Packers Bike Rides: Here’s What They Tell Us [Photos]
Aug 2nd
Green Bay Packers players riding local kids bikes to and from practice is one of the coolest things about training camp. Getting up close with these Packers has taught us things about Nick Collins appetite, Jermichael Finley’s chances of injuring himself and Josh Sitton’s hair, among other things. Check out the gallery and see what you think.
Training Camp Observations 8-1, Full Pads
Aug 1st
The Green Bay Packers strapped on the pads and went full contact for the first time Monday night. Rookie Derek Sherrod was hit and miss at left guard, B.J. Raji looks dominant and the quarterbacks are still trying to find their rhythm.
With Colledge Likely Moving On, Bulaga Could Move To Left Guard
Jul 28th
The Arizona Cardinals look like they’re going to lure left guard Daryn Colledge away from the Green Bay Packers. That leaves the Packers with an interesting quandry — move Bryan Bulaga to left tackle or leave him at right guard?
Packers’ Reactions To Continuation Of Lockout
Jul 23rd
The Green Bay Packers had varied reactions to the events of the past two days that say the owners approve a new labor deal and the players choose not to vote. They ranged from rational to stupid. Here they are.
Who Made It To Packers Offensive Line Workouts?
Jun 3rd
As we told you last week, the Green Bay Packers offensive linemen worked out together near Nashville for three days this week. Tackle Chad Clifton and center Scott Wells, who organized the get together, live in the area. What we didn’t know until today, is who actually showed up.
Colledge’s Days As A Packer Probably Over
Mar 1st
Daryn Colledge has never been the Green Bay Packers best offensive lineman.
In fact, he’s probably the weakest of the team’s starting five, but he had a decent 2010 season and again proved to be one of the Packers most durable players.
Packers May Have A Shot At Wisconsin’s Carimi
Feb 23rd
Wisconsin Badgers offensive tackle Gabe Carimi was one of the best offensive linemen in college football in 2010.
The Badgers left tackle won the Outland Trophy as the top interior lineman in college football, he was a consensus first-team All American, the Big Ten offensive lineman of the year and an All-Big Ten first-team selection.
Draft Needs Start With Linebacker, Offensive Line
Feb 22nd
The Green Bay Packers will go into this year’s NFL Draft with a roster that doesn’t have a lot of holes.
The team could use upgrades in two key areas, though. The Packers still don’t have a pass-rush threat at linebacker opposite Clay Matthews and could also use help along the offensive line.
Lang Will Go If Colledge Can’t; Spitz Looks Finished
Dec 16th
The Green Bay Packers don’t seem overly concerned about left guard Daryn Colledge’s knee injury, but if he’s unable to play this weekend, T.J. Lang would start in his place. Lang has played his way into the backup job at both tackle positions, but wasn’t previously the primary backup at left guard. That was Jason [...]
Lang, McDonald Could Be Future Starters On Offensive Line
Dec 8th
After the Green Bay Packers’ loss to the Atlanta Falcons, we were quick to point out the offensive line’s ineffectual run blocking. It was pretty clear after the loss that everyone not named Josh Sitton was struggling in the running game and the stats backed it up. The Packers showed improvement against an inferior opponent [...]
Bulaga Likely To Get First Start
Oct 8th
The Bryan Bulaga era starts… Sunday… probably. The Green Bay Packers are likely to be without right tackle Mark Tauscher, who is battling a shoulder injury, on Sunday. Bedard — who for the rest of his Packers’ tenure will only be referred to by a single name, like Madonna — says the rookie will get [...]
The Hits Keep Coming: Tauscher Injury Could Be Serious
Oct 7th
We may all look back at the end of the season and note the Green Bay Packers week four game with the Detroit Lions as the point where it all went to shit. The Packers have lost one starter for the season, safety Morgan Burnett. They are on the verge of losing another in linebacker [...]
Clifton, Colledge Likely To Start
Sep 27th
It looks like the Green Bay Packers will open their game with the Chicago Bears tonight with the same starting offensive line they opened the season with. Both Chad Clifton and Daryn Colledge practiced with the No. 1 unit on Saturday and will start barring a last-minute setback. Clifton has been battling a knee injury [...]
Packers Not Exactly Dominant In Season-Opening Win
Sep 12th
Maybe it’s time to table the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl talk for a bit. The defense, led by linebacker Clay Matthews, was the biggest reason the Packers were able to escape Philadelphia with a 27-20 win over the Eagles. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense wasn’t close to firing on all cylinders, but [...]
Packers Offensive Line Has Become A Strength
Sep 9th
No one would have considered the Green Bay Packers offensive line a strength last season, particularly in the first half. Part of the reason was the ineffectiveness of right tackle Allen Barbre, who was eventually replaced by Mark Tauscher. Another factor was injuries. Chad Clifton missed several games, forcing left guard Daryn Colledge and later [...]
Observations From Packers 17-13 Loss To Chiefs
Sep 2nd
The Green Bay Packers fell to the Kansas City Chiefs 17-13, Thursday night in their preseason finale. The game wasn’t easy to watch. The starters played only one series and veterans Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Grant, Donald Driver, Chad Clifton and Charles Woodson were healthy scratches. There were some interesting developments in the game, however, and [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Atari Bigby vs. Morgan Burnett
Jun 27th
When training camp opens, the Green Bay Packers will have few spots in the starting lineup up for grabs. The only totally open competition is at left guard, where Daryn Colledge will battle Jason Spitz for the starting job. There are other positions that may turn into competitions, however. T.J. Lang and Mark Tauscher may [...]
