We've seen four games now. What are you thoughts regarding Cedric Benson, Aaron Rodgers, offensive line, the Packers defense and the tackling? Any thoughts?

I think we can afford to let Greg Jennings go. No one wants to see that, but the realities of the salary structures dictate something has to give. I like him as much as the next fan.

I've been pleasantly surprised by Cedric. When Mike is calling his number, he has been producing. It's great to see a 4.5 yard average and it's great to have a running back who can consistently contribute in the passing game. When we signed him, I hated it. Now, I love it.

Aaron Rodgers, along with all the other top QB's in this league started slow. He has been going through his typical early season issues. Holding the ball too long, looking for the long ball too much. As we saw today he is starting to relax a little bit and take what the defense is giving him, and releasing it quickly.

The offensive line has been average. They've struggled at times, but excelled at others. The amount of sacks they have given up misrepresents their actual play, Rodgers is to blame for at least 4 of them. I am still convinced we need a new offensive line coach, however. The run blocking by this team has been garbage for years. Hurry up, Sherrod.

I can't decide how I feel about the defense yet. They are slightly improved over last year, I think. Much of the issues still remain from last year, however. They give up way too many yards in long yardage situations, they aren't stopping teams on 3rd down enough. Someone besides Clay Matthews needs to step up in the pass rush. I do think our tackling has improved, however. I think we need to play more man, and less zone.

Fucking Brees was awesome this aft. I hate that sonofabitch. For planning purposes, all those bastards that have the potential to be great WILL be great against us. Fucker don't do shit until he comes to GB. Figures. Like we didn't know he could. Thank you Jesus, we dodged a MAJOR situation, here.

I think the first four games of the schedule was brutal for the Packers. We should be 3-1, but are 2-2 and need to move on.

Is EDS a better option at Center than Saturday, cause I am not impressed with the veteran? He is getting overpowered too much.

I think the defense has too many young players to judge it just yet. Hate, hate, hate the conservative play calling out of Capers.

Really like what Cobb and Benson bring to the offense. Would like to see some of Green too. I'd like to see our receivers get a little more physical, as it seems d-coordinators are trying to disrupt our rythem. And if they are getting mauled, they need to fight back.

I'm really pleased with Sam Shields play this season.

Sam Shields is the real deal.

We gotta get heat to the QB or the whole back-end looks like ass, in spite of talent.

Forgotten trivia--

Aaron Rodgers worked out with Brees for a couple of seasons in the off-season while backing Brett. I distinctly remember Aaron speaking of how Brees was such a great mentor at that time, and how he (Rodgers) looked up to him as such a great example of a fine work ethic in addition to the obvious skills. I remember thinking how the national media was missing this possibly important connection.

From everything I know, Drew Brees has had a major impact on Aaron Rodgers' success, so that needs to be said while I call him a motherfucker.
Fan Shout
Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
