2010 Training Camp Coverage « Ol' Bag of Donuts

And the 53-man roster has been announced (finally)

After making us wait roughly 90 minutes longer than they should have – the cuts should have been announced shortly after 5 p.m. Lambeau Time – the Green Bay Packers have finally released their 53-man roster.

First, we’ll list the guys who didn’t make it (should we do a moment of silence? Nah). Comments on the roster will [...]

What my final 53-man roster would look like

With no more preseason tape to go off of, decision time looms for the Green Bay Packers.

They have until 5 p.m. Lambeau Time on Saturday to get their roster down from 75 to the final 53.

I’ve done three of these already. I’ll be keeping the same basic format for my final roster prediction piece – [...]

2010 preseason game four vs. Kansas City: Now that it's over - here's what we've learned

I’m going to play a dangerous game in this space.

That doesn’t mean I’m going to write 900 words on the Green Bay Packers’ 17-13 road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Thursday night’s preseason finale.

(Though I will quickly say that I loved what I saw from Matt Flynn. He can hold down the fort [...]

Underreported storylines for the 2010 season

Remember when Antonio Gates exploded onto the scene a few years back? This may be bigger. However, the more success Finley has will create one major problem: What will happen after the 2010 season? Finley is under contract through 2011, but his scheduled to only make $470,000 this year and $550,000 next season. [...]

On a day when roster cuts are to be made, the Packers cut no one

Tuesday was the first of two scheduled cutdown days for NFL teams, with every team mandated to get down from 80 to 75 players.

The Green Bay Packers took a different approach. They cut no one.

Instead, the Packers placed three players on the PUP list and one more on injured reserve (they had only 79 players [...]

With one preseason game left to go, here's how the 53-man roster should look

Originally, I had planned on doing two roster prediction pieces – one midway through the preseason and one at the end, before the final roster cuts are made.

But since you guys and gals seemed to like the first one so much, I’ve decided to throw in a bonus roster piece. And don’t worry – I’ll [...]

Training camp stew: 8/29/10 edition

The Green Bay Packers had been very quiet since Thursday night’s preseason pounding of the Indianapolis Colts.

(One more game and it’s finally over.)

That changed Sunday.

The Packers got back to work on the practice field and there was some fairly significant news to come out of it. So, that being the case, we’ve decided to whip [...]

2010 preseason game three vs. Indianapolis: America, meet No. 88

There were a great many positives to take away from the Green Bay Packers’ 59-24 pounding of the Indianapolis Colts at Lambeau Field on Thursday night.

The offensive line, Ryan Grant and Aaron Rodgers all turned in very good performances. The defense wasn’t perfect, but rebounded after a tough start to play well, despite the absence of a [...]

What I'd like to see from Packers/Colts

Well, the third preseason game is here. And, as Denny Green once famously informed us, this is the one that teams do not, in fact, play like it’s bull(expletive), bull(expletive)!

That could be especially true in this one, as the Green Bay Packers take on the Indianapolis Colts and some cat named Peyton at Lambeau Field tonight [...]

Two games in, here's how the 53-man roster should look

(Note: The Stew will return later Tuesday. I promise.)

With 21 training camp practices, a “Family Night Scrimmage” and two preseason games under their collective belt, we’ve seen enough of a body of work to begin determining what the Green Bay Packers’ 53-man roster could look like come Sept. 12.

But what should it look like?

Obviously, this is [...]
