Who are our inside LBs?

Barnett, Hawk, Bishop, Chillar.

Yeah, we're gonna hang on to Hawk (as we should). I feel as though his draft selection still holds him hostage. If he was a third rounder we'd all be talking about what a solid player he is. Isn't that a little messed up?

And if you think I'm simply poo-pooing any critical discussion regarding Hawk, I'm not. He isn't a perfect player. Discussions are merited. But it seems to me that fans are too eager to dump off solid players if they haven't lived up to huge expectations. It's hard for me to imagine a scenario wherein Hawk leaves and our LBs as a whole are better for it.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

They can't cut Hawk.. won't happen. But if someone was willing to trade for him and clear the path to see what we have in Bishop completely.. I could see that.

Bishop is hurt. I think he'll be traded before Hawk does.

Why do you always have to bang on Bishop. ;)

What next.. saying Colledge is inconsistent and Bush has mental lapses at times.

I just am not impressed with him anymore. Kind of like the raves about Shields, I hear them, but am not seeing the reason for them. It's almost like 'hey lets boast about this guy because its a change!' and there's no real substance behind it.

I'm not seeing him do much, other than special teams. I think he's a more versatile version of Abdul Hodge.

It isn't about expectations or draft position. It is about bang for buck, and these two guys waaaaaaaay overpaid. I don't want anyone traded, but I do want salaries to somewhat reflect production. I'm still flabergasted by Poppinga's contract and that has been 3 years now.l

No, it isn't.

Let's say you are hired for a Senior level position and are making about 20% more than the guy they hired to do the Junior role, who was fresh out of college.

If he performs better than you, you're in trouble.

I think the analogy fits to football. First round picks have higher expectations that they better live up to. We had higher expectations for Raji and CM3 and so far both have fulfilled them, especially CM3.

Your not impressed because he doesn't get a ton of playing time to impress and he can't cover man to man for a lick.. much like Hawk.

The difference between him and Hawk is in the box..

Ya the guy isnt the best at his position but IMO hawk is a solid LB he makes a lot of tackles and he is a good tackler.If I recall he was second on the team with 89 tackles 1 sack and 2 int ya not the best but hey it is productive.I looked at all the seasons since he was drafted he is a consistent LB he was either 1st or 2nd on the team with tackles and he does make plays once in a while.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
