Football Outsiders: Packers Are Rebuilding
Football Outsiders’ Bill Barnwell contends that the Packers are in the midst of a hidden rebuilding period.
Packers Getting What They Pay For
Bill Barnwell has broken down how much each team spent at each position group in ’09. The Packers lead in one area and are dead last in another. Not surprisingly, it is reflected on the field.
Jamon Meredith and Breno Giacomini
Packer Update makes a great point regarding the former and the current Packers offensive linemen.
No Excuses For the Packers In 2010
Greg Bedard of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says the Packers have “No excuses” and no one to blame but themselves if they don’t make a deep playoff run in 2010. We here at Cheesehead TV could not agree more.
Packers Kick The Tires On Pac Man Jones
The Packers have reportedly contacted long-troubled cornerback/return specialist PacMan Jones.
Packers Counting On Capers
The Packers like to preach “improve from within” when talking about the younger players on their roster. It’s starting to look like that mantra extends to the coaching staff as well.
Grading The Packers Draft
Grading the NFL draft immediately after it happens is an excercise in futility. Yet every year the media churns out page after page of worthless grades. “Dreck” says Aaron.
Neal Pick Not Exciting But It’s Classic Thompson
Packer fans should not be surprised by the Mike Neal pick. But, of course, they were.
Packers Want To Jump Up In Draft?
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Packers have “expressed interest in trading up to 10-12 range.” This, of course, has set off the BS Detectors here at CHTV headquarters…
Bringing Back Tracy White

You Never Say “I Told You So”
Aaron’s Twitter-musings about Ted Thompson possibly taking a look at Brian Westbrook keep getting closer and closer to coming to fruition.
Westbrook Worth A Look
Yesterday, Aaron pontificated via Twitter that the longer Brian Westbrook remains on the free agent market, the greater the chance that Ted Thompson would take a look. Someone at ESPN was apparently listening…
Thursday, Friday, Saturday…
The National Football League is trying to create more interest in the draft by going to a different format.What will that mean for the Green Bay Packers? Ted Thompson has some interesting things to say.
A Word On The Draft
No matter how much we ‘study’ these college kids between February and late April when they are selected by their respective pro franchises, there will be some who think Ted made a good choice at 23, there will be some who think Ted made a horrible choice at 23, and there will be some who curse Ted for the Justin Harrell pick – still. And despite all that is said and all that is written, nothing will matter until that guy steps on the field and does something.
Will Recent Signings Cause Some Jealousy?
Will recent big-money signings cause some jealousy in the Packers locker room? Andrew Brandt, who worked on contracts for the Packers for over 10 years, seems to think so…
Improving From Within Starts Today
Ted Thompson has clearly committed to the teams “improve from within” mantra. He has a team that went from 6-10 to a Wild-Card berth and a first round exit in the playoffs. That’s improvement. But the next step is the toughest – ensuring the team doesn’t experience the terrible slide that saw it spiral from a 13-3 Championship game participant to the aforementioned 6-10 squad.
Tundra Vision Seeing Clearly
Great post by C.D. Angeli over at Tundra Vision regarding Thompson’s offseason approach. This is a big chunk of his text as I didn’t want to cut out anything as C.D., as always, makes some great points: I would guess that Thompson will continue this approach through the offseason and the draft, eschewing all but [...]
Secondary Is Most Pressing Issue
With Chad Clifton back in the fold, the beleaguered Packers secondary is now the number one area of concern for the Green Bay Packers, no matter what Mike Vandermause would have you believe. Simply put, yes, the Packers need someone to compliment Matthews. But they need SEVERAL players to shore up a secondary that allowed [...]
