i wouldn't mind Bennett beating some anger into our defense.

It is refreshing to see Ted Thompson get a quality player from the Free Agent pool. Bennett is a great addition for the Packers.

It does not however fill the void at the CB/CB's position. I hope that TT's personal pride in his past CB picks does not blind him to the reality that most others plainly see. GB needs a secondary that can shut down opposing receivers . Until that happens, GB will continue to be watching SB games from their home couches .

I really wanted this beast when he parted ways with the Bears and was disappointed when he went to New England. A couple of years on, I'm a little less enthusiastic, but I'm looking forward to seeing him challenge the middle of the field or possibly even play from the slot. Hell, given McCarthy's penchant for unconventional formations, we might see him out wide as often as not.

Nevertheless, I'm concerned that Thompson has failed to fill any holes on defense. You can have the world's greatest offense in the regular season, but it won't make a bean's worth of difference in the postseason if your defense can't shut down opposing offenses in the fourth quarter. I'd rather have a historically nasty defense we can depend upon when the games matter than a spectacular regular-season aerial attack that collapses under the pressure of single elimination.

The draft is loaded with defensive players at our positions of need. I'd like Ted to really load up on OLBs. Sick of not having book ends, and Clay isn't the same.

dfosterf (4h) : Can't find the toggle, lol
dfosterf (4h) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .
Zero2Cool (4h) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.
dfosterf (4h) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes
dfosterf (4h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same
dfosterf (5h) : *Friday*
dfosterf (5h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy
dfosterf (5h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)
dfosterf (5h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from
dfosterf (5h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy
Zero2Cool (5h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!
dfosterf (5h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40
dfosterf (5h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in
packerfanoutwest (5h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?
beast (5h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...
beast (5h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based
beast (5h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

beast (12h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...
dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
