What I'd like to see from Packers/Colts

Well, the third preseason game is here. And, as Denny Green once famously informed us, this is the one that teams do not, in fact, play like it’s bull(expletive), bull(expletive)!

That could be especially true in this one, as the Green Bay Packers take on the Indianapolis Colts and some cat named Peyton at Lambeau Field tonight [...]

An attempt to answer some early camp questions

Folks, I got to the line of scrimmage, saw the look of the defense and decided I didn’t like the play. That’s right – I’m calling an audible.

I decided to pass on cooking up a batch of training camp stew for Tuesday, even though the Green Bay Packers practiced twice. The Stew will return Thursday night, [...]

Super-terrific Family Night wrap-up!

We got our first real look at the 2010 Green Bay Packers on Saturday night in the team’s annual “Family Night” scrimmage at Lambeau Field.

(Big ups to the folks at Fox11 in Green Bay for streaming the event online. Well done, gang.)

It’s hard to know exactly what we should take away from such an event. [...]

Catching up on how the Pack have looked in camp so far

So, six practices in – how are the Green Bay Packers looking?

In short, similar to most teams at this point. The defense is ahead of the offense, which is almost always the case at any level of football six practices in to a season. OTA/minicamps only do so much for keeping a rhythm, after all, [...]

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 [...]

By the end of the week, the 2010 season will be underway - holy crap!

(Before we begin: Our “Friendly Fire” training camp battles series begins Tuesday.)

Before this week’s over, it will begin.

The two-a-days. The position battles. The fights. The heat – my God, the heat.

No more guessing will be necessary. Okay, there will still be some guessing – but not as much. Before this week’s over, training camp for [...]

So...why do people hate Ted Thompson, again? A closer look

Now that doesn’t mean I agree with everything he does. But at the end of the day, I’m glad he’s running the show over at 1265 Lombardi [...]

Green Bay Packers' All-Decade Team, part three: Special Teams

Come on, now – you didn’t think we’d forget about the special teams’ guys, did you?

Alright, alright. I tried to forget, but they wouldn’t let me. I had to put them on here.

I kid, I kid…sort of.

Anyways, here is the final part of our all-decade team for the Green Bay Packers.

Again, enjoy.

Wrapping up the heartbreak with a trip to the question department

Since you can only touch on so many topics in a game recap, I figured I’d use this post to wrap-up the 51-45 overtime heartbreaker. And what better way to do that than with a trip to the question department?

(Quick aside: Yes, I fully realize that doing this is very much an exercise in sadism. [...]

Know your enemy: A closer look at the Arizona Cardinals’ special teams and coaching

Well, we’ve covered offense and defense. That’s it.

What’s that? I forgot special teams?

Oh yeah, I suppose I did.

In this last segment of our three-part series, we’ll take a look at Arizona’s special teams and coaching staff.

(Please note: Barring any shocking developments, this will likely be my last post until after the game. As I said before, [...]
