No Staff Changes. Yet…
That’s the word from McCarthy’s end-of-year presser.
On the plus side, McCarthy said Spitz will get a look at center, which he should. He simply outplayed Wells at the position this year. He also called the idea that the team lacks veteran leadership and vocal leaders a ‘convienient’ excuse for the losing this past year.
He’s right [...]
\”That’s Not My Bailiwick\”
That would be Ted Thompson’s response to Pete Dougherty’s question regarding any potential changes on the coaching staff. I love the word ‘bailiwick’ and am proud to be a fan of a team who’s General Manager uses it properly in a sentence, and without irony.
You DO Know What This Means, Don\’t You?
Bob Slowik is available!
(Somewhere, Corey’s head just exploded…)
McCarthy Shouldn\’t Wait Too Long…
Word out of Houston today is that Gary Kubiak has fired his defensive coordinator Richard Smith and two other defensive assistants (one being ex-Packer defensive line coach Jethro Franklin) and will be in the market for “an experienced coordinator with a proven track record”. Sound familiar?
In other words, if McCarthy decides to fire Sanders, he [...]
Winston Moss To Interview For Rams Job
I know a lot of Packer fans are suspicious of Winston Moss because ‘his linebackers aren’t anything special’. Well, yes, you’re right, they’re not. But that’s not Moss’ fault. He coaches the position, not the schemes. He teaches technique. And there’s a reason McCarthy made him Assistant Head Coach, namely because he knows a hell [...]
File Under \’Classic Quotes\’
This actually escaped Ryan Grant’s lips yesterday:
I’m not playing for the money.
Right.
What was all that about at the start of training camp again?
Sign Jennings Now. No, Yesterday…
God bless Greg Bedard. Leave it to the him to stir the pot as the players are clearing out their lockers for the offseason.
Bedard asked Greg Jennings about the possibility of a hold out heading into 2009, even though he’ll be under contract until the end of next season.
Jennings response:
I’m here to play football, the [...]
\”Changes Are Coming\”
Michael Lombardi, who actually knows people in the NFL and with the Packers, had a very interesting quote in his morning “Diner News” column today:
I hear changes are coming in Green Bay and they will start on the defensive side of the ball.
All of Packer Nation waits with baited breath…
The Cowboys: A Cautionary Tale
Many fans, after a depressing 6-10 season, are clamouring for Ted Thompson to go on a free agent spending spree, to bring in a bunch of veterans including Albert Haynesworth. And that’s great to think about and debate for the next two months, but I’m here to tell you: It’s never going to happen, and [...]
Our Long Cheesehead Nation Nightmare Is Over
Much to discuss and dissect over the coming months. When will Bob Sanders be fired? WILL he be fired? (It’s not a sure thing) What about Mike Stock. Will Thompson be a major player in free agency? (I doubt it) Will he trade down several times in the draft? (Count on it.) Will he make [...]
