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 [...]

Restricted free agent tenders announced (sort of)

Earlier Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers gave word that they had placed tenders on eight of their nine restricted free agents. They also tendered one of their exclusive rights free agents.

The deadline for doing so was Thursday, so this announcement wasn’t a major surprise or anything.

We don’t know everything yet, as far as who got what tender, [...]

Offseason to-do list: Green Bay's restricted free agents, part one

We’ve covered the Green Bay Packers’ unrestricted free agents. That was fun (at least for me) and fairly easy to do.

This is where it gets tricky. Hopefully, I can make this both brief and understandable.

As of now, the league and the player’s union are extremely far apart on a new CBA. In the event they fail [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Wednesday wrap-up: Tauscher's time finally nearing (plus an injury update)

The Green Bay Packers got back to work Wednesday in preparation for Sunday’s road contest with the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

They did so, apparently, with a new starter at right tackle: Mark Tauscher.

According to the Green Bay Press Gazette, Tauscher took most of the reps with the starting unit. That likely means Tauscher will take [...]

How the Packers look, position-by-position, on offense

Now that the Packers have their 53-man roster set for the 2009 season, we wanted to take a look at the team, position-by-position, and give our thoughts on how the Pack really looks.

After all, we’re now less than a week away from the season opener.

I wanted to do this as one post, but it ended [...]

Wrapping up a day of cutting

The Packers have the group they want to go to war with.

But it’s not quite the group a lot of us thought it would be.

Saturday’s cutdown from 75 to 53 was certainly chock full of surprises, obviously the biggest being the release of quarterback Brian Brohm (I guess I was wrong when I said Friday [...]

Backfield overload?

We all know the roster has to be trimmed to 53 by Saturday. Some cuts will be a lot easier than others and some players are already destined to the practice squad. The one position that remains muddled is running back. Last year the Packers started the season with five backs – Ryan Grant, Brandon [...]

Friendly fire: Update edition, part one

(I wish we could utilize sound effects on this site, because I’d totally begin this post with the ultra-creepy “Update” music that used to run on “Unsolved Mysteries” whenever a criminal was caught or mystery was, in fact, solved. You remember, right? The music that should have made you feel better because something good had [...]
