Packers' news...

Atari Bigby,Al Harris,and James Starks,failed their initial physicals... Harris is no surprise,will be on unable to play list,and may be missing the opening six games,because of rehabbing his knee... Harris was not hit by a player,last year,when he was injured,against San Francisco... Atari Bigby must have more trouble with his ankle then previously thought... like i said,that may be the one major trouble spot that the Packers have,excluding the offensive line,but the Packers will be better... James Starks just did not come into camp in playing shape... before you say the Packers are in trouble:keep in mind,it is the first day of training camp,so let them get in condition,and be a fan of the Green Bay Packers... GO PACKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Packers' news...

offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga's contract was for 5 years/$14.75 million,with $8.76 million,guaranteed....

Packers' news...

the Green Bay Packers sign offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga to a 5 year deal... out of Iowa,he was first round pick,in 2010...

commentary...

the Green Bay Packers will fight Minnesota for the division this year;offense is one of the best in NFL... there is a big question about offensive line,age and injuries,and if Packers can avoid major injuries to offensive line,they will be very good offensively... on defense,they have questions in defensive backfield... Al Harris will be out for the first six games,recovering from knee surgery,and injury,sustained against San Francisco,last year,i believe... the rookies on the team will be tested early,and often... Johnny Jolly is suspended for the 2010 season,and beyond,if CBA talks break down,and strike happens next year,so defensive line will be makeshift,early,but will be better,as season goes on... the Packers have to be better inside the 20,and special teams have to be better than last year,in which they were pathetic last year... Mason Crosby has to improve,like he was in 2008,and longer in distance on field goals... one thing good for the Packers:they have a very good schedule,to work on,and play this year... they will score a lot of points... Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in football,and Ryan Grant has to improve on his inside running,and return to 2008 form,which i believe that he will,and the receiving corps has to improve inside the 20,by catching the tough passes... no arguments with Donald Driver,but everyone else has to pick up their game inside the 20,and offensive line has to keep Rodgers upright in the pocket,and not allow so many penalties,and/or sacks... the Packers are a true playoff team,and with the right breaks,they would be in the fight for the Super Bowl berth in the NFC... can the Packers win NFC North,this year? yes,but Minnesota,i hate to admit,is early favorite,if Favre comes back,and i am convinced that he is coming back... if defense improves,and offensive line improves,the Packers will be tough to beat this season...

commentary...

first of all,i admire Brett Favre,as a player... i will admit that,right off... a Hall of Fame career,on the field,no doubt... numbers do not lie,at all... however,the way that he treated the Packers' fans,when he left Green Bay,for New York,and then Minnesota leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth,because he acted like a spoiled brat,and did badmouth the fans,with his arrogant smirk,and basically told the city,the team,and the fans,of the Packers,that he did not care about the city,the team,or the fans at all... it has always been about him all along... the fans in Green Bay loved him,and he basically crapped on the fans,by acting like the fans,in New York,and then Minnesota,were the best fans in the NFL,by carrying on,like he loved Green Bay,and then New York,but by the end of his time in Green Bay,and New York,he acted like he did not want to be in either place,and his play on the field showed it,and his arrogance off the field showed his contempt for the fans... watch out,if Brett does not get back to the Super Bowl this year,he will pout,and act like he simply does not care about anything... i feel sorry for the fans of the Vikings,because his true arrogance will come out,and he will act like a spoiled brat... as a fan of football,and the Packers,we(as a corporate entity) deserve better treatment,from a Hall of Fame player,who we cheered for sixteen years,but will we get it? i simply doubt it... maybe at his Hall of Fame induction,but again who knows and,finally,who cares?...
