Packers To Part Ways With Bishop?

[Pugger]

I brought up Collins to remind those who thought releasing Bishop would be the undoing of any hope for the defense because Bishop was such a a smashmouth guy - to remind them that talent and athleticism mean more than a "tough guy" who may make you feel good about your own manliness cuz he's a badass - but can't cover a tight end cuz he's too slow.

And if we are wringing our hands because we let Kaepernick run wild on us maybe it is speed we need more than attitude.

Comment woodbuck27:

Who has the best shot at signing Desmond Bishop? It's really anyone's guess but if CAP space is any indication of such eligibility:

The Vikings lead in eligible salary CAP space, in the race to sign likely the best FA available today in Desmond Bishop.

The Vikings have $7.1 Million$ Salary CAP space available.

The Chiefs are sit at $3.5 million$ and Giants at $3.1 million$ CAP space available. The report says that both the Vikings and Chiefs very much desire to sign Desmond Bishop to a one (1) years contract.

Hope he signs somewhere other than the Vikings. I'm tired of former Packers going there.

Bring the Vikes your poor, your injured, your aging masses of former Packers.

I don't want him in the NFCN. I certainly don't want him joining Greg Jennings in Minny. That destination redefines the term 'Old Home' and Packers - Viking relations.

The Vikings have Greg Jennings and having Desmond Bishop might be a real grab in terms of them picking his brain or how does Dom Capers try to run our 'D'.

I don't want to possibly have to face him 2x this season. Him all jacked up to play smash mouth on Aaron Rodgers. Desmond Bishop will be very determined I expect. He'll have 'a giant sized' chip on his shoulder.

PACKERS !

Are we perhaps over romaticising Bishop a bit too much? When he first was injured and Francois came in the d played better (at least for the reminder of that game). Also if he is an impact player that we are missing then the injury threat must be huge, or if the injury threat isn't that bad then maybe he's not much different than Jones or hawk.

Woody, I think rand is implying that he wants you to be a lover (perhaps his...)

Not that there's anything wrong with that

Green Bay Packers Options Without Desmond Bishop

June 21st, 2013 at 12:24 PM ... By Sean Tehan

" Bishop didn’t become a full-time defensive starter for the Packers until 2010, after starter Nick Barnett was lost to a season-ending wrist injury four weeks into the season. In his final two years as a Packer starter, Bishop recorded 218 tackles and eight sacks, and became quite the defensive leader for the Packer defense, including making some key plays in the Packers' Super Bowl run (at Philadelphia, Wild Card Round, video above).

In four postseason games during the Packers Super Bowl XLV run, Bishop recorded 26 total tackles, one sack, recovered two fumbles, and forced one fumble. Bishop wasn’t an NFL superstar linebacker, but he was the kind of role player perfect for the Packer defense. Bishop brought great energy, intelligence, and an attitude to the defense. So who will replace Bishop? " Fr. LINK above

PACKERS !

I'd love it if Minny picked up Bishop. Immagine the snit EJ Henderson would have. I'm not afraid of him giving away any trade secrets. Everyone knows what we try to do to minnesota. Stop Adrian Peterson. If he ends up lining up outside, that's all the better. He was not a great cover LB.

i think everyone of us can now say to M3's face that he is a lying sack of fat shit when he starts talking about how the packers are gonna get bigger and tougher

i don't know if we have a single badass tough guy left on the defensive roster

[Bretsky]

I don't know if that's fair to Hawk. He's not that great but he's not a finesse guy. Hawk might wrap up rather than aim to bruise but he plays strong and stout. Definitely doesn't hesitate to get his nose in and if we're being honest with ourselves he's the toughest sob on the team.

This brings me to react on like one of Cris Carters "COME ON MAN" plays.....

Hawk scares nobody; I don't remember any Wayne Simmons like blows...aka...difference making hits in games. He seemed to have some in college but his talents just have not transferred like many of us (me at front of the list) thought they would.

The two best guys on NFL Network...Pat Kirwin is the lead guy.....who watch these games constantly...in interviewing Bishop Friday told him hands down he was the best ILB on the Packers team two years ago on gameday and tried asking a couple probing questins.

For what it's worth Bishop handled the entire interview first class.

I don't think he has said that. He has been fighting back on that narrative.
