[red]

good move

bout time

Happy about the move.

Guess the BJ era is over. No more BJ. What's going to happen to the BJ Fan Club that was started a very long time ago? I mean, who doesn't like a BJ? I guess TT doesn't like a BJ.

Seriously though, I think Ryan will be our punter for many years to come. He has loads of potential.

I live in the Cincy area (Nothern Kentucky)

When the Packers drafted Sanders, I was working out at the gym. The news of Sanders draft selection came on the TV. A "buddy" of mine asked me what I thought Sanders' selection. I mumbled something to the effect that that was a hell of high price for a punter. My "pal" then grinned & said, "I'd like introduce to his high school coach" & It was, the guy on the next machine was Sanders coach from a nearby high school. The guy was ok & all & assured me Sanders would be a 10 year All Pro.

I never did hassle the guy about all Sanders career fuck-ups, but I used to see him all the time. Every time I hear of Sanders, I think about my meeting w/ his coach.

I'm so glad the Sanders era is over.

Did everybody see the article that there are more guys on the roster from the Wolf era than the Shermie era?

It's a sad day for Eddie Munster fans everywhere. I guess this means we won't be able to trade him to Houston (Sherman).

Is Mike Sherman licking his lips or whhaaat, Scott?

GO PACK GO !! PACKER FAN FAITH !!

Are you kidding me????

That's the most amazing and pathetic stat I've heard in years. It probably deserves it's own thread.

I mentioned something to this effect on the other punting thread. My theory from early last year has been that TT has been purging Shermy picks just as fast as he possibly can.

As long as he replaces them with a competent player I am fine with it.

I am surprised by the competition leaving camp this early. Maybe before the 4th pre-season game so you can have a full game tryout. But its definitely earlier than I remember other competitions ending.

Harvey is probably right when he says this doesn't close the door on others coming in.

However, Thompson and McCarthy seem to be far more decisive, and faster, than Sherman.

The New York Giants offered $10K more to sign him but Ryan chose the packers because he considered his chances better to make the team.

Less money down can lead to more money later.

One classic draft day blunder made by Sherman that screamed for his removal as GM. The move (or was it Truluck) that convinced Bob Harlan that a new GM was needed.

I don't think it's all that surprising. Shermy was in charge 2002,3, and 4. He had help from Hatley until his demise, and then it was pretty much downhill from there on out. Still, three years is a very short tenure as GM, especially when you have a .667 winning percentage. Millen can't win more than 6-7 games in one year, burns through three coaches, and gets a contract extension. go figure.

I mentioned to my friend as we watched the game that I wondered if the fact that Ryan was holding on FG's/PAT's was a good sign for him/bad sign for BJ.

Ron Wolf's blunder in drafting Conway in the third round in '96 was probably the reason Harlan decided it was time for a new GM. Or maybe it was Jonathan Brown. or was it Steve Warren. More likely it was 2001: Jamaal Reynolds, Robert Ferguson, Bah Jue, Torrence Marshall, and Bill Ferrario - now there's a final draft legacy to be proud of....

[woodbuck27]

This doesn't mean Ryan has made the team. This means they are giving Ryan and Rayner more opportunities to show they belong on the team. You can be sure that if either struggles, the Packers will be looking at any decent veteran that gets cut.

OK Harvey - of course your right but . . . **

** finish the senrence (Harvey)

No, Bro.

Tank has been told the ridiculous nature of thousands of his foolish posts. He was quoted the statistics, shown facts, etc. It never fazed the fool one way or the other. He's, like, too stupid to kill.
