Bishop's departure part of Packers' 'transition' on defense

Green Bay --- The Green Bay Packers won't know if they made the right decision on Desmond Bishop for a while. Letting a starting inside linebacker sign with a division rival could backfire, it could prove to be a footnote.

i really liked bishop alot , he is a true warrior out there, but his health is always a big concern. if he would have stayed healthy , he would still be a green bay packer !!

I miss him. I miss his intensity and his knack for making impact plays. I hope the new guys make me forget about him. This one hurt me more than Greg Jennings.

I think they liked Manning and possibly Barrington better than they like Bishop.

But who know? The injury was a big deal too.

Bishop may have been able to help Green Bay in that playoff embarrassment at San Francisco. But Capers also notes that the Packers' defense was better overall in 2012 (when Bishop was out) than it was in 2011.

“I think we have a more athletic group and you throw a couple new guys in there, when you compare 2011 to 2012, we made big strides," Capers said. "Unfortunately, that last game skewed everybody’s opinion. We went from 32nd (in total defense) to 11th with nine guys who didn’t have any plays the year before. So hopefully that ends up playing dividends this year."

Great quote.

I was really surprised to see Bishop let go, even despite the injuries. After all, Harrell and Neal stuck/have stuck around despite being hurt often. I also really liked Bishop as a guy who brought intensity to the field without making it into a Barnett-like circus. In hindsight though, with his and Hawk's ages weighing into the equation it seems like the coaches may be sacrificing a small amount in the short term in order to allow other players to step in and develop reaping - benefits in the future.

Capers said. "Unfortunately, that last game skewed everybody’s opinion.

That is because the real season is the playoffs. If you get beat like a red headed stepchild in the playoffs your season is not all that successful even if you did go 16-0. The real goal is to win championships not to go undefeated in the regular season.

This was 2 times Capers had a team with a "top 15" ranking and had an all-time bad showing in the playoffs so dont tell me what your ranking was.

I understand that sentimentality. But I propose this thought as an aside that you can scheme all you want, however at the end of the day, it is about playmakers making plays and there was not enough of that on either side of the ball with the Packers in that game.

The NFL playoff system is a CRUEL, CRUEL thing.

Win you move on, Lose you go home.

There is no best of llke Baseball and Basketball.

In the end there is only ONE completely satisfied Team and fan base..

Cliche time: Fans like players have to "Enjoy the Journey"

The Packers are not going to win The Super Bowl every year, take the good with the bad and enjoy.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

packerfanoutwest (12h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (17h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

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.
