    Staying with the Pack, I’m told they are very high on Stephone Anthony, who would fill a need at inside linebacker. Anthony had 16 official visits at the combine and the first team he met with was Green Bay. I was informed Anthony is a favorite of defensive coordinator Dom Capers.

    49ers are trying to Michael Wilhoite for a 6th or 7th round pick

    guy started every game this year, had 87 tackles, 6 passes defended and 2 ints

    anyone watch him at all?

    seems to be able to do the one thing none of our ILB's have been able to do, cover people

    Could be like a Brandon Chillar type in terms of low risk, possible productive reward. Chillar didn't turn out to be much, but the Packers didn't invest a lot in him.

    He sounds really interesting and he was only making a little under 600,000 a yr so he might be signable with out breaking the bank sounds like the kind of player TT loves if hes not good enough to start would make a good backup

    Something tells me this Zach Vigil, ILB out of Utah Sate will have a good chance at making a team. What do you think of him?

    He's projected to be an ILB in a 3-4. He could be a late round, priority free agent to keep an eye on.

    We should really draft a smash mouth football player...Chris Borland comes to mind
    Wait...Dammit...that was last year
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    I wouldn't stay up late praying for him to play well.

    Packers just need to draft all Badgers - then maybe they can have playoff games that look like the Big Ten Championship.

    He's a candidate for the dime linebacker spot now that Jones is gone.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I like Ellerbe. When I've watched Raven games, he flashed quite a bit. Good athlete; had been pretty instinctive in Baltimore; don't really know what his full issues were with the Dolphins - injuries of course, but did he underperform when he was on the field?? I didn't follow him in Miami.

    He played pretty well for the Ravens. Is Miami running a defense substantially different than Balt.?? Was he asked to play a different style/responsibility that didn't fit his game??

    Still, even not knowing all of his issues with the Dolphins, I liked him quite a bit when he was with the Ravens. If we got that player? I'd argue that is a huge upgrade over Hawk.

    Ellerbe was traded to the Saints today for Kenny Stills. Good thought though. I liked him in Baltimore too.

    Good news for the Pack. Saints might now be one less competitor for ILB in the draft.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    Might be true, but the chances of the Phins taking Kendricks seem to have taken a moderate bump...

    Now that the dust is settling on the free agency frenzy, do you see anyone from this list that looks interesting enough to consider for help at ILB?

    http://www.nfl.com/freeagency#position=LB

    If he's healthy, and available talent being equal, should the Packers consider bringing Jamari Lattimore back? It would be for depth.

    I don't think Lattimore has the instincts to play inside. In the wrong gap too often. Bradford and Palmer will be given the chance to show they can play inside. TT will probably draft at least 1. Matthews will probably play inside quite a bit. It will be a position with a lot of question marks.
