From what I'm seeing though, I really wouldn't be surprised to see Capers with a new package that has Bishop, Smith, and Hawk all on the field. Either that, or one of the backup ILBs should be given a chance to fight for the spot opposite Clay Matthews.

I think about what may come when the post-season starts, and I giggle about the Pack's opponents.

My only question, will McCarthy on offense or Capers on defense offer opposing teams more annoying new "saved in the playbook just for the playoffs" stuff?

They're going to go into the games breaking down film on how to stop the Packers do A, B, ..., N on offense, and then McCarthy will add O, P, Q, and R. And they'll be thinking, everyone moves the ball on this defense, all we have to do is give the DBs no opportunities to jump the ball and get turnovers...and then Capers will throw like 4 new different defensive looks at them in the first quarter.

They'll be so busy saying "WTF?", that when McCarthy and Capers go back to what they were doing all year, they'll fall into the same traps everyone else has.

Just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Packer team: "DOMINATE!"

Good lord. Based on some of the posts you would have thought I had said cut Hawk, start Francois.

So, it's now not permissible to think/say a player on the Packers can make a particular play better than another player on the Packers?

I'm not a Hawk basher. I think Hawk/Bishop make a pretty good ILB combination.

I just recognize Hawk's not THE top linebacker in the league, and that there are some things that other LBs do better than he does. And I just thought those two interceptions were plays that Hawk would not have made.

So it's looking like Pickett will be out this week with the concussion. That should mean Raji will pick up his snaps at nose guard which is where he played so well last year, especially down the stretch. What do you guys think, he starts blowing it up again?

I'm not sure if this was posted, but ESPN wrote up a little something (and video) about the Packers defensive numbers ... lying?

The winter weather will also start to be more of a factor in the rest of the games this season. Especially with the us knowing that the games will all be at home. This may help give the defense an edge.

wpr (9h) : Only 4
wpr (9h) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (12h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (13h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : 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?
