Receiver Greg Jennings caught only four touchdown passes last season, but look for that to number to go back up this year with the presence of tight end Jermichael Finley for a full season ...
As well as tight end Jermichael Finley was playing the role of Donald Driver and Greg Jennings last year, he's not going to get his wish to play standing up all the time. Not in coach Mike McCarthy's offense, anyway ...

The Family Night Scrimmage is coming up on Saturday. ... - Injuries were one of the major topics. It was announced that SS Atari Bigby will have surgery on Friday to clean out scar tissue around his surgically repaired ankle. He could be back before the regular season begins. Also, S Will Blackmon had problems with his surgically
I had the opportunity to interview Bill Barnwell of Football Outsiders about his chapter in their 2010 Football Outsiders Almanac (now available through Amazon.com) about the Green Bay Packers. Yes, this is in part a plug for their book, but I've been reading it every year they've ever published it, and I've never read a better primer for the football season. ... I'll post Part 2 of 2 later today ... Acme Packing Company: Mike McCarthy has mentioned the need to improve the red zone
Greg Jennings seemingly had trouble focusing at the beginning of the 2009 season. That is troubling after he just signed a contract extension - but the time is now for Jennings to refocus and make things right, ...
After the jump is my ridiculously early look at the Green Bay Packers projected 53-man roster. I expect I'm wrong, wrong, wrong, so I'd love to hear what you think about it. Here's the thinking that went into it: ... I ignored injury risk or rehab as a factor. So guys coming back from major surgery (CB Al Harris, WR Brett Swain) or who missed the entire 2009 season (CB Pat Lee, DE Justin Harrell) make the May roster ... The power of incumbency. CB Jarrett Bush and RT Allen Barbre were awful in
Evidently ... http://www.packers.com/news/stories/2010/05/04/1/ ... According to packers.com, Greg Jennings will be having a cameo role on CBS's "Criminal Minds". My own thoughts were that this is the right passage to fame. Many NFL pro's end up in the media for negative reasons (guns, drugs, oawi's, motorcycle accident's ET AL.) It is nice to see a positive NFL image in this day and age and especially from a Green Bay Packer. So, although I don't get to enjoy
Check this out from Youtube. Jennings had a brief cameo on the show Criminal Minds. My unofficial review: he seems to have more acting presence than the other actors on that show. Not sure what that says really but having seen his Fox 6 Milwaukee segment where he interviews other athletes (like Shaq) a few [ ... ] ...
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
The last few days I have seen lots of reports on the draft and various team philosophies and one that's always striking to me is the strategies of the Patriots. The belief is that typically a team can get players with talent similar to the first round, but at a cheaper price. Not a bad idea over all; I don't know if I agree, but it's an interesting theory. ... This got me thinking about the guys that TT has gotten in the second round since arriving in Green Bay. This led me to an
