All that work down the drain. I never saw any potential in him, myself, but now he will never have the chance to prove me wrong. I hope he finds a good career.

The Pack's failure to draft an OLB looks even more conspicuous now, but I bet they knew before the draft that Jeremy Thompson was done. Brad Jones, it's all on you now, with Poppinga and Obozior as backups.

Greg.. we do have another sleeper of sorts on the roster.. albeit he didn't have a ton of experience.

Not to mention that I think if the right veteran pops up during the off season we may be a buyer..

Another thought.. could Chillar man the Outside in a crunch?

Well, wish the best for the guy. That really sucks.

As for the Packers, we now have a depth issue at OLB. Is Poppinga going to be our #2 man at both the Left and the Right side or are we going to pick up one more OLB?

I'm not as high on Obiozor as most, but I really liked this guy. I think that he could make somewhat of an impact.

This is one of the positives of a 3-4. You can get guys who go undrafted or very late who turn out to be great 3-4 OLB players, they just never got the chance in college.

Of course, you do get unlucky on a 4-3 DE who turns into a 3-4 OLB from time to time, but it can work out very favorable, as well.

Adalius Thomas is still out there if we wanted a veteran in the mix...

Thanks. I hadn't heard of that guy. I'm guessing that, like Obozior, he is still a couple years away from being a really solid player, even if he continues to develop.

I have heard some talk of shifting Chillar to the outside in some situations. I think it's worth trying.

Okay, maybe it was in a sub-package and a flukey play, but I can imagine that they use him at OLB when they have to.

"I have consulted with a number of physicians, and due to my medical condition my intention is to retire from football," Thompson said in a statement released by the Packers. "I am thankful to the Packers organization and to the fans for their support during my time in Green Bay. The Packers are a first-class organization and I want to thank them for the opportunity to play in the NFL. There truly is no team I would have rather played for."

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)
