So, basically, my posting schedule will have you getting sick of me in no time. Just wanted to warn you. Welcome to the first installment of my weekly matchup review articles in 2009. As I said last week, the format of these posts should be familiar to you if you were around last season. If not, the basic idea of this post is to look b...

So Sunday's big game for the fourth-year wideout had been a while in coming. His five-catch, 126-yard outing, which included a 64-yard touchdown, played a huge role in the Packers' 30-24 victory over the 49ers. "It felt good," Jennings said. "Felt ...

I think the O-line gets the brunt of everything. But it’s not always just the O-line. It’s a culmination of everything.”When asked if the receivers are getting open, Jennings said: “We have to ge...

In fact, Clifton didn't do anything. Spitz went through the stretching period and did some work in the...
