Mike Daniels had two sacks against Minnesota on Sunday. But the tenacious ball of fury at defensive end for the Green Bay Packers says he has a loftier goal: perfection.

"Anything short of perfect is unacceptable," Daniels said. "Right now, I'm really just trying to make sure I can make every play, as ridiculous as that sounds, but I truly feel the great ones step on the field with that mentality, like, 'Hey, my presence is going to be felt on every snap.'"

what a fantastic attitude.

With Datone taking a while to get going, the improvement of Daniels was very welcome.

Do you think he could get Capers on board with this mindset? I want to see them stomp the other offense into the dirt through the full game - not just 3 quarters. Liking what these defensive players have to say, it sure doesn't sound like the team from last year.

Might be my favorite quote from any of the current Packers...

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The first two-sack game of Mike Daniels' career didn't impress the Green Bay Packers' second-year defensive lineman. Taking over the team lead in sacks didn't faze Daniels, either. He has his sights set well beyond just being a player that occasionally picks up a couple sacks.

"I got two (sacks); that's cute," Daniels said. "But I really think I left about three (sacks) out there. I'm really continuing to work on my game to make sure that I not just become an 'Oh, he made a play; that's nice,' but to 'Oh, he's an elite player; watch out.'"

Daniels has the early makings of potentially becoming an elite player in the NFL. Daniels fell to the fourth round of the 2012 draft mostly because he was undersized and because he was battling through a shoulder injury at the time that had caused scar tissue to accumulate.

Zero2Cool (7h) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.

Zero2Cool (7h) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!

Zero2Cool (7h) : You saw me Tweet???

beast (7h) : Supposedly Steelers will be trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys for a 3rd and late round pick swap

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : February 5, 2002 (age 23) ok no. packers.com is wrong

Martha Careful (29-Apr) : ty bboystyle...fat fingers

bboystyle (29-Apr) : Tom*

Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (27-Apr) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)
