Ranking The Rookies: Mike Daniels
Undersized fourth-round draft pick made some big plays for the Packers in 2012
The Green Bay Packers began the season with 10 rookies on the 53-man roster. That’s a pretty high number – especially for a team than won 15 games the previous year. But GM Ted Thompson didn’t hang on to all those rookies to save money or to make himself look good. He kept them because they could...
2013 Packers Position Group Analysis: Defensive Line
Next up in the AllGreenBayPackers.com’s positional group analysis is the defensive line, who while showed some improvement from their disastrous 2011 season was still probably the reason behind their playoff collapse this year.

Packers Mike Daniels: 2012 Player Evaluation and Report Card
1) Introduction: The selection of Mike Daniels in last year’s draft was a little baffling; where was he exactly supposed to play? He wasn’t tall enough to play defensive end or outside linebacker, and wasn’t big enough to play nose tackle. In the end, Daniels became a defensive end with a pass rushing specialty where his quickness and relatively smaller size allowed him...
Larry the Cable Guy Tailgates at Lambeau Field Prior to Lions-Packers Game: Video
We here at The Detroit Sports Site mentioned a few weeks back how we had partnered with Prilosec OTC Wildberry for the month of December.

Prior to that game, Larry the Cable Guy tailgated...

Packers rely on fresh faces amid slew of injuries
(Eds: Adds quotes, details. With AP Photos.) The kids really are all right.
The Green Bay Packers' defense is relying on many fresh-faced rookies this season, both by design and because of injuries, and so far they're delivering - and forming a close bond in the process.
''When you're a rookie class, you tend to spend a lot of time together - you've got...

Green Bay Packers: Mike Daniels and the Legacy of Number 76
Amid all the Packer training camp hoopla the big number 76 in the photo on the Post Crescent sports page caught my attention last month before the Family Night hoopla struck, served with coffee and a smile in the friendly confines of Old Glory Cafe, bastion of patriotism in beautiful downtown Kimberly.
I remembered: Mike McCoy. Big Ol’ 76. Tough son of an Irishman. ‘70...
2012 Green Bay Packers: Defense Is Key
There are three keys for the Green Bay Packers in 2012, defense, defense, and defense.
Defense was on the mind of the Green Bay Packers and their fans during the 2011 season and after. The offense put up the second most points in league history while the defense gave up the most yards in the league.
Green Bay finished second in the league with a +24 turnover differential, which...
Keeping Perspective While Following the Latest From Packers Training Camp
Packers D-lineman Mike Daniels
Remember my post yesterday about three players raising eyebrows at Packers training camp?
Well, those players might already be yesterday’s news. The new eyebrow-raiser at camp is Mike Daniels.
Mike Daniels
Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press Gazette says Daniels has gotten plenty of snaps, especially in Dom Capers’ dime package. Like they do in...
Durability The Question With Daniels
While it’s probably unfair to compare Mike Daniels to Mike Neal, that won’t stop some fans from making the analogy after the rookie from Iowa left Tuesday’s practice with a groin and/or knee injury. Neal has played in only 10 games since joining the Packers in 2010. Daniels, whose durability was questioned by scouts prior [...]
Rookie Duo Stands Out Along Defensive LIne
After Friday’s practice, Jerel Worthy’s praises were being sung. After Saturday’s practice, Mike Daniels got some attention. Head coach Mike McCarthy likes what he sees thus far in two rookies in an effort to put some “juice” back in the Packers' defensive line.
Packers PUP List Could Be Crowded
The 2012 Green Bay Packers hit the practice field for the first time on Thursday, and there could be quite a few players watching from the sideline. Running backs Alex Green and John Kuhn, tight end Andrew Quarless, offensive linemen Derek Sherrod and Jaymes Brooks, defensive linemen Mike Daniels and Johnny Jones, linebacker Frank Zombo [...]

So, now is the time to get to the war room and start planning your fantasy team draft.

Green Bay Packers Taking Shotgun Approach to Improving the Defensive Line
Veteran free agent DE Phillip Merling became the twelfth defensive lineman on the Packers' offseason roster.
Call it the “shotgun approach.” Ted Thompson added his twelfth defensive lineman to the roster on Wednesday with his signing of DE Phillip Merling, who spent the last four years with the Miami Dolphins. Of the four (non-Packer) veteran free agent signings by Thompson...
Packers rookie DT Daniels not taking any risks
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Mike Daniels remembers his pre-draft interview with the Packers quite well. After all, it was his only pre-draft interview.
Unable to participate in any of the testing at the combine due to shoulder surgery, Daniels was far from a hot commodity as the draft was approaching. So, when Daniels' phone began ringing late in the fourth round, it made sense when...
