Yeah, I saw that earlier this week. I might check that out one of the days if it's open to the public. Green Bay is too far to go for training camp, but Mequon is very close to me.

Okay so I have been reading some draft reviews, and they all have the vikings rated high, and it has something to do with Jared Allen. My question is how come none of the reviews on the packers have anything with Ryan Grant in them. I mean we used our 6th round pick on Grant...I dont know it just makes me mad because I hate the vikings more than any other team in the NFL.

you make a great, and valid point.
i also hate the vikings the most..... because i lived there thru the whole 80's and 90's and saw the Viqueens beat the Packers all 5 times i went there in the dome, and even one time in green bay in 1998 on monday night when moss torched us!

I had seen it written as Pat lately but not that he chose to announce it or something...... I like Patrick better so I'll keep calling him Patrick.

The name Pat always makes me think of SNL

PackerLegend · 05-19-2008, 05:15 PM

Patrick Lee sounds alot better then Pat Lee I think. Anyways I dont really care about his name I just sure hope he is better then Carroll which shouldnt be to hard and that he turns out to be amazing and take over for Wood or Hair someday.

Patrick Dendy was an improvement over Amahd Carroll :P I'm shooting for something along the lines of Starting Caliber Corner at some point :).

OTA's started today. A couple injuries to report.

Justin Harrell(Back), Johnny Jolly(Shoulder), and Will Blackmon(Foot) have been ruled out for all OTA's but should be ready for training camp.

The first OTA open to the public is tomorrow so there should be a lot to talk about tomorrow.

umphrey · 05-20-2008, 06:56 PM

Those injuries are leftovers from last year correct?

He is screwed and really has no leverage. We can make him play for minimum for the next 2 seasons or sit. I dont think TT will screw this up. He will likely give Grant a better deal but not so huge in case he doesn't perform like he did last year. Im not worried and really like Grant something will get worked out and after he proves himself more next season then he could be seeing a nice big contract.

how much of a double standard will it be now. A couple years ago he wouldn't give Walker a contract now he gives Grant one only after a season of production?

Walker had a 1 great probowl season and wanted big $$$. Grant had almost 1000 yards in half a season and really turned our running game around whether it was all Grant or improved o-line play who knows. Grant deserves or then minimum at this point. Give him a mil and some incentives/bonus and then if he has the same production again for an entire year I think you give him big $$$. But you decide piss off Grant or keep him with us.

johbur · 05-20-2008, 08:34 PM

Grant also is not asking for top-5 of his position money like Walker was. (How stupid is Al Davis for giving him that money this year?) Grant is obviously better than the #50 RB in the league and should be getting what an NFL starting RB gets. Top 25 money would be around three times his current salary.
He also is coming to camp and is not making a big fuss publicly about it. In addition, he doesn't have a current contract like Walker did. He's stuck with current rules and offers, but he's not breaking a contract like Walker.

neko4 · 05-20-2008, 08:39 PM

Seems like we need to write letters to TT!

I'm sorry but did Grant say he did not want to be paid top 5 for his position? He is asking for a raise, but as I see it, if he isn't asking for a lot then he would have been signed already.

Sorta big news guys, Barbre has inserted into the Starting Competition at guard.

neko4 · 05-21-2008, 04:51 PM

Good for him. the more competition the better.

Goatboy1717 · 05-21-2008, 06:09 PM

Harrell's back injury was caused by weight lifting. He had minor surgery and should be ready for training camp. Rodgers had his second straight good practice and Jordy made his second great catch in as many practices.

PACKmanN · 05-21-2008, 10:01 PM

lol, did anyone see Rodgers comment towards Tauscher? I lol'ed.

Nitschke-Hawk · 05-22-2008, 12:02 AM

Hahaha thats a good one.

Mr.Regular · 05-22-2008, 12:11 AM

In that same interview, A-Rod talked about how he enjoyed hanging out with Kyle Boller and David Carr at the golf tournament... scared the crap out of me.
