Emptying the Notebook

  • Who is responsible for scheduling the Titans as the final foe of the preseason for the Packers every year, and why do they still have a job? With McCarthy and Fisher having such disparate goals in the final meaningless game, it’s an exercise in futility. How in the world can you possibly evaluate your rookie quarterbacks when they’re being given exactly half a second before their offensive line implodes due to the fact that they are second and third stringers facing Albert Haynseworth, Kyle Vanden Bosch and Jevon Kearse. Absurd. Coaches can burn the offensive tape, because the first three quarters are worthless.
  • Desmond Bishop and Abdul Hodge will be heard from in the regular season, and not because of an injury to a starter. Wow.
  • Will Brett Favre ever shut up? Good grief.
  • Thompson continues to choose ‘his guys’ over holdovers which is a good thing.
  • That said, when will he find an interior offensive lineman worth a damn?
  • Really interesting to see how McCarthy came out against the Broncos after the 49er fiasco. Against the Niners, Coach used lots of spread, lots of multiple receivers and basically expected Rodgers to operate as Favre did last year. Needing to make sure Rodgers had a good start against the Broncos, McCarthy went to many more two tight end sets, with a lot more tight formations. I would expect to see a lot of the latter in the first month of the season.
  • If Pickett doesn’t play and play well on September 8th, Adrian Peterson will have over 200 yards. In the first half.
  • How on Earth is Joey Haynos not on the final 53?
  • Does it scare anyone else how much this season hinges on Bob Sanders?
  • Matt Flynn will have a ton of trouble completing passes between the hashmarks.
  • Can someone get Aaron Kampman some help? Please? The man will be worn out by October at this rate.
  • If Aaron Rodgers gets hurt…nope. I refuse to think about it.
  • Tramon Williams looks fantastic.
  • Brian Brohm does not.
  • How can I get myself to sleep the next eight nights?
  • Go Pack.

  • There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game and that is first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay and I never want to finish second again.
