Green Bay --- The last three years, the Green Bay Packers' rushing attack has ranked 20th, 27th and 24th. And so often, it hasn't mattered. The Packers won a Super Bowl in 2010, they went 15-1 in 2011. They took two division titles.

Hahaha, better at drawing the safeties up, so Aaron can throw deep.

God, I would hope so. He'll have Bulaga and Sherrod back. EDS is better than Saturday last year should get better with experience, along with other young Olinemen. All our veteran RBs are young and should get better plus we drafted two with very good potential. He sure didn't go too far out on a limb with that prediction.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

5500 stat whoring yards along with 50 tds!!! BOOOM!

best part of it all? Nermann whining the whole time while they win game after game. Sometimes I wonder if he is purple or not.

back on topic-

I expect nothing less than the running game to be better than it has been. Mainly because it really can not get much worse. But also because of the draft picks they used on RBs. And finally because they have shifted the OL around.

I really don't have much faith in the veteran rbs so let's hope Lacy and Franklin step it up.

Side note-
For all those who agonize over these OTAs remember what Mike said.

We have to get in pads to find out what’s real and what’s perception.

This is what should be written in big letters.

Pay a guy 20+mil a year........He better be doing a lot of STAT-WHORING!!!!!!!(beginning to love that term)

Today's NFL is geared for teams to score, score, and score more!!!!!

That's just the way it is, get used to it, it's not going away.

I myself miss the days of The teams in the old Black and Blue divisions beating each other up for 3 hours only to have one team win 3-0 or 9-7.
Defense will never be the same with all the rule changes.

What I am hoping happens with the early setting of the starters on the O-line, plus the addition of Lacy and Franklin that at some point, when The Packers are up by 17+ points that they turn to the running game to put teams away and run out the clock.

Fans who think The Packers are gonna come out of the gate running the ball down other teams throats are going to be deeply disappointed.

Especially early in the year when the weather does not have musc of an effect on games.

Side note.....I wonder if we as Packer fans can get Webster to officially recognize "statwhore" as a real word???
anybody know the process?

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

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.

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

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
