Jones has really come into his own at DE this pre-season. That position in a 3-4 defense rarely jumps out at you unless they are doing something wrong. Jones has been solid and I hope to see that continue with an injury free year with him and Daniels. Remember that we will probably not see as much base 3-4 this year as we have in prior years.

Raji wasn't just terrible last year. He was terrible last night before going out. I did not see Boyd looking bad, last night, and everything I've seen of him in other games makes me confident he will do well at NT - in rotation with Pennell. You don't realize how bad Raji was until you see these other guys come in and play head and shoulders better in the same spot. A big HELL NO to Pickett also. I would say the injury to Raji allows the Packers to keep and develop Thornton - who may ultimately be decent, even though he hasn't shown much so far.

Boyd is a fine young player but he's no more a NT as Raji was a DE. Square pegs...round holes...the Packers defensive way.

I think our DL will be a mess all year and especially when it gets toward the end of the season. We're weak through the entire middle of our D. No NT...no good ILB's...no stud safety, or even a good one. Our middle has been soft as Charmin toilet paper for years... and it'll be softer this year despite the potential strength of the outside of it.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Jones was doing what he is supposed to do. You don't get a lot of glamour plays in base at DE.

MARK MY WORDS! Save this post and several others like it - the Packers D will be MUCH BETTER off without Raji - assuming they don't bring back Pickett or some crap like that.

I've been ranting about the Packers oughta go to a smaller more mobile better tackling D Line all off-season. They're doing it; They'll be better because of it; And getting Raji out of there - even by injury - just completes what was started by getting rid of Pickett.

Do I feel sorry for Raji? Of course - about as much as it's possible to feel sorry for somebody who will get to sit on his fat ass and still collect $4 million.

dfosterf (2h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (2h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (2h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (2h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (2h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (2h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (2h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (2h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

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) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

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.
