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 [...]

LOLB will likely be a group thing this season

And a new horse has entered the race at left outside linebacker for the Green Bay Packers.

Monday’s news that the team is indeed trying defensive end Cullen Jenkins at the position, for at least a stretch, comes as a major surprise (more on him in a bit). It also makes it official: There’s a good chance the position [...]

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 [...]

Running back, defensive end round out Green Bay's draft

The Green Bay Packers’ 2010 draft is complete.

The Pack’s final two selections focused equally on offense and defense. In the sixth round, Green Bay selected Buffalo running back James Starks (No. 193 overall). With their final pick of the draft, the Packers took East Carolina defensive end C.J. Wilson (No. 230 overall).

First, Starks. Here’s what we know [...]

Selections of Neal, Burnett tell much about the condition of Green Bay's 3-4 scheme

By targeting defensive line and safety with Green Bay’s day two selections, Thompson showed he has much more confidence in his team’s outside linebackers and corners than most fans/analysts [...]

2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Outside linebacker (part two)

He should definitely be available at #23, but he may not drop to the Packers in second round, where he would be a steal. Don’t be surprised if Thompson snags him at the 1st round and it wouldn’t be a reach at [...]

2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Cornerback

So, we’re back from our ever-so-brief Easter sabbatical.

For the next week (and then some), we’ll be talking defense.

It’s crucial that the Green Bay Packers upgrade on this side of the ball. While the defense did many good things last season, the first in the new 3-4 scheme, it is still lacking in some facets. The Packers must [...]

Collins situation set up to get ugly

When we check the numbers for our site, it lets us know what search engine terms people are entering in order to find us.

While some are just flat-out weird – one person actually found us by entering “I hate Chris Lempesis” and I swear to God that’s true (yeah, I remember her) - most are Green [...]

Wednesday injury update: Packers looking good, Cards aren’t

Give the early nod in the injury battle to the Green Bay Packers as they had, essentially, everyone back at practice Wednesday.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Ryan Pickett (hamstring) and Brandon Chillar (back) were both were full participants. That’s a very good thing because both will need to play major roles Sunday. 

Derrick Martin (ankle) tested his injury [...]

Six injuries to keep an eye on this week

I thought about writing some sort of lighthearted post in this space.

Then I remembered: The Green Bay Packers are in the playoffs.

No time for lighthearted fare this week. It’s time to buckle down and focus on the game at hand (roughly 111 hours away…and counting!). Besides, I’m already too nervous to write anything humerous.

That being [...]
