last year we had 2 records set

Ahman Green Franchise leader in rushing yards.

Donald Driver Franchise leader in receptions.

and barring injury Nick Barnett will be the franchise leader in tackles.

Ranks third in franchise annals (stat kept since 1975) with 986 career tackles, trailing only John Anderson (1,020) and Johnnie Gray (1,001).

what a record setting bunch we have.

He averaged a little over 5 a game last season and he needs 35 more. So basing it off those numbers he could break the record week 7 against the vikings.

Pretty much a meaningless record. The MLB almost always leads the team in tackles, and Barnett has played there awhile. And they did not count tackles in the stat line during Ray Nitschke's era.

Geez. Hate much? This record is at least a testament to his longevity and production. He still young as well. Statistically the best LBer we've had in 35 years. But lets not give him too much praise.

I'm sure over half the teams in our league would like to have Nick as their MLB.

Nick's OK in my book, he needs to improve his coverage like the rest of our LBs

his last INT was in 07' vs the Eggles i believe...

I wasn't hating on Nick. He's been a very good LB, and very durable. I am a Nick Barnett fan. The record is a testament to his longevity, but not so much his production, because if you play MLB you are going to get a lot of tackles, regardless of how good you are. Bernardo Harris got a lot of tackles too, when he started for the Packers, and he was possibly the slowest MLB in the league.

This is an important year for Barnett. If he doesn't improve his pass rushing skills and his coverage skills, he could be a liability not worth having in the 3-4 defense.

I thought he played well in the 3-4 last year. Are there others who share your opinion that he needs to improve?

<----- this guy, Hawk as well.

They both need to improve in coverage, I feel too much blame is put on AJ when they both have been pretty meh IMO.

I do. I think he needs to be at leasy serviceable in pass coverage and rushing, just to keep the competition honest. And he's not there yet.

TheKanataThrilla (54m) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (59m) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (1h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (2h) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (4h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (4h) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (4h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (5h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (5h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (5h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (5h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (7h) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (8h) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (9h) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (9h) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (9h) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (15h) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (15h) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (21h) : *Orzech*

dfosterf (21h) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension

Zero2Cool (22h) : Packers signed someone for three year deal

Zero2Cool (22h) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know

wpr (22h) : YES!!!!!!

Mucky Tundra (22h) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!

Zero2Cool (23h) : @JJLahey · 2m Holy crap, Packers, where the heck is the list?

Zero2Cool (23h) : haha folks on Tweeter every year this time ... 'where is list Packers!!" hahaha

wpr (23h) : He played pretty good.

Zero2Cool (23h) : NAZIR STACKHOUSE HAS MADE THE 53

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NOOOOO KALEN IS GONE

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Kalen King and Kamal Hadden making it. me thinks

schroeder84 (26-Aug) : @dfosterf I suspect Elgersma WILL be hard to hide. Raw, but talented

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : pp.com is broken, halt testing, gotta go do work things for a bit

hardrocker950 (26-Aug) : Mecole Hardman was released, to the surprise of few

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : PP.com updated. Reset Password works, and now User Profile pages are a thing

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : Soft hope plan is having fantasy football weekly on-site that i build. cannot do that with this setup.

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : It's older technology, resource hog, cannot be upgraded/changed. That's to start.

packerfanoutwest (25-Aug) : Ok, but what is wrong with this site?

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : check out packerpeople.com

Mucky Tundra (25-Aug) : Oh crap I missed that! I thought it was a 2026 pick

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : It wasn't even next year pick, it's two years away. old dog food value

Mucky Tundra (25-Aug) : Yep! Everytime a team trades with Howie that team is the loser (so says the media)

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : We are hosed.
