Friendly fire: Update edition, part two

Here is the second (and final) part of our update on the seven major position battles still going on with the Green Bay Packers.

Part one covered backup quarterback, No. 3 running back and fullback. I’d link to it, but if you scroll down just a bit, you’ll find it. I mean, I know it’s Friday [...]

Training camp stew- 8/20/09 edition (the series finale)

As Adam previously stated, he and I are pretty much done talking about Judas. In fact, we ARE done. Gene will be weighing in with his thoughts sometime soon, but after that, don’t expect any more Judas stuff from us.

We’re very glad that you all felt as passionate about the issue as we did – [...]

Training camp stew – 8/13/09 edition

Here it is, your nightly serving of the most interesting bits of information from today’s training camp practice.

The Packers had two practices today and, with only two days to go until Saturday’s preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns, there’s quite a bit to get to.

As always, this information comes courtesy of the folks at the [...]

How they looking so far?

(As I type this, a backup punter for the Tennessee Titans has just taken a fake punt to the house for the first score of the preseason. Football’s back! It’s baaaaaack!!)

With the Green Bay Packers just over a week into training camp – nine practices, to be exact – it seemed like a good time [...]

Training camp stew – 8/6/09 edition

Like the Green Bay Packers, we at OBOD decided to take yesterday off. We didn’t do much – you know, went to Home Depot, Bed, Bath & Beyond. Actually, a pretty nice little Wednesday.

Now it’s time to get back in the kitchen – and by kitchen I mean my couch – and give you your [...]

Training camp stew, version 1.0

We at OBOD – Adam, Gene and myself – are not credentialed members of the media, meaning we don’t have access to the team.

We don’t live in Green Bay – sorry, cats out of the bag – so we aren’t able to watch training camp practices live.

But we still want to give you our thoughts [...]

Friendly fire: Training camp battles, part three

The first two parts of this series have been offensive-minded. That’s because, well, most of the major pre-camp battles exist on that side of the ball.

By our count, there are only two that exist in the areas of defense and special teams – one in each, in fact.

And here they are:

Right outside linebacker

The combatants: Jeremy [...]

Possible free agent targets (if Ted Thompson decides to spend money…which he won't)

As this posts, we sit less than an hour away from the beginning of the NFL’s free agency signing period. Ah yes, free agency – a time in which a bunch of seemingly rational men turn into lunatics.

OneĀ  man who stays fairly calm, though, is Packers General Manager Ted Thompson. As Gene pointed out in [...]
