This place is cosy, in a non cabin fever kind of way. I really wouldn't want to talk Packers elsewhere.

I... I am a football junkie.. I will talk it, watch it, debate it, argue over it.. and used to play it whenever, wherever I can...

I am an addict... hell I watch youth football and start breaking down players... borderline illness.. lol.. so I hit football sites.

I am a member of a Charger, Raider, Bengal, Viking and Florida State forum as well... probably will have to find another college program to embrace now that Bobby was forced out..

Needless to say.. I roam and talk football a bunch. This is home though.. because of the people.

I knew you would join in this conversation. I am really proud of how long you were able to sit on the sidelines. That was real self restraint my friend.

Yes that was. I got to the point where I was skipping any conversation because it always ended up the same way. Kind of like how no matter what you talk about in a political forum, it always goes to Nazis/Adolph Hitler. At that point, any real dialog is over and it becomes a shouting match.

It wasn't so much a shouting match here as it was hearing the same thing over and over and over again. It got old.

I thought Kevin handled it pretty well. Kudos.

Eng - Exactly. It's about the right size. You don't want a site too big that it becomes impersonal, but too small that you never see any updates.

Pack - Why Chargers if I may ask? Chargers used to be my 2nd favorite team in the early 80s because I love the pass (nothing has changed). The Chargers kept it in the air all the time, and they were fun to watch. Then coincidently, the Packers started doing the same thing and I had lost interest in the Chargers.

Kellen Winslow, Dan Fouts, Charlie Joiner, John Jefferson and Don Coryell... mostly Kellen Winslow though.. dude was a rock of a tight end. I would watch all the Chargers football I could back then.. Municie was another favorite back then... never the greatest back in the world but I liked his grit.

I was young yet.. but I remember studying that offense and thinking damn that is how to exploit the game.. 30 years later.. many of the same principles are still in the game.

When John Jefferson came to the Packers is when I stopped watching the Chargers as we became the Chargers. Paul Coffman was not as good as Kellen Winslow, but he filled Winslow's role of being the 3rd target often in the middle of the field. Gerry Ellis was a poor man's Chuck Muncie. And as good as Joiner was, Lofton was better.

Fouts was a blast to watch, but Dickey had the better long ball. :wav:

Well growing up following the 70's predictable Packers offense.. when I caught the Chargers in the late 70's... it was so foreign to me that I had to learn about it.

We didn't get a ton of Charger games in Wisconsin.. so I would tape them on beta tapes and watch them again and again... I think my parent tossed them when they moved from the farm in the early 90's... I had probably 50, 60 tapes full of games or parts of them that I wanted to keep.. studying formations.. defenses.. players.. you name it...

I was also a diehard Tom Landry fan.. along with Starbach, Dorsett, Randy White, Ed Jones, Charlie Waters, Robert Newsome,Tony Hill and Drew Pearson.. I was young but one of the moments I never forgot in all these years...

Was this gem... [img_r]http://rootzoo.com/article_photo_uploads/DoomsDaddy_15299_8576.jpg[/img_r]

I'll always have a soft spot for Roger Staubach. First football I ever owned was a Roger Staubach football. It had instructions on how to properly throw a football. I followed them to a T.

People said I threw the ball hard and assumed it was because of a strong arm. It wasn't. It was all proper mechanics. Dang I wish I was there in Wisconsin sometimes. I'd show you what I mean.

I was seven or eight when I got my first football, and a die hard Packers fan and didn't hate the Cows until 1982. You probably know the moment I'm referring to.

Dorsett I have a soft spot for as well. He had elusive moves and was just fun to watch. I didn't know he passed up Jim Brown until recently. Weird to see he ended up so high on the all-time rushing list and played as long as he did.

Fan Shout
Martha Careful (23h) : 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) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th
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: โ€œGot in a fight with the bench press. I lost.โ€
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though
TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes
Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.
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
