Off Season Decisions to be made for 2010.

[Patler]

Time to move on, today is the first day of preparations for the 2010 season.
Lots of decisions to be made:

For McCarthy:
Slocum?
Campen?

For Thompson:
Kampman-this is a big one. Tag and trade? Sign? Waive good-bye?
Clifton & Tauscher - How much should you pay to bring either back?
Pickett? - Probably quite doable.
Collins? - Not sure you can let him go, but how much will you pay?
The interior line situation. Do you pay any one of them?
Where does Lang fit, guard or tackle. Is he the RT of the future?
Jolly - seems easy. Make him play for the RFA contract until his legal woes are clarified.
Blackmon - bring him back at your price. Don't make a Bush-like mistake.
You have to find a punter.
What about Crosby? Send him to a kicking guru? Who competes with him?

Arod said today he wants both tackles back...

Now that GB is out of the playoffs, the hiring game is open.

We'd better move quick, because I read Bobby April was already talking to Tomlin in Pittsburgh.

get rid of both slocum and campen. campen should have been gone last year

i would tag and trade kampman in a perfect world, maybe get a second for him. but this isn't a perfect world, he has a torn acl. can we get anything in a trade for him. and i don't think you keep him, he just doesn't fit the system

pickett, jolly, and collins all need to be resigned imo

clifton and tausch maybe to two year deals. lang could be a replacement for one of them, but we can't let them both go. it would be nice to get a lt in the draft and let him sit for a year

[Freak Out]

How bad was Cliffy hurt? It looked bad with him on the wagon heading out but what the word from the bonesaw boys?

Slocum and Campen gone...please

Kamp we NEED to tag him because I could see him going to Packers West (aka Viqueens)

Clifton and Taush if they can play need to be resigned

I still like Lang!

Jolly done for sure he is a beast

Blackmon for sure! When he is on the field he is explosive! however a new guy needs to be found.

I say we give Kapinos another year however bring in some competition

Crosby needs to be shown the door if he can't get out of his head, that being said I am not a fan of him at all but h has a monster leg and he can fix things....I hope...we need to bring another couple of kickers to compete and push him.

We need some more ABLE bodies in defensive secondary

Collins needs to be resigned

Finley would be nice to see him locked up

I think we need another year out of the O line and Lang NEEDS to have a monster offseason. Then we should be fine there.

I would like to see the Pack offer Kamp to Cleveland for Cribbs

[bobblehead]

I say bring back Kampman any way you can. If anyone thinks his pass rush wasn't sorely missed I'm not sure what games you watched.

This, to me, seems hypocritical. (Not calling you a hypocrite, it just seems like the statements are somewhat counterintuitive.) Crosby has way more talent respectively than Kapinos. Whereas Crosby has a correctable issue (since his misses are consistent), Kapinos appears to have hit his talent ceiling (being so inconsistent). So why give the inconsistent kicker with a low ceiling more time to iron out his issues and give an ultimatum on a talented kicker who has one wrinkle in his kicking this year?

[hoosier]

If the Packers tag Kampman they will be stuck with him for the year. Nobody in their right mind would take on that kind of contract for an over-30 player coming off a major knee injury, let alone give up a draft pick for one! That injury sucked for Kampman but it sucked for GB too because it means that they're going to have to let him go with no compensation...No way does Kampman re-sign with GB to play in the 3-4 again.

I would prioritize re-signing Pickett and Collins. It sounds like Pickett must be more signable than Collins; what is Collins's status: is he restricted or un? If restricted, hopefully he does not become a major problem if he only gets offered a one-year deal. My intuition tells me that Colledge is as good as gone. Somebody is going to overpay based on his supposedly high ceiling, and the Packers should know by now that he is both inconsistent and not an especially team oriented kind of guy. That means that OL continues to be a highly unsettled unit for GB.

basically I was saying that we did not lose one game because of Kapinos kicks. I think we need competition at BOTH kicking spots. Crosby may have more upside but being a kicker he may not be able to get out of his own head. (And I never take anything on a message board personal I knew what you were getting at)

I say bring back Kampman any way you can. If anyone thinks his pass rush wasn't sorely missed I'm not sure what games you watched.

You do recall the Packers seemed to play better when AK was not in? At the start of the season, his pass rush was non-existent. They had to put his hand in the dirt to get him a rush and since he was still the LOLB, it put a crimp in the defenses ability to confuse.

He is missed currently for his ability to set an edge against the run. Jones couldn't do it yesterday.

Bring back Cliffy. Lang at RT. If there is no CBA, Colledge, Spitz and Collins are staying. If there is one, hang Colledge out to dry and if the offers trickle in, sign him cheap. Sign Spitz. Sign Collins if Capers thinks he can be a part of better middle of the defense pass defense.

Sign Pickett.

Campen has Sitton and Lang to his credit right now. The HC, Offensive Coordinator and T2 need to decide if Campen simply coaches the bigger bodies better, they just got lucky with those 2 picks, or it Colledge is simply as good as he can be. If they hash that out, they will have an answer. Which will be good because I sure as heck don't.

Slocum should be mulched like a Christmas tree.

Another coach to consider: Joe Whitt Jr. Holdover on McCarthy's choice. He was damned with faint praise by Perry and Capers earlier this season in an article on JSO. And the backup CBs looked confused yesterday by the bunch formations. Of course, he was working with Bush and a lot of youth: Bell, Underwood and ol' whathisface.

yea, i recall early on, but I think that the 3 weeks prior to, and in the dallas game he had kind of found his rythem and Capers had figured out how to use him. CM had his hand down at times, so I don't have a problem with Kamp doing it. I would probably rotate him into the DE position in the nickel and rest one of the beefy guys, while letting him play OLB in base. Just my opinion I think we need his rush badly enough to find a way to use it.

[Bossman641]

At what price though? I'm not sure you can run the risk of tagging AK and hoping you can find somebody willing to trade for him. I know there is slated to be no salary cap, but there's no way AK deserves to be paid like a top 5 OLB.

Is that still how it will work? Tagged players get paid the average of the top 5 players at that position?
