Power rankings in mid-June? Sounds good to me!

So, it’s mid-June.

There’s a bit of NFL activity (minicamps, OTAs, arrests, blanket apologies, trial delays, accusations, etc.) but overall it’s pretty quiet.

What better time to roll out OBOD’s first ever power rankings, right?

Absolutely!

The NFL odds for the 2010 season have long been up. And about a month ago, Sports Illustrated’s Peter King gave his power rankings [...]

Checking in (and rounding up)

Hey gang. We owe you an apology.

We know it’s been a few days since we’ve posted anything new. Sorry, we’ve all been busy with various endeavors – work, mostly -and just haven’t had the time. We truly care about breaking down all things related to the Green Bay Packers, but sometimes, life gets in the [...]

OBOD Mock Draft: The sequel

Now that we are roughly 12 days into free agency, it seemed like the perfect time to run an updated mock draft.

(Plus, as you likely know, we LOVE doing mock drafts.)

Most of the “big fish” free agents have signed their respective deals and, as a result, some teams’ draft plans have changed. Our new mock has [...]

Kampman stays in Jacksonville, signs deal with Jags

As Chris posted yesterday, Aaron Kampman was visiting with the brass of Jacksonville and was rumored to be have other teams interested in his services.

Cancel those travel plans.

The Jaguars announced this morning that they have signed the former Packer defensive end/linebacker, contract length and terms undisclosed as of yet.  There is no doubt Kampman got [...]

Kampman starting his search; Tauscher oddly silent

Saturday, 4:45 p.m.

After waiting a bit – and making some plans before breaking them – Aaron Kampman is finally putting himself out there for other teams.

Kampman visited with the Jacksonville Jaguars today, according to The Florida Times-Union. Friday, Kampman was all set to visit with the Philadelphia Eagles, although he apparently had a change of [...]

An update on Kampman, Tauscher and Clifton

Well, we’ve reached the century mark for the 2010 free agency signing period. And, no, I’m not referring to the game where you drink 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes. We at OBOD would NEVER condone such a game.

We are now 100 minutes into free agency. At this point, it seems like a good [...]

Best guesses on Kampman, Cliffy and Tausch

As of now,  it’s 11:00 p.m. Lambeau Time, meaning we are now officially at the start of the free agent signing period.

And as of now, the Green Bay Packers’ three biggest unrestricted free agents – defensive end/outside linebacker Aaron Kampman, left tackle Chad Clifton and right tackle Mark Tauscher – remain unsigned.

Will any of them be [...]

Peppers on the Packers doubtful, but intriguing

I was on the phone with my brother-in-law Brian last week and he and I got to talking about the idea of the Green Bay Packers making a run at Julius Peppers.

Peppers, currently a member of the Carolina Panthers, seems destined for free agency as long-term contract talks between he and the team have pretty [...]

Green Bay Packers' All-Decade Team, part two: Defense and Special Teams

Alright, hope y’all enjoyed part one.

Without further adieu, here’s part two. Hey, that rhymed!

Also, I’ve decided to run this part as defense only. Including the special teams players here would make this post far too long for you guys to read all at once. The special teams section will be up later today (I promise).

Again, [...]

Offseason to-do list (conclusion): Potential free agent targets for Green Bay, part two

(Before we begin: Just to reiterate, if you’re worried this is it for OBOD’s offseason coverage, don’t be. We’ll be all over free agency when it starts and we’re already busy researching for the draft and we’ll be beginning our coverage of that soon enough. Three words: Mock drafts, baby!)

Let’s cut to the chase. Here [...]
