2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Safeties (part two)

Truth be told, this post wasn’t supposed to run until tonight.

We had planned on dedicating Tuesday night and this morning to recapping the release of the 2010 NFL regular season schedule, as many thought it would come out Tuesday. But, of course the NFL isn’t ready to do that yet. Why would they be? That [...]

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 [...]

WE are checking in…and turning the floor over to YOU

So, the last time we talked, we discussed Brett Favre (blech).

It’s been a few days since we’ve posted anything. The reason is, well, there isn’t a whole lot going on with the Green Bay Packers at the moment, outside of Ahman Green saying he thinks he’ll be back (fine with me) and some talk that [...]

Muffled cornerback situation also must be untangled

Sorting out the mess along the offensive line must be the Green Bay Packers’ top priority this offseason.

Untangling the situation at cornerback is not far behind, though.

Now it is true that Green Bay is better off at corner than o-line as of right now. Still, age, injuries and unknowns permeate the group and the Packers must [...]

Offseason to-do list (conclusion): Potential free agent targets for Green Bay

So, we’ve just about covered the current in-house situation for the Green Bay Packers with regards to their upcoming free agents and the players who could be released.

But what about some players, currently on other teams, who might be able to help the Pack next season?

That’s the focus of the final part of our post-season, pre-draft to-do [...]

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 restricted free agents, part two

Here is part two of our look at Green Bay’s restricted free agents.

No long-ass intros needed for this one.

Again, enjoy.

Free safety Nick Colllins – Collins made $3.148 million last season in the last year of his rookie contract (some various incentives kicked in, thus the high salary). Of all the various scenarios regarding the team’s [...]

Know your enemy: A closer look at the Arizona Cardinals' offense

Since this is, oh, I don’t know, playoff week and all (65 hours and counting until kickoff!), we figured we’d take a closer look at the Arizona Cardinals.

This will be a three-part series in which we at OBOD examine all three phases of the Cardinals – and, maybe, shed some light on how the Green [...]

Regular season game fifteen vs. Seattle: Time to look ahead

The Green Bay Packers are in the playoffs.

You know what? I’m going to say that one again, this time with feeling:

THE GREEN BAY PACKERS ARE IN THE (EXPLETIVE DELETED) PLAYOFFS!

YES!!

Sunday’s 48-10 home demolition of the woeful Seattle Seahawks – what’s happened to THEM? – combined with a New York Giants loss puts the now 10-5 [...]

Still the bain of all our existences

Way back this summer either Chris or Gene dubbed Jarret Bush as “Cornerback/Safety/Bain of My Existence Jarret Bush.”  Fast forward six months later and Bush unfortunately is still giving Packers fans headaches every weekend.

Ted Thompson decided to match Tennessee’s qualifying offer to the restricted Bush this summer and while we all questioned his motive then [...]
