Damn, I wish everybody had this guy's attitude. He has his limitations, but he's a great team guy who can be a really valuable role player.

pop's one of my favorite packers, he bleeds green and gold -
Popp
Great attitude, to bad he has ZERO talent. Can't tackle. Can't dis-engage. Can't make ANY plays behind the line. NEVER forces fumbles. All he does is take up space, yet people love him cause he's a great guy. Has'nt made one game changing play but let's keep him around cause he talks a great game..........Comment

Re: Popp
yea, spot on as usual. This guy is actually pretty fricking strong against the run....go back and watch the NFC Championship game and tell me who it was stuffing the run all day to the strong side again.Originally posted by Packnut
He had a bad run at the end of last year, but the first 9 weeks he was a stud, and likely he will start and be pretty strong this season as well...but hey, you are a better judge of talent then TT or MM.The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince LombardiComment

He played at BYU, so the day he get's cut will be my favorite day of his tenure.Comment

Re: Popp
He's one of the best linebackers at gap control.Originally posted by Packnut
Watch, his gap is NEVER run on successfully.
He is absolutely outstanding at that.
No other Packer is even close.

The team drafted 2 olb along with some free agents. Pop gets cut. While Pop made strides his lack of ball awareness is too much of liability.Comment

They will probably keep 9 linebackers. I'll be surprised if Pop isn't one of them.I can't run no more

No way does Popp get cut imo. He's an undeappreciated player with a tiny contract and does things the right way.Comment

The days of keeping mediocre players with good attitudes and good work ethic are over. You can be a tub of lard and come into camp out of shape and then mysteriously get "injured" until the regular season starts and still play for this team. Many very good locker room guys were cut over the past 4 years, and their replacements, haven't exactly shown they were any better.
Give Thompson a bunch of mediocre football players who are hard workers with good attitudes, and he will give you a championship caliber team. Wait no, that's the Patriots, never mind..."Once the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the Republic.”

Re: Popp
It's probably because he's too confused to move. He doesn't get cut though. As much as I've despised his play as a starter, he's a perfect back-up. Great attitude, seems to have leadership value, and isn't so bad that you'll lose a game because he has to come in. He's simply been a guy that fills some space and runs around a little - which is when he looks confused and out of place. Sure, I would like a LB with a larger set of skills, but don't forget that for how unimpressed some of us have been with Poppinga, the other guys still have to prove they're better in something other than a college game.Originally posted by Fritz"You're all very smart, and I'm very dumb." - PartialComment
