i wouldn't mind Bennett beating some anger into our defense.

It is refreshing to see Ted Thompson get a quality player from the Free Agent pool. Bennett is a great addition for the Packers.

It does not however fill the void at the CB/CB's position. I hope that TT's personal pride in his past CB picks does not blind him to the reality that most others plainly see. GB needs a secondary that can shut down opposing receivers . Until that happens, GB will continue to be watching SB games from their home couches .

I really wanted this beast when he parted ways with the Bears and was disappointed when he went to New England. A couple of years on, I'm a little less enthusiastic, but I'm looking forward to seeing him challenge the middle of the field or possibly even play from the slot. Hell, given McCarthy's penchant for unconventional formations, we might see him out wide as often as not.

Nevertheless, I'm concerned that Thompson has failed to fill any holes on defense. You can have the world's greatest offense in the regular season, but it won't make a bean's worth of difference in the postseason if your defense can't shut down opposing offenses in the fourth quarter. I'd rather have a historically nasty defense we can depend upon when the games matter than a spectacular regular-season aerial attack that collapses under the pressure of single elimination.

The draft is loaded with defensive players at our positions of need. I'd like Ted to really load up on OLBs. Sick of not having book ends, and Clay isn't the same.

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.

dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
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
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
