Bill Barnwell has broken down how much each team spent at each position group in '09. The Packers lead in one area and are dead last in another. Not surprisingly, it is reflected on the field.
Greg Bedard of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says the Packers have "No excuses" and no one to blame but themselves if they don't make a deep playoff run in 2010. We here at Cheesehead TV could not agree more.
The Packers like to preach "improve from within" when talking about the younger players on their roster. It's starting to look like that mantra extends to the coaching staff as well.
Grading the NFL draft immediately after it happens is an excercise in futility. Yet every year the media churns out page after page of worthless grades. "Dreck" says Aaron.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Packers have "expressed interest in trading up to 10-12 range." This, of course, has set off the BS Detectors here at CHTV headquarters...
Yesterday, Aaron pontificated via Twitter that the longer Brian Westbrook remains on the free agent market, the greater the chance that Ted Thompson would take a look. Someone at ESPN was apparently listening...
The National Football League is trying to create more interest in the draft by going to a different format.What will that mean for the Green Bay Packers? Ted Thompson has some interesting things to say.
No matter how much we 'study' these college kids between February and late April when they are selected by their respective pro franchises, there will be some who think Ted made a good choice at 23, there will be some who think Ted made a horrible choice at 23, and there will be some who curse Ted for the Justin Harrell pick - still. And despite all that is said and all that is written, nothing will matter until that guy steps on the field and does something.
Will recent big-money signings cause some jealousy in the Packers locker room? Andrew Brandt, who worked on contracts for the Packers for over 10 years, seems to think so...
Ted Thompson has clearly committed to the teams "improve from within" mantra. He has a team that went from 6-10 to a Wild-Card berth and a first round exit in the playoffs. That's improvement. But the next step is the toughest - ensuring the team doesn't experience the terrible slide that saw it spiral from a 13-3 Championship game participant to the aforementioned 6-10 squad.
On today's show, Andy completes his deep dive of 6th round offensive linemen Travis Glover and reviews his biggest strengths, weaknesses, and overall Packers fit. Enjoy!
