    Granted, he did have a monster rookie year, but I think was just as good the next few years in TB as later in GB. He was getting a lot of sacks in TB, about the same as what he later had with the Packers (5/year or so), but for some reason wasn't a consistent stater in TB.
    yeah, i remember santana being a pretty big "get" at the time, i was younger, but i don't remember thinking we just signed some no talent stiff when we got him

    • I'm sure it helped his career that he came over to Green Bay and played with the likes of Reggie White, Sean Jones, Gilbert Brown and had Fritz Shurmur as his DC.

      As for Raji, why should we expect any different performance that what we've been getting? Can he play 5 technique in a 3-4 and set the edge? Can he hold the point as a NT? Is he worth another shot, or would he be better served taking his talents elsewhere? Of course it could be Capers fault. Wistful thinking!

          He was known to have talent, but his career was clearly in decline for some reason. His sack and tackle numbers in 1995 were half what they had been in 1992. I see some parallels between Dotson's and Raji's situations. Both declining when they should have been in the prime of their careers. Because of that, if they can get Raji to sign for the money they've been talking about, I think it's a risk worth taking. The risk/reward ratio is pretty good for the Packers.

          • Reggie White could just get other players to elevate their games. Except for Gabe Wilkins, of course.

              I wonder what Reggie could have done with Ol' Cleedeeus.

                santana didn't flat out quit on the bucs before he came to us though, did he?

                  thats a good point, the gravedigger was a cast off from the queens before he came here too

                  its amazing what real team leaders can do

                    I don't know. Do you? I know they weren't very happy with him, but I don't know what the exact issues were.

                      nope, thats why i asked. hence the question mark

                      he rebounded though with another team

                      i think IF, raji were to rebound his career, it needs to be somewhere else. as a packer fan i will not tolerate a player quitting, or giving half assed effort on the field. we needed him this year, and he mailed it in

                      • Jermichael Finley and the Seattle Seahawks have mutual interest in bringing the talented tight end to the Super Bowl champions. All the Seahawks might need is medical clearance.


                        Looks like hes going to join the Hawks...peace Finley! Now use that money on a damn defensive player!

                          Pete Carrol sent him to the team trainer for an injection in his neck. Suddenly Finley is healed (and having his brother pee in a cup for him).

                            when and IF he gets medical clearance, which was suppose to come any day now for the last few weeks

                            the same clearance collins couldn't get for the exact same injury and surgery

                              Serious question: no way does he get football clearance before the season. So when would they sign him?
                              Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
