How Will Capers Do It?
Much has been written about Dom Capers and how he will put his defensive players in a position to be successful. It’s a wonderful thought and you hear it all the time around the league on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. “We want to put our players in a position to [...]
If Poppinga Is Cut…
…it won’t be because of his salary. I know many fans (and Bloggers) were critical of Poppinga’s extension last offseason. I understood it from a rewarding a good-locker-room-guy standpoint, not to mention I (mistakenly) thought Poppinga was improving at the end of 2007 and would continue to do so in 2008. Unfortunately, Brady seemed to [...]

Bedard Is Spot On
When it comes to this dreck on offer from Ross Tucker over at CNNSI, where Tucker basically surmises that the Packers, as the only team to open it’s books due to it’s standing as the only publicly owned team, should have whittled away their profit margin by going on a spending bonanza. Why would they [...]

Always Room For Improvement
When I did my series on Aaron Rodgers earlier this offseason (1, 2, 3) about what I felt were the biggest things he needed to work on heading into 2009, I caught some grief from some of my fellow bloggers about going after guys who weren’t perceived as ‘part of the problem’. (Indeed, the series [...]
What Good Are OTAs & Mini-Camp?
Let me show you something. The video below is a rare treat, in that it is actual coaches film, not the broadcast stuff most of us are used to. There are about 50 things I could talk about in the video below, but right now I want to concentrate on one. Watch the top two [...]

Seifert (Mostly) On Point Regarding Raji
A very good post from Kevin Seifert over at ESPN’s NFC North Blog regarding B.J. Raji and the seemingly surpising move by the Packers to play him at defensive end. Seifert takes the (correct) view that this is a case of the Packers getting their best players on the field, but I think there’s more to [...]
Demovsky. DEMOVSKY!
Seriously. From his chat over at PackersNews.com this afternoon: [Comment From Geoff] Am I a bad Packer fan if I feel like hating Favre for the number of years he plays with the Vikings x 2? If they happen to win the SB, it would be number of years x 10. Rob Demovsky: Shouldn’t you [...]
Now It All Makes Sense…
Remember last year when Ryan Grant was holding out? Remember how maddening it was and how little sense it seemed to make? Well, guess who represents Nick Collins? That’s right, Sportstars, the same group the represents Grant. Now it all makes sense. Tweet
Cheesehead Nation this Thursday
So this morning the Packers wrapped up their offseason work with their final Mini-Camp practice. Players will be heading out of town, coaches will sort things out before going off on their vacations…but here at Cheesehead TV and Cheesehead Nation we have one final live broadcast to bring you before we wrap our coverage of [...]
The Running Back Situation
I know there are many, many fans out there who have strongly held beliefs about the players residing in the Packers’ offensive backfield, and about who among them should be on the roster and where they should be positioned on the depth chart. Needless to say, this is all well and good, but I’m here [...]
Barbre\’s Job To Lose?
According to Tom Pelissero: The Green Bay Packers’ right tackle job is Allen Barbre’s to lose. We don’t get anything definitive from any member of the coaching staff. We do get some cliched platitudes from offensive line coach James Campen about the job Barbre’s done during OTAs and Mini-Camp, but other than that, as far [...]
Jennings Deal Almost Done. So Who\’s Next?
Obviously, this is great news. Much is being made about the possibility of Jennings becoming the second highest paid wide receiver in the league. That may seem surprising until you realize that currently numbers two and three on that list belong to Antonio Bryant (via his franchise tag) or T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Armed with that fact, [...]
Brohm Still Struggling
That’s the word out of camp today. Though he seemed to do a bit better in the red zone drill, throwing for a touchdown and also running one in, during full team sessions, Brohm reportedly struggled mightily, holding the ball too long, staring down receivers and generally looking unsure in his play over all. Now, [...]
LeRoy Butler: Rodgers Better Than Favre
Straight from the man’s Twitter account: I heard a rumor that Brett Favre signed with the Vikings – It doesn’t matter because Aaron Rodgers is still the best QB in the division! Tweet
