Should Have Seen This Coming...We Just Chose Not To

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:19:00 -0500

I'm in shock after yesterday's loss to the Buccaneers. The previously winless Buccaneers, who couldn't score more than 21 points in a game prior to facing the Packers. The Bucs who turned to a rookie quarterback to make his first start. I'm shocked.But not surprised.I'm disappointed. I saw the Packers squander opportunity after opportunity. I saw our best players look like they didn't know how to counter the efforts of a desperate team making desperate plays. I saw an ...

The Packers defense needs to shut their mouth and go play football

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:50:30 -0500

Rarely do I ever step out of the Green Bay Packers’ corner, but for the life of me I can not figure out why three well-respected defensive players are freaking out. Charles Woodson, Cullen Jenkins, and Aaron Kampman have all expressed displeasure with the 3-4 defense and feel “handcuffed” by it. I realize it can be [...]

The All Mickey Andrews Team Is Terrifying

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:26:04 -0500

Longtime Florida State defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews long ago went from resplendent genius to a guy the internet wants to see beheaded, and the internet is getting its wish this year. Andrews will not return to FSU next year in the aftermath of a disastrous season that confirms what FSU fans have know for a while know: Andrews has checked out. But when Andrews was good, he was terrifying. In memoriam, an All Mickey Andrews defense: DE Andre Wadsworth - Wadsworth was actually draf...

These days, the ring is the thing for Woodson

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 22:44:05 -0500

Betrayal? Animosity? Revenge? No, those reasons ring hollow for Charles Woodson, a teammate of Brett Favre's for two seasons, including one in which they made it all the way to the NFC Championship. This game is important because Favre is the next quarterback standing in the way of Woodson's mission to win a Super Bowl.

Your NFL Game Of The Week: Vikings vs Packers

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:19:00 -0500

Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers, Sunday 4:15 p.m. Did you expect any other game to be the GOTW besides this one? In what may be the most anticipated regular season game since the Pats went for perfection against the Giants in the final game of the regular season two years ago, the Vikings, Packers rivalry will reach an all time high as Brett Favre returns to Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon. The Vikings upset me last week causing my four week streak of correct picks to come ...

The Browns Aftermath: Did We Gain Enough?

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:19:00 -0500

The Packers should be feeling like world beaters right now. After all, not only are they 4-2 and a mere half-game out of first place in the division, they've thumped their last two opponents by a combined 57-3. The running game has been more of a factor, with Ryan Grant gaining 238 yards in those games. Aaron Rodgers has been flawless, the defense has made big plays, and even Mason Crosby has only missed one 55-yard field goal.Yes, the momentum should be sweeping into Lambeau next week. R...

Woodson says things fine with Capers

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:10:00 -0500

Charles Woodson didn’t express major regret about his public criticism of defensive coordinator Dom Capers’ play calling after the Packers’ loss at Minnesota but said he and Capers have discussed the issue and remain on good terms.After the Packers’ loss at Minnesota in their last game, Woodson questioned why they didn’t use more of the blitzes they’d practiced in their game plan through the week.

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 10:16:18 -0500

Visits Michigan for the “premiere” of the feature today. Charles Woodson and Desmond Howard are planned guests on the set. This entire deal seems to be little more than an attempt by ESPN to get their show shouted out on school-specific sites from every state, but there’s definitely some potential for it to be cool.
