News on Bigby disheartening in the wake of Harris' struggle

(Two notes: First, the Stew will return next week. Second, big props to OBOD reader Kathy Wutkowski, who gave me the idea for this post. Writer’s block hits us all, sometimes, you know?)

Good thing Morgan Burnett got all those offseason reps with the starters, huh?

I say that because, on Thursday, we found out Atari Bigby’s [...]

Training camp stew 2010: 8/5 edition

And your nightly serving of our takes on the most interesting bits of information to come out of that day’s training camp practice has returned for a second year.

That’s right: Training camp stew: The sequel.

The Green Bay Packers practiced twice Thursday, so there was quite a bit of information to sift through. We’ve done just [...]

The BIG rookie signs and reports to camp today

Given the age and health history of both starting tackles, having the big man from Iowa here on time is extremely beneficial as he will play an integral role at some point this [...]

Friendly fire: 2010 training camp battles, part three

Enough about the pretty boys on the offense.

It’s time to shine the spotlight on the tough guys – the defenders.

The Packers have a couple of major battles going on with their defense – none bigger than one in the secondary. And it’s there that we begin part three of our series:

Strong safety

Type of battle: Starting [...]

By the end of the week, the 2010 season will be underway - holy crap!

(Before we begin: Our “Friendly Fire” training camp battles series begins Tuesday.)

Before this week’s over, it will begin.

The two-a-days. The position battles. The fights. The heat – my God, the heat.

No more guessing will be necessary. Okay, there will still be some guessing – but not as much. Before this week’s over, training camp for [...]

Players who could be moved in order to bolster areas of need

Monday, I wrote about the idea of Ted Thompson trading a player from an area of relative strength in order to bolster the Green Bay Packers’ defensive line.

That was written in the context of discussing the Johnny Jolly 2010 Suspension Tour, but really, d-line isn’t the only area Thompson could look to sure up via [...]

Wrapping up the past...um...few days in Packerland

So it’s been a minute since I’ve last written for the site.

It feels like I’ve been saying that a lot lately. That’s because, well, I have.

My reasons are, of course, legit. First it was vacay-time; then I got sick; and, finally, I’ve been out of town attending my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. I don’t forsee [...]

Wrapping up the week: RFAs, a possible 18-game schedule and a plea for your help

It’s been a few days since we last checked in. Okay, five days.

Our bad.

With the week winding down, here are my thoughts on some of the major Green Bay Packers-related stories of the past, well, five days.

Williams joins Jolly in signing tender; Bigby appears to be digging in

Well, it appears as though cornerback Tramon Williams took [...]

What to do with Atari and Tramon?

As we near 11:01 p.m. Lambeau Time, the Green Bay Packers have a pair of decisions to make.

At 11:01, the Packers can reduce the RFA tenders made to safety Atari Bigby and cornerback Tramon Williams to 110 percent of the 2009 salaries for each player. The Packers reportedly sent letters to those two – along [...]

Putting the final bow on Green Bay's 2010 draft

Look a little closer and you’ll see that this group has the chance to make a rather significant impact, both next season and for years to [...]
