Check it out Ron–TT does seem awfully set in his ways

The Packers are a closed organization and. as a result, are less susceptible to rumors flying around the halls. That said, I feel the same aprehension you seem to have. I have ZERO faith in TT. He is as inflexible as anyone I have ever been exposed to. Once he has decided on a direction no one can change it. My fear is that he believes he is a personnel selection genius and he will stay with his ussual FA approach, That is, he waits till everyone else has signed the impact players and pick up a leftover or two. And hope he can duplicate his luck with the signing of Woodson and Pickett.

The only pressure to go into the FA market that may have an impact will be from the Exec. Committee of the Board. Murphy is not a leader in the organization, he is an errand boy.

Jets looking at Lewis? Apparently, being $12 mil over the cap isn’t slowing them down any.

Continuity is a good thing as long as you are continuously improving (just ask Matt Millen). The thinking in N Carolina is Cowher will be the next Panthers coach. He just built a big house in Raleigh & if the Panthers do not make the Super Bowl next year (or at least get to the NFC Championship game and lose close) John Fox is gone.

Going from a 4-3 to a 3-4 should not be a huge issue. These guys are professional football players (or are supposed to be). They have Capers & K Greene there to show them how it gets done. They all should be studying the 3-4 at this moment because they know it’s coming. They will need to use their brains as well as their muscles.

Finally, I’m glad we made some changes at strength & conditioning coaches. Maybe we can avoid some of those nagging knee/hamstring/pulled back issues. I’ll never understand why they stopped wearing knee pads.

Competition is always a good thing. It will help any player motivate them self to improve their play. So, that should only help Crosby out, or find a better kicker. It is a win win for the Packers.

I don’t want a situation like the Redskins bringing in a new coach every other year. A little continuity is a good thing.

Bill Cohwer will not coach in Green Bay.

I also think that T.T. and M.M. are a package deal. Thompson isn’t going to get another chance to hire another coach. The only upside to T.T. failing again this year is that Bill Cohwer may want the opportunity to coach again and Green Bay may be a really good fit. Storied franchise. The chance to bring along some of his mangement team and our defensive coaching staff seems to be Pittsburgh East.

Pressure to win now is becoming obvious.
