As defense loses another key piece, time for Green Bay's offense to emerge is now

Okay, now we can say the Green Bay Packers’ defense is devastated by injury.

Wednesday, we learned that outside linebacker Brad Jones’ season is indeed over. Jones has been placed on injured reserve and will undergo surgery on his damaged shoulder. The injury initially occurred in camp and was apparently significantly re-injured in Sunday night’s win [...]

Taking a look at the contracts of Grant, Woodson and Hawk

It’s Friday and, for many of you, that means it’s pay day. 

What better day to examine a trio of key contracts for the Green Bay Packers?

Just make sure you look at your check before you read these numbers. Otherwise, you might get a little upset.

The respective deals of running back Ryan Grant, cornerback Charles Woodson and [...]

Monday report: Grant, Harrell, Hawk, etc.

Most of the major news surrounding the Green Bay Packers on the day after their season-opening win over Philadelphia involved injuries.

And, as is the case most of the time with things like these, the news wasn’t particularly good.

Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Monday that running back Ryan Grant (ankle) is out for Sunday’s home opener with [...]

Underreported storylines for the 2010 season

Remember when Antonio Gates exploded onto the scene a few years back? This may be bigger. However, the more success Finley has will create one major problem: What will happen after the 2010 season? Finley is under contract through 2011, but his scheduled to only make $470,000 this year and $550,000 next season. [...]

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, [...]

Friendly fire: 2010 training camp battles, part one

One of the best parts of training camp involves the battles waged between teammates.

Some guys battle for spots on the depth chart. Others battle for spots on the roster. Either way, the battles are often friendly, yet extremely intense.

The 2010 Green Bay Packers will have a handful of such battles in training camp this year. [...]

Well, THAT was a crazy Saturday in June, huh?

At daybreak, it seemed like the most interesting story involving the Green Bay Packers was Donald Driver’s Charity Softball Game, which takes place Sunday in Appleton.

Then came the afternoon and, well, you-know-what got weird.

After originally not knowing who the player was, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting late Saturday night that cornerback Brandon Underwood is in fact [...]

Thompson answers more questions with final day selections

But such is the case with the Green Bay Packers and the four players they took to close the 2010 NFL Draft. Each of those players, in their own way, will alter the Pack’s [...]

2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Guards/Centers (part two)

With the two big names at guard/center – Idaho’s Mike Iupati and Florida’s Maurkice Pouncey – already sufficiently covered, we’ll use these next two posts to talk about a handful of other guards/centers who could be selected by the Green Bay Packers a bit later on in the draft. As Adam said earlier, interior o-line is a [...]

A Tuesday trip to the question department

Funny how things can change in a week, isn’t it?

At this time last week, there was almost nothing going on with the Green Bay Packers. I mean, I was writing 1,100-word posts on the “Lombardi” movie to pass the time, for God’s sake - and that movie won’t even come out until roughly two years from now!

All [...]
