For the record, their OC is now the Bills OC....

But Thompson did hire their Offense Line coach

How do you feel about these changes?

Ron Zook came in last year. It is not as if Zook had his hand on everything and had his scheme being used. Mike McCarthy also said there would be a big culture change in that Special Teams group. This isn't Mike Stock stepping down for Shawn Slocum who was essentially groomed for a handful of years as his under study. This is someone who has had a plethora of coaching being handed the ST unit.

Agreed, Zook was only with them one year... and I've seen the players quoted as saying more positive things about Zook (in one year) then I remember seeing about the other two coaches in a lot more years.

And yeah, maybe Zook didn't do so well in STs in the 90s... BUT do we know he's not a better coach than he was in the 90s? or do we know what his ST player talent was then and how it compares to the current packers? or if those ranking system people are any good or even a good system to be looking at?

If you're wondering, Clements was the OC with the Bills in '04 and '05 and his unit finished 7th and 24th respectively.

In 2005, the Bills released Bledsoe... sort of forcing them to go to second year, 1st round pick J.P. Losman, who kinds sucked and soon replaced by vet Kelly Holcomb (until Holcomb got injured and they went back to Losman). And the WRs and rest of the offense (other than maybe the running game) suffered because of this.

So assuming Rodgers is playing, I'd look more towards his 2004 rookie play calling OC year.

Who the hell is Jason Simmons?

While with the Texans Simmons wore #30, until the Texans signed RB Ahman Green who wanted it... Simmons agreed to let Green have it, under the condition Green pays for "the down payment on a home for an underprivileged family in the Houston area, a sum that ultimately amounted to $50,000."

For the past three years Simmon has been the Packers "team’s (defense) coaching administrator" which includes "working closely with the defensive staff to collect and tabulate weekly production statistics, in addition to assisting at practice with both the starting defense and opponent scout teams."

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
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 .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
