3rd and long = deep drop. With our line and Rodgers confidence/coaching/experience... 5-7 step drops are going to be a nightmare for a long time.

Between previous lineups of Barnett, Hawk, Popinga and the current ILB crew... which player has shown improvement under Moss' coaching? Most of them regressed in my opinion. I don't buy him as a legit coaching candidate. I really don't buy ANYONE who hasn't at least been a coordinator.

Lezley Frazier or Jim Harbaugh. I don't care what his title is, Winston Moss has never developed players at his position. Capers has never cut it as more than a coordinator. If we eat McCarthy's contract, we're not going to pay triple that money to one of the other guys.

I think I've said in another thread that the record this year doesn't matter as much as the defensive performance. By changing schemes, McCarthy/Thompson have given themselves this year as a bit of a bye. I'm going to be watching where the defense ranks the 2nd half of the year. I especially...

It's fair. Kirwin points out in his rankings that it might be low. The team lost a lot of close games this year, but they fixed a horrid defense by making it different, not necessarily better. A lot of the defensive performance will depend on two rookies at the most important positions and a...

He's got 2 total tackles (1 solo, 1 asst) in 4 preseason games with Miami. Not much to judge by...

I own the domain packer-talk.com. I thought I was going to do something with it, but ran out of time/motivation. I figured I'd see if anyone wanted it. If you do, send me a message and I'll give you the authorization code to do the transfer.

They gave him the minimum UFA tender, didn't they? That means any other team is free to offer him a contract, but the Packers get to match any offer. If he signed with another team, there would be no loss of draft picks by the team that signed him. So... if he's such a star, why hasn't any...

The Packer fans should be worried, but not scared. The majority of NFL teams cannot compete in a capless world. There are definitely teams that could and would spend far beyond the current cap level to win, but a majority could not afford to keep up. While the Packers are probably a team that...

So, my car was hit while parked and needed to go in for a week worth of repairs... during which time I've been driving a loaner and have had to listen to local radio. I found the Milwaukee AM sports stations and have been subjected to a solid week of people screaming about TT not going after...

He ran an okay time in the shuttle and a pretty good time in the cone, so he's got some quickness to him. The 40 time is disappointing no matter what scheme he is in, but I'd be more concerned about it if we were staying in man-man. I just think of how often Al Harris gets burned on go routes...

Capers is going to run a very similar system to the Cowboys. While the linemen get into the backfield a bit more than other systems, that doesn't mean that your 5 technique guy (Canty) is a big sack producer. A better way to look at it is that your pass rushing 7 technique guy (at this point...

I'd love to see Canty in a Packer uniform. I think that'd be the best big impact free agent move we could make. He'd give us a very good line and we'd even have a bit of depth as Pickett/Cole could rotate in the middle a bit. After that we could focus on getting an outside linebacker in the...

Al Davis would go for TO because he loves the star players and would love the media attention. However, TO would never sign there and Davis couldn't afford him anyway.

I keep hearing from people who know things that Haslett is the guy.
