Packers Will Franchise Ryan Pickett
Feb 23rd
The Green Bay Packers will use the franchise tag on nose tackle Ryan Pickett, according to NFL.com’s Jason La Canfora. The move is somewhat of a surprise considering Pickett isn’t an every down player and the Packers chose nose tackle B.J. Raji with their top choice in the 2009 draft, but quality nose tackles are [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
Oh Yeah, Packers Are Playing The Bears This Week
Dec 12th
In case you forgot, the Green Bay Packers are playing the Chicago Bears this week. That had kind of slipped my mind because… what’s that old song? Oh yeah, it’s this one. The Bears (5-7) are bad this season for a lot of reasons. Most noted is the fact quarterback Jay Culter leads the league [...]
Five Reasons the Packers Will Beat the Vikings
Oct 28th
The Green Bay Packers are three-point favorites going into their contest with the Minnesota Vikings this weekend. Since the Packers are playing in Lambeau Field, that line simply means that the oddsmakers feel these two teams are evenly matched. Still, this season’s history says the Vikings are the better team. The Vikings are 6-1 to [...]
Packers Sense of Urgency Needs Come From Within
Oct 13th
It was refreshing to hear a member of the Green Bay Packers address the elephant in the room, yesterday. “Nobody’s happy where we’re at right now. Nobody. We’re 2-2, man. That’s not good. We have too much talent to be 2-2. Too many people care to be 2-2,” nose tackle Ryan Pickett said. This came [...]
The Packers Defensive Resurgence Begins On The Line And A Few Other Notes
Sep 16th
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. It should be noted, though, both Cullen Jenkins and [...]
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 [...]
Positional Notes: Kampman, Barbre and Raji Looking for a Fit
Jun 25th
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 [...]
Final Word On The Packers Draft, For Now
Apr 27th
Today is the day that everyone and their mother hand out draft grades. Well, grading a draft class immediately after said draft is bullshit. No one can adequately grade a draft class for at least three years. These players haven’t been on the field yet. They haven’t seen the playbook. They haven’t met their teammates. [...]
The Packers Are Dead, Long Live The Packers
Dec 1st
With yet another heartbreaking 4 points-or-less loss, the Green Bay Packers have all but assured that the playoffs will be out of their reach, with their 35-31 defeat at the hands of the Carolina Panthers. The Packers don’t deserve it this year, not this coaching staff, not this underachieving group of players. But it’s hard [...]
