10 for 08:

Favre (need I say more)

Driver (same as above)

Jennings (should have a big year)

Clifton (still our best and most important O linemen, especially passing over 40 times a game)

Colledge (Should have a big year, will enter his prime)

Hawk (Duh)

Barnett (duh)

Kampman (duh)

Jenkins (the guy is not only good, he plays really hard and through injuries and fills two roles for us)

Harris (Still should be really good, aside from being kinda injured this year his athletic ability hasn't noticeably dropped off since he got here, so he should be the same)

Alright here is my ten in no specific order.

1.) Aaron Kampman - The cornerstone to our defense in my mind, one of the top players at his position and he can get pressure on the QB and stuff the run. Oh, he's also 27.

2.) Cullen Jenkins - A rising star in this league and with him and Kampman, the Packers have two ends who will be stars in this league for a long time.

3.) AJ Hawk - Simply a stud on defense and will continue to have in impact as a Packer for years to come.

4.) Nick Barnett - Too young and talented to not put on this list. Big part of a linebacking core that is fast approaching being great.

5.) Al Harris - A seemingly ageless shutdown corner is something anyteam could want. Also a fan favorite that is very fun to watch to say the least.

6.) Atari Bigby - Sure, he is quite young and is making mistakes at time but that's all part of the learning curve of being an NFL player. Plus there's no other way to put it other than he is an impact player who affects games with his big plays.

7.) Chad Clifton - A great left tackle who is essential to having a successful passing game as was noted by Nitschke-Hawk. Still has some gas in the tank.

8.) Daryn Colledge - If we're ever to get some run game established a run game is essential and he has a great future and is improving at the moment.

9.) Donald Driver - Essentially he is to the offense what Al Harris is to the defense. Seemingly ageless, a playmaker, and a top player at his position. Without him our passing game would be in shambles. Truly an example of what a NFL player should be in every aspect.

10.) Brett Favre - Before the start of this season he without a doubt would not have been on my list. In fact, Rodgers might have made it over him. But with his incredibly leadership, a lively arm, and the passion that drives this team he is without a doubt the most important player on our roster right now. And it shows. Doesn't mean I am down on Aaron Rodgers, I'm very eager to see what he can do when he has the offense handed over to him but right now this is Favre's team and anyone to say otherwise would have to be insane. They live for this guy.

Comments: Obviously I went for a defensive approach as I think it is the right way to win games if you want to win them at the end of the year and in January. And Jennings was close to making this list but I thought that Atari's contribution to the safety position and his potential for next year were just a little above Jennings. That and the whole defensive thing.

there been talks about Ricky Williams lately and seem the Packers have been put in the talks because of our run game

to be honest i would trade a 6th round pick for him, but do i think the Packers will no, do i think he can help yes

do i think hes a distraction, from what i hear he barley talks so not really

for a 6th round pick i think hes worth it... but he is said to most probly be cut

he will be cut for three reasons.

1. He has ruined his and the Dolphins image.
2. He has to chance of playing for them
3. They will not keep his contract and his and have him as the third running back.

Plus he's not the same back he was when he was in his prime. I wouldn't be surprised if he never got another carry in the NFL.

Not sure why you made a special note for Jolly. He's started 3 of the 4 games and and the starting DTs are decided by the matchups.

PACKmanN · 10-03-2007, 07:00 PM

why isn't Corey Williams the started?

Did you read my post directly above yours? Have you been watching the Packers games? Not trying to be mean, but come on now.

neko4 · 10-03-2007, 07:06 PM

I think we have a real chance of being 8-3 to even 11-0 going into Dallas.
There will always be mess up games, but when I look at our sched i have a close to unreasonable optimisim that we could go 16-0

nothing special just updating

Favre for obvious reasons.
Driver also for obvious reasons.
Clifton- we need a veteran LT.
Jones- I really, really, really like this kid. He's going to be a top WR.
Kampman- Among the best in the game.
Hawk- My favorite Packer, and he's going to be a star.
Harris- I'd love to keep Harris and Woodson, because they're very important to our D, but I can live with just Harris.
Barnett- Really blossoming this year.
Jenkins- Good against the run, can still get pressure.
Pickett- It was really a toss-up between him and Jolly. As you can see, I'm a strong believer in building around your front 7. I think a base of Barnett, Hawk, Kampman, Jenkins and Pickett is a great start to a defense.

mqtirishfan · 10-03-2007, 09:38 PM

I've been thinking about this for a while now. How cool would it be to see the Packers line up in a 3-4 from time to time?

KGB-Hawk-Barnett-Hunter
Jenkins-Pickett-Kampman

or

KGB-Hawk-Barnett-Kampman
Jenkins-Pickett-Williams

I really like the second one if Kampman would be able to play SOLB in a 3-4. I'm not talking about a full out change to the 3-4, because our team doesn't match it that well, but I think this line-up could actually work at times if we want to mix it up a little.

That'd be completely pointless and 10 times worse than our 4-3.

But fun. :D

Hawk · 10-03-2007, 10:19 PM

We already have a top defense, why change it?

GB12 · 10-04-2007, 12:07 AM

The Jets signed Clowney off of our practice squad.

Ahh crap, gotta tell my mom, she got his autograph at Training Camp and has looked for him all the time when we're watching something involving the Packers.
