I have Jermichael Finley in fantasy.

How does he play more than half the snaps in game 1, then catch 5 balls in game 2 and not show up on the box score in game 3? did he get snaps? looks? is he worth a start this week against the vikes? i ask this because vernon davis lit them up and the packers passing attack should spread them out even more....

vikes_28 · 09-29-2009, 11:34 PM

It's going to be a great game on monday night. I could see both teams tied til the final seconds.

I'd hold on to him if I was you. The Packers are trying to figure **** out on offense right now, and once they do, he's going to play a big part in it.

In Madden

If only...

Also, Rodgers is a much better model than Cutler.

No player is more deserving. He is playing absolutely lights out. Stopping the run, snagging INTs... So fun to watch him play

drowe · 10-06-2009, 03:56 PM

some good stuff on jsonline now. check it out.

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/packers.html

most significantly, the Packers brought Mark Tauscher in for a workout. said they set october 1st as the date he'd be ready to play when the injury happened.

Will Blackmon out for the year. yikes. another injury for him. great when healthy, but it's getting harder to justify a roster spot for him. i think we've gotten all we're gonna get out of him.

Charles Woodson called out Capers for the lack of blitzing. McCarthy was cool with it.

Jared Allen is a worthless human being.

McCarthy had some high praise for TJ Lang and how he played late in the game.

I knew that was the case as soon as I saw it happen. That sucks though. Need Jordy to step up in the return game and Underwood's time to play most likely.

This is great news. Great news. The obvious protection issues being what they are Tausch has got to be a significant improvement.

jackalope · 10-06-2009, 07:37 PM

Happy that we brought in Tauscher. If he's good enough to play football, he's better than what we have at RT now.

I usually hate hearing that a player ran his mouth off, but Woodson is absolutely right. The lack of a pass rush was the most frustrating thing last night. The QB constantly had all day, and for some reason we kept sending a three man rush and doing nothing.

The only thing that concerns me is that the Chiefs worked him out last week and didn't offer him a contract. The Chiefs offensive line is just as bad as ours if not slightly worse.

Why? If he's healthy and is performing he gets a roster spot, if not he doesn't. He'll go on IR and that roster spot will be open now. There is no liability in using a roster spot on him if he's healthy at the beginning of the year.

Blackmon almost never gets on the field for defense, so nothing should change there.

As for returns, Nelson looked pretty damn good last night. He had some nice runbacks, although they got moved back for holding. I don't really see this loss as anything big. Whether it's Nelson or going back to Tramon Williams, we should be alright there. The announcers last night were talking up Blackmon like he was amazing and it really hurt to lose him. Don't know what that was about.

PackerLegend · 10-06-2009, 08:06 PM

Ya Blackmon is explosive but since preseason it sure seemed like everytime Jordy returned kickoffs he did alot better.

Maybe im in the minority but Kampman still isnt the same and I dont see he coming back next year. If we could franchise and trade him like we did with Corey Williams id be happy. Maybe he will still improve alot but idk. Class act and hasnt really did anything wrong but he doesn't seem to be much of a difference maker like he was in the 4-3.

Aren't are OLB's suppose to be our main source of pass rush?

Ideally, yes, but we prefer to put them in a zone 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage and see if our magical, invisible blitzing fairies can sack the QB.

So far, they have not been successful as a real blitzing LB could be.

umphrey · 10-06-2009, 11:46 PM

I don't care about losing Blackmon. He's a decent returner but he always takes up a valuable roster spot doing just that when we have other guys just as good. He's never going to be a decent corner and you've seen his prime at KR. Use Jordy to return and activate Underwood and that's that.

oh, i completely agree. Kampman's heart just hasn't been in it since the 3-4 switch. he wants to have his hand down somewhere. really hope something can be worked out...i know player for player trades are rare...but, seems like there's a 4-3 DE in Carolina that wants to be a 3-4 OLB...and we have a 3-4 OLB that wants to be a 4-3 DE...........

You know what I meant. As in on the active roster.

I highly doubt TT would just let Kampman just walk if he decided to part with him. Also, keep in mind it's only Kampmans 4th game at Lber, he could play better.

GB12 · 10-07-2009, 08:41 PM

Looks like Tauscher is basically a done deal already.

Quote:

Babre set for Tauscher: Whenever the deal with Mark Tauscher gets done, starting right tackle Allen Barbre said he'll be ready.
"I plan on competing and seeing what happens," Barbre said. "He's a great guy, he can play football and he's done it for a long time."

He wouldn't have made that comment if he wasn't sure Tauscher was coming back.

Wow, well I thought Packer fans were better than this... Brett Favre torching the Packers killed me inside and still is, but not to the point of wanting to stab anyone.

Whistler6 · 10-08-2009, 09:54 PM

Anyone else just watch Derrick Frost boom that punt in the UFL game? I think he almost reached 40 yards. Glad he's gone, but kinda interesting game.

Primate · 10-09-2009, 08:29 PM

Derrick Frost is dead to me.

Should have kept my boy jon ryan.

PackerLegend · 10-11-2009, 03:59 PM

Have we signed Tauscher yet?

TitleTown088 · 10-12-2009, 10:34 AM

Taush signed today.
