Maybe These Guys Had A Point…
We all know I’m no draftnik. Goodness knows, I have trouble enough trying to keep track of the talent on the 32 teams in the NFL. I would simply be lost if I had to sort through the thousands of players at the collegiate level. No, I like to leave it to the men at [...]
Harrell Looks Good
Lost in the emotion of a tough loss was Justin Harrell’s contribution on the field for the first time since last year. All in all, he looked much better than I expected he would. Playing roughly 20 snaps, Harrell had a great read-and-react play when he stuffed Chris Johnson for no gain on a 3rd [...]
$8 Million Dollar Question Answered
Very interesting feeling looking at the following text on my phone today: Packers activate DT Harrell, Release DE Gbaja-Biamila. from Packers.com And there you have it – a pre-season question answered, after Ted finally saw the writing on the wall with Kabeer’s play over the last 7 games.

Is Pete Dougherty Trying To Get Fired?
Our old friend Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press Gazette continues to showcase his unique ability to expose his shocking lack of knowledge when it comes to all things football and Green Bay Packer related.

Help Wanted: DT (start immediately)
Gilbert Brown. Grady Jackson. Ryan Pickett. Run stuffers of the modern era. With coaches worried about Pickett’s health and conditioning, who do we have that can step up and meet the challenge of plugging up running lanes, penetrating O-lines and digging graves for QB’s? Colin Cole and Johnny Jolly are likely candidates, but show me [...]
And then there were 75
The Green Bay Packers dropped their roster down to the mandatory 75 man limit today. The biggest surprise is DeShawn Wynn, who has missed practices and games this off-season. Kregg Lumpkin’s play in last Friday’s Denver game must have been the final push for cutting Wynn. Also cut were fullback Ryan Powdrell, wide receiver Chris [...]
File Under: Sad But True
I would absolutely love to take credit for this observation, but I can’t. I am usually loathe to venture into the comment sections on any Packer news site, but this gem had me grinning and cursing its truth at the same time. From a commenter over at the JS Online Packer Blog calling himself windycityPacker, [...]
Bigger Problems
Believe it or not, the Packers have bigger problems than Brett Favre heading into 2008. (And boy did it feel good not typing that name even once in that last post…) If you think about it, however the Favre drama plays out, the Packers will have added value to their team that wasn’t there last [...]
Call Me An Alarmist…
…but is it not a bit disconcerting that Johnny Jolly and Justin Harrell will not only be out until training camp, but now McCarthy is saying: We anticipate those guys at some point in training camp being ready to go Some point in training camp? What happened to them being ready to go AT THE [...]
Justin Harrell: Cream Puff
Justin Harrell, Mr. “Kid Gloves Treatment” himself, might not be ready until TRAINING CAMP? Ugh. Tweet
Justin Harrell, Welcome To the Party
Lost amongst the angst and gnashing of teeth in the wake of the Cowboys loss is the fact that Justin Harrell actually played pretty well. Neither of the Cowboys’ backs made any major news on first down plays that weren’t draw plays out of shotgun. (Take a look at Barber’s biggest “highlight” from the game [...]
