You have to have faith.

In faith, I do not mean the Lord. I mean in following the plan with faith that it will work.

I truly believe the Packers organization has faith in the road they have chosen to take, so this does not surprise me.

One thing I will add, and do not ask me why I feel this way, I just do. I think Harrell is going to have a great year.

Yes, there HAS to be SOMETHING in Harrell, he was a 16th overall draft pick for pete's sake!

I just keep wondering......with Kampman as a LB, who will we have at DE?

Jenkins... and... (brace yourself)... HARRELL.

Yes. That Harrell.

I wouldn't rule out Johnny Jolly either. I think he can play some end. I also think Thompson could look a Chris Canty whom is a free agent.

Cheesey you need to remember that DE is not a flashy position in the 3-4. Those guys aren't going to be getting the double digit sacks in this defense. It's the outside backers that should.

Yeah I really don't understand why everyone is saying Harrell with start.

3-4 DE is usually like a small 4-3 UT. They can also be normal and big size 4-3 UT and Jolly has been starting at UT for a while not.

IMO Jolly and Jenkins are going to be the starters unless harrell shows a lot in camp or Jolly's legal trouble.

OMG! What does he know?! None of our guys can play in a 3-4! We're doomed!

</fan over-reaction>

I think he's being coy, or more to the point, I don't think he's dumb enough to telegraph his plans and screw any leverage the organization might have.

I now cede the floor to the anti-Thompson brigade.

I was bout to say the same thing. This will twist the nipples of many Ted Thompson haters.

Anyways, if he WAS going to dip into free agency why would he just come out and say it? I agree with you.

What I foresee is that the DE's and NT will be one group and still be in a rotation like the DTs did. Pickett, Jolly, Jenkins, Harrell and hopefully a FA or early draft pick. Still using the rotation to keep them as fresh as possible and mixing up where they line up. Sometimes moving the NT to the outside, hopefully forcing the double to be from the guard/Tackle allowing the OLB to match up against a TE/FB/RB.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!
