General Manager Ted Thompson and Head Coach Mike McCarthy have long espoused the philosophy that the most improvement a football team makes from one year to the next comes from within ... For the 2010 Packers, that applies to multiple areas: the offensive line, which with largely the same personnel will be expected to dramatically reduce the 51 sacks allowed a year ago, and the secondary, where young cornerbacks like Brandon Underwood and Pat Lee will be charged with providing the depth that was

Great article from Mike Vandermause in the Press Gazette a couple days ago ... his conclusion is that we are a better team NOW than we were when Thompson took over ... He compared the work that Thompson has done since taking over the reigns from Sherman as GM. He doesn't really spend too much time talking about cap condition or things of that nature which is a little bit of a shortfall of his writing. I didn't find too many that I would argue about though ... I might have called Favre/Rodgers

I've always been a fan of former Green Bay Packer safety Matt Bowen, who's just wrote a good article on where another former Packer safety, Darren Sharper, might land. And why Taylor Mays slipped in the draft. I also got to ask him a couple questions about how the Packers did in the 2010 NFL draft.  ... APC: You wrote that the selection of Bryan Bulaga was a standout move. On one hand I can believe that he slid out of the top 10 because the teams in front of the Packers either didn't need an

The Green Bay Packers selected Iowa OT Bryan Bulaga with their 1st round pick. From NFL.com: ... Bulaga is a good, not a great, talent as a left tackle. Like most Iowa linemen he will come into the league with a good understanding of the game as well as the position he plays. He understands angles and blocking schemes and is quick to recognize and adjust to games up front. He is quick to set the edge and knows how to get a good fit with his hands but will struggle when speed rushers transfer
