Nate Palmer will start at ILB against the Seahawks Sunday night. The 6ft 2in and 248 lb. Palmer is in his 3rd season with the Packers following his being chosen in the 6th round of the 2013 draft from Illinois State. This is his best chance to shine at ILB. I hope that he will excel and provide GB with it's next Pro-bowler for many years to come. Let us All wish him good luck and success !

I hope he is the answer, cause Barrington is not a 3 down linebacker.

Nate Palmer

I had thought Barrington was bigger of the two.

For better or worse, Palmer is the man.

I still can't get that image out of my mind of him getting through clean and then just bouncing off Roethlisberger, but I suppose that has happened to a lot of players. Barrington impressed me as an "effort" kind of guy; I HOPE Palmer plays with that kind of hustle too. The other thing is calling the defensive signals - apparently Barrington had become adequate at that. We better hope Palmer can keep things decent that way too. I think he will be all right if Matthews is the other ILB for most of the snaps.

Palmer's performance against Seattle, while not earth shattering, was without incident. In addition, as Seattle is considered by many to be a strong team, he has impressed me. Good luck Nate, keep up the good work. [thumbup]

He didn't look too bad out there. At least on limited evidence it looks like he has the potential to be adequate in coverage. He ran well with the backs and tight ends when asked to. Hopefully with some more time his awareness in coverage will improve. I was screaming like a mad man to turn around on the deep throw that bounced off his back and was almost picked by Ha Ha. He turns around and he's got an easy one himself.

Palmer did a nice job. He seems like a better all around LB. I wonder if Barrington got the start because of the Pack's desire to stop the run. Hopefully, as he gets reps with the ones he gets better and the game slows for him so he can make those plays(interceptions).

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I'm personally just fine if the Palmer has zero awareness of the ball as long as it doesn't go into the hands of the one of the receivers... (and no PI calls as well).

But Palmer was in pretty good position there... plus if I remember correct Haha (who's watching the QB) still should of had that one right? After it bounced off...

Zero2Cool (7h) : QB coach Sean Mannion

Zero2Cool (7h) : DL Coach DeMarcus Covington

dfosterf (10h) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (10h) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft

dfosterf (10h) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (15h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (15h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (18h) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : Chiefs Eagles...again...sigh

dfosterf (27-Jan) : Happy Birthday Dave!

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
