[Bretsky]

didn't know the stat about Julius having more sacks than our LB's

[Tony Oday]

Easy to beat a pass rush when the scheme is allow 10 yard completions and pray.

[Pugger]

Well, if we end up with a top 15 pick next spring perhaps we'll have a shot at one.

We will draft OL with the top pick. QB with 2nd.

I could have sworn this was a glaring need going in to last offseason.

It was. We knew Peppers and Jones probably wouldn't be back, and the injury history of Clay/Perry plus the suspect depth behind them made the need look pretty serious. Signing Brooks was supposed to help, and might yet...but I agree they will probably have to draft a couple of them and hope someone emerges.

Which past rusher are you talking? Reggie White?

[pbmax]

Pass rush has been a need since Super Bowl year.

Never should have let Howard Green go.

Packers have never recovered from losing The Stork.

Pass rushers seem to always go high in today's draft day. I really did like TJ Watt (see my signature) but part of the reason ...to me....it was a no brainer was my fear that there would be not much there for pass rushers in round two. And like the writer, I assumed TT would go get one in either round one of two because it was Captain Obvious Glaring we needed one unless Ted actually though that guy was Fackrell. Either way it does not look pretty at this point.

Looking back, there were a lot of good CB's getting picked around the area GB drafted in round two. Perhaps TT would have needed to move up a bit to get the one he wanted. But there were good DB's around. I'm not sure there was any value as pass rushers there.

Hence the captian obvious article

Now you're digging deep.

Wasn't he The Mad Stork?

I'm glad we have King and I think he's gonna be good but TJ was available when our pick was up and we then we traded down. :-|

Wasn't the Mad Stork Ted Hendricks? Talk about going into the past...

This is the kind of deep insight that makes Packerrats the international 'go to' destination for Green Bay Packers analysis.

That was a sad moment in Packer history. Ted "The Mad Stork" was probably the most dominant pass rusher I have ever seen in the NFL, at least for one season or so. He was unstoppable, and I think he might even have had an interception or two, due to his tremendous height. But he did not want to play in Green Bay, and I think the Packers botched trying to re-sign him. What a shame.

That short term (1974) Green Bay Packer was 'the Real Deal' at the LBer Position..

Ted "The Mad Stork" Hendricks wore Green Bay Packer jersey no. 56 and had one of his best seasons.

He managed all this as a Packer:

Five interceptions, seven blocked kicks (3 field goals, 3 punts and 1 extra point) and a safety, two sacks, 75 tackles, and two knocked down passes and earning consensus All-Pro honors.

After the WFL went bankrupt... Al Davis the Owner of the Oakland Raiders sent two first round draft choices to the Green Bay Packers for the rights to Ted 'The Mad Stork' Hendricks ............. (Ohh No !) ......... and signed him as a limited free agent and his outstanding HOFer Career resumed.

I finally got this after a week of wondering what the hell you were talking about.
