We always seem to fall into the same old trap. The guy on the bench is better or has more POTENTIAL than the proven veteran. I too like these young receivers and hope we are able to hold onto them but I know this for a fact. Donald Driver is a proven, gifted, talented, gutsy end who has given...

Conventional Wisdom Given the weather conditions expected, I think most fans would feel that the game will be decided by the running game and the dominance of the interior linemen. The problem with that thinking is that it often turns out not to be the case. Most likely the game will be...

Apparently there are very few "greybeard" Packer fans reading this thread. It's Packers vs Lions on Thanksgiving in Detroit! Doesn't anyone else remember Alex Karas destroying Bart Starr on Thanksgiving in Detroit! I am getting old but I'll never forget that day! Beware!!!!!!!!!!!!

After reading the JS article about the zone blocking scheme McCarthy and "Jags" will be implementing, I think Calhoun would be an excellent choice for that system. The Badgers use that type of blocking and Calhoun was great at setting up the blocks, reading the blocks and then accelerating...

I must respectfully disagree with the comments on Mike Martz. Faulk was the league MVP in 2000. It doesn't matter to me if he got his yards running or receiving. Kurt Warner was the MVP in '99 and '01. The Ram's piled up some of the most impressive yardage and point totals in NFL history...

No Packer fan can be looking forward to the day Favre retires. However, when that day comes, I will be very interested in his comments about the Packer coaching and offensive philosophy he has seen and been subjected to throughout his career. He may refuse to comment at all but, if he chooses to...

Insightful comments as usual, Net. What are your feelings about our young CB'S? Do you think Carroll or Thomas are in the long range plans or will we have to look elsewhere?

I think the key is KGB. If you believe he is a DE, you have to go with a 4-3. If you think he might be more versatile as an OLB in a 3-4 that's the way to go. In either defense, his primary job would remain as a pass rushing specialist.
