Time for TT to hit a blue chipper

[Fritz]

Quick note on Poppinga: he doesn't get much "love" here, as the players like to say, but I thought he played weill in the playoffs and is still improving. He may not be a world beater, but I think he's going to be a solid linebacker next year.

Ted Thompson says he beleives in using UFA to attack need areas on his team. Him bringing in Chillar says to me that he considers LB to be a weakness.

I'm not sure Ryan will be our punter two years from now; it would not surprise me if TT loads up on picks and takes a flyer on a punter

I thought the same thing when they got the extra 1st day pick. Ryan was actually awful his first year. He hit many liners that were returned for a bunch. He was last in the league ave return per kick. He improved on this last season, but still had problems.

His Chicago game was like shock theatre. It wasn't all his fault, but he must learn to hit the ball better in bad weather. He doesn't kick the ball to the cover consistently and he still bangs punts from our 45 twenty yards out of the end zone. We play 8 games in Lambeau and a good punter can win you the odd game up there. So far, Ryan hasn't cut it.

I think you will see a punter drafted and/or a FA punter brought in.

That being said, GB crushed the highest expectations I had for this squad.
You can pound the crap out of me with that point and I'll bend over (not literally) and take it. Much of that was due to a MVP like performance and another 16 games of health from our QB.

I can't see Rodgers taking us to the Super Bowl in his first year as the QB; if Favre retires I'd continue the rebuilding process with the most focus on the future.

And if my bold predications result on AROD taking up to the Super Bowl, I'll be very very happy to be wrong again.

(So noted) You forgot that much of it was also due to the development of a great running game, an o-line that finally seemed to figure out how to protect the quarterback and a team that carried whoever might be having a rough day and won despite their problems.

And they don't have wii mud wrestling, but they do have wii boxing so I can beat you up this time. Sorry, last time I forgot you wanted me to abuse you...

I disagree with that. I think it was to the development of a great passing attack that really started clicking once Jennings became healthy.

Lb a weakness?? I would say it is. The three starters are solid but the depth behind those three is pretty weak.
