Green Bay --- Just caught up with former Packers defensive tackle Gilbert Brown for a few minutes. Brown is again hosting football camps this summer with one this month in West Bend June 18-20. Here are Brown's thoughts on where the Packers' defense stands, whether or not B.J. Raji deserves a long-term deal and how quarterbacks have changed since he played:

I love the Gravedigger. He knows the game.

Last season and the season before we lacked the up front pressure and the stout LB play to shut teams down. Those two areas would have made all the difference in the world to contain our opponents and add Ws, instead of taking Ls... This season should be very different in a good way with both areas addressed, along with a more dedicated rushing attack.

It is unfortunate they couldn't get a long term deal done for Raji with an extension.

Gilbert is one of my favorite all time player also. I agree with him that Raji is important to us. With better support around him and having to play less snaps I believe his play will pick up quite a bit.
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I thought it was interesting he brought up Perry a couple of times.
I don't disagree that SF is a physical team but I thought our problems on defense were far more reaching in the lack of discipline area than physicality.
Every big play I saw against us did not result from getting rolled over by bigger or stronger players. Our defenders ran themselves out of position far to often.
Walden had to know he IS the read in the read option and if he gets sucked inside on a run play a QB like CK is going to tuck the ball and go.

I saw a DL inside CM3 get sucked over to the left on a play Colin cuts back right through for a TD untouched. CM3 had taken too wide of an angle and he was no help. Our defensive guys were not getting pancaked out there. 101 football. Get from point A to point B without getting caught up in making a play and if everyone is in position at point B SOMEBODY will be where the ball is.

Smash mouth knocking guys around football is great but won't do us much good when they are 5 yards out of position. Against SF I saw it way to often.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.
Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.
