Great Minds, Al, Great Minds…
Love this from Al Harris, as reported by Rob Demovsky in the Green Bay Press Gazette.
“Just for your knowledge, when you ask these types of questions, zone is much easier to play than man. That’s the way it is. That’s why they call it man and zone.”
When asked if he isn’t suited to play zone, [...]

Peppers For Kampman?
Brian over at Railbird overheard something juicy on the radio this morning and Tweeted the following:
Peppers unhappy with 4-3 in Carolina, Kampman unhappy in 3-4. Trade possible?
The Panthers should be so lucky.
Look, as much as I’ve seemingly come out against Kampman, he is leagues better as a football player and teammate than Peppers is. And [...]
A New Season Dawns…
A new association is awakened.
It’s called Cheesehead Nation. It’s not a club. You don’t have to be a member. If you are reading this post right now you most likely already are.
It’s about the most die-hard Green Bay Packer fans in the World. They know all the sites, they know all the sounds, they know [...]
Don\’t Do It Double D!
Too late.
I love Donald Driver. You love Donald Driver. We all love Donald Driver. But Driver wanting the Packers to rework his deal yet again, after Thompson has redone it twice in the last three years, is absurd. I realize it’s May. I realize this will all most likely be forgotten by the time the [...]
Thompson Does Right By Tramon & The Packers
The one year contract signed by Tramon Williams is the quintessential win-win. Williams is given a sizable raise over the absolute minimum he was set to make and the Packers get another year to see if Williams can improve his overall consistency from scrimmage, not to mention the fact the team gets to see how [...]
Much Ado About the Wrong Guy
Kampman still won’t talk.
First there was this Tweet from Bedard:
Aaron Kampman refused to talk again about his switch to OLB. Packers even urged him to talk. There’s a problem there. Big time.
Which was followed up by a lengthy blog post.
Money quote:
The Packers’ seven-year veteran again declined to speak to the media today about his move [...]
Putting Up Points
Let’s straighten out something that I keep seeing thrown around a lot. In this piece from the USA Today (hat tip: Pelissero’s Twitter) authors Jeff Zillgitt and Nate Davis posit the following:
The offense, led by Favre’s successor, Aaron Rodgers, put up points — 26.2 a game, fifth best in the league.
Averaging just under four touchdowns [...]
