The Hole in the Cheese

[Zool]

Hundley is cheap to keep, but it appears the only reason he's still on the roster is b/c the Packers would rather trade him than cut him. Besides, a conditional 7th is nothing.

There's no reason to cut him right now. Everyone carries 4 QBs into camp. A 7th rounder is worth more than Hundley's play of last year off potential alone.

In 1983, over a 6 week period of time, I lost my Father, my Grandfather and my dear Aunt Bessie. During that same time I had just started a new job with the Federal Government. I had not had time yet to accrue any leave time to fall back on. Following the first death, they were lenient with me and allowed me to take leave without pay. The same with the second death, but I was asked to provide some proof that my Grandfather had died. I provided a copy of his obituary along with the newspaper it was printed in. With the third death, they had the Navel Investigative Service to verify the death before I was allowed the day to attend the funeral. Following each funeral, I was back to work the very next day.

Compassion is what people want for themselves, not others. Yet most of us are willing to allow each their portion of due consideration. Cole Madison has known for months that he was expected to be on time for TC and that he would have much to learn in a very short period of time. He does not have a position on the Packers locked up and will have to get beyond his "personal matter" as quickly as he can.

So the Federal Government somehow saw its way to clearing you for three days off without accruing sick time but Cole Madison needs to get his butt to camp.

I think you need to revisit this statement again and reflect:

They should look at Hundley on Special Teams. After all they lost All pro receiver and ST demon Janis in the off-season.

Those three days were not consecutive and not sick time, but personal time. Like Cole Madison, the timing could not be worse. He does need to pull it together and report to TC ASAP.

I'm most concerned with the RG and RT positions on the Offensive Line. Pushing Bulaga to return off of a serious ACL injury too fast is/could be a major mistake. Let him heal and rehab at a normal pace. Rushing the man could lead to further serious medical delays. Also, this could be a blessing in disguise that might just allow others to elevate their play in front of the Coaches.

One of the Fackrell/Biegel/Gilbert triumverate has to make like Mao and make the Great Leap Forward, or it will be a long year for the defense.

I pity the striving, petty bourgeoisie linebackers. Only true believers will survive the new scheme.

Year Zero! (wait, wrong communist dictator..)

don't get between Radagast and his entertainment...

No doubt in my mind that the hole in the Cheese for the Packers is the rookie secondary.

The team will have to rely heavily upon rookie cornerbacks Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson, this year’s first- and second-round picks, respectively. Both players will be asked to fill significant roles this season — especially Alexander, who could start at the nickel spot immediately — and how early they contribute might be critical for this year’s defense as a whole.

I salute you Sir. Few else are able to rise above the sophomoric humor to post a clear, precise, and efficient case. I agree with your assessment and now must add the MLB position to the center stage as well. Injuries have befallen some of GB's LB's and may require younger players to step up their play. Let us hope that it is a blessing in disguise.

Don't worry - they have Rollins and the Rookie to play ILB in the dime. Remember, nickel is base, and Packers will be running a lot of dime.

BTW, I resent the sophomoric jab - I am a rising Junior.

[Radagast]

With Jake Ryan's injury, I'm very interested in just who will step up to fill his spot in the 3-4 defense. That said, I've read that the 4-3 defense may be returning and place more pressure on the Defense to be more versatile. Will Martinez be the key to success with both schemes?

[Fritz]

No doubt Martinez will be an important piece. However, I think Ryan had about maxed out - he was just limited, athletically - so I am not as concerned with his absence as I am with Brice's at the safety spot.

[texaspackerbacker]

With all the articles I've read about the Ryan injury, I saw no mention of Clay Matthews playing ILB. That to me would be the obvious solution.

Let Burks learn the job as a backup at OLB - where IMO he is better suited anyway and where we have a lot better depth.

[Radagast]

I would very much like to read about just what/who are/are not doing well at the Right Offensive Guard and Right Offensive Tackle positions.
