For years now, the Packers have been shopping for bargain-basement receivers. When will it stop? In my previous post I listed draftees including: Charles Johnson and Kevin Dorsey (Round 7, 2013), and tight ends like ...
Prior to Ed’s recent post on the draft, I hadn’t realized Geronimo Allison is about to become a free agent. This poses quite a dilemma. Who knows what we have in Geronimo? In three seasons, ...
After a 2018 season that resulted in a cleaning of the house, the Green Bay Packers must begin a rebuild of sorts as they prepare for the 2019 season. New head coach Matt LaFleur has ...
Just day-dreaming out loud here, but wouldn’t it be nice if the Josh McDaniels joined LaFleur’s coaching staff? With Mike McCarthy now out of the Lambeau Field exit door, Matt LaFleur now has the task ...
With only 16 points put up, Super Bowl LIII wasn’t much of a game to watch. Nor was the game as close as the score might suggest. The Patriots, in outgaining the Rams 407 yards ...
Let’s try to get those blood pressure readings back down. Sure, change is usually accompanied by some anxiety. But too many Packers faithful are unnecessarily worried, skeptical, and even pessimistic. I’ve jotted down a few ...
My previous premise was that the Packers need more talent in the WR2 slot if they are to return to being a playoff team. Of seven WRs on the current roster – Geronimo Allison, Marquez ...
The Packers are looking high and low for a productive slot receiver. Randall Cobb has gone downhill ever since Green Bay gave him a four-year $40 million contract after his great 2014 season. It’s ...
Opinions are all over the map about the Packers’ wide receiver corps. One commenter goes so far as to say it’s the team’s second deepest position. This might be true in terms of numbers, but ...
What’s the first you saw of new head coach Matt LaFleur? Probably a still photo. It revealed to me a lean, lanky, raw-boned, short-haired, no-frills youthful guy – by god, a millennial who looks like ...
After seventeen seasons in the NFL, Julius Peppers recently announced his retirement. While originally and again most recently with the Carolina Panthers, he spent a few seasons at Green Bay lazily passing the time away. ...
I recall one of the first drips coming in early January, when tight end Marcedes Lewis opened up to Yahoo Sports about the McCarthy-Rodgers dysfunction. He recounted a time he was in the huddle and ...
We can debate just how much influence an NFL team’s assistant coaches have over a team’s ultimate success. I seldom get excited when new assistant coaches are added to or subtracted from the team. You ...
Another Packers Blog posted something by Peter Bukowski that caught my attention. The gist of it is that despite having less success than Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers, Saints counterparts Sean Payton and Drew Brees ...
Did you read my take on how the common thread of the remaining four NFL playoff teams is they are all passing powerhouses? That’s a pretty obvious fact, but now let’s merge it with how ...
Every NFL coach recites it like it was proclaimed in the bible. Each NFL player is taught this answer in case some interviewer brings up the question. Don’t believe it for a second. “Injuries are ...
One of the finer details of the offense that Matt LaFleur is about to install in Green Bay is that receivers are used on occasion as rushers. Though it’s a tactic used sparingly, the best ...
It’s time to stop pussyfootin’ around: if Aaron Rodgers wants to RETURN to being a top-tier quarterback, and lead his team back to making postseason runs at the Super Bowl, he needs to COMMIT to ...
After a tough 6-9-1 season, the Green Bay Packers began retooling first with the hiring of Matt LaFleur as new head coach, quickly followed by Nathaniel Hackett as offensive coordinator. Looking ahead to the 2019 ...
While Ron Zook is out as special teams coach and new prospects are being interviewed, looking back on the 2018 season for Packers’ special teams is very grim. On that note, looking back on the ...
