REALLY WYCHE?

Recently Steve Wyche, a senior writer for NFL.com, has been missing big with some of his Packer analysis.

First, he thinks Michael Boley the UFA linebacker from the Falcons will be a free agent target for the Packers. How? Boley is 6-foot-3 but he only weighs 223 pounds. Weight is often an issue in the 3-4 defense and Boley is about 20 pounds too light to play inside linebacker and is 30 to 40 pounds too light to play outside linebacker. So really?

Second, Wyche has Brian Cushing going to the Green Bay Packers with the ninth pick. Not going to happen. Cushing is no doubt a great football player and physical specimen but he is not the best value on the board at the ninth spot. The Packers will also be targeting a cornerback at that spot or possibly a left tackle if one of the top players falls. I will say that I wouldn't mind have Cushing in a Packer uniform.

THANK GOD!!!

It cost me about $70 to attend a Packers game -- a preason game that is. So it is nice to hear that they will not be raising ticket prices. (More...)

TO THE TED THOMPSON HATERS

I have kicked around the idea of writing about my love for Ted Thompson and the hate that I have toward the short-sided fans who would rather see him fired than continue on. And I will eventually get around to that, but for now, here is a column written by Mike Vandermause. It says what I want to say but with less anger. (More...)
