I have a gut feeling that the Packers are going to sign a major player in the next two weeks.

Does anyone else here feel it. Feel the heat? Feel the suspicion?

Merriman? Serious as a heart attack. I think Ted is going to pull something off. This team is so close. So very close. I truly believe there will be a major move. Perhaps not Merriman but some surprising (Un TED Like Manover.)

It is waking me up in the middle of the night.

I just feel it.

I would like to see a big move. I think it would make a statement that we are making a push to go to the superbowl. The only news I have seen on the radar are that the packers are looking at Westbrook :

I would prefer Merriman over Westbrook.

gbguy20 - Man, I had no idea that article was that dated- I guess I saw the Broncos and the Redskins interest in Westbrook today and thought this article was recent since he is still looking for a home.

Screw Merriman - never liked him. Didn't even want us to draft him. And he's sucked ever since he got off the juice. 38 tackles and 4 sacks in two years (15 games)? And the stupid "lights out" dance is even worse than Barnett's samurai dance.

Bring on Jared Gaither.

Left to right: Gaither, Spitz, Wells, Sitton, Bulaga. With Clifton, Tauscher, Lang and the best of the rest backing them up? Are you kidding me?

No. I don't get that feeling.

I do get the feeling though that this team we got right now as of 5/13/2010 is good enough to win it all. Give Aaron time, generate pressure on the opposing QB, and DB depth.

Those were our 3 weaknesses from last year. I think they've been addressed. This team is for real. We'll win 12+ games and at least one Playoff game. I can feel that.

Packers on cusp of greatness? 

This article somewhat pertains to this issue...it quotes LeRoy a lot and becomes a bit of a Ted Thompson bashing article referencing his unwillingness to sign a single FA this year (other than cliffy and Taush).

I agree with Zombie, though, that I don't really get that feeling inspite of what Ted said after the draft (he's working to upgrade OLB). I really can't see him pulling a 'blockbuster' it's never been his style, so why would he change now?

I have to go along with Zombie on this one, other than losing Kampy and having 2 or 3 guys that have not signed their tendors(C'mon Tramon), the 2010 team is going to look a lot like the 2009 team, except for the guys drafted and IMHO Ted drafted for the future.

There will always be that surprise guy or two(if a team is lucky)who will break into the starting lineup, but I don't think that is the case this year, what The Packers of 2010 are going to have over 2009 is good depth at most positions.

I do have a question for you RP, I saw clips of the upcoming special about "The Raider Nation", I just can't imagine you dressing up in The Black and Silver and flashing gang signs on gameday!!! lol
But you were younger back then, did you partake in all the fun?

There are still some dark horse guys out there.

I don't see us signing Westbrook, anymore. And I don't really mind. It's an overrated rookie vs a man who gets concussions on every 3rd hit. Neither will make a huge difference.

I'd love to get Merriman, but I don't know if Ted feels the same way. His actions seem to be pointing towards our staff thinking that the DE play was more of a problem than the OLB play in the pressure department. Hence the Neal pick.

A guy who is very much flying under the radar and who sounds like someone who Thompson would sign is Adalius Thomas.

I wanted us to look at Porter, who has a lot more left than Thomas, but the Cardinals threw an idiotic amount of money at him. Thomas has never been as elite a pass rusher as Porter, but he used to get the job done in Baltimore. There are enough people who blame his bad play on NE's scheme, rather than him declining.
