This seems like an article nermann would have wrote or at least enjoyed.

Now, even on an undefeated team, there could be a role for someone who was on the practice squad a month ago.

The core of this team is set. The Packers probably will go as far as MVP front-runner Aaron Rodgers takes them. But there was one common thread on the last two Super Bowl teams here. Both the 1996 and 2010 Green Bay teams boasted late bloomers, out-of-nowhere contributors. Last year, Starks played that role. He revived a running game that seemed destined for hibernation. Who'll rise from the depths this season?

Maybe Saine. Maybe defensive end Mike Neal. Maybe one of the young inside linebackers.

Saine may not get much of a chance but pressure from Neal up front would really help the defense pick it up a notch.

not that I am aware of. That is why I think it would be helpful if he were to step up and put more pressure on the QB.

It would be great if Neal would blossom into a pass rushing phenom, but I'm just hoping that he becomes reliable and solid. Reliable in terms of playing every week and solid in terms of not making mistakes. I would take reliable/solid over phenominal/miss 6 weeks. I know many disagree but I think the entire D-line will benefit from having another body in the rotation.

I think the emegerence of Shields last year easily played a bigger part in our success than Starks. Shame Shields hasn't kept upping his game this season.

He most certainly did do something noteworthy, he finished the game on the field, not the trainers office.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
