B.J. Raji Needs To Step It Up
It’s interesting while reading about the draft prospects this year to think back to this time LAST year and remember what everyone was saying about B.J. Raji and to remember how euphoric Packer fans were on draft day because of the visions they had of Raji blowing up offensive lines and spearing into backfields and [...]
Randolph Blanks Raji
Yes, it’s one snap in one drill, but yesterday, undrafted free-agent rookie and friend of the site, Dane Randolph blanked the $18 million man BJ Raji in a one-on-one pass rushing drill. If you, like most, skipped over our interview with Randolph to hear Nick Barnett last week, do yourself the favor of going back [...]
Raji Signs
Obviously, this is great news. The frustration, of course, lies in wondering what exactly took so long? Did Dunn’s stunt of pulling Raji out of Green Bay really work? I can’t believe that. Then what? What happened to get things moving? Of course, we’ll never know. Those of you who saw last nights show heard [...]
The Raji Mess
So, as predicted by our new friend Tom over at Residual Prolixity, B.J. Raji’s holdout has now extended over a week. It’s interesting to note that Knowshon Moreno and Malcom Jenkins, both with CAA, have now signed. The biggest impediments to Raji getting signed seem to be Michael Crabtree, picked one spot behind Raji and [...]

Interesting post from Tom over at Residual Prolixity (which I arrived at via the indispensable Smart Football) where he riffs on this post from Jack Bechta of the National Football Post. First, from Bechta: There is also a growing concern and frustration among general managers about one large agency that’s working at its own pace [...]
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 [...]
The Subject Was Raji
Great point by Brian over at Railbird Central regarding the fact that lost in all the drama surrounding who WASN’T at OTAs last week (or who was and just wasn’t talking), is a pretty important development with the players that WERE in attendance. Money quote: …first round draft choice B.J. Raji has been lining up [...]
Harry Sydney: Ted gets A+ for Draft
It’s been a week since this broadcast last Monday after the draft. But you know what? You gotta save the good stuff for weeks like this. I just started diving into the WDUZ Sportsline broadcast from the day after the draft when Ted Thompson doubter extraordinaire Harry Sydney said this about his initial Packers draft [...]
Rookies To Speak
…and say nothing. Both B.J. Raji and Clay Matthews are set to speak to the media in Green Bay at 6pm edt this afternoon. I look forward to a whole lot of “I’m just happy to be a Packer” etc etc. You know what would be great? I mean really, really great? If one of these [...]
