I just said LOLB because "ImBrotherCain" used it. It's a lot easier than spelling it out.

I wouldn't rule out moving him to LB as I said when we drafted him he might be best there. As a safety he kind of reminds me of Marquand Manuel, so that's not good. However I doubt he ever sees the field as a LB. Brady has turned into a solid stong side backer after playing DE all his life. We won't be looking for an upgrade there anytime soon and he certainly wont get beat out by Aaron Rouse. I never liked Rouse and I don't see him ever being anything more than a backup be it at LB or safety.

I had been wondering where Aaron Rouse fits into our plans with the emergence of Bigby. Poppinga has been doing well lately, so I don't see us replacing him.

I could see Brady and Rouse switching in, Rouse's coverage ability is much better than brady's so we could stick Rouse in on passing downs (Which is working with KGB)

I like him since he went to my high school and think he has good potential

I like this idea, although Brady's play certainly doesn't warrant a demotion(Even though I wouldn't think of it that way).

That doesn't make any sense. Poppinga's already out on passing downs anyway.

Looking good.

If his play keeps up like this, hopefully we will be hearing alot of this talk.

The rebirth of Favre is bad news for Bears fans. But it's great news for football, sports and, when you think about it, life

Marviel Underwood Over Kerry Rhodes

boy it would be something else if we had Rhodes
or move'd up 5 spots to get Brandon Jacobs or Marion Barber

but maybe we can sign Rhodes as a free agent

BenJarvus Green-Ellis is a running back who stock is going up i can see up taking him late 2nd round

I take it you are looking at past drafts? Sorry, but I've always found looking back at past drafts to see who we could have had to be completely ridiculous. Plus, just because a player is good on the team he is currently on doesnt mean he will be a great Packer and will fit our schemes. Be happy with what we have, we have a lot of good picks on the roster.

but we have great drafts lately

It's nice to see people gain faith in Favre again, but I never really thought his play diminished all that much. 2005 had disaster written all over it. Whale and Rivera leave, Walker and Green go down with injuries, etc. It was too much. In 2006 Favre led the youngest team in the NFL to an 8-8 record and almost snuck into the playoffs. And in 2007, the team has a little more depth and experience and Brett is putting up the #'s once again.

I like how clowney wears his jersey in this so people will recognize. They will soon though, when he gets upgraded and scores a TD

Clowney wasnt even in that video... or did i miss him?

[Football Fan]

I heard on the radio a little while ago that some hooker that was was stripping at a night club in florida is accusing Al Harris of sexual assault at the strip joint 2 years ago. Sounds like some gold digging tramp looking to make some money. She is also said to be suing the club for not having there security cameras running.

I posted the wrong vid

[johbur]

I'd like Morency healthy for this game. Jennings coming back gave the passing game a major boost. Mo a more experienced runner, and he has good hands. Tossing to him in the flat would be a nice check down for Brett.

[Pack_Attack_4]

So whats the word with Koren Robinson is he commin back after this weeks game?

[GB12]

Favre named Fedex Air player of the week, Barnett defensive player of the week. http://www.nfl.com/partner?partnerType=players-defense

as other people stated, its unfair to go back and look what could have been. Anyone can make an unreal team if you do that, but also i think it is unfair because of Underwood's injury. He was looking great before he got hurt and it's very possible he's just not the same player because of that, which led to us cutting him. There are many success stories and technology has come so far in terms of sports injuries/rehab, but its still not a guarantee you can fully recover from a torn ACL.

Morency going up and Jackson going down. Can things ever get easy for us?
