Regular season game six vs. Cleveland: Comfortable win breeds confidence in defense

In my preview for Sunday’s contest with the Cleveland Browns, I said the Green Bay Packers had to not only win, but win big in order to gain some real confidence moving forward.

No problem there, huh?

In cruising to a dominant 31-3 road win against the hapless Browns, which improves their record to 4-2 on the [...]

Aaron Rouse, the bell tolls for thee

The Green Bay Packers have seen enough of Aaron Rouse.

The Packers released Rouse on Wednesday, signing Matt Giordano, formerly of the Indianapolis Colts, to take his roster spot.

The timing of the move is somewhat curious as Rouse had just taken over the strong safety spot against the Bengals in place of an injured Atari Bigby [...]

Monday wrap-up

Not only did the Green Bay Packers lose in embarassing fashion Sunday to the Cincinnati Bengals, they got pretty banged up while doing it.

Chad Clifton (ankle), Nick Collins (clavicle) and Aaron Rouse (neck stinger) all suffered injuries in the contest.

Donald Lee was also hurt when he took a shot from Roy Williams late in the [...]

Mid-week report: Bigby out at least four weeks

For the duration of his two-plus years as a Packer, Aaron Rouse has always been a player with potential.

We all remember his 100-plus yard interception return for a touchdown off Peyton Manning last season, after all.

Yet Rouse has also struggled with inconsistency, injuries and an inability to pass Atari Bigby on the depth chart.

Well, it [...]

How the Packers look, position-by-position, on defense and special teams

Alright, enough about the pretty boys on offense.

For part two, we’re going to talk about the tough guys on defense (and, okay, special teams, too).

Defensive linemen (6)

Starters: Johnny Jolly, Ryan Pickett, Cullen Jenkins

Backups: Mike Montgomery, B.J. Raji, Jarius Wynn

There’s certainly a lot of talent here. They just have to show they can do what [...]

Training camp stew- 8/20/09 edition (the series finale)

As Adam previously stated, he and I are pretty much done talking about Judas. In fact, we ARE done. Gene will be weighing in with his thoughts sometime soon, but after that, don’t expect any more Judas stuff from us.

We’re very glad that you all felt as passionate about the issue as we did – [...]

Training camp stew – 8/13/09 edition

Here it is, your nightly serving of the most interesting bits of information from today’s training camp practice.

The Packers had two practices today and, with only two days to go until Saturday’s preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns, there’s quite a bit to get to.

As always, this information comes courtesy of the folks at the [...]

Friendly fire: Training camp battles, part three

The first two parts of this series have been offensive-minded. That’s because, well, most of the major pre-camp battles exist on that side of the ball.

By our count, there are only two that exist in the areas of defense and special teams – one in each, in fact.

And here they are:

Right outside linebacker

The combatants: Jeremy [...]

So, Jennings is signed – who's next?

Now that the Green Bay Packers have cleared the most important contract extension hurdle by re-upping wide receiver Greg Jennings, the question of who will be next to cash in has been widely pondered by fans, bloggers and media members alike.

It’s an important question.

Of the Packers who have contracts up at the end of this [...]

Grading Ted Thompson's Drafts: 2007 edition

Before we begin, I must apologize to our faithful readers.

The past week has been hellish for your ol’ buddy Chris. Besides working at my regular job, I’ve also been in the process of moving to a new apartment and – if that weren’t enough – I’ve also been sick. I’ll spare you the details, but suffice to [...]
