Yeah, you're right in regards Burnette but can we upgrade? What do you think of Iloka(sp)? At his size could he be somewhat a specialized S ie. covering TEs?
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

My biggest concern in GB is the actual use of our RBs. I feel that we don't use them nearly enough. I would love for us to land a great RB and let our OL pin their ears back and run block - maybe surprise a few defenses here and there, and wear them out in the process.

It would be healthier for Rodgers, for our own defense, and our WRs. Make other teams honor our rushing attack (one that I don't think we have, as much as I like Starks, and all 5 of the draftees listed, MM just doesn't commit enough to the run IMO), take some heat off Rodgers and control the clock a bit better, giving our D some rest.

I wish McCarthy would dedicate himself to changing that up a little in GB.

Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work.
Hard work is the price we must pay for success.
I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price

Yeah, tough draft for safeties. And to think Barron, the best of the lot, is coming off double hernia repair. Ted should have some kind of trick up his sleeve here, but I don't think it is entirely necessary.

As for the RBs, I would love for us to add Martin or Polk - as long as Ted adds a pass rush. Starks hasn't been available nearly enough. Saine seems serviceable. Green, we have no idea if he will pan out. I've been dying for us to run the football and kill some clock.

BTW, really interesting article on the use of the RB in today's NFL from National Football Post:

Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (56m) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (1h) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (1h) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (2h) : 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 (3h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (3h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (3h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (3h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.
TheKanataThrilla (3h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense
dfosterf (3h) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
TheKanataThrilla (4h) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback
Mucky Tundra (4h) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
dfosterf (5h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (6h) : 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 (6h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (6h) : 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 (6h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (6h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (6h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (8h) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
dfosterf (10h) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
Zero2Cool (10h) : what is Schefter saying?
dfosterf (10h) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (10h) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (17h) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (17h) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
Mucky Tundra (17h) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons
Mucky Tundra (17h) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious
dfosterf (22h) : *Orzech*
dfosterf (22h) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension
Zero2Cool (23h) : Packers signed someone for three year deal
Zero2Cool (23h) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know
wpr (26-Aug) : YES!!!!!!
Mucky Tundra (26-Aug) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : @JJLahey · 2m Holy crap, Packers, where the heck is the list?
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : haha folks on Tweeter every year this time ... 'where is list Packers!!" hahaha
wpr (26-Aug) : He played pretty good.
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NAZIR STACKHOUSE HAS MADE THE 53
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NOOOOO KALEN IS GONE
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Kalen King and Kamal Hadden making it. me thinks
schroeder84 (26-Aug) : @dfosterf I suspect Elgersma WILL be hard to hide. Raw, but talented
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : pp.com is broken, halt testing, gotta go do work things for a bit
hardrocker950 (26-Aug) : Mecole Hardman was released, to the surprise of few
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : PP.com updated. Reset Password works, and now User Profile pages are a thing
Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : Soft hope plan is having fantasy football weekly on-site that i build. cannot do that with this setup.
Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : It's older technology, resource hog, cannot be upgraded/changed. That's to start.
packerfanoutwest (25-Aug) : Ok, but what is wrong with this site?
Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : check out packerpeople.com
Mucky Tundra (25-Aug) : Oh crap I missed that! I thought it was a 2026 pick
