TJ Lang
1) Introduction: We really should call T.J. Lang by “T.V.”, because his middle name is versatility. Over his first two seasons, Lang played both tackle spots, left guard and even some defensive line in short yardage situations. Even after winning the starting left guard spot this season, Lang was moved around and filled in whenever injuries dictated. Unlike Daryn Colledge, who complained about being used in the same way, Lang seems to have handled it just fine and is no worse for wear.

3) Expectations coming into the season: Lang was being counted on as the primary candidate to start at left guard, taking the spot vacated by the departed free agent Daryn Colledge. Frankly, his job was only to be at least as good as Colledge was. He was also expected to continue his role as an emergency replacement at every OL position except center.

Green Bay Packers May Not Franchise Tag Jermichael Finley
The Green Bay Packers may not slap tight end Jermichael Finley with the franchise tag by Monday, according to multiple sources. While the talent is clearly there, the drops are always going to be in the back of the minds of the Packers’ personnel decision makers.
If the Packers were to franchise Finley, he would be paid $5.5 million for the 2012 NFL season, which is...
Could Packers Trade Up in 2012 NFL Draft to Pick a Pass Rusher?
Packers GM Ted Thompson traded back into the first round to take Clay Matthews in 2009.
The day was April 25, the Saturday of the 2009 NFL draft, and Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson had a franchise-altering decision staring him in the face.
As he sat in the Packers’ war room, having already acquired nose tackle B.J. Raji from Boston College with the ninth overall...
If I Ran The Green Bay Packers...
It was a tale of two seasons for the Green Bay Packers. The regular season; an offensive juggernaut led by Aaron Rodgers that willfully and sometimes easily racked up points on any opposing defense (except the Kansas City Chiefs). A defense, that despite giving up gobs of yards, unable to pressure the quarterback, or tackle properly at times, was able to create huge turnovers and...
Raiders Sign Ex-Packers CB Brandon Underwood
The Raiders signed former Packers CB Brandon Underwood on Thursday, the team announced. Underwood did not play in 2011 and has had run-ins with the law. He was fined $379 after pleading no contest to a charge of prostitution and non-marital sexual intercourse from an incident at a golf tournament in June 2010. Last year, he was charged with domestic disorderly conduct following the...
Don’t expect any deals soon in Green Bay
The Packers have a number of intriguing free agents: Jermichael Finley, Scott Wells, Matt Flynn, and Jarrett Bush. Flynn figures to fly the coop, but the Packers will try to retain the other three. Finley looks like a strong candidate to get the franchise tag. Packers fans want to know how possible contract talks are…
Packers QB Matt Flynn Eager For Free Agency, Chance To Start
Assuming that Peyton Manning isn't in line for some Mr. Miyagi-style healing in the coming weeks, conventional wisdom is that Packers backup Matt Flynn will be the most sought after quarterback in free agency. Free agency doesn't begin until March 13 and unless the Packers decide to re-sign Flynn before then, there's not much he can do. "I'm a confident person...
Raiders Signed Contract with CB Brandon Underwood
It didn’t take very long for new Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie to go back to his old roots in search of talent.
Thursday evening the Raiders announced the signing of former Green Bay Packers cornerback Brandon Underwood.
Underwood is nothing to really brag about and he does come with some off the field issues. He was a sixth round draft pick in 2009 from Cincinnati...
Anthony Shadid was a Packers fan to the end
The journalism world is mourning Anthony Shadid, the Pulitzer Prize-winning foreign correspondent who died in Syria Thursday of an apparent asthma attack at the age of 43.
