Ron Zook...all were doing here is rehashing the same garbage. Apparently Mike McCarthy just doesn't think special teams are that important. We could have done better.

Ron Zook came in last year. It is not as if Zook had his hand on everything and had his scheme being used. Mike McCarthy also said there would be a big culture change in that Special Teams group. This isn't Mike Stock stepping down for Shawn Slocum who was essentially groomed for a handful of years as his under study. This is someone who has had a plethora of coaching being handed the ST unit.

I am excited that McCarthy is giving up his play calling duties. Not because I think he is a poor play caller, but because this will give Tom Clements great motivation to do well and also let coach McCarthy be coach.

If you're wondering, Clements was the OC with the Bills in '04 and '05 and his unit finished 7th and 24th respectively.

Went to see Zook's stats for his special team in 1996 - 1997 - 1998 to be honest, not much that impressed me. What impress's me is actually his experience that he can bring to the special teams. Being with so many teams and having so many different titles with different organization he could bring something to the table. I won't give my final judgment until next season's over.

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

This shit with Bennett and Van Pelt is weird. Tom Clements is in the way. Mike is keeping him here, because he has no other opportunities, and that is going to force Van Pelt to leave, now that Edgar got his promotion.

beast (20h) : Seems like he was just pissed because he was no longer the starter

beast (20h) : Campbell is right, he's rich and he doesn't have to explain sh!t... but that attitude gives teams reasons to never sign him again.

dfosterf (22-Feb) : I have some doubt about all that

dfosterf (22-Feb) : I read De'Vondre Campbell's tweet this morning (via the New York Post) Florio says that if he invested his earnings wisely, he will be good

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Issue should be solved, database cleaned and held strong working / meeting. Boom!

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : It should be halted now.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : usually spambots are trying to get traffic to shady websites filled with spyware; the two links being spammed were to the Packers website

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : you know when you put it that way combined with the links it was spamming (to the official Packers website)

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yep. You can do that with holding down ENTER on a command in Console of browser

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : even with the rapid fire posts?

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : I'm not certain it's a bot.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : I've got to go to work soon which is a pity because I'm enthralled by this battle between the bot and Zero

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yeah, I see what that did. Kind of funny.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : now it's a link to Wes Hodkiezwicz mailbag

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : what's 118 (besides a number)?

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : They got 118 slapped in there.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : that's why it confused the hell out of me

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yeah, but this is taking a headline and slapping it into the Packers Talk
