Good Job Thompson....It Only Took 4 Years.

[Bossman641]

Yea, it's really a shame that we didn't hang onto Henderson and all those other veterans.

Rivera is available. Maybe we can bring him back.
Tell TT to get on the phone about a Sharper trade.
What is Flanagan doing these days?
Is Michael Hawthorne still alive?

Nobody is doubting that Henderson is a great guy with a ton of class. He is one of my favorite Packers, however his time had come. There was a noticeable decline in his skills.

If that's your main argument, you need to head back to the drawing board.

What specifically is your problem with our offensive line? Not idol bitching, but what specifically is your issue?[/quote]

Exactly, Pennington and Clemens were sacked 54 times last year, way more than Favre, good luck Brett.

[sheepshead]

Yep, Brett's not gonna be looking at the stars at all with this bunch. Good Call!

PB, when Henderson was cut it was because he wasn't a serviceable FB anymore. Everybody loved Hendo, he played the game right and was a fantastic person.

However, and a lot agree on this point, Hendo had declined, at the point TT cut him, to a degree where he couldn't benefit the team on the field as much as another fullback could. Simple as that.

First of all, I would like to thank you for keeping your response respectfull, and also thank anyone else who has posted to this thread with any kind of dignity or respect. Lately, if I post something, I like to let the thread go by itself for a while, to let all the smart/dumb-asses get in their attempts to be witty. If the thread dies before I get back to it, so be it. I just like to express my opinions in the hopes of hearing from others that share my views.

With that being said, I'm 37 years old, and have been a Packer fan for as long as I can remember. I agree with you, that Henderson was getting a little long in the tooth, but if you were to go back and look at how he had been used over the years, you would see that he (and all other FB's on the roster during his tenure) was really only used as a blocker who recieved a screen pass every now and then. Hell, just take a look at his stats, and you would have to wonder why you didn't ever hear him bitch about his limited use.

Henderson was a team player through and through, read my post, take out the parts that you don't like about Thompson, and try to understand that all things considered, I really do not think it would have hurt the team in the least to let Hendo finish out the last year of his contract. I just think it would have been nice to have seen him sent off in style, rather than just cutting him. (I am just assuming that he would have retired at the end of his contract.)


Mark Shlerriff (yes I spelled it wrong, and may even get the quote wrong, so fuckin sue me) said something along the lines of how "players show their commitment to the team through their play on the field. The commitment that the Packers have been showing to their players should be written on toilet paper." In Thompsons case, used toilet paper.

Re: Good Job Thompson....It Only Took 4 Years.

Wow, I am impressed!!! From the time that Thompson came to GB and started to "not rebuild", it only took him four years to put a qualified O-line in front of Brett Favre............in fucking New York.
.

I didn't pay a lot of attention last year. How many wins did the jets have? How many sacks did they allow? How many yards rushing did they have? How did this stellar line compare with the packers?

[sheepshead]

Hey PB -- Fuck You, you'll get a respectful response when you write a respectful post. Read that hunk of trash again and explain why anyone shouldn't go off on you. Profanity, totally wrong information and very little thought, but somehow with some self imposed authority.

Typical garbage found in an open forum.

[PackerBlues]

The Jets have made some changes to their O-line this year, from what I understand, every guy on the line was a former 1st round pick. While I understand that being a first round pick does not mean shit (Justin Harrell anyone?), the Jets have shown that they are very enthusiastic about protecting their QB. Unlike Thompsons cheap ass, they even used free agency.

(by the way JH, take a look at what that "Favre-Hater" Rod Woodson has on his chin. Looks like a nut-warmer. You should think about getting one for you and ted. )

Post these numbers, adjusted, half way throught the season. Then they will be applicable.

Maybe they dont have those guys in camp yet?? hmmmm

"Post these numbers, adjusted, half way throught the season. Then they will be applicable."

I don't get it. What do you mean?

[DonHutson]

Henderson was a team player through and through, read my post, take out the parts that you don't like about Thompson, and try to understand that all things considered, I really do not think it would have hurt the team in the least to let Hendo finish out the last year of his contract. I just think it would have been nice to have seen him sent off in style, rather than just cutting him.

Henderson was a team player, and therefore I doubt he would've wanted anyone doing him any favors if he wasn't the best man for the job. He'll get his big sendoff when he goes into the Packer HOF.

[Freak Out]

I really think the Pack line are going to be monsters this year....it SHOULD all come together. Even the North Pole boy is going to get it done on a consistent basis...just like a good Alaskan always does.

The Jets brought some good guys in but are they going to all come together at the right time?

Mark Schlereth is an idiot who is in love with everything Brett does just like all the other ex-jocks at favrespn. I really hate it when he is on tv and opens his mouth to talk.
