Clifton's signing brings some stability, but changes still in store for o-line

Friday, 11:50 p.m.

For pretty much the entire afternoon today, it was sort of looking grim if you are a fan of the Green Bay Packers.

Green Bay’s starting left tackle, Chad Clifton, was visiting with the Washington Redskins. The ‘Skins need a left tackle and have an owner (Daniel Snyder) who loves to overpay for aging [...]

Offensive line jumble must be resolved

(After taking an ever-so-brief post-Super Bowl sabbatical, I’m back, baby! Also, was anyone else seriously bumming for a minute there that the season was over? Tell me it was not just me!)

This week, Green Bay Press Gazette assistant sports editor Tom Pelissero kicked off his 10-part daily series of chats on “The State of the Packers.”  [...]

Come to Jesus? More like jobs on the line

Dave from Milwaukee, a great friend and follower of OBOD sent me this link this morning from the Journal Sentinel that the offense cleared some air after watching film on Monday.  Greg Bedard reported that veteran offensive players took turns addressing the unit.  It sounds like Aaron Rodgers was called out on holding the ball [...]

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 [...]

A Monday trip to the question department

As Oasis once said, questions are the answers you might need.

I’ve always loved that line and it seems to hold particular importance today. There are a few fairly major question marks surrounding the Green Bay Packers as they get ready for round two with Judas and the Queens on Sunday at Lambeau Field.

(On that note, [...]

Quarter report: Where are the Packers at on offense?

As the Green Bay Packers begin to gear up for the second quarter of the 2009 NFL season, we’re going to take a look back at how the first quarter went and determine just where this team is at.

The good and bad elements of the team’s offense, defense, special teams and schedule will all be [...]

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 [...]

Big-time offensive line developments

After Saturday night’s ass-kicking of the Buffalo Bills, head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters he hoped he’d find enough on the game tape to allow him to set his offensive line for the season.

Apparently, he did.

After Monday’s practice, McCarthy announced he had settled on five starters for 2009.

Chad Clifton (left tackle), Daryn Colledge (left guard), [...]

Friendly fire: Training camp battles, part one

(Before we begin: We were going to run this post yesterday, but we decided to give you Monday off. You’re welcome.)

Training camp will soon be upon us (four days and counting) and I think I speak for everyone when I say THANK GOD!

Finally, the players put on the pads, get out in the hot summer [...]

Grading Ted Thompson's Drafts: 2008 Edition

So, as I stated earlier, I dropped the ball by not posting the OBOD review of Teddy’s 2007 draft until earlier this week. Ultimately, though, that works out well for you, our faithful readers.

How is that so, you ask?

Because you get two draft reviews in one week!

With the draft just hours away, here is the final installment of [...]
