Packers Put Franchise Tag On Pickett
Per Adam Schefter: Green Bay Packers placed their franchise tag on DT Ryan Pickett. The DT franchise tag is $7 million. Pickett not going anywhere. Of course, this does not preclude a long term deal getting done, as Packer Update pointed out on Twitter (before he deleted it – way to stand behind your opinion!) [...]
Packers’ Priorities
Greg Bedard has not been sitting around twiddling his thumbs down in Mobile. His piece in today’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is stuffed with information regarding the Packers’ plan of attack when it comes to their mammoth free agent class. As was reported toward the end of the year, the Packers are talking contract extension with [...]
Pickett\’s Transition
One of my biggest concerns when the Packers announced their intention to switch to a 3-4 scheme was the nose tackle position. I said then (and still worry now) that Ryan Pickett just isn’t the kind of dominate player you need at the position for the Packers to be successful. I also think far too [...]
Canty Could Play Out Like Pickett
Of course, by the time you read this he could be signed with the Giants or the Seahawks, but if not… The interest shown by the Packers in ex-Cowboy defensive end Chris Canty is surprising, but not entirely without precedent. Neither is Thompson’s deliberate approach. While Packer fans gnash their teeth and pull their hair out wondering [...]
Lombardi Thinks Pickett Will Work
I’m still dubious, but Mike Lombardi is selling that Pickett is a great fit for Capers’ brand of 3-4 defense. Who am I not to buy? The 3-4 that Capers runs is not a two-gap 3-4 and uses quickness and movement of the defensive line to make plays. Ryan Pickett would be the perfect nose [...]
Pickett Should Sit
McCarthy just had his Monday presser and indicated that Ryan Pickett would be ‘questionable’ for Sunday’s game against Indy. I know people will think I’m insane, but McCarthy should sit Pickett against the Colts, thereby giving him two weeks to rest with the bye week following the Colts game. Yes, he’s our best run stuffer, [...]
A $7.27 Million Dollar Question
I am trying desperately to write a positive article about the Packers defense. I guess I could write about the linebackers being deep or the fact that we have two of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. But I keep coming back to Fritz Shurmur, one of the greatest defensive coordinators in Packer History, who [...]
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 Now Pickett Is Hurt
Forget Brett Favre. Forget Ryan Grant. Ryan Pickett is hurt. For a team that is supposedly making the transition to becoming a defensive-dominant team, one that simply relies on the offense to hold the ball and make a minimal amount of mistakes, while the defense dominates, well, Pickett being hurt, coupled with all the other [...]
