    Thompson: Roster is "skewed"

    I think the packers did have people with some experience but because of injuries it did not work out that way: Vernand Morency - 3rd year, 1 year in the packers system. Noah Herron - 3rd year, at least 1 year in the packers system. Brandon Miree - 3rd year, at least 1 year in the packers...

    Bourke and Barry Released

    I am okay with the Depth. Tony Moll is a backup right tackle, He showed some ability last year and they can see if he improved (got stronger). College was a left tackle in college and showed key can play. So I think Moll is the first guy in. It appears someone else beat out Bourke, so they must...

    What Rookies Make The Roster?

    Re: PACKER NATION (PN) POLL 1 Justin Harrell DT - 50% playing time this year, next year 70% 2 Brandon Jackson RB - splitting time with Morency and one more back, gets more playing time later in the season. Splits time next year with about 50% of snaps 3 James Jones WR - hard to guess, I will...

    Brady Poppinga

    A lot of people have complained about Brady's play last year, but I have high expectations for improvement. I think he improved quite a bit last year and has a lot of potential. I am not some sort of great judge of football skill but derive this opinion based on several inputs: 1) He is a...

    Why doesn't anyone like Vernand Morency?

    I think they need someone for short yardage situations. I do not think Morency has shown he can get the 1-2 tough yards blasting through people like green could.

    VERNAND MORENCY

    I do not see Morency doing it alone. I assume they will bring in someone with experience (not neccesarily a big name). I am guessing we will also see one of our other young guys carrying part of the load. I think Morency will start but see other guys getting lots of reps. I am not an expert but...

    double tight end sets

    I think the packers will go with a double tight end set. Thats why they kept 4 tight ends. This should help with the blocking. Also we only have 2 good wide receivers (1 who probably does not know all the plays yet) and our second string fullback who cannot catch. What do the rest of you think.

    State of the Packers

    Unfortunately people seem to paint the team with broad strokes. Because Harris is complaining/not showing up for OTA's the whole team has a bad attitude. What about players like Kampman, Driver, Barnett? I believe you have good and bad on every team. The question is how many leaders do you have...

    Grading the '03 draft:

    The interesting thing about the 03 draft is that we could have picked any one of 3 LBs Barnett, Boss Bailey or E. J. Henderson. Their was a lot of people questioning the Barnett pick. How does everyone think that worked out?

    So what do the Packers need to do to get this turned around?

    Re: So what do the Packers need to do to get this turned aro I did not get to see the first quarter. But from what I saw it looks like putting Caroll back in and taking out Thomas is the key. Thomas looked terrible (and had a penalty that was not accepted). Also you could really see guys pull...

    Carroll to start - who says

    From the article it seems that an unspecified source leaked that Caroll is starting, Not Coach Sherman. Sherman is not naming any of these starters so it is not suprising that Bates is not saying who it is. Sherman has said that Amad has made a lot of improvement (not sure how much you can put...

    Pathetic

    May take a while I could not see the game but from I hear it sounds painful. I wonder if what looks like a lack of effort by the defense is all the thinking going on because of a new defense. Also adding to the confusion is all the player combinations being tried. I know we are down 3 DT's but...
