    Cushing

    Damn the Polar Bear for not drafting Cush back in 2009. This guy could've been the Packers' version of Urlacher.

    The Texans have decided they're gonna part way with this stud. I say scoop up Cush, German Shepherd!

    Sure, it ain't a secret Cush used the juice to get to where he is today. But the bottom line is, Cush is no longer suspended and he can still play. He's better than any of the donkey ILBs currently on the Packers' roster, including Martinez, who can't cover worth a lick.

    Sign Cush. It's called an upgrade.

    The Claymaker? There are rumors out there about the Claymaker using PEDs, but I don't think he has ever been caught.

    The last 6 years Cushing has been available for 60 out of 96 games. We have enough players like that already. Don't need to add other teams injury prone players.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    I’ve never caught you jerking off but I know you do it.

    Matthews had a gear no one else on the field had his first year or two. How many qbs did he knock out with that otherworldly burst of his? The hammer was coming down, he got word of it, got off the juice and has never been the same without it.

    Agreed. Same with Peppers I think. I 100% believe Mike Neal was behind the whole thing which is why he's been blackballed by the league. 100% not a doubt in my mind.

    Remember how Elliot Wolf let it slip that the Packers were going in a different direction with Neal at the draft? LOL!

    There was a story linking him to PED's at the combine in 2009. He was well above average his first few years.

    Neal was behind it or Neal was scapegoated?

    Because Mike Neal looks more patsy than mastermind in this scenario.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I think he is the one behind the entire thing. He was busted for PEDs early in his career, he had renowned strength, and he has been out of his league for a few years despite being in his prime. Now he's probably past it, but I think he was 28 when he stopped playing for the Packers. It just seems a little off, doesn't it? I think he's been blackballed.

    I'm pretty certain 'roids aren't known for preventing hammy injuries.

    Hammy injuries and Thompson's incompetence contributed primarily to Claymaker's decline in production. Can't accumulate pretty stats if you're sitting out games due to a weak hammy. And you're definitely not gonna be the elite pass rusher you were when they're playing you out of position, thanks to the GM's inability to acquire a bona fide ILB.

    It's highly possible that the Claymaker never used illegal PEDs. Maybe he's just "gifted" genetically.

    Wasn't Peyton Manning also accused of doping? And the guy that made the accusations later recanted?

    Perhaps Neal was the mastermind and he was blackballed, but unlike Kap, Neal was never an extraordinary player. Was a "tweener" JAG - Not big enough to be a DE, not fast enough to be an OLB. Somehow got a 2nd contract from Thompson at $4 M/yr, I think.

    So building on George Cumby's post, if a story comes out linking you to masturbation, are you going to stop??

    I"m all for getting veteran guys instead of undrafted FA's...but eh. I like Martinez and Ryan. I think they are both really starting to "get it". Granted we could use some depth.

    Cushing was a good player in his prime, but I'd pass on him now.

    We need to rebuild the LB'ing Corp, and that has to start with admitting that Ryan and Martinez need to be replaced. Clay is near the end, and Perry should be used with his hand in the dirt more.

    The previous regime was completely clueless about the LB position.
