LOL, what do you want? A Warren sapp type performance? Understand our defense. In the middle you need a space clogger, someone to eat up blocks so the DEs and the LBs can run free. Pickett was an absolute horse when it came to that.

The previous year, with the Rams, Pickett was second in tackles among DL, only to to Kampman. Today they line up side by side. Cool, huh?

Team needs



The team needs are as follows............

We have the players in camp that will make the 53 man roster that can get the job done (win the NFC North [Central])......

1) the offense needs to play ball control
- limit turnovers ( O would be nice, but unrealistic)
- no points to opposing teams while we're on "offense"
- Favre needs less than 15 int's
- move the chains, gain field position
- score td's when inside the 10 yard line
- score points when inside the 35 yard line

2) special teams
- help "D" and "O" with field position
- no turnovers
- no returns for td's while punting and KO's

3) defense
- we'll be just fine as long as the "O" doesn't put them in bad field positions and the "O" moves the chains once and awhile to spell the "D".
- make the opponents suffer long drives - no big plays 20+ yards...

I feel real good about this season.... "D" looks great and that's the foundation for a good season.... The "O" just needs to taks care of the ball, score when opportunity knocks, and mix it up...

IMO - the "O" with Favre has always looked good (better than normal) when they go quik or no huddle during the middle of the game... I wish they would do this about every 3rd or 4th series in every game...



Just thought I would pat my own back today!!!!!! clap1 Thumbs Up

Yeah, nice generalizations.

All of pros on this forum had these points discussed, memorized and were "givens" on 8-28-07 ... get over yourself and get back to Mayberry.

just for the record, I said if the Packers scored more points per game than thier opponent, they would have a chance at a winning season.

I'm changing my needs list:

- Guard - As I've said before, Colledge needs to be at LT. I don't like him at LG anymore. 3 months ago I did, but 3 months ago I thought we'd be 5-4 at this point so obviously things change.

- Runningback - Grant is doing well and Wynn looked good when healthy but I think we need another RB. I'm not writing Jackson off, but right now he looks like the 3rd down back at best IMO.

- Corner - Bush is up and down and after him we have nothing. This draft isn't incredibly deep with solid corners so this may need to be addressed even earlier.

- Tight End - Lee looks very solid but behind him it's thin. Bubba was doing good until his injury but really those two are all we have.

- Linebacker - Depth

- QB - Depth

I beg to differ.... and if you would read just a little, the "pros" were telling us what we were missing, what we needed for next year, heck there was mention of the back-up QB.... What "pros" they are.... Get a clue.... I nailed it and I didn't say we were lacking anything (like many others) to win the North... The Pack is doing exactly what I thought they would.....

I will say that the Packers need to draft some CB's come next year or/and pick one up in FA. Bush scares me still and the jury's out on Blackmon. Travon Williams did not look too good covering in the preseason.

It's all good. There are more than one or two ways to build a team and apparently TT's method is working quite well.

Nice list, GraveDigger, and I agree. I don't think BPA is a good philosophy next draft unless it's limited to those positions. A safety would be nice, too, as I'm not sure Collins can be anything more than average.

GD, I'm pretty much in total agreement... but I'll go so far as to "streamline and prioritize" the list...

Need #1: SOLID GUARD - Spitz, Moll or Barbre may be it. It takes time to develop, just look at Coston.

Need #2: SOLID NICKEL CORNER/FUTURE STARTER - Someone as an heir-apparent to Al Harris; Blackmon is no longer atop my list only because of his injury proneness.

Need #3: SOLID FS - I'm not in love with Collins. He can't turn and look for the ball and when he does he can't get a hand on it.

Need #1 or 2 or 3 or 4: STUD RB - Let's see how Grant pans out the second half and we'll all know how badly we need one...

As far as TEs go, we just resigned Lee and he's had a great year. I have a feeling management is happy with the tandem of him and Franks. Our stellar WR corps makes any TE that much better anyway. It's not a pressing need, IMO.

BPA, of course, is the way to go - I just hope we nab some of these positions.

Does anyone know who's an UFA at G, CB and FS this offseason?

I know Faneca is a free agent and will probably leave Pittsburgh. I think Babineaux from Seattle is available. TT will know him. and of course Assante Samuel of New England will get a mega deal from somebody... With Michael Turner, those three or four will be the bigger names on the free agent front.

Jake Scott and Ryan Lilja from the Colts will both be UFAs. I think both a relatively young. Indy's Oline has been the league's best for a couple years now. Seems like every year they surrender the fewest sacks. These are the only 2 I like from this UFA class.

The other UFA OGs:

OG P.J. Alexander UFA Atlanta Falcons
OG Rick DeMulling UFA Indianapolis Colts
OG Keydrick Vincent UFA Baltimore Ravens
OG Fred Weary UFA Houston Texans
OG Floyd Womack UFA Seattle Seahawks

Obviously Asante Samuel will be the top FA corner. Drayton Florence (Colts) is also a UFA but he lost his starting spot to Antonio Chromartie.

The other UFA CBs:
Randall Gay UFA New England Patriots
Tory James UFA New England Patriots
B.J. Sams UFA Baltimore Ravens
Chad Scott UFA New England Patriots

The UFA Safeties:
Jordan Babineaux UFA Seattle Seahawks
William Bartee UFA Kansas City Chiefs
Jay Bellamy UFA New Orleans Saints
Omar Stoutmire UFA Washington Redskins
Derrick Strait UFA Carolina Panthers
Gibril Wilson UFA New York Giants

Sanders would look good in Green Bay. And TT could still get Randy MossSmiler

From Pro Football Weekly

PFW’s 10 free agents to watch


Nov. 13, 2007


Not all free agents are created equal. In the cutthroat world of the NFL, some are looked on as franchise cornerstones, while others are merely footnotes on a transactions page. From athletic marvels to legal deviants to consummate professionals, no two players offer an identical package. As voted on by the PFW editors, here are the 10 most intriguing free agents-to-be, all of whom bear following as the season progresses.

1. WR Randy Moss, New England Patriots

New England won’t shell out top dollar for Moss, but he may decide to remain with the Pats, regardless.

2. SS Bob Sanders, Indianapolis Colts

Look no further than a healthy Sanders as the biggest reason for the Colts’ defensive turnaround.

3. DT Albert Haynesworth, Tennessee Titans

Vilified in 2006 for cleating Andre Gurode’s face, Haynesworth is now abusing O-linemen the right way.

4. CB Asante Samuel , New England Patriots

Immune to being franchised again, Samuel will have a hoard of suitors longing for his signature.

5. LB Lance Briggs, Chicago Bears

Equally abusive to ballcarriers and automobiles, Briggs has been better than teammate Brian Urlacher in ’07.

6. RB Michael Turner, San Diego Chargers

LaDainian Tomlinson’s understudy is too explosive to remain a No. 2 option in San Diego.

7. OG Alan Faneca, Pittsburgh Steelers

Faneca didn’t get the extension he was seeking in Pittsburgh, so it’s nearly certain he’s gone in 2008.

8. TE Dallas Clark, Indianapolis Colts

The versatile Clark is a better bet to receive a long-term deal in Indy than teammate Bob Sanders.

9. LB Terrell Suggs, Baltimore Ravens

Despite sagging sack numbers, Suggs is on pace to set a career high in tackles.

10. CB Nnamdi Asomugha, Oakland Raiders

Rarely tested by opposing quarterbacks, Asomugha has yet to nab an interception after eight picks in ’0
