(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 [...]
It’s been a few days since we last checked in. Okay, five days.
Our bad.
With the week winding down, here are my thoughts on some of the major Green Bay Packers-related stories of the past, well, five days.
Williams joins Jolly in signing tender; Bigby appears to be digging in
Well, it appears as though cornerback Tramon Williams took [...]
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 [...]
Look a little closer and you’ll see that this group has the chance to make a rather significant impact, both next season and for years to [...]
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. [...]
As I write this, we sit on the eve of the 2010 NFL Draft.
Holy crap.
That being the case, it’s time for me to put on my Ted Thompson cap and pretend I’m running the draft room in Green Bay. Yeah, this should be fun.
Before we tee this thing off, a few ground rules:
I am not going to [...]
So, we’re back from our ever-so-brief Easter sabbatical.
For the next week (and then some), we’ll be talking defense.
It’s crucial that the Green Bay Packers upgrade on this side of the ball. While the defense did many good things last season, the first in the new 3-4 scheme, it is still lacking in some facets. The Packers must [...]
So far, we at OBOD have covered the hell out of free agency as it relates to the Green Bay Packers and the rest of the NFC North.
(Okay, maybe we haven’t “covered the hell” out of it. But we’ve been good….solid….decent. Yeah, let’s stick with that – decent.)
But what about the rest of the NFL? [...]
