Packers Midseason Awards

The bye week not only gives the team a needed breather, but also those who cover and blog about the team, since god only knows that Ol’ Bag of Donuts needs a break! I kid, I kid. However, the bye week does let us have a little more fun with our posts since there isn’t [...]

Monday report: Burnett’s injury causes primary trouble in secondary

And the injuries continue to mount for the Green Bay Packers.

Monday, we learned that rookie safety Morgan Burnett’s season is over just four games in because of a torn ACL, suffered in the team’s win over Detroit on Sunday.

Before we get to the options available for Green Bay at the position, let’s talk about what [...]

Wednesday's mixed bag of donuts: The returner quandary, injury report, etc.

(Note: Last season, I called this post the “Wednesday Wrap-up.” We’re going with the new name because, well, it’s just more fun, isn’t it?)

Tuesday, it seemed as though the Green Bay Packers might have found a solution to their return man quandary.

Former All-Pro returner Clifton Smith, recently released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was in [...]

Friendly fire: 2010 training camp battles, part three

Enough about the pretty boys on the offense.

It’s time to shine the spotlight on the tough guys – the defenders.

The Packers have a couple of major battles going on with their defense – none bigger than one in the secondary. And it’s there that we begin part three of our series:

Strong safety

Type of battle: Starting [...]

Players who could be moved in order to bolster areas of need

Monday, I wrote about the idea of Ted Thompson trading a player from an area of relative strength in order to bolster the Green Bay Packers’ defensive line.

That was written in the context of discussing the Johnny Jolly 2010 Suspension Tour, but really, d-line isn’t the only area Thompson could look to sure up via [...]

I poke fun at Desmond Bishop…and Desmond pokes back

(Before we begin, a reminder: Our mid-Summer trivia contest will begin later this morning as we reveal the first clue. Again, we will only do so via our Twitter and/or Facebook pages.)

Over the past couple of days, a flurry of pro-Desmond Bishop activity has taken place on Twitter. Most of the Tweets have been spin-offs [...]

What to do with Atari and Tramon?

As we near 11:01 p.m. Lambeau Time, the Green Bay Packers have a pair of decisions to make.

At 11:01, the Packers can reduce the RFA tenders made to safety Atari Bigby and cornerback Tramon Williams to 110 percent of the 2009 salaries for each player. The Packers reportedly sent letters to those two – along [...]

Putting the final bow on Green Bay's 2010 draft

Look a little closer and you’ll see that this group has the chance to make a rather significant impact, both next season and for years to [...]

Selections of Neal, Burnett tell much about the condition of Green Bay's 3-4 scheme

By targeting defensive line and safety with Green Bay’s day two selections, Thompson showed he has much more confidence in his team’s outside linebackers and corners than most fans/analysts [...]

If I was running the draft room in Green Bay...

As I write this, we sit on the eve of the 2010 NFL Draft.

Holy crap.

That being the case, it’s time for me to put on my Ted Thompson cap and pretend I’m running the draft room in Green Bay. Yeah, this should be fun.

Before we tee this thing off, a few ground rules:

I am not going to [...]
