I was up in Green Bay today watching practice. The linebackers were right in front of me. Kampmann seemed to be doing fine. Kevin Greene was working with his group and had them doing drills to recover fumbles. It was fun to watch the guys and soon practice will be closed to the public.

That’s a definite on the backup QB. I just don’t think Brohm’s gonna get it. IF TJack gets cut I think he’d be worth a look but Chilly’s a fool if he cuts him. With their OLine Favre ain;t gonna make 16 games..

I just watchced the 2nd half of the Bills game (thank God for DVR & the NFL channel). I then looked at the roster which shows this Underwood (cornerback/Cinncinnatri) kid about the same size as Al Harris as a matter of fact 8 pounds heavier. Maybe it’s these 53 year old eyes but man he looked small. Maybe it’s Harris’ hair. Oh well, doubt he makes the final cut anyway.

First stringers looked pretty awesome on both sides. I’m trying hard to contain my excitement.

Preston was released… so that’s that. What does Seattle have that we need? We need a punter, but we should never trade for one of those. We could really use a solid backup QB! Seattle has Seneca Wallace, but is he a solid backup? I heard Tavaris Jackson might be on the trading block, and he looked stellar last Friday, but I’m not sure TT will be doing any deals with the Viqueens.

I think we’re deep enough at every position on D, except maybe DE (Jolly goes down every season and Harrell is big question mark). I like having depth on our team, so I say keep Wells and rotate him in so our line is always fresh. If we’re going to trade anything, it should be one of our many LB’s. We have plenty and they’re all pretty quality. I know those who frequent this blog are big Poppinga haters, but he’s had a great camp, and has looked very solid in the 3-4 this pre-season. Trade him, not Bishop, not Chillar, and certainly not Matthews. Punting and backup QB… let’s get on it TT!

Yeah and Popinga is the starting ROLB. Barnett bumps chillar down to #2 and Bishop is #2 to AJ. Also Barbre is the starting RT. I worry about Barbre. He was flagged twice for 20 yds. Saturday not too good at run blocking
.
The starting Oline then is , from right to left, Clifton, Colledge, Spitz, Sitton and Barbre. According to MM they will play the entire ist half.

So, I’m in agreement with DaveK, I think there are someways to improve the Oline and, depending on the real status of the injured safties, another guy there couldn’t hurt. There sure are a lot of LB’s on the roster.

New topic suggestion: the Seahawks just lost their starting center for 4-6 weeks. It also appears that MM has named Spitz as the starting center. Time to trade Wells to the Seahawks? I guess it depends how MM + TT feel about Duke Preston and his ability to replace Spitz if he gets hurt or if Spitz needs to slide over to guard. My opinion is to keep Wells as Sitton is far from a sure thing at guard but you have to wonder what Seattle would offer for Wells right now. Wonder what Seattle would give up for Preston? I’d ship Preston out for a 6th rounder at this point.

Another topic suggestion: the coaching staff should have a good idea of how Kampman is going to adjust to the 3-4 and the LB corp looks to have good depth. I honestly haven’t seen enough of Kampman this offseason to make that judgement but if they feel he is struggling to adjust it may be the perfect time to trade him to a 4-3 team. Perfect scenario is we get a proven RT/RG and maybe a draft pick or two. Good 4-3 DE’s are rare and we have one of offer. I am guessing a few teams would be willing to give up quite a bit for him if Kampman is willing to extend his contract with this new team.

Funny how he can laugh about it.

And finally, this from Peter King:

Best team in the first two weeks, to me, looks like Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers is playing as if these games actually matter. The defensive line keeps shutting good players; unsung players, like Johnny Jolly in and out, and they keep making plays.

This also from Peter King:

Quote of the Week III
“I wish he stayed retired. I really do. You know, I love the guy to death but enough is enough. I would love to be in that locker room when he first arrives because there’s clearly going to be players in there that aren’t happy, and it’s not just going to be the two quarterbacks.”
