Watching cars go round and round and round just doesn't thrill me.

I had to find something to fill my idle time between February and April. It's actually pretty exciting when you wrap your mind around the fact that these cars are going 200 mph and driving 1/2 inch from one another. make them do this in a circle, and it's chaos.

It's months like these I wish I could afford a drum set and wish I didn't have to sell mine last year to make rent.

Well, I have great confidence in Aaron learning to play the position and working his ass off to be in the best shape to play it.

Chad Morton is going to be coaching...? Kick returners?

EDIT:

Chad Morton was added as the coaching administrator



What is a Coaching Administrator exactly?

I think Kampman will be fine. I mean what's job #1 of a 3-4 OLB? Putting pressure on the QB.

And I think we all can say he's pretty good at that.

Job #2 is run stoping.... I think he's do that every well for a LBer.

Job #3 pass cover.... Yeah that one may need a little work but he's got #1 and #2 down pat. And if the Packers play him in zone coverage the time he is in coverage than it's all about playing it smart which I think he's can do.

HA! See, you all laughed at me when I said Kampman would be OLB when I posted my Madden '09 scheme.

This will be good for him. I thought earlier that I envision him an outside pass rusher... pwerfectoooo

I think what's more interesting about this decision is who were going to have as our DE's.

It's glad to see the forum knows what's going on. I was listening to the radio today and really it's saddening to hear some people call in and criticize this move.

This was never in doubt. Either Aaron Kampman is an OLB or he isn't a Green Bay Packer in 2009. Not a chance you're asking him to put on 30 to 35 pounds and play DE either. For those complaining that he's 29 years old and cant make the move then look at Jason Taylor. Greg Ellis is another example. If college defensive ends can transition from a 4-3 to a 3-4 then Aaron Kampman can as well.

I said before he's going to be handicapped somewhat in the 3-4, but that doesn't mean he can't make the move. Kampman is as smart and has as good as instincts as any player on the front seven.

I think people need to understand that in Dom Capers 3-4 and just about every variation of the 3-4 you can think of, the pass rush comes from the outside linebackers. Not the defensive line. The two leaders in sacks this year will be or should be the outside linebackers.

That's why Aaron Kampman is making this move. That's why Jeremy Thompson will probably make the move and that's why Jason Hunter will probably make the move.

Cullen Jenkins will probably be forced to play one defensive end spot because of his size and strength.

Ryan Pickett at nose.

I think Johnny Jolly baring a suspension will move around between nose and defensive end. Same with Justin Harrell although the Packers will undoubtedly probably look for a DE via free agency or draft. Truth be told though they need a DE and OLB because I'm not sure it's on their roster.
Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (16h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (20h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (20h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (21h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (21h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (21h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (21h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (21h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (21h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (21h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (21h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (21h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (21h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (21h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (21h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (22h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (23h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (23h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (23h) : 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.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
