I really don't want to see Pickett as a starter anymore, but if he accepted a rotational role on a veteran team friendly deal it would be OK.

Boyd and Jones have earned their spots on this team. I also hope Johnny Jolly is back because he plays with a lot of heart.

I say resign Pickett to a team fiendly (hopefully cheap) deal and let him compete with everyone else for their spot, and don't give anyone a spot... maybe them earn it.

That being said I'm pretty sure Pickett (if resign) would be the starting NT again unless they sign someone new in FA or hit a homerun on someone in the draft.

Hopefully the others can out play Pickett when their is no NT.


I hope Jolly is healthy again... and him and Pickett are able to play another year for the Packers. Both of them play with a lot of heart. Though Pickett has no pass rush... Jolly does have some.

And Pickett had a down year, maybe due to injury and maybe do to age... and they do need a long term replacement, but he's a decent run stopper and the best the Packers have had.

To bring in a top DT/NT through FA would run up 5-11 million/yr. So the question becomes, how much can we afford to spend keeping Dlineman.

Jolly,Raji,Pickett are the three we have that can handle the NT position. How much would we be willing to pay them per/yr.

If we don't bring Raji back and go with Jolly and/or Pickett because of their age, it means we need to look for a NT in the draft.

And for those that say Pickett and Raji are the best we have, well I say that is not good enough and a total cop out. I prefer Raji and Pickett off the roster and bring in other guys. Those two get no push up the middle, and the Packers run defense has been getting gashed repeatedly. Raji and Pickett offer nothing for pass rush either. So somebody please explain to me, like I'm a four year old child, why it is we need to keep either of these players that look as if they are just going through the motions instead of playing with passion and heart.

You might not like Pickett lack of pass rush skill but doesn't mean he didn't do his best and do it with passion and heart just like Jolly does.

But like I said all of them can be upgraded... it will be intesting to see if Ted Thompson goes into FA this season or not... I think he should some, at least a good Safety. And better DL and OLB wouldn't hurt.

Who are we going to bring in instead of Raji and Pickett and How much are you willing to spend. To get a better NT is going to cost easily 5 million minimum and even at that price there is no guarantee that whoever id brought in is going to be better.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned

dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
