Friendly fire: 2010 training camp battles, part two

We went a different way with part one, focusing on the offensive line first.

We’ll let the skill position players get their due this time around, though, as we make them the focus of part two.

Not bad for a short intro, huh?

Wide receiver

Type of battle: No. 3 receiver spot

Combatants: James Jones (26 years old, 6-feet, 1-inch, 208 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Thompson answers more questions with final day selections

But such is the case with the Green Bay Packers and the four players they took to close the 2010 NFL Draft. Each of those players, in their own way, will alter the Pack’s [...]

Offseason to-do list: Packers who could be released

Unrestricted free agents? Check.

Restricted free agents? Double check.

You might think that’d just about cover it for the Green Bay Packers’ offseason to-do list - outside of the draft, of course (don’t worry, we’ll be ALL over that soon enough at OBOD).

If you think that, I’ve got three words for you: Not. Even. Close.

As we all know, numerous [...]

Offseason to-do list: Green Bay's unrestricted free agents, part two

I told you I’d bring you part two today (scroll down a bit for part one) and I’m here to deliver.

I’m many things – apparently, a piss poor predictor of playoff games is one of them (thanks for the mentioning that, however brutally, jclombardi) - but I am not a liar.

Again, enjoy.

Nose tackle Ryan Pickett, nine years – Pickett made $3.4 [...]

Mourning is over, lots of memories

It has taken me a few days to actually talk about the Packers, let alone write about them.  But I am an adult and sports are well, just sports.  There are far more important things to worry about in life.  Will I be disappointed not to see the Packers get their shot at the Saints?  [...]

Mid-season report card, part one

I had to make a choice.

I could do what I usually do on Tuesdays and write some sort of lighthearted, (hopefully) funny post about why we as Packers fans hate the team’s upcoming opponent, the Dallas Cowboys. But seeing as how they’ve pretty much owned us for the past, oh, I don’t know, length of [...]

A Monday trip to the question department

As Oasis once said, questions are the answers you might need.

I’ve always loved that line and it seems to hold particular importance today. There are a few fairly major question marks surrounding the Green Bay Packers as they get ready for round two with Judas and the Queens on Sunday at Lambeau Field.

(On that note, [...]
