My biggest concern about the Green Bay Packers going into the 2014 season was the soft under belly of the defense. Week one proved my alarm to be warranted. The Packers defense gave up 207 rushing yards to Seattle and missed 18 tackles in the process. Two of the biggest no-shows on the defense were

How many years are we going to hear stories like this? A sign of how we're so poorly managed that the same things happen over and over.

Want the soft label gone? Get rid of AJ Hawk. Get rid of Brad Jones. That will be a good start to shedding the label IF they're replaced properly. To leave a mediocre soft ILB like AJ Hawk as a starter all these years has been a travesty. A total travesty.

Other than Clay Matthews is there a player on this D you think has the fire? Mike Daniels sure talks alot but I don't see half what his mouth spouts off the field, on it.

Tramon Williams= SOFT

Sam Shields= SOFT

AJ Hawk= SOFT

Brad Jones= SOFT

Datone Jones= just not very good

Peppers= Never known for his passion

Mike Pennel= Don't get any sense he's an a$$ kicker.

Clinton Dix= Some potential to be better than soft

Micah Hyde= Solid football player but tough/mean doesn't come to mind

Dom Capers= Should've retired years ago.

MM= A fraudulent tough.

TT= Are you kidding me?

It's little wonder we're S O F T.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Watch this clip of Steve Smith... Can you remember ANY person in the Packers org outside of Kevin Greene who had anywhere near the passion of this guy?

You would think that these guys would play angry after all these articles. If I were any part of the defensive staff - I would be making every player on D read every article about them being soft. Eventually you would have to think someone would snap and put that story to rest. I know it would make me want to prove otherwise.

I think the defense has enough players to play "mean," but it's just not a requirement from the coaching staff, apparently. A lot of toughness originates from the coaches and then to the best players and continues to trickle down.

Step 1: Stop the run

They've got to start looking better in stopping the run. I'd worry about any of that other trash talk later. These are all big, strong, and athletic dudes. I am not skinny dude on a computer who would not dare call any of these guys soft.
Circular Arguments: They are a heck of an annoyance

beast (4h) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?
dfosterf (10h) : Mackelvie
dfosterf (10h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?
dfosterf (10h) : Youtube
Zero2Cool (14h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.
dfosterf (17h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo
Zero2Cool (18h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha
wpr (19h) : Tomorrow is almost here.
packerfanoutwest (19h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?
packerfanoutwest (19h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him
Zero2Cool (21h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.
packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : 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

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?
