I am guessing it is not Baby Powder, Aqua Velvet, or Pork Roast. Other than those three for sure "No's" I have no idea.

I am fed up with this. We need to send some scouts out to other countries and then pay for a rugby or Australian football player who can punt.

That wouldn't even be that bad of an idea. You could just try out soccer players aswell (Janikowski for instance used to play soccer).

Ofcourse the technique is somewhat different, but have him on 2nd string for a year, sign a veteran for one year, teach him how to kick and with a bit of luck we'll have a good punter after a year.

Can't be that hard if you get a guy that can boot it (Maybe a goal-keeper, as they kick slightly equal to a punter) and is quite intelligent.

That's what the Eagles did. Sav Rocca is doing a helluva job for them.

Bring back Jon Ryan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a nice day,
Harald

It was a tight game, and it swayed back and forth. And sure enough, he pulled out a victory at the end...
I swear to you, he smiled while he was doing it. He smiled til the end.
We’ll miss you, gunslinger.

Jon Ryan's signed to the Seahawks, so he's out of the picture.

I wouldn't want Jon Ryan back. If he was doing the job, he'd still be here. He was giving every opportunity to succeed and didn't.

Be it Frost, or someone else. I want a damn punter that can help us win field position. I don't care who it is.

Amen Z.

When a punter stands on the 50 yard line, he should be able to hit a quarter on the five and give the ball back spin. Can we please go back in time and get Craig Hentrich back. That $1M a year contract we scoffed at looks pretty reasonable no.

The only reason I liked John Ryan was that botched punt in Minneapolis last year where he ran for a first down. Other than that, the guy was very pedestrian.

Martha Careful (4h) : meh

Zero2Cool (8h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (8h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (8h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (11h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (11h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (14h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (14h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : 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?
