You've inspired me...

HA!


THAT's Where I saw the damn thing.........I better edit that out.......his was better than my half assed quote anyway!

Ok folks,

You guys are my lifeline for this game! I'm overseas at the moment, and behind one mother of a firewall, so you guys and sportsline gamecenter are my only link!

Deshawn Wynn gets first 100 yard game.

Wynn is a wuss

Tonight's the night, Wynn's coming-out party in the NFL. I WILL be gloating and rubbing it in.

I would prefer if they kept Ruvell in than put in Koren. I like Ruvell, he can be a playmaker. We need to use him more often. Then again, if Favre doesn't throw to him, i regress, and we might as well have a kickoff returner with some sting in there. I keep thinking that Williams is gonna break one, but he just goes down to easy, he has the speed, quickness, and vision, he's just easy to tackle.

At least he doesn't fumble. Knock on wood.

Join the Ruvell Martin worship club. We may not have a lot of members, but we're growing at a rate of 1 poster per month.

I think it's more like one per year

Ruvell has had plenty of time to step up his game to earn more playing time

Either the coaches are incompetent at judging him or he hasn't earned more chances.

Seeing how they are so antsy to get Koren into the mix.....well.....there is their answer.

Love this kid. I've seen him at a couple charity events, too. Very nice guy.

Interesting snip from ESPN on the Packers draft "keeper" rate
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Packers have nine players on their roster who were drafted by teams other than Green Bay. That's a low number by league standards. The Broncos have 19 players drafted by teams other than Denver. The league average is 14.8, so we can see right off that these teams have approached things from different angles.

Both teams have four cornerbacks drafted by other teams. That's a high number for Green Bay, but as noted previously, the Packers value cover corners more than some teams. We should also note that neither franchise has been willing to shell out $7 million per year for a guard, as Buffalo, Minnesota, Dallas and Cleveland have done.

The Packers ran the other way early in Thompson's tenure, letting both veteran starting guards leave. Green Bay is the only team in the NFL to draft all five of its current starting offensive linemen. The Broncos picked up free-agent guard Cooper Carlisle off the discount rack.

What's the Wynn talk, isn't Jackson playing?

[Bretsky]

Good Stuff BH

Interesting that the Green Bay Packers are the ONLY team in the NFL to have drafted all five of its offensive lineman

Would have never imagined that to be fact

What's the Wynn talk, isn't Jackson playing?

Jackson seems to stink as of late; read the other day that he might actually be on the game day inactive list dressed in street clothes on the sideline like Justin Harrell was the first few games.

Well, although that really sucks for a team's high draft choice, I will quote the great Charles Barkley:

Winning is a great deodorent

ESPN REPORTS - Travis Henry WILL NOT PLAY tonight. Good news for the Pack.

[4and12to12and4]

Thanks for the tip, excellent news.

I don't think that will have that big of an impact actually. If Bailey misses the game then I'd be worried as a Bronco fan.
