and Revis says he’s 100 percent for the first time since [...]
Packers Looking At Options On Kick Returns; Where’s Will Blackmon?
Oct 14th
The Green Bay Packers aren’t happy with their kick returners. Jordy Nelson is averaging a team-high 23.7 yards per return, but fumbled twice in the Packers’ victory over the Detroit Lions. He was temporarily replaced by Pat Lee against the Washington Redskins, but Lee managed only 16.5 yards on two returns. This week, the Packers [...]
Packers Not Impressive In Win Over Lions
Oct 4th
The Green Bay Packers got a win on Sunday, but their 28-26 victory over the Detroit Lions left a lot to be desired. The 0-4 Lions racked up more than 400 yards of offense in Lambeau Field and quarterback Shaun Hill threw for 331 yards and two touchdowns, largely on the strength of short passes [...]
Packers Offense Could Join A Select Few
Sep 12th
The Green Bay Packers offense looks like a juggernaut going into the 2010 season. The possibilities of this season got me thinking about some of the greatest individual seasons by teammates in NFL history. The Packers had two 1,000-yard receivers, a 1,000-yard rusher and a 4,000-yard passer in 2009. Those numbers came courtesy of Greg [...]
Nelson, Williams The Packers Primary Returners
Sep 7th
The Green Bay Packers will go into their week one game with the Philadelphia Eagles with receiver Jordy Nelson and cornerback Tramon Williams as their primary return men after cutting safety Will Blackmon, Saturday. Nelson will return kicks and Williams will return punts. Running back Brandon Jackson will also be in the mix as a [...]
Packers Veterans Who May Be In Trouble
Aug 20th
At the end of every summer, the Green Bay Packers end up cutting a couple veteran players whose release comes as a surprise. Last year, it was receiver Ruvell Martin and safety Anthony Smith. Here’s a list of several players who could potentially be on that list this year. Justin Harrell, defensive tackle — The [...]
