The first part of our look at the defensive battles – part three of our series in all, if you’re keeping score – focused solely on the secondary. Makes sense as it’s the one glaring area of concern on this team as it prepares to begin camp in just one day – holy @$*#! Truth be [...] Most Green Bay Packers fans are extremely high on the 2010 squad. You can include me in that group. Still, they are not a team without flaws – no team is in the salary cap era. Much has been written about the Pack’s seemingly biggest flaw – the pass defense – this offseason. But what are some [...] The Green Bay Packers put a significant emphasis on the defensive line in this year’s draft. By selecting Mike Neal (Purdue, second round) and C.J. Wilson (East Carolina, seventh round), the team made it clear it felt more size and depth needed to be added up front. And by officially moving B.J. Raji (RAJI!) and Ryan [...] As we near 11:01 p.m. Lambeau Time, the Green Bay Packers have a pair of decisions to make. At 11:01, the Packers can reduce the RFA tenders made to safety Atari Bigby and cornerback Tramon Williams to 110 percent of the 2009 salaries for each player. The Packers reportedly sent letters to those two – along [...] Earlier this week, a report surfaced from Josina Anderson of FOX31 in Denver (huh?) that reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Charles Woodson had approached the Green Bay Packers about a new contract. Woodson, who turns 34 on October 7, has three years left on the seven-year, $52.7 million (if he hit all the various incentives) contract he [...] 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 [...] Thompson traded up 15 spots to get him, trading pick #86 (third round) and #122 (fourth) to Philadelphia for pick #71. Second straight year Thompson made a significant trade up in the top three rounds and you can’t blame him here, Burnett can ball. [...] When you look at the Green Bay Packers’ needs heading into the draft, defensive line isn’t near the top of the list. That doesn’t mean it should be near the bottom, either, though. Sure, the Packers look to have a very good four-man rotation (baseball reference, sorry, it’s that time of year) in Cullen Jenkins, Ryan Pickett, Johnny Jolly and [...] 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 [...] |
