I liked Zombo, but I don't recall him dominating in a game like Walden did against the Bears in Week 17.

Yeah, for no other reason than this I go with Walden. He's a guy, when the other team is watching tape, you see that chicago game and all of a sudden you've gotta game plan for this guy, I think moreso than a guy like Zombo, because we've all seen what happens when you dont do a good job against him.

Zombo had a lot of opportunities across from Mathews, who was getting double and triple teamed, Walden is the only guy who has really show the ability to take full advantage of the lack of attention given to him, to the tune of 3 sacks.

Packers LB Zombo back at practice Friday; Walden rests ankle
Associated Press
Published: Jan. 28, 2011 at 06:19 p.m. Updated: Jan. 29, 2011 at 12:32 p.m.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Packers have some questions about their depth at outside linebacker as they prepare for the Super Bowl.

Frank Zombo is back at practice, but Erik Walden sat out Friday and might not return to the practice field until next week, leaving his status for the Feb. 6 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers in doubt.

Zombo is an undrafted free agent who became a starter in the wake of injuries. He has missed the Packers' last six games because of a right knee injury but said Friday he had no pain.

Walden was signed in midseason and has played well. He hurt his ankle during last Sunday's NFC Championship Game victory at Chicago.

The Packers practice in Green Bay this weekend before traveling to Texas on Monday.

Zombo is more physical. We saw that with his sacks in the Pre-Season. Walden is more athletic.

I expect Zombo to start while Capers rotates Walden in during obvious passing situations.

I was reading an article about how Zombo and Jones were the two of the least successful players at pressuring the quarterback. Let me see if i can find that article

Well it looks like Walden is the starter, if healthy.

McCarthy:

(If Walden can go on Wednesday, is he the starter?)
Well be fine. Erik Walden is our starting outside linebacker. Hes not going to be replaced because of an injury. Hes earned that through his production down the stretch here. Hes going through a medical situation right now, and well give him every opportunity to get ready for the game.

A somewhat decent pass rusher and horrible run suppor player or an average player against both the pass and the run.

I don't really have that big of a preference here.

Who would be better? I would go with Walden, for the reasons everybody else, including Mike McCarthy, has cited, but putting Zombo in there on obvious run downs gives us the best of both worlds.

tough choice. Biggest game of their lives. Both will be pumped up. But I hope they don't get so excited they forget to play their position.
Walden gets the nod unless the Coach sees something he can exploit in Pitt.

I'll admit that I haven't focused on Walden much lately, but when Zombo was playing I always thought he got swallowed a lot on run plays. Apparently I'm the only one in this forum that feels that way (that or Walden is even worse).

I'd like Walden in there, for the sake of continuity. BangtheDrum is right on.

Zero2Cool (9h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (13h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (13h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (14h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (14h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (14h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (14h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (14h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (14h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (14h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (14h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (14h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (15h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (15h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (17h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (17h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (17h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
