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 [...]
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 [...]
Are you ready for round two?
I know I am.
There have been plenty of titles for Sunday’s contest between the Green Bay Packers (4-2) and Minnesota Vikings (6-1), set for 3:15 p.m. Lambeau Time at, well, Lambeau Field.
I’ve pretty much stuck with “Round Two” because, to me, it most encapsulates everything this game is.
It’s another shot [...]
In my preview for Sunday’s contest with the Cleveland Browns, I said the Green Bay Packers had to not only win, but win big in order to gain some real confidence moving forward.
No problem there, huh?
In cruising to a dominant 31-3 road win against the hapless Browns, which improves their record to 4-2 on the [...]
Let’s keep this thing moving along and talk about the first quarter showing by the Green Bay Packers’ defense.
(If you want to find part one, just scroll down a bit. There you go – keep scrolling and…you’ve got it! Congratulations!)
Defense
The Good
Charles Woodson (20 tackles, a team-high three interceptions, three passes defended) has been, not only [...]
The Green Bay Packers have seen enough of Aaron Rouse.
The Packers released Rouse on Wednesday, signing Matt Giordano, formerly of the Indianapolis Colts, to take his roster spot.
The timing of the move is somewhat curious as Rouse had just taken over the strong safety spot against the Bengals in place of an injured Atari Bigby [...]
Not only did the Green Bay Packers lose in embarassing fashion Sunday to the Cincinnati Bengals, they got pretty banged up while doing it.
Chad Clifton (ankle), Nick Collins (clavicle) and Aaron Rouse (neck stinger) all suffered injuries in the contest.
Donald Lee was also hurt when he took a shot from Roy Williams late in the [...]
It didn’t seem like hyperbole a week ago.
Mike McCarthy had called a better game. The defense did look more aggressive. The Green Bay Packers were nothing like they were in 2008.
As it turns out, though, hyperbole is the only way to describe my, well, descriptions of Green Bay after last week’s win over Chicago.
Sunday’s utterly [...]
For the duration of his two-plus years as a Packer, Aaron Rouse has always been a player with potential.
We all remember his 100-plus yard interception return for a touchdown off Peyton Manning last season, after all.
Yet Rouse has also struggled with inconsistency, injuries and an inability to pass Atari Bigby on the depth chart.
Well, it [...]
Alright, enough about the pretty boys on offense.
For part two, we’re going to talk about the tough guys on defense (and, okay, special teams, too).
Defensive linemen (6)
Starters: Johnny Jolly, Ryan Pickett, Cullen Jenkins
Backups: Mike Montgomery, B.J. Raji, Jarius Wynn
There’s certainly a lot of talent here. They just have to show they can do what [...]
