Bigby No Sure Thing
Good stuff from Pete Dougherty today looking at the secondary and Atari Bigby in particular. Money quote: Bigby goes into training camp the likely starter again even though he missed all offseason practices recovering from ankle surgery. That projection is based on his performance as a first-year starter in 2007, especially late in the season, [...]
Bigby Better Be Better
Following on the heels of Greg Bedard’s piece on Atari Bigby comes an article on the same subject from Tom Pelissero. The general gist of both? Bigby was hurt much worse than he or the Packers (specifically the Packers) let on last season. Bigby talks of not being able to walk across the room in [...]
Bigby Signs His Tender
In the least-shocking development of the off-season, Atari Bigby has signed his one year restricted free agent tender. Bigby could play a big role in the Packers resurgence next year if he can come back healthy in 2009. The Packers never recovered from the dismal drop-off in play at the strong safety position last year. [...]
IQs Around the Packer Blogosphere…
…did they just drop suddenly? Does the prospect of overpaying for marginal talent and the Packers annual removal from the process just cause otherwise usually astute observers of the Packer condition to become the blogosphere equivalent of Ignatius J. Reilly? Brandon over at ACME Packing Company is the latest Packer blogger to lose the plot. Seems [...]
Or Maybe Not…

Bigby Returns
Welcome news. Bigby’s return is, of course, a great development for the Packers struggling defense. They need all the help they can get. But I can’t stop the nagging feeling from deep down in dark places that only cause misery and despair when they are visited, that LeRoy Butler in his prime could take the [...]
Bigby Needed Badly
Completely agree with Andy here on the Packers missing Atari Bigby. Peprah and Rouse have been absolutely pathetic while he’s been out. Rouse’s play against Dallas was particularly shocking after the strong showings he put in last season against the Lions and the Panthers. Bigby simply has to get back on the field. He is [...]
Aaron Rouse – Time To Step Up
Toward the end of last season, I was a vocal proponent for Aaron Rouse to take the starting free safety job from Nick Collins. Then, this past offseason, I told anyone who would listen that there was no doubt Rouse would beat out Collins in training camp. Then preseason came and went and we were [...]
The Good and the Bad (Waiting On Ugly…)
It’s been awhile, but here in the depths of the worst, most boring part of the NFL offseason is my official ‘Good, Bad and Ugly’ – without the Ugly – from the latest Packer mini-camp report. (Yes, I am now reduced to observing and commenting on the observations of others for practices that the media [...]
King Gives McCarthy and His Staff Some Love….
Always nice to see McCarthy and his staff get some national recognition. Peter King today in his Monday Morning Quarterback column, mentions the great job McCarthy’s staff has done coaching up players like Atari Bigby, Donald Lee and Johnny Jolly. Bigby and Lee were taken off the scrap heap of the NFL (Bigby was cut [...]

It’s my favorite kind. Highlight videos. Last season’s 5 best by packers.com polling data. A must see. “Favorite Fives” of 2007: [...]
