In 2012, Packers linebacker Desmond Bishop never saw the field after suffering a hamstring injury in the preseason. In 2013, Bishop thinks he's going to be the best defensive player in the NFL. Bishop told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he keeps a notebook with everything he plans to do for the whole season, and

Can't cover.

He stood up Apete in 4th and short, but we need 'backers who can cover.

Realistically we need guys who can do some of both. I think with the improved line and more disciplined secondary, he'll have a better year, but I think he's on his last contract with the team and I doubt he makes it to the end of it.

I wish I knew what was in the head of Ted Thompson or whoever is behind these trade block rumors.

When Bishop first came along, before I ever got the impression he played tough, my impression of him was a LB who did a good job of dropping into coverage.

It seems patently obvious that Bishop is better than either Hawk or Jones. The only thing I can figure, and I hope it isn't true, is he is somehow damaged goods after the injury - and if that's the case, what do they expect? Some team is gonna give value for him without a good medical checkup? The whole rumor of trade just doesn't make sense.

I think you hit the nail on the head with that last paragraph. Concerns over recovery from injury (and likelihood of further injury) with Barnett are what got Bishop the job in the first place.

I don't think there was anything to those so called rumors. Really. No one was going to give up anything for a high cap figure vet coming off that injury.

He is our best ILB. He is tenacious and will battle to get his starting spot back. All I know is his competition is much better with Barrington and Mulumba challenging. Both of those young guys look very promising.

Bishop will be challenged in a very big way.

For an OLB, maybe.
