    What the hell is Snyder doing? Has he not seen Hall play recently?
    And you guys are all ripping on TT for not doing anything.

    Can't say that about big bad Dan. He's doing....something. What the hell that is, know one knows.

        Hey, what about Tank Johnson?

        Wonder if he's got anything left...in the tank.

        If you need quick access to an ironicly-placed rimshot sound to mock your friends, or a genuinely-placed rimshot to put your great joke over the top, you've come to the right place.

          After franchise tags and resignings, anybody else feel the FA list leaves a lot to be desired?

            Brown has been a decent starter for Houston, and played under Dom.

            Curtis is a pretty good backup.

            Not so high on Nap Harris.

              I like Tony Curtis as I believe the Packers need to get some more size if they want to have a dominant running game.

                While on the subject, are their any firing ranges in GB?

                  I still like Rocky Bernard; Vilma would be intriguiging. It seems like yesterday in your two of TT's reign when I posted that top 100 FA list and we were crossing them off as they were signed.........poll'd about how many TTT would get. Too funny looking back at it

                  I'll be happy with a role player or two; that's about all I expect if even that

                  Plenty of guys that could help us more.
                  TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                    I like Tony Curtis, too. He was great in Some Like it Hot.

                      Do you really think there are plenty of guys who could help that much? I'm not sure there are. There are plenty who look OK from a distance, but it seems when they get to your team they aren't much different than what you had. Mark Roman and Marquand Manual were thought to be somewhat better than what we had. They weren't. Chiller seemed like he should be an upgrade over Poppinga. He is different than Poppinga, but does he change things much?

                      If you look around there are fans on other teams that think Colin Cole can be a significant improvement for them, yet most Packer fans are indifferent about him. I think many of the players we look at from other teams are simply their Colin Coles, Brandon Chillers, Mark Romans and Marquand Manuals. From a distance they look like upgrades, but in actuallity they are just different.

                        Vilma has proven to be a terrible fit for the 3-4. He was awful in NY when they switched to a 3-4. He rebounded playing in NO's 4-3 this past year. The list is awful. I'm okay with not overspending on big name, old guys. Grab a few sleeper types.

                          When Kerry Collins is the 2nd best QB, Maurice Morris is the 3rd best RB, Nate Washington is the 2nd best WR, Chris Kemoeatu is the best OG, a seriously injured Mark Tauscher is the 3rd best OT, Antonio Smith is the 2nd best DE, Rocky Bernard is the 2nd best DT, Jermaine Phillips is the best S, and Jabari Greer is the 3rd best CB, you know it's a weak crop. Yuck! And these guys are going to get contracts beyond what the deserve. I'd like to see Thompson dabble on some sleeper types for decent contracts, but we have too many guys needing contracts soon to go overboard. Regardless, I'm not expecting much too happen the first week or two--maybe because I don't want to be disappointed.

                            I wouldn't mind them going after one of the TEs though--Baker, Smith, or even Curtis. It would be good to have three decent ones.

                            I wouldn't mind Jon Stinchcomb at RT. Maybe Tra Thomas for a stopgap.

                            At DE, Olshansky.
                            At DT, anybody think Ron Fields is worth a look? Is he better than Colin Cole?

                            There are some LBs and Ss available. It's a matter of it, and whether they think Bigby is the answer in the 3-4 defense.

                            Not much for corners, and 1) the good ones aren't going to want to go to GB to be a backup, or 2) Harris wouldn't be happy as a nickel.

                              Sorry, bad joke

                              An interesting poll would be our PR expectations of TT this offseason.

                              I expect a backup or two to compete with the we're fine there guys we already have.

                              Not expecting any remote type of splash early either
