 - One stat I'd like to see a lot more of is the hurry. The Green Bay Packers keep track of pressure/hurries during each season but they rarely share that information. The sack is a useful stat but knowing whether the QB was forced to hurry his throw can be valuable too. According to Football Outsiders the average pass play does much better when the QB is not hurried (though QB Aaron Rodgers is one of the few QBs who does well despite pressure). They listed LB Clay Matthews (21 hurries in

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 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

Last week we went through the list of free agents for the Green Bay Packers, and the comments seemed decidedly mixed on LB Aaron Kampman. It was about half in favor, and half opposed to resigning him. However his ability as a pass rusher can't be replaced in free agency, and they can't expect to find another LB Clay Matthews waiting for them at the end of the 1st round ... The Packers can guarantee his return by placing the

Now that the Super Bowl is over, we can turn 100% of our attention to the off-season and to the Packers' efforts to improve the team. As we have documented (and complained, and lamented, and ... you see where I'm going here), the Packers need help on the offensive line, especially at tackle. With Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher becoming unrestricted free agents this off-season, I feel that it's likely that one of them will be departing. Even if they both return for 2010, we need better depth and

The Bears have hired Mike Martz as their new offensive coordinator. Is this a good move? ... Martz has become somewhat of a punchline after two failed one-year stints as the offensive coordinator for the 49ers and the Lions. That fueled his paranoia, and he believed that he was being blackballed. But before that he was the offensive coordinator and/or head coach who led the Rams to two separate Super Bowls, and to the best record in the NFC in another. He created the Greatest Show on Turf.
