Well, now that the deed is apparently is done, I guess I'll just have to be optimistic and hope Raji ain't the piece of shit I think he is. I also have never heard anything about Guion being lazy. There would, however, seem to be a good chance he is suspended for a few games. I've never heard of Pennell being considered lazy either.

As for Raji, I see this as not a year for him to prove he ain't a fat worthless lump, but either a preseason or maybe the first 4 or 6 regular games until Guion comes back if he is suspended. If Raji proves to be crap, hopefully he is cut loose when Guion is for sure available. Or maybe Raji will come through big time - yeah right hahahaha.

Part of Pennell's NFL.com scouting bio touches on his level of commitment. Suspended twice at ASU (albeit for discipline) and didn't dominate at Pueblo despite skill and size.

I get the frustration directed towards Raji, but either way, the team has retained some competition which is rarely a bad thing.

B.J. looks good. I’m glad he stayed [in Green Bay]. I’m glad he stayed with us and was part of the family. I thought it was good having him around, it was good for the young guys. So, [I] hope to get him back, too. [It] would be great to have him back.

This speaks quite a bit about B.J. Raji and I have hope he's going to produce very well to good this upcoming season as the Packers bring home the trophy.

I have deciphered Ted Thompson's plan! He signed two DT's knowing he's most likely only going to get use of one of them.

You see, LeTroy Guion will probably miss a few games to start the season. B.J. Raji probably won't stay healthy much past the fourth game of the season.

Sure would be nice to have both full time though.

Hey, we now have two back up NTs. I can't get excited when he is able to re-sign back-up quality players, but at least they have some semi-quality players for backups to give the starter a break.

Now all we need is a starter. Wouldn't be surprised to see Ted Thompson go DT in first three rounds somewhere.

Call it a gut feeling..

I predict B.J. is healthy for 14 games.... and is elected to, but a "Healthy Scratch" for the Pro Bowl game.

Ted's master plan is slowly being unveiled.

Will it be any wonder when this D is bad all over again?

Time to rely on UDFA's and draft choices again....the blueprint for success on D...his last several years just bear that out.

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."

I for one like Raji being back. I also hope they leave him exclusively at NT. He is not an end even though they played him there much of the time. Another DE that is over 6'5'' would be nice.

Cut him whenever or don't bring him back next season. But the upside and proven potential is clearly there. He just needs to realize it again.
