There are three keys to why the Green Bay Packers appear to be well on their way to contending for the NFC North Title in 2009. They're well-conditioned, prepared and healthy. For the first time under Mike McCarthy at anytime in a season, Green Bay is clicking on all cylinders. [url=index.php?name=Pro_News&aid=106]full article[/url].

Lets just hope that this continues during the regular season. But keep in mind we played a Bills team trying to figure itself out still. But the beginning of the regular season should be pretty easy.

Yes you are right, Dave Redding, the new Strength & Conditioning Coordinator have make a really
good work this offseason. I remember a couple of interview where he breakdown the new conditioning program

I also belive Capers has been a key part for the change of the 3-4 defence, he is a good teacher, and knows the best coaches that can teach the system to their respective positions
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

True, the Cards should be the best we have faced so far. But i think they arn't as good as their record showed last year.
It will be fun to see how our guys respond at an away game. First time this season.

I've been wondering about Desmond Bishop and the implications of plugging him in ahead of Hawk. Just a week or two (or three? Can't quite remember, the last few weeks have been kind of a blur), there was an article about Hawk's workout habits and how people have kind of doubted his abilities his whole life.

He's had to go work hard and prove them wrong. This is a man who has historically risen to the challenge of those who bet against him. So, why not bench him?

Give Bishop a fair shot. Get Hawk good and pissed off, and (hopefully) let him rise to the occasion and get a real good competition between the two. Hawk has been the de facto starter since April 29, 2006. Letting Bishop take the field with the 1's on Friday might be the perfect way to light a fire under Hawk's ass.

edit: great article. I agree with your assessment of the coaching staff. The team has been playing with a fire that I haven't seen from them in i-can't-remember how long, and they've been doing it right out of the gates. it's been awesome. So, consider this my formal thank-you note to you, Kevin Greene.

Great article, Porky. Dom Capers and his staff are an important part if we are to be successful this season. I DO think Bishop should get a chance with the 1s in a game situation. If Hawk is the better man for the job, it will show.

Bishop was a observer for most of practice today.. MM gave some type of "bruised toe" reason.

One has to think that maybe trade talks are swirling around Bishop and they are playing it safe?

One really has to believe that they are going to try and garner some value in the tough cut downs around the linebacker positions... the above is probably just a wild speculation (or hopeful) on my part that we capture value in one of the "hard" decisions.. even if it is a player I hope we keep... lol.

If they are contemplating a trade at the ILB position it would be my bet they would consider AJ before Bishop. The problem with that is value vs. production when you look at Hawk's salary.

I see no way DB not being a part of this team. They are going to get him on the field ESPECIALLY now that he also shows ability to cover in zone.

Nice article Porky.

What I like about this team is the attitude on defense. We were not a smash mouth team over the years, started to see some of that in '07, then it fell off again last year.

It appears that they'll start Hawk and Barnett and then sub Bishop and Chiller in for the nickel package.

I don't see them trading anyone. They need as many linebackers as they can get in the 3-4.
