Re: Source says Packers pick Dom Capers for the DC position The trouble is, they don't have the horses for a 3-4, either. I sincerely hope the Packers have some plan for the transition period between now and the time their roster is set to play a real 3-4, because this offense is just too good...

Drafting a punter is a waste. Most rookie punters are free-agents and not draftees.

Re: Source says Packers pick Dom Capers for the DC position Wasn't the Brown/White/Butler defense something of a hybrid, rather than the pure 4-3 the Packers have been using lately? I'm not at all worried about the 4-3 "tradition", becuase it's silly to stick to a tradition for it's own sake...

Okay, Ksios, I'll bite. When you say the Packers have lost their identity, what do you mean? You sure sound like a bitter Favre fan when you say that, and we all know you're a Favre fan. So, if you don't mean Favre, what do you mean?

Yeah, that seems to be the plan. The guy's clearly got skills. Better to let Finley develop and make all your moves on defense, especially now that we brought in a 3-4 guy as the new coordinator.

Hey, no one likes Ted Thompson. His mishandling of the defensive line is probably the number one reason the Packers had such a bad season. I'm not obsessed with Rodgers; I just acknowledge him as a good quarterback. The only people who don't are those whose idealized image of Brett Favre would...

You must have been watching a different Brett Favre than the one I was watching. Over the last three seasons (two of which were with Chad Pennington), Cotchery and Coles have averaged a combined 1,848 yards a season. That's with six missed games between them and sharing the ball with a solid...

What made the Jets defense and running game look bad at the end of the season was the constant turnovers. And guess who was turning the ball over? Good ol' Number Four. It was noted by the commentators in the Jets' last game against the Dolphins that Favre himself turned the ball over twice as...

Neither of those teams would even give TO a look. They're both in the rebuilding stage and won't have a look at a championship for another couple of years; they have nothing to gain from signing an expensive 35-year-old. And the Lions are likely dedicated to Calvin Johnson as their number one...

I won't try to compare individuals, but try to come up with better pairs of WRs in the NFL than Cotchery and Coles. Fitzgerald and Boldin, Jennings and Driver, maybe Smith and Muhammad.There is no denying that the Jets have one of the best WR pairs in football. And the Jets could afford to have...

I wasn't calling for his head, but I wasn't too excited in 2008 about the prospect of bringing back a 38-year-old quarterback who broke down in cold weather and hadn't done any work in the offseason. 1) Favre fell apart when it got cold in 2007. Not exactly the kind of problem you want to have...

If this were true, Winston Moss would already have been named the defensive coordinator. Clearly, they want someone else. We may end up with him, but he's obviously not the Packers' first choice.

If I'm Jerry Jones, I kick TO to the curb ASAP. He drops way too many passes, he keeps Romo from taking command of the offense, and they really don't need him. Romo's got Whitten, Williams, and Crayton to throw to, and they've got Barber and Jones on the ground. TO does more harm than good to...

How many special teams coaches are out there, really?

My #1 reason for optimism next season is the passing game. Aaron Rodgers just finished one of the best seasons for a first-year starting quarterback in history. We have two legitimate star wide recievers, two more wide recievers who could be starters on other teams, and two rookies in Jermichael...
