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 [...]

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

(Before we begin: Just to reiterate, if you’re worried this is it for OBOD’s offseason coverage, don’t be. We’ll be all over free agency when it starts and we’re already busy researching for the draft and we’ll be beginning our coverage of that soon enough. Three words: Mock drafts, baby!)

Let’s cut to the chase. Here [...]

Thompson hospitalized

A scary situation at practice today with OLB Jeremy Thompson being taken away by an ambulance after suffering a neck stinger.  Jason Wilde of ESPN Milwaukee has done a good job covering the story so far, so we’ll direct you to him.

Also, sounds like T.J. Lang may unavailable Mondayafter suffering a concussion yesterday and with [...]

Mid-season report card, part two

No catchy intro needed here. Enjoy part two.

Defense

If we were excited about the potential of Dom Capers’ new 3-4 scheme before the season, we’re anything but now. The run defense has been very good, this is true (ninth in the league, allowing 97.1 yards per game). And the pass defense, statistically, has also been very [...]

Trade Kampman?

It’s been weeks since I last wrote a meaningful post and want to thank Chris and Gene for picking up the major slack I laid.  Mainly my absence was due to grad school, training to run a race and girls; and not necessarily in that order.

So it’s fitting that I want to get back in [...]

Breaking down Packers vs. Vikings

Well, the day is finally upon us.

Tonight, in front of a packed Metrodome crowd, with a likely record cable audience watching at home, the Packers finally get their crack at Judas.

Since he signed with the Queens – hell, you could even go further back to when his whole disgusting flirtation began with them in the [...]

How the Packers look, position-by-position, on defense and special teams

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 [...]

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 [...]

Wrapping up a busy past two days

The announcement of the starting offensive line is far from the only important development in Packerland over the past two days.

Here are my thoughts on what else has been going on.

As always, this information comes courtesy of the fine folks at the Green Bay Press Gazette and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Packers release Duke Preston

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 – [...]
