    #3 Running Back

    None of the RB's bring what Rip does as a blocker or more importantly this year on ST. Your comments about the #3 considerations above though I think are right on. I don't think Neal has the traits to tote the rock with any consistency which is why I prefer Harris. This year though, I think Neal...

    One explanation that makes sense is that he got his bell rung and needed time but didn't want to go through concussion protocol and likely be out of the game entirely. Sitting out at that point, along with the sidestepping of subsequent questioning is consistent with that. He obviously can't...

    #52

    Those are tough - and fair - questions. Hopefully he can put a full healthy year together but it doesn't seem to be trending that way right from the start once again. If healthy there's no telling what he and the defense can do. If he continues to miss time with elbows and groins though, it...

    I agree with this. Hayward is a very good cover-man inside but he is not a good blitzer. Far too often he gets out of control and either runs by or is easily pushed past the QB. Rollins has shown to be a physical tackler and has great control on the run. Whether it's nickel, dime or some exotic...

    Brett Hundley Round 5

    Yeah but not this year yet. His value is the lowest it's likely to ever be right now. Give him a year or two to mature physically and develop an understanding of how to play QB at this level, slot him into #2 QB after Tolzien moves on next year, let him flash some more next preseason and in real...

    Brett Hundley Round 5

    It looks like they'll need to this year. He looks like he could have a future. If he shows any more of the mobility, arm strength and command that he flashed in the first preseason game (and there's every reason to believe he'll only get better), he'd be gone quicker than the Vikings in the...

    Love it. No disrespect to the Golden Boy, but he doesn't get extra credit for kicking in my book. Sex, booze and gambling? Sure I'll give him that. But not kicking. Pound for pound, Jim Taylor was as badass as there's ever been on the football field. "Jim Brown will give you that leg and then...

    #3 Running Back

    I'm on the Harris bandwagon too. Good feet for a big, punishing back and he looks like he has decent hands as well. Neal is a reliable receiver out of the backfield but a pedestrian runner IMO. The guy who picks up the blitz best and can add value on special teams will likely earn the spot...

    Not practicing and rumored to be considering retirement.

    Good stuff thanks TJV. Starr and Nitschke from the Lombardi years makes sense to me. I do tend to agree that White's number retired may be a tad generous, as is Canadeo's IMO. That's just my opinion though. I think if Hutson, Starr, Nitschke, and Favre were the only numbers retired, it would set...

    2015 Packers notes

    Maybe it is the trap chute, but Pennel's in beast mode thus far. Granted the Pats didn't have their full starting line playing, but he was a man among boys throwing guys aside and blowing up plays. So far it seems like the assistant o-line coach from SF is a keeper. Lang and Sitton were...

    If he plays another 8 years like he says? No. Not to belabor the obvious, but I was once again amazed watching him move and throw. Such great command, vision, feet, mobility, and that arm. The way he shoots lasers downfield on the money while on the run - going left or right - is the best I've...

    Preseason NE game - winners and losers

    Agreed. I also agree that, given Thompson's MO, even if not Barclay (remains to be seen), the answer likely lies within the roster. At minimum they'll have every opportunity possible. Maybe besides Gunter (whom a lot of people liked going in including me), Josh Walker looks like the surprise of...

    Preseason NE game - winners and losers

    True. It seems to be a combination of the two actually. Here are s a couple snippets from an article on the subject.

    Preseason NE game - winners and losers

    I hope that's right and I'm no ACL expert. He went down hard more than once when planting and rotating on the leg to protect the edge. He was fine moving forward in the run game and anchoring against bull rushes. That wasn't the case against weak speed moves around the right edge with the big...
