http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/teams/green_bay_packers/53 Recent articles about Green Bay Packers en-us Cornerback Davon House was selected in the fourth round, with the 131st pick, of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers who took him with a compensatory pick. At 6’1, 195 House is considered to be a "big physical corner," who "delivers a good press at the line to reroute receivers." House’s ability to read the quarterback's eyes and anticipate routes while playing with a "mean streak" has him in the running for a starting cornerback or nickel position. In nine games, House finished with 26 tackles and five pass break-ups. A shoulder injury hampered him in 2012, affecting his ability to tackle and forced him to wear a harness that limited his upper body motion. However, House says he will be ready for training camp and the ability to challenge for a starting position. “To me, if you think I did good last year then you have a whole other thing coming," House said, via Tyler Dunne of JSOline. "I won’t have this harness on so ...

I love being under the radar. For sure, we’re a contender. For sure. I mean, we’re going to put ourselves in position to win a lot of games. Our goal is to win our division and get to the playoffs. And anything can happen. And then hopefully we can take care of business like we did in 2010 when we get back there. The NFL didn’t do us any favors with the schedule, but we don’t need them to. While the Packers are flying under the radar more than usual, they’re still one of the top teams in the NFL.  Their offense is too explosive for teams to take them lightly.   Need NFL Tickets?

The Packers are no longer one of the trendy NFC teams: Those teams reside in the NFC West. “I love it. I love being under the radar,” Rodgers told Jason Wilde of ESPNMilwaukee.com recently. “For sure, we’re a contender. For sure. I mean, we’re going to put ourselves in position to win a lot of games. Our goal is to win our division and get to the playoffs. And anything can happen. And then hopefully we can take care of business like we did in 2010 when we get back there. “The NFL didn’t do us any favors with the schedule, but we don’t need them to.” Rodgers is right that the schedule doesn’t look easy with out of division games against the NFC East and AFC North. (Although it’s worth noting the schedule is essentially determined years ahead of time. There’s no room for favors.) The Packers will still surprise many people this year, because Rodgers is a top 3 quarterback in the NFL.

Thus, the Packers made their decision. With two other starting caliber linebackers in A.J. Hawk and Brad Jones, Green Bay simply didn’t feel comfortable investing almost $4 million in a player coming off a serious hamstring injury when it has two healthy alternatives readily available on the roster. Certainly the Packers will miss Bishop. They will miss the physical presence he brings to the field, as well as his ability to rush the passer on both inside and outside blitzes. But truth be told, the Packers couldn’t be sure they would ever get the same old Bishop back. The Bishop that posted 115 tackles and five sacks in 2011 may never be seen again, the freak injury in a preseason game in San Diego last August ...

There is one exception of course and that’s the quarterback; while Ted Thompson probably believes he can replace just about every player on his roster with someone younger who can be equally talented (and overall he’s been right), even T...

The former 2007 sixth-round selection out of California was expected to remain in green and gold for at least another year and considered himself a major candidate for the Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) award last month, despite missing the entire 2012 season with an injury.

An hour before the official announcement, Bishop leaked the move on his Twitter account: “So much fun, so many memories & friendships forged in Green Bay,” Bishop tweeted. “Ups & downs, wins & losses! Even a XLV championship. Forever grateful #Pack” Bishop’s first visit is expected to be with the Vikings, a person with knowledge of his plans told USA TODAY Sports. The person requested anonymity because Bishop did not authorize him to release the information. Bishop was a starter and an impact player in the Packers’ Super Bowl season of 2010 and again in 2011. Over those two seasons, he had eight sacks, four forces fumbles and an interception. But Bishop, who turns 29 next month, missed all of last season with a torn hamstring suffered in the preseason.

Bishop didn’t participate in OTAs as he is still rehabbing the hamstring injury he suffered in the 2012 preseason. He was due $3.464 million from the team in 2013, but there are serious doubts within the organization that he isn't close to being healthy for the preseason.

With the pre-season officially over with, we now turn our attention to the upcoming training camp and preseason.  The big question is:  What will the 2013 Green Bay Packers look like? I’m taking a look at each position and listing who I think are the likely starters, as of today.  Training camp always tends to change that list quite a bit so this is obviously as of today, as it stands, and without having really seen many of these guys play. Quarterback Starter:  Aaron Rodgers Backup: BJ Coleman Bubble: Graham Harrell, Matt Brown Quick hits: Rodgers is the league’s highest-paid player and let’s not forget he’s pretty good at what he does.  No question there and so the biggest debate is whether Coleman can leapfrog Harrell and will the team carry three active quarterbacks?  My thought is that if Coleman wins the backup spot, they will likely cut Harrell.  Illinois State’s Matt Brown could be a good candidate to land on the practice squad, much like...

But in the past five seasons, the Green Bay Packers have fine-tuned their passing game into precision artwork. Potent and depth laden, Green Bay’s aerial attack has amassed over 22,000 yards since 2008. Art or Science? Perhaps a little of both – as even losses to Pro-Bowlers Donald Driver and Greg Jennings haven’t derailed the swagger that the Packer receiving corp imparts heading into the 2013 season.      Not long ago, Jennings and Driver were prime targets for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The duo combined for over 280-receptions and 4, 400 yards in seasons ’08 and ’09.  The pair were ironclad ProBowlers and likely entrants to the Packer Hall-of Fame (‘Titletown’ has already named a street after Driver). This spring, the Pack traded Jennings to Minnesota and roasted Driver’s retirement.      ‘Reload and aim’ has become a buzz phrase for describing teams that can replace lost stars.

Phone calls have been coming in to try to get the Green Bay Packers' all-time leading receiver to continue his career elsewhere, but Driver has refused.Speaking at a press conference before his sixth-annual charity softball game, Driver didn't specify which teams have inquired about him, but he did make it clear that he wasn't interested."I think the thing is, if you have the itch to continue to play, then it doesn't matter who you play for, because that's what you want to do, Driver said. "You just want to play the game. I love the game, but I only love one team. When you love the game, you'll play for anybody. Anybody who offers you something, you're willing to step on the field and play for them."I decided that I love one team. But I do the game.

So even with Green’s future in Green Bay instantly endangered by the addition of a second-round pick (Eddie Lacy) and a fourth-rounder (Johnathan Franklin), he can breathe easy. His body, finally, responds to his brain.   Green Bay isn’t kicking Green to the curb, either. Through the team’s organized team activities and minicamp practices open to the media, the 2011 third-round pick started and finished as the No. 1 back. Even though Green didn’t have a very good season in 2012 after coming off of ACL surgery, the Packers clearly believe in him and are willing to give a chance to prove himself.     Need NFL Tickets?

But the guy has been tremendous, great move on their part.” Favre says he got along just fine with Rodgers in Green Bay. “There were no problems between Aaron and I,” Favre said. “I had no problem with him becoming the next quarterback for the Packers. It was bound to happen at some point. I have no problems with the success that he’s had. In fact, I’m proud of him.” We obviously don’t know how longer Rodgers’ career will last, but he does have a chance at overtaking Favre’s records. Need NFL Tickets?

You can write that down.” That’s what Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy decreed in regards to the running game during a press conference on Tuesday. Whether the offense is successful in carrying out this objective is yet to be seen. Nevertheless, the commitment is being made, and it’s clear the Packers offense will have a different identity than it did in 2012. We’ve seen a number of major changes occur so far in this offseason. First and foremost, the wide receiver corps will look significantly different with Greg Jennings out of the line-up. Fans can say what they will about his injury history, but his performance history speaks volumes. Not having him on the field isn’t insurmountable – they’ve handled things without him already – but it will change the nature of the offense. Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, and James Jones will now be the primary nucleus of the wide receivers. Next, the Packers have two new ground weapons courtesy of Ted Thom...
